Our best-selling food is ACANA, which we believe to be one of the best foods on the market. Suitable for all life-stages, this food is cooked at a lower temperature in order to maintain all the nutrients. With 15 variations containing 50-70% meat, fish or poultry, there is a formula for every dog.
We think you will love ACANA. More importantly, we think your dogs will too.
At The Barking Lot, we strongly believe in the "try before you buy" concept, so after providing you with a free nutritional consultation for your dog, we will offer you free samples from our selective range of quality dry dog food. We are so confident that your dog will love and thrive on the food you decide to purchase that we offer a satisfaction guarantee! Just bring back any food you are not completely satisfied with for a replacement or refund.
We offer a loyalty scheme on 2K or larger bags of ACANA, Carnilove and Burns dog food - buy 7, and get the 8th bag free.
Our wet dog food is 100% natural, with 60-94% meat, fish or poultry, plus vegetables, potatoes or rice.
The next best thing to raw feeding, Ziwipeak dog food is truly one of a kind. Containing a whopping 98% meat, organs and bone from ethically farmed meat and with added green lipped mussel, it is handcrafted in small batches in New Zealand and gently air-dried.
This produces a food that is as nutrient-dense and digestible as a raw diet, but without the mess, making it convenient for raw fed dogs while on holiday. It's also great for fussy dogs and for use as a high-reward treat. Available in chicken, beef or lamb.
Raw pet food is more popular than ever, as people discover the benefits of feeding a more natural, less processed food closer to what their pet's ancestors would have eaten in the wild. We stock a combination of raw meaty bones, raw minces and nuggets, but we also have convenient complete minces and chunks. Natures Menu was one of the first raw food providers in the UK and remains one of the best, with impeccable traceability of ingredients. Nutriment is an award-winning, family-owned business with an uncompromising, small batch mentality. Both foods are produced in DEFRA-approved facilities and tested to stringent standards.
We all know that dogs love chewing, and this is beneficial to the dog in many ways. Chewing helps to keep their teeth and gums clean and healthy, but it also relieves boredom and anxiety. The chewing action releases endorphins from their brain, which are the "feel good" chemicals we all have in our bodies.
Our antlers, raw bones, olive wood and chew roots** are all natural, and our best-selling Yakers chews are made from yak's milk with the lactose and fat removed, which is then compressed and smoked. Our toys, balls, and ropes are made from non-toxic materials.
Chewing can become destructive when dogs are stressed or bored-it's a way of self-soothing, so always make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and is not fearful or stressed. We have natural calming solutions and two fantastic dog behaviourists just a phone call away that can help with stressed out dogs-just give us a ring or an email.
Treat dispensers such as Lickimat and puzzles are great interactive toys to relieve boredom, too.
** Always supervise your dog with bones and chews.
The Barking Lot has one of the largest selections of natural, ethical treats that you'll ever find.
Sensitive or fussy dog? We've got you covered. Most of our treats contain 100% meat, poultry or fish and come with a satisfaction guarantee. We scrutinize the ingredients of every treat that goes on our shelves so you can be sure they are healthy with no additives, colourants or preservatives.
The question we are most often asked is, "Do you have a toy my dog won't destroy?", so we have spent many hours researching durable, safe toys from the UK and the USA.
We have 2 ranges that have a money-back guarantee - West Paw Design and Mighty Mutts. Of course, we also stock many Kong toys and chews, which we believe are the gold standard in dog and cat toys. Because of the danger of certain rubber and plastic, we take great care in choosing safe, non-toxic toys- many of which are eco-friendly and recyclable. Check out our best-selling, extremely durable Chuckit! natural rubber balls and throwers, and you'll see the difference right away.
Pop in and talk to us about your dog's requirements anytime.
We have hand-made fleece jumpers, raincoats, and handmade wind and water-proof winter coats for dogs that work with either collars or harnesses.
Our award-winning, sustainable and biodegradable Beco feeding bowls are made from bamboo and rice husks and are available in several pastel colours.
We also have durable stainless steel and beautiful ceramic bowls.
Our best-selling Hownd dog shampoos and wipes are all-natural, free from alcohol, parabens, soap, and dyes and are very concentrated, so a little goes a long way!
With aloe vera, argan and essential oils, these shampoos and matching spritzes will leave your dog smelling wonderful and their coat super soft and conditioned. They also decrease shedding-it's true! The lavender spritz doubles as a calming spray.

We stock conventional treatments like Fiprotec (Frontline) and the generic for Drontal wormer, but we encourage you to have a chat with us about our natural preventatives. It's been proven that healthy dogs shouldn't get fleas and ticks, and too many chemicals can lead to poor health, so we stock all-natural Verm-X, Phytopet, Tropiclean, Beloved and Billy No Mates. We recommend natural, Worm Clear Verm-X worm preventatives along with faecal testing twice yearly with simple kits from www.wormcount.com
We also stock the Phytopet range of herbal supplements for everything from anxiety to travel sickness. Like humans, nervous dogs respond differently to different remedies, so what works for one may not work for others. Adaptil uses pheromones to calm anxious dogs, Pet Remedy uses valerian, and Serene-Um contains an amino acid which converts to seratonin in the brain.
