Pets & their owners to celebrate<br />

new pet food shop<br />

Tails will be wagging and whiskers quivering with<br />

excitement as the dogs and cats of the south-west<br />

areas get wind of the new pet food shop that has<br />

opened in Rolleston.<br />

Real Pet Food, previously trading as Hillmorton Pet<br />

Food in Hoon Hay for almost 25 years, has just<br />

opened its doors in Jones Road.<br />

Owner Bernie Hutton is thrilled with his new<br />

premises in a newly constructed block of five<br />

shops, which he says are much bigger than his<br />

former shop and are equipped with brand-new<br />

machinery for processing the pet food.<br />

The Hillmorton staff members have come to work<br />

at the new premises, plus an additional staff<br />

member has been employed, and since the shop<br />

opened many of the Hillmorton customers have<br />

been in for their pet supplies, Bernie says. These<br />

also include a range of birdseed.<br />

Real Pet Food offers fresh, raw meat, which the<br />

business sources from reputable suppliers,<br />

processes on site without the addition of<br />

any artificial colours or preservatives, and<br />

displays for sale in the store’s brandnew<br />

chillers and freezers.<br />

“This is proper food without<br />

any additives so it’s better<br />

for the animals, plus they<br />

don’t eat as much because<br />

it satisfies them,” says Bernie.<br />

Real Pet Food is also offering<br />

online sales through its new<br />

website, www.realpetfood.nz.<br />

The meat is available for purchase<br />

frozen in carton lots, and there is<br />

no delivery charge for customers<br />

across Christchurch city and the<br />

<strong>Selwyn</strong> district.<br />

The business also supplies meat for<br />

several organisations that need to<br />

have quality food for animals. These<br />

include sheep stations requiring meat<br />

for their dogs, the greyhound racing industry,<br />

and Orana Wildlife Park, to feed their<br />

hungry lions, cheetahs and meerkats.<br />

To celebrate Real Pet Food’s arrival in<br />

Rolleston, the store is holding an official<br />

opening event this Saturday, starting<br />

at 10am. There will be a sausage sizzle<br />

and refreshments, plus it will be a great<br />

opportunity for pet owners to swap<br />

doggie tales and chat about what their<br />

cats get up to.<br />

n Real Pet Food is located at Shop 4,<br />

855 Jones Road Rolleston, opposite<br />

Redpaths. Opening hours are Monday<br />

and Tuesday, 9am-5pm, Wednesday<br />

to Friday, 9am-5.30pm and Saturday<br />

10am-1pm.<br />
