**About Bella & Duke**

At Bella & Duke we champion pet health and wellbeing, challenging the status-quo so that pet-centred, species-appropriate nutrition becomes the natural choice for every pet owner. We’re pet people and know that pets are always by our side, through thick and thin, making our lives better. Our pets have always been right by us, it’s time we do right by them too.

We believe in repaying that commitment by providing the food, nutrition and support they need to survive and thrive. Pets have evolved to consume a natural and varied diet, and the difference that makes to their health and quality of their life is night and day.

Bella and Duke was founded in 2017 by Tony Ottley and Mark Scott. Both Tony and Scott had lost their dogs to cancer and were convinced that the processed foods their dogs had eaten their entire lives could have potentially caused the disease. After carrying out extensive research on raw and natural dog food and finding there was a gap in the market, they decided to take action and create their own. Our products have been developed with animal nutritionists and vets to ensure the utmost quality and all ingredients are sourced from local suppliers. During the last four years, business operations have gone from strength to strength, and we now deliver frozen raw dog and cat food all over the UK and are the UK’s largest D2C pet wellness brand.
