Mutt and Co has moved into the former Laura Ashley site next to Waitrose in Eaton.  

The store, opening on April 1, will stock gourmet pet food, including raw options for both cats and dogs, treats and accessories.

James Kinge, 28 and from Norwich, decided to open the shop after spending years working in the pet food industry. 

Norwich Evening News:

He said: "Raw feeding is fantastic, it is the most natural way to feed your pet. 

“A dog in the wild isn't going to be able to find biscuits, so a natural diet is better for their digestion, promotes a glossier coat, and is overall a healthier option."

The shop will also stock pet accessories from brands including Joules and Pampeano.
