If you are new to feeding your dog or just want to make sure you are picking the right thing, check out our complete guide on how to choose the best food for your dog. It walks you through the basics of kibble, wet food, and raw diets so you can walk into any shop with confidence.
Jollyes Leeds (City South Retail Park)
This is my top pick. Located at City South Retail Park, off Dewsbury Road, Jollyes has a dedicated raw food section, a community pet clinic, and a click and collect service. If you are buying in bulk or trying out a new brand, this is the place. One thing I really like is their raw food fridge. It is well stocked and clearly labelled. No guessing games. And honestly, having a pet clinic on site is a bonus. You can grab your food and get a quick health check all in one trip.
Pets at Home (Leeds Crown Point)
Right in the city centre at Crown Point Shopping Park, this is your classic one-stop shop. They are open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 8pm, which is handy if you work late. They have a Groom Room too, so you can double up on errands. The selection is broad, covering everything from budget brands to premium lines. A downside? It can get busy on weekends. But if you need something standard and familiar, you will find it here.
Paws for Thought (Otley)
Now this one is a gem. Paws for Thought has been around for over 35 years and has been recognised by Which? Magazine. It is an independent shop in Otley, so not right in the city centre, but worth the trip if you want personal service. The owner really knows dogs. I went in once with a vague description of my dog's upset stomach, and they handed me exactly the right food. No fuss. If you are dealing with a sensitive stomach or allergies, this is the kind of place that will talk you through your options.
Raw Superstore @ Doggroom (Hunslet)
If you are feeding raw, this is your spot. Based at 117-119 Church Street in Hunslet, they specialise in raw dog food. The staff are knowledgeable about different protein sources and how to transition your dog onto a raw diet. If you are new to raw feeding, they will take the time to explain it. And if you are worried about how to keep that raw food fresh once you get it home, we have a full guide on how to store dog food properly so it stays safe and nutritious.
Pet Lodge Superstore (Pudsey)
Pet Lodge in Pudsey is a bit of a destination. They have a pet-friendly cafe inside, which is honestly a brilliant idea. You can grab a coffee while your dog sniffs around. They stock a wide range of foods, including some specialty brands you won't find in the big chains. If you are making a day of it, this is a fun stop.
Paw Prints (Leeds City Centre)
Right in the thick of things, Paw Prints is a small city centre shop that focuses on natural and holistic dog food. They also offer online delivery, which is useful if you are carrying groceries and a bag of kibble is the last thing you need. Their stock is curated, so you won't find every brand under the sun, but what they do have is quality.
