| Bern Petfoods - Press Release |
GLENKRAG BECOMES SOLE DISTRIBUTOR OF ORIJEN & ACANA IN IRELAND
Bern Pet Foods has announced an exclusive distribution agreement in Ireland with Glenkrag, for its range of ORIJEN and ACANA dog and cat foods, as well as the recently introduced ORIJEN freeze-dried range.
Colin Rodger, director, Bern Pet Foods, says: “We have agreed an exclusive partnership with Glenkrag, the largest wholesaler to the Pet, Aquatic and Garden Trade in Ireland. This exciting new arrangement enables us to provide improved service to our existing customer base in Ireland and also to reach a large number of potential new ORIJEN and ACANA customers that we have not been able to engage with so far, using our own salesforce. This relationship gives us the perfect opportunity to offer our brands to stockists and ultimately pet lovers throughout Irelandâ€.
He added: “Demand for ORIJEN and ACANA has increased dramatically over recent months, as many more pet owners switch their dogs and cats to our range of biologically appropriate foods and treats. We are, therefore, delighted to have formed this strategic alliance with Glenkrag to help meet the growing demand for our products in Ireland, and product is now available to be ordered directly through Glenkrag.â€
Mark Hutchinson, Sales & Marketing Manager at Glenkrag said: “Due to market trends and customer requests, our focus has moved towards the dog and cat food market in recent years with very positive results. This agreement fits with our strategy of meeting the growing trend towards premium natural foods and treats. We are very proud to be associated with Bern Pet Foods and to be trusted with the exclusive distribution of both the ORIJEN and ACANA brands throughout Ireland. We have built our own business on the quality of our offer to customers, and this new relationship clearly builds on and strengthens that.â€
Glenkrag supplies over 7,000 lines of dry goods for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, small animals, ponds and aquatics to its 500 customers throughout Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

| Does your Dog suffer from Hay Fever? |
The prolonged winter that we’ve had tends to delay the flowering of some early tree species, this can lead to a pollen explosion as many of these trees begin to flower at once.
Dogs can inhale pollen in the same way we humans do, but the resulting responses can be different. Animal Response to pollen is mostly seen in the skin as opposed to the eyes and nose as in Humans. Symptoms can include your dog scratching and biting his body, licking his paws, shaking his head or rubbing his face on the floor or furniture. It isn’t just inhalation but also direct contact with pollen that can also cause this reaction in the skin. In more severe cases the skin may well appear pink, red of inflamed and repeated scratching may break the skin and allow for infection. If your dog is sensitive to seasonal allergies, it is likely that they will start showing these symptoms from April onwards as dogs are particularly sensitive to tree pollen, which is about much earlier than grass pollen and the early days of spring are when we usually see it.
These irritating symptoms can be prevented by ensuring your dogs natural skin defences are working as intended. Omega 6 and 3 oils increase the essential fatty acids in a dog’s diet to improve their skin health. For example adding Yumega Plus to your dog’s diet will ensure they get the correct balance of these oils, helping to calm sensitivity and irritation in the skin. Yumega Plus contains added fresh Salmon oil and more vitamin E than standard Yumega making it perfect for dogs with itchy and sensitive skin.

You may already have noticed a few new icons appearing on the stock listing pages of the website in recent days. Throughout the website we have now added an option to toggle the view of the product listing pages. You can now display product listings in a grid view, by clicking on the grid view button on the top right of the listings, or you can continue to view the products in a list view.
Everyone will have their own personal preference on how they browse the website, but for me the new grid view makes it much easier and quicker to view products on a computer without too much scrolling, while the list view may still be much easier for anyone placing an order on a smart phone or tablet.
