A new conveniently packed dog food has been introduced at a campsite in Northumberland.

Herding Hill Farm is one of the three sites that will provide a range of lunch-box sized dog food by WCF which owns three canine-friendly campsites.

The handy bowls of kibble are designed to fit easily into any backpack and is on sale from reception at all three sites.

Jo Ritzema, managing director of WCF, said: "We really want to make sure that our sites offer the best possible experience for our guests and their pets.

“Introducing a range of lunch-box sized dry dog food was a natural addition to the services we already provide such as dog-friendly accommodation, doggy welcome packs, scenic dog walks on site, dog exercise areas and dog washing facilities.

According to WCF, the three sites, Longnor Wood in the Peak District, Herding Hill Farm in Northumberland, and Drummohr, near Edinburgh, have accommodated almost 5,000 dogs over the last year.

Ms Ritzema added: "They are already proving really popular with guests who like the convenience of having a transportable, ready-made meal available for their pets.

"Many of the site teams use them for their own dogs and so are able to provide personal recommendations."

In the last year, nearly 1,300 dogs have visited Herding Hill.

One guest staying at Herding Hill Farm site said: “We took our dogs for a walk near Newcastle on Saturday and had a lunch box for our dogs with us and it was great for them to be able to have their meal after a long trek.

"The boxes are just the right size and ideal to put in your backpack.”

Offered in three different ranges, the 100 gram kibble portions are part of the WCF Pet & Equestrian’s own Lakes Collection brand of premium dry dog food.

Ms Ritzema said: "We’re absolutely delighted with the response from visitors who seem to appreciate the fact that we go the extra mile for our canine visitors as well as their owners.

"All three sites received a “Top Votes” award in the most recent awards operated by Dog Friendly Magazine, with Drummohr taking the overall nationwide Bronze award.”
