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 />
