Product Information

New legislation to end puppy and kitten farming will be laid in Parliament today (13 May), the Environment Secretary Michael Gove has announced.

On 1 st October 2018, prior to Lucy’s Law, the law surrounding licensed breeders, pet dealers and pet shops was updated to prevent them from selling puppies under the age of 8 weeks old. They are also required to state their licence number and the local authority from which they received it when advertising. However, the portion size present in Lucy Pet Products is large enough that it also contributes to the carbohydrate portion noticeably as well as providing other micronutrients such as Beta Carotene. If the puppy/kitten that you’re buying is under 6 months old, legally it must be bred at the premises from which the sale is being made. This recall-free record is not a huge surprise given the brand’s young age and relatively small product range but is still impressive and noteworthy.All of Lucy Pet Product’s recipes are produced within the United States; however, we are not sure of the exact location of this production or whether Lucy Pet Products outsources their production. However, they recently released a recipe for high-energy or active dogs with a more appropriate nutritional balance. Cat Food After she was rescued, a campaign was run in Lucy's name, focusing on the welfare of puppies and kittens when sold by third parties; dogs like Lucy are often forced to breed multiple times a year, with puppies and kittens being taken from their mothers at just a few weeks old and sold on to pet dealers and pet shops. Please find a short video for media use which provides advice for people on how to responsibly buy a puppy or kitten.

It was a relaxed briefing and no question felt silly to ask. Lucy is extremely knowledgeable and highly qualified. It is also worth pointing out that the dry and wet food recipes from Lucy Pet Products are very similar to each other, often including the same core ingredients. This could be advantageous to some dogs who prefer similar food but in different forms.This ban is a great step forward in improving animal welfare standards, and together with the tighter licensing laws introduced last October, will result in significantly fewer animals being bred in and passed around harmful or unsuitable environments by unscrupulous breeders and dealers. Best Dog Food With Pumpkin– Lucy Pet Products is in a select club of brands that utilize a significant portion of Pumpkin in their recipes. Pumpkin can be an excellent addition to the diet of many dogs, especially those with digestive issues. The law is named after Lucy, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who died in 2016 after being subjected to terrible conditions on a Welsh puppy farm. Dogs like Lucy are often kept by breeders to produce multiple litters of puppies, which are taken from their mothers at just a few weeks’ old and advertised online or sold in pet shops. We’re absolutely thrilled with today’s announcement which, if properly enforced, will help protect thousands of puppies and their mothers who are the victims of this horrific trade. We believe all puppies and kittens should be born and reared in a suitable environment, with their mother, where their welfare will be the primary concern. Lucy's Law is named after a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Lucy, who was rescued from a Welsh puppy farm in 2013. Her story is a sad one, as she’d spent the previous 5 years in a cage in which she could barely stand up, continuously breeding litters of puppies.

Lastly, Flaxseed features in some of Lucy Pet Product’s recipes as a minor ingredient. Flaxseed is another industry favorite thanks to its potential benefits. We hope this legislation will also encourage potential pet owners to first think about visiting their local rehoming shelters when searching for a puppy or dog, cat or kitten to adopt into their families.
