Premium dog food manufacturer Walker & Drake has agreed a three-year sponsorship deal with the Aces High flyball team.
Under the arrangement, Walker & Drake will supply the Aces High team dogs with cold-pressed dog food and soft-baked treats, as well as supporting the team with any required nutritional advice.
The family-run Aces High team has been established for more than 22 years and has succeeded at the highest level within the sport in recent years, including wins at Crufts, the BFA Indoor championships and the British Flyball Championships.
Walker & Drake produces three ranges of premium cold pressed food that includes recipes for all life stages, small breed and puppy, with a total of seven different flavours available.
Jeanette Shelley from Aces High said: “The team are so delighted to have Walker & Drake on board. We tested the food last year with three of our team dogs and the results were amazing, a definite improvement in overall condition, even for one of our girls that has very problematic digestion.
“We love the ethos of their manufacturing process and we can see the proof in the condition and behaviour in our dogs.”
Tim Matthews, sales director at Walker & Drake, added: “Flyball is one of the fastest growing dog sports internationally. We’re very excited to be working with Aces High, their passion for their dogs and the commitment to their sport is a credit to them all.
“We are also looking forward to working with a team of dogs that are at the peak of their physical condition. Monitoring their progress will be interesting and we’re looking forward to the feedback.”
