Very strange company. I'd have thought in times like this with businesses trying to recover from the pandemic that they wouldn't be refusing orders. I totally understand that the terms and conditions of the promotion that they just had was one per household but when I was ordering on behalf of my neighbours using my own email addresses, for them to… then saying that they're refusing the order I thought this was very strange. Other companies let me do this. I know plenty of people that use this company for their dogs food, but I may have to reconsider where I take my business from now on

We feed all our rescue dalmatians on Silver, young and old, stone formers and non stone formers .... they thrive on it !! We also feed all our Great Danes on Titanium and they too love it. All our dogs are in much better condition since being fed on Gilpa food ............... we highly recommend them

I have feed Dr John Silver to my dogs for about 15 years and they have always done well on it. My dogs have included Labradors, Springers, JT terrier, WHV and a Lakeland terrier. The JT nearly made 17 and the Springer is 15 and going strong. I have also converted my bruv and a good friend to Dr John Silver with there dogs being kept at better weight more easily and more settled in there manner, plus excellent coats.
