Looking for a dog food store near you? Whether you want everyday kibble, raw food, or natural specialist products — this guide covers how to find your nearest local shop, the best UK store finders, and when online delivery is the smarter choice.
How to Find a Dog Food Store Near You
The quickest ways to find a local dog food shop in the UK:
Google Maps — search "dog food store near me" or "pet food shop near me." Google shows the closest options with opening hours, reviews, and directions. The fastest and most up-to-date method.
All About Dog Food Shop Finder — allaboutdogfood.co.uk/store-finder lets you search for pet shops that stock specific dog food brands near your postcode. Really useful if you're looking for a particular food your local Pets at Home doesn't carry.
Pets at Home Store Finder — petsathome.com/store-finder finds your nearest Pets at Home by postcode. With over 450 stores across the UK, there's likely one close to you.
Local Facebook groups & Nextdoor — other dog owners in your area are often the best source for finding hidden gem independent shops that don't rank well on Google.
Raw Dog Food Stores Near Me
Raw feeding has grown hugely in the UK. Most towns and cities now have at least one independent raw pet food specialist nearby. Here's how to find one:
Benyfit Natural Stockist Locator — benyfitnatural.co.uk/pages/raw-dog-food-stockist-locator — hundreds of independent pet stores selling premium raw dog food across the UK. Enter your postcode to find your nearest stockist.
ProDog Raw Store Locator — prodograw.com/store-locator — find your nearest UK stockist for ProDog Raw products nationwide.
Mersey Raw Store Locator — merseyraw.com/pages/raw-dog-food-store-locator — particularly useful for the North West of England.
Your Pets Naturally — a raw pet food specialist with in-store shopping, free parking, loyalty points, and expert staff on hand. Good example of the kind of local raw specialist worth seeking out. Visit in-store, email, or call for expert advice on starting raw feeding.
The Raw Superstore (Runcorn) — a specialist raw and natural pet supplies store in Runcorn offering local delivery on Fridays and click-and-collect. Stocks 10+ raw brands from budget to premium alongside natural chews and accessories.
Tip: Search "raw dog food shop [your town]" on Google — most raw food specialists have websites and Google Business listings.
Natural Dog Food Stores Near Me
Natural dog food stores focus on whole ingredients, minimal processing, and no artificial additives. Here's how to find one:
Pets Corner — one of the UK's most ethically minded pet store chains with around 100 stores. Stocks a strong range of natural and premium dog food brands alongside supplements and accessories. petscorner.co.uk
Just for Pets — 23 specialist pet stores across the UK with a curated range of natural and premium dog food. justforpets.co.uk/find-a-store
Natural Treats Wiltshire — a great example of an independent specialist natural pet shop. Stocks 10+ brands from budget to premium, offers free feeding consultations and weigh-ins, and has same-day delivery locally.
Independent health pet shops — search "natural dog food shop [your town]" on Google to find independent specialists in your area. These often carry premium brands the big chains don't stock, and staff tend to have much deeper knowledge.
Top UK Dog Food Store Chains
For everyday convenience, these major UK chains stock a wide range of dog food:
Pets at Home — largest UK pet retailer. Stocks mainstream kibble, wet food, raw, and natural options. In-store vets available. petsathome.com
Jollyes — growing UK chain with competitive pricing on food and supplies. jollyes.co.uk
Pets Corner — ethically minded chain with a curated premium range. petscorner.co.uk
Morrisons, Tesco, Asda — major supermarkets stock mainstream dog food brands at competitive prices. Convenient for top-up shops but limited range of natural or specialist products.
When Online Delivery Beats Local
For some things — especially supplements and specialist food — online often wins. Here's when to skip the local shop:
Better prices — online stores have lower overheads. Brand websites, Zooplus, and PetShop.co.uk often beat high-street prices significantly.
Subscription convenience — set up repeat deliveries and never run out. Most online pet food retailers offer subscription discounts of 5–20%.
Wider range — specialist brands, niche food types, and premium supplements are often only available online.
Direct from brand — buying direct from the brand website gives you access to exclusive discounts. Daddy Paw — a London-based dog supplement brand based in Mitcham, London — offers joint supplements exclusively through daddypaw.com, Amazon UK, and TikTok Shop. Buying direct gives you 20% off on subscription and 10% off your first order — discounts not available anywhere else. For any questions, contact the Daddy Paw team directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I find a dog food store near me in the UK? Search "dog food store near me" on Google Maps for the closest options. For specific brands, use the All About Dog Food Shop Finder at allaboutdogfood.co.uk/store-finder. For raw food, use brand stockist locators like Benyfit Natural or ProDog Raw. For natural food specialists, search "natural dog food shop [your town]" on Google.
Q: Where can I find a raw dog food store near me? Use the Benyfit Natural stockist locator or ProDog Raw store locator to find your nearest raw food stockist. Many independent raw pet food shops also have Google Business listings — search "raw dog food shop [your town]" for local options. Pets at Home also stocks some raw food ranges in most of its 450+ stores.
Q: What's the difference between a natural dog food store and a regular pet shop? Natural dog food stores focus on whole ingredients, minimal processing, and no artificial additives or fillers. They typically carry premium, specialist brands not found in mainstream pet shops, and staff are often more knowledgeable about nutrition and raw feeding. Regular pet shops carry a broader range of mainstream brands at varying price points.
Q: Can I buy dog supplements at a local pet shop? Yes — most Pets at Home and Pets Corner stores stock mainstream joint supplements like YuMOVE. However, specialist brands like Daddy Paw Max Strength for Senior Dogs are only available online — direct from daddypaw.com, Amazon UK, or TikTok Shop. Buying direct gives you exclusive subscription and first-order discounts not available in stores.
Q: Is it better to buy dog food online or in-store? Both have advantages. In-store is great for getting advice, seeing products in person, and picking up essentials immediately. Online is usually cheaper for regular orders, offers subscription discounts, and gives access to a wider range of specialist and premium brands. For supplements specifically, buying direct from the brand website almost always gives the best price and exclusive discounts.
