Pedigree offers a comprehensive range of products from dog food to dog treats to suit every life stage and lifestyle.

The range also includes specific diets for active working dogs, ensuring tailored nutrition for your dog's unique requirements. And for a daily treat that also cleans teeth, the popular Pedigree Dentastix range is a fantastic choice for maintaining oral hygiene.

Pedigree FAQs
Is Pedigree a good food for my dog?
Pedigree is a complete and balanced choice for many healthy, adult dogs without specific dietary sensitivities or health concerns. The brand invests in scientific research to formulate its diets to support overall health and wellbeing. It's always best to consult with your veterinarian to determine the most suitable diet for your dog's specific needs.
Can I feed my puppy Pedigree?
Yes, you can. Pedigree offers specially formulated puppy foods, such as the Pedigree Puppy Chicken and Rice dry food and wet food options. These diets are designed to support healthy growth and development, with controlled levels of calcium and phosphorus for strong bones and teeth, plus added DHA for brain and vision development. It is crucial to feed a puppy-specific formula, rather than an adult dog food, to ensure they receive the correct balance of nutrients during this critical growth phase.
How do Pedigree Dentastix work?
Pedigree Dentastix are a popular and effective dental treat designed to promote good oral hygiene. Their unique 'X' shape and gently abrasive texture help to clean teeth and reduce the build-up of plaque and tartar as the dog chews. They are clinically proven to reduce tartar accumulation by up to 80% when fed daily. While Dentastix are a fantastic tool for at-home dental care and are enjoyed by dogs as a daily treat, they are not a substitute for regular veterinary dental check-ups and professional cleaning when required. They are most effective when used as part of a comprehensive oral care routine, along with toothbrushing, dental diets and additional dental supplements and products.
