Here at Lucky Leads we do our best to be environmentally conscious
With this in mind, we have chosen to stock 'Poppy's Picnic' raw food.
Poppy's Picnic is a Wiltshire based raw food company, who use local red tractor farms for meat, and locally farmed veggies.
Their RAW POWER and MIGHTY MINCE trays are 100% compostable or can be recycled as paper. They are made from a plant-based pulp with a bio-laminate liner, all of which can go in the compost. Meatballs are packed in recycled and recyclable clear trays. Once pulp trays for meatballs can be sourced these will be replaced too!
We have a freezer in the shop for Poppy's Picnic raw foods and can accommodate your monthly or weekly order too.
We also stock Tabby's Table, from Poppy's Picnic, which is specially designed for cats, and is available in 3 flavours - Chicken, Turkey with Lamb & Beef with Chicken
Just as we’re told that fresh food is the healthiest way for us to eat, the same applies to our four-legged friends. Founder Dylan Watkins and his Chief Executive Dog, Poppy, launched Poppy’s Picnic in 2016 to make it easy for people to feed their dogs a raw food diet the way nature intended.
Headquartered in the heart of Wiltshire, our tasty wholesome recipes have been lovingly crafted with the help of canine nutritionists and fourth generation butchers. With no hidden nasties, the balanced meals contain all the goodness a dog needs for optimal health and wellbeing.
Here’s a fact you probably didn’t know - the rules for producing food for animals in the UK are far more stringent than those for producing our own food stuffs!
DEFRA (the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) oversees these regulations and enforces the strict government guidelines.
Is raw dog food regulated?
Poppy’s Picnic is a DEFRA-registered raw pet food company and we abide by all the legislation that covers the manufacture of raw dog and cat food. This means you, our wonderful customers and four-legged friends, can buy our award-winning meals with confidence. As a DEFRA dog food company all our ingredients have been sourced, processed and packaged in a totally safe and hygienic environment. Our raw cat food, Tabby’s Table, is also held to these high standards.
An important part of the safety regime requires that a sample of every batch of food we produce to be sent for microbiological testing, for Salmonella and Enterobacteriaceae, by an independent laboratory. This is to ensure and maintain the quality and safety of our products. The results are sent to APHA (the Animal and Plant Health Agency) which also carries out regular inspections of the manufacturing facilities of DEFRA-registered raw dog food companies.
