We worked with a top nutritionist on Pet Greyhound to ensure it is filled with the essential vitamins and nutritional benefits that greyhounds require.
"We are delighted to be working with the Retired Greyhound Trust on Pet Greyhound and have pledged a £1 donation to them for every bag of Pet Greyhound that is sold, to help them continue their vital work rehoming thousands of greyhounds each year in Britain."
Pet Greyhound is competitively priced (RRP of £19.95) and is available from Retired Greyhound Trust Branches and affiliated re-homing centres as well as the Dodson & Horrell online store.
Peter Laurie, Chief Executive of the Retired Greyhound Trust said: "The Trust receives a lot of questions from the public who are looking for the best available pet food for their dogs. This food is the answer to their questions and is the product that pet greyhound owners have been waiting for.
