Refills.

Refill stores have been on the rise over the last decade as part of our growing awareness, both as consumers and business owners, of the detrimental effects that excess packaging has on the environment. Food packaging (of which dog food is a part) contributes a huge amount to our growing landfill problem, with much of that packaging also being made from single-use materials (e.g. plastic and other non-biodegradeables).

Refill stores aim to reduce the amount of landfill waste by offering package free options on a range of products. Refill stores also give you more control over how much you spend each time, by allowing you to determine how much of each product you purchase each time.

At The Dog Grocer we have a developed an extensive line of refillable products for you, which you can either pay for per item, or by the kilo using our free weigh scales.

Products currently in our refillable line include:
– Kibble
– Treats and chews
– Training Treats
– Shampoo
– Natural Supplements
– Natural meal toppers

So when you come in store remember to bring a container and be prepared to weigh, fill, weigh and pay!

We regularly change our refill product line to keep things interesting for you and your dog. To see a more detailed breakdown of what we have on offer at the moment, visit our online store.
