We love our dogs in the Harrogate district, and increasingly owners are wanting to feed their four-legged companions more nutritious and organic meals.
One company making inroads in the market is Naturaw, which was founded in Tockwith in 2015 and has built a name offering ethically sourced and sustainably packaged dog food.
It's grown from a small operation in Marston Moor Business Park to an annual turnover in the millions.
Its products are sold by more than 160 UK retailers and supplied directly to dog owners online.
Chris Broadbent, director, said Naturaw's green credentials are its "raison d'etre" and help it stand out in a competitive market.
There is no plastic in its packaging and the meat they use comes from animals reared on high welfare farms.
