Changed Ozzy's food.....

[jonnytrabant]

I was in Robertsons Pet Shop in Newcastle the other day taking to the owner about Eden, I was quite shocked when he told me that it's made by a third party (sorry can't remember the name) as he wanted to stock it. Eden couldn't gaurantee certain requests by Robertsons so he backed out.

What requests was this ?  maybe that the price wouldnt be increased?
made by a third party?  surely they dont think that the owners of eden stand in their kitchen and make it?
Eden isnt yet available in any shops yet till next year. Not really able to back up his information me thinks this guy at Robertsons 

The owner didn't elaborate on what his requests were, I was only in getting a few treats but clearly he had concerns over Eden. I will be calling in later this week I shall endeavour to find out his reasons for not stocking Eden.


From the Eden web site "Eden Holistic Pet Foods are an independent family owned company based in the rural countryside of Staffordshire. The company was formed in 2011 with the aim of producing foods which supported the health and vitality of our own animals and has grown and flourished into the small business we have today."

To me that does suggest that they indeed produce/make their own food. It certainly doesn't say, we get someone else to make our food and we stick our logo on and sell it.

But that's what they aparently do. And they certainly won't be the first company to do so.


Jane Eden as you know works well for your dog, but not for mine.

When you say "make their food"  it doesnt matter who produces it, its produced to edens recipe.
Its like say unbranded foods in supermarkets saying "we have a morrisons factory that produce all own branded morrisons food"
Or asda factory making asda crisps.
They are all made in a general producing plant but to each their own ingredients and recipe.

Eden is clearly labelled and tested and that is all that matters.
They have thousands of customers now and obviously have grown and grown now they are exporting food to other countries in the world, its only natural they have to branch out into bigger things.

Im sure you do know at the end of the day its a superb food but just doesnt suit harry or some others, thats not to say there is anything wrong with either the food or the dog.

I posted about the Eden being made at Golden Acres which apparently makes all the kibbles (apart from Millies Wolfheart) even one that says it comes from overseas. The company sends the packaging to GA and they make the food as it is more economically viable for them.  
If you have a look at the site it gives a little more information.

Eden recently did say that their food is made at the largest production centre in europe. Absolutely true.
