Might be worth using purchasing power and avoiding them!

My cats hated it. I am so proud of them!

betty Grin once your dog gets bored on forthglade could they "write" a letter to stonewall?

EnormousDormouse · 30/06/2018 15:04

Would Orijen be an alternative? High protein and grain free. I use the cat version for my rescues (the pampered beasts!) and they do very well on it. It's not cheap but they need to eat far less than the other brands I've tried.

Hodge, there is a recently bumped thread about Lesbians that will give you some overall background on how TRA have affected LGB people - Stonewall’s policies have aligned with a lot of the stuff on that thread.

BettyDuMonde · 30/06/2018 14:57

Misty, thanks, but my dog will get Forthglade until Lilys stop donating to SW.

It’s cheaper anyway and suits her stomach, plus the packaging is lighter so easier to cycle home with.

The only thing Lilys are bringing to the table is additional variety. I will tell her it’s Stonewall’s fault that she’s bored!

MistyEyedMixture · 30/06/2018 14:49

For the sake of dogs' stomachs don't boycott if it'll make them ill. Some dogs it's not just grain free they need but the balance of veg, protein, carbs, fats etc. Different levels suit different dogs and actually there is a difference between brands. Leave a nice message to lilys kitch staying it'd be more appropriate to donate to animal charities and save your carpet from upset digestion Confused

Thanks @Writersblock2 and yes, another vote for Wolf of wilderness for anyone looking for an alternative. Also AATU

GameofPhones · 30/06/2018 14:40

Thanks. Will be boycotting.

There are many amazing grain-free dog foods out there. I can’t remember the website but if you search “grain-free dog food Which guide” loads of good info comes up. Mine like Wolf of Wilderness.

Hodge I don’t have any links to hand, unfortunately, and I’m a bit pressed for time but if you do a search on this forum you will find plenty to read.

I am very sad about this too, especially as I was a big fan of Lilys.

I have been mulling over this stonewall thing as I too, used to be a big fan and am very concerned about their seeming anti feminist agenda. Can anyone point me in the direction of more to read please?
My company is a huge supporter of stone wall and I don't feel there's any way I can express my concern about it without being called homophobic or transphobic and it having a huge negative impact on my career :(

LassWiADelicateAir · 30/06/2018 14:22

There is a hipster tone to it which the other posh brands don't have.

Mine like the Encore fish range too.

Silentnighttwo · 30/06/2018 14:21

My puppy eats this. I had no idea. Thanks for sharing.

BettyDuMonde · 30/06/2018 14:21

Poop.

My doggy has a really sensitive gut and can only tolerate grain free.

Forthglade is good, but she gets a bit bored.

Considering she’s a former illegal hare courser, she lives a charmed life after rescue!

LassWiADelicateAir · 30/06/2018 14:17

Mine eat but it's not their favourite luxury brand. They prefer Sheba and Gourmet.

misscockerspaniel · 30/06/2018 14:07

I am all for companies making charitable donations but these are strange bedfellows. Then again, when I see it on a supermarket shelf (and pass by), I have always thought that it looked like hipster crap.

LassWiADelicateAir · 30/06/2018 11:19

Thanks WritersBlock

Crap, isn’t it? Lass, yes I’ll post a comment like that. :)

Smoked salmon cooked in scrambled egg is a puppy favourite in my household at Xmas. If you need alternatives. :p

Wtf? Why would a pet food company support a political lobbying group (unless it was on behalf of animals)?

They could have picked Peta or if Peta is too controversial something Animals Asia. The work Animals Asia do on behalf of bile bears deserves support. If you don't know what a bile bear is don't Google, it's horrific.

I only ever bought it when I ran out of ddog’s regular food and needed something you can buy in a supermarket, but I will choose another brand next time.

Agreed that the funding should go to an animal charity, since they're always underfunded.

LassWiADelicateAir · 30/06/2018 01:27

I just think it is very disappointing that the company did not pick an animal charity. Stonewall gets loads of funding.

Wanderabout · 30/06/2018 00:55

If you stop buying it make sure you let them know why. Stonewall openly say on their site that lesbians can be male so you can link. And also point towards WPUK, FPFW Man Friday or wherever.

Doobigetta · 30/06/2018 00:01

Oh FFS. Lily's Kitchen is about the only food that my little madam will eat. That has really pissed me off.
