Burgess Pet Care is a leading animal food manufacturer based in Yorkshire, England. With a heritage dating back to the 17th century, the company has evolved from flour millers to producing wholesome farm animal feeds and, more recently, specialized food for small animals. With a strong emphasis on family values, Burgess Pet Care remains independent and is deeply committed to promoting animal welfare and responsible ownership.
The company offers a range of brands catering to different animals, from Burgess Excel for small animals, endorsed by 92% of UK vets, to Burgess Cat and Burgess Sensitive for dogs with specific dietary needs. Notably, Burgess Pet Care has collaborated with renowned dog enthusiast Paul O’Grady to launch an innovative range of dog foods, including a No Nasties and Hypoallergenic selection.
One of the company's key initiatives is dedicated to improving animal welfare through research and education. Supported by Burgess Pet Care, the University of Edinburgh conducted significant research, leading to the discontinuation of muesli-style diets due to associated health risks, demonstrating the company's proactive approach to enhancing animal health.
With its rich history, strong brand presence, and dedication to animal welfare, Burgess Pet Care presents a compelling investment opportunity for venture capitalists seeking to contribute to the pet care industry's growth and development.
