Salad
Fav food: Arden Grange Senior Chicken & Rice because I love food and this one is lower calorie so I can get bigger portions. I am also 8 now, and the extra joint support is good for me. Hobbies/interests: Overseeing the kitchen when cooking is happening to ensure anything that is dropped food-wise is quickly cleaned up. I also like going to the beach and running on the sand, but I don't like getting wet!Gordon
Fav food: Arden Grange Training Treats because I love working and keeping busy, and getting rewarded is just the cherry on top! I'm not fussy with my main diet and I have a robust digestion so I can eat a variety of AG products, but I especially like the Performance which is great brain-food. Hobbies: Cuddling is my favourite thing to do, but when I am not cuddling I like going on road trips, training and exploring.Pimba
Fav food: Being from a Portuguese fishing village, I love my fish! So any of the Arden Grange foods or snacks that contain salmon or white fish. These keep my fur in lovely condition as well as tasting so good too. Hobbies: Mainly keeping the boys in order and supervising the humans too. You can often see me keeping an eye on things from doorways with my "arms" folded as I keep watch. I love flirting with Gordon and Salad too! Salad enjoys this, Gordon is a little bit aloof.About Lois
Lois is our quality control manager, but her love of animals and recognition of the importance of their diet has ignited a keen interest in canine and feline nutrition. She's the main contact if you have any issues that you think may be resultant of a problem with the food, but is equally happy to help with any general dietary queries. Lois can assist with product selection and feed quantities; with her passion for cats, she especially enjoys helping our feline friends. Lois has 2 cats - Elton and Elvis (both pictured) that supervise proceedings in a way that only cats can!
