Hollings Dog Treats, a name synonymous with high-quality, natural pet treats, has a history that dates back to the early 1980s. Founded by John and Judith Hollings in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, Hollings has remained committed to offering dogs the kind of treats we would instinctively choose in nature, rooted in the Hollings’ philosophy of quality, care, and authenticity.
The birth of Hollings Dog Treats
John Hollings brought a wealth of experience to the table when he founded the company. Having worked as a butcher for many years, John possessed a deep understanding of meat and animal products, knowledge which would prove invaluable in the creation of Hollings. His expertise in utilising the waste products from the industry, often overlooked in traditional pet food production, helped set the foundation for the company’s mission: to provide 100% natural, wholesome treats. This focus on quality and authenticity has always been at the heart of our ethos.
John and Judith’s passion for nature and their shared commitment to delivering healthy, nutritious products for dogs was instrumental in the business's early success. They understood that dogs, much like their wild ancestors, thrive on a diet rich in protein and natural animal-based ingredients. Hollings treats were created with this understanding at the forefront, ensuring that each product delivered a natural taste and texture dogs would love while also promoting their health and well-being.
A family legacy
Over the years, Hollings evolved into a trusted and well-respected brand within the pet care industry. John and Judith’s two sons, Richard and Geoff, were integral to the company’s continued growth. With a shared passion for quality products and a commitment to the values instilled by their parents, Richard and Geoff worked tirelessly to carry on the Hollings family legacy. Their dedication ensured that the business remained at the forefront of the pet treat market, consistently producing products that met the highest standards of both quality and sustainability.
The importance of family values in the development of Hollings cannot be overstated. The Hollings family always placed the welfare of pets first, and this unwavering commitment to delivering safe, healthy treats resonated deeply with pet owners across the UK. As the business expanded, their personal touch remained evident in every product, ensuring that Hollings retained the authenticity that had made them a household name.
The future of Hollings
Today, as the business continues to grow and evolve, the Hollings family legacy lives on in every product that carries the Hollings name. The commitment to using natural ingredients, ethical sourcing, and creating the very best for our four-legged friends is as strong as ever.
As pet care becomes an even bigger part of people’s lives, Hollings stands proud as a symbol of quality, passion, and care. From its humble beginnings in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales to becoming a beloved name in the pet care world, Hollings has stayed true to the values that were set from the start. Looking ahead, the future is looking bright, ensuring that our dogs will continue to enjoy top-notch, natural treats for years to come.
