About Top Collar 

A few words from the cleffurist human.. the one who allows us to have Sunday Roast any day of the week!

Hi, I’m Sophie, the proud owner of Top Collar.

From day one, all our ranges began natural, with your pets in mind, and will stay that way. We focus on smaller, home-made production, which means your pet gets fresh, locally sourced dishes, as opposed to processed pet food which can be sat around for literally years.

Keeping it fun, whilst considering your pets health and delicious flavours, makes their Top Collar dining experience one to look forward to. I hope you enjoy our diverse menu, and see the happiness it brings the whole family..

 My Review ( Da Impawtant One)

Guess what? It’s a Wednesday and I’m having Sunday Roast. I’ve had it every day this week so far! Yup, these terrier-ific treats are great effuryday and mum has told me that there is an option on Top Collars' website to get them delivered every month. So, what are you all waiting for - get them pet humans trained straight to the computer! The best part is the box is the pawfect size to fit through the letter box so we can receive it when the humans are out! The bad part is grandad has installed some weird wirey contraption on the back of the letter box to stop me from helping myself to the post, which is ridicuwuff. Any large dogs to give me a doggyback drop me a message - I'll share the post with you! BOL.

Human handed me a wufferly box decorated with a little Jack Russell sticker on the address label - MINE! Paws off! The corner had a little paw stamped on it with the letter 'O' in the middle of it. I know this is the company logo - but I told Derby it stood for Nellie's Only. *sniggers behind paws* As you know I'm all about the taste so will allow humum the chance to explain about the box and the attention to detail in her section of the blog.



Me and ma Sunday Roast!

Humum had to open the box pals, these thumbs they have come in handy sometimes! There was a cute little company card inside which had a menu on it.. I told the humans to order me one of everything, I'm still waiting!!

They were pawjus! Derby was drooling I woof you not!  Mum snapped one in half to show me what was inside them, and the aroma of Sunday Roast sent me to cloud nine! Dog paradise! I nommed it immediately, and even did a rollyover tickle my belly trick for these noms!



Don't panic pals - this company has our best interests at heart. The humans have no excuse now for letting our treats run low! Keep 'Em Coming enables us to get our noms on a regular basis and they don't have to wait in for them! Humum will explain on her part about the delivery of this box, it means them humans can toddle off to work or if they're like mine, to the shops! They don't have to wait indoors pestering us pooches - the postie can drop them through the letterbox safely and securely. Only £8.95 a month! Click here for details.

Humum Review

With a motto like 'Fun, Fresh and Natural' I was intrigued. As a dedicated pet owner I adore my dogs and unfortunately know too well, that some companies solely focus on profits rather than the wellbeing of our pets, whether this be dogs, chickens or even rabbits. As those who are regular readers of these blogs will know a good diet is vital for an animal’s health and I strongly believe that we shouldn’t feed them anything that we wouldn’t eat ourselves. Well – this company combines a selection of natural ingredients with being a tasty treat for our dogs. Top Collar is simply top notch.

The presentation of the box was a delight to see, a balance between cute and informative without overpowering me with too much unnecessary information. This company has learnt that a quality product speaks for itself, a lesson many could take on board with their design team. The cardboard box was the perfect size to fit through the letter box, making it ideal for those who lead a busy life going to social events or work. You can breathe a huge sigh of relief knowing you don’t have to sit around all day waiting on a parcel, and knowing that the box can safely be recycled after use.



Get me good side?

The box measures approximately 18cm x 18.5cm x 2cm, adorned with a cute paw print stamped on the lower left corner. A personalised address sticker is situated in the centre, alongside an image of a little Jack Russell sitting among Top Collar products. This attention to detail gives the correct impression – that your pet is the priority and attention to detail is most certainly not lacking at all. The back of the box includes a sticker outlining the product, ingredients, storage instructions, weight, analytical constituents and best before date. This information although seems all too easy for some owners to overlook is a stamp of approval in any pet lovers books. This information is a requirement which is often overlooked but yet vital in knowing how this food will have an impact on their pets.

Because of how fresh the treats are and the fact they do not contain any ‘nasties’ such as artificial colouring, additives and preservatives they do not last for months and months. I don’t see this being an issue at all – all three of my dogs loved them!  A date is clearly hand written on the label on the sticker so you know when to use them by. I think this shows just how fresh these are – that every individual order is produced for the dog/s the order is meant for – not batch produced and stored away for goodness knows how long.

Box contents

The box is sealed with a sticker and upon opening has a translucent sheet to keep them fresh, and beneath that was a sheet of blue tissue paper. The inside of the box has a cute little sticker stating what the product is along with illustrations of the ingredients used. This does look very professional and at the bottom ‘Share me...’ I thought this was a great touch to the product – however Nellie may not have!

A glossy card was placed inside the box, with the illustration of a chalk board menu, which is one of the most adorable things I have ever seen. It outlines what products available, under the courses Puppy Perfect, Main Menu and Golden Oldies. I haven’t had the privilege of reviewing any of the other dishes – including Salmon and Scrambled Eggs for the older dogs and Chicken Tagine for the younger dogs out there. The range of products on offer really has made me realise, and hopefully you too, that dog treats don’t simply have to consist of beef, chicken or gravy. We like a variation in our diets and would love to try these dishes if this was a human dish – so don’t deprive your dog of the dining experience!

The biscuits are shaped into love hearts which are rustic in appearance, clearly time and effort has gone into this product. These are about four cm and the box was contained a full layer. It was obvious the dogs were intrigued as they all gathered and offered me a paw, a smelly old teddy and a chewed up bone in exchange. It did make me chuckle.

The product contains Chicken, Parsnips, Carrot, Sweet Potato and a Milky Biscuit Mixture giving a light texture packed full of flavour. Carrots are great for preventing Vitamin A deficiency. This helps to prevent a dull dry coat and skin irritations. I was amazed at how human grade the ingredients were and emailed the owner to ask if there was anything dry added. Nope. I was reassured, and a big paws up to this company from sourcing local ingredients. All items are freshly bought, cooked, diced and cooked with.

All three dogs loved these, especially Derby. They were crunchy in texture and a great treat for him, they were cooked to perfection for him as weren’t too soft nor hard. Nellie, well I had a variety of tricks off little legs for these little bites of delights – even a rollover! Tootsie also ate her fair share, and will know that she has developed a hoarding habit! I have found everything ranging from pears to pinched socks in her bed! The other night I was walking past and peaked in to see Tootsie and Derby having a midnight feast – a day after they last were given them! They clearly had hoarded them for a special occasion!
