NATURO

The Mackle Family have been creating high-quality pet food in County Armagh, Northern Ireland for over 50 years. Naturo Natural Pet Food is a part of the family business. Naturo was created in 2010 after Mackle Petfoods recognised the need for a natural dog and cat food, that used high-quality ingredients and was accessible to all pet parents who wanted to provide a healthy diet for their four-legged friends.

Working closely with our inhouse nutritionist, Naturo Natural Pet Food’s recipes contain high-quality human grade pet food with 100% natural ingredients, added vitamins and minerals, and helps meet the nutritional needs of a healthy and happy pet.

Naturo Natural Pet Foods are proud to be the No.1 Natural Wet Dog food brand in the UK and has been since 2017*. They are the 5^th highest selling overall Wet Dog Food Brand in the UK.*

Our dogs and cats are not just pets, they are four-legged family members. Find out how Naturo helps look after them below.
