Bella & Duke

A raw and natural pet food company

Company overview

Bella & Duke was founded in 2016 by Mark Scott and Tony Ottley – two friends who agreed that existing mainstream pet food products did not give dogs and cats the best chance of enjoying long, healthy lives. Bella & Duke’s raw, natural petfood provides notable health benefits to pets, with over 92% of customers reporting an improvement in their dog within 8 weeks.
