Creature Comforts are proud to announce the opening of a new 1000 sq ft store now open within the grounds of Trelawney Garden Centre at Ashford.

The newly opened venue is a complementary site to the popular town centre store at Joy Street,Barnstaple, and they hope to build on their current success within the town and throughout Devon. Creature Comforts are a long established family company trading originally from market stalls in the late 80’s to their status now as a well-recognised local retailer of quality pet food and accessories with branches at Honiton, Tiverton, Bideford and Barnstaple. Building their business slowly over the years has allowed them to concentrate on building a reputation for ‘good old fashion service’ giving support and advice where needed with invaluable expertise on nutrition and general animal keeping. Soon to be selling reptiles, the new site with it’s FREE on site car parking is an exciting opportunity to grow the bulk side of the business as the difficulties they experience within the town restricts how their customers are able to shop with them. Many customers currently requiring heavy bulk bags of food for their wild birds, dogs or rabbits or awkward items such as rabbit hutches use the FREE weekly delivery service, call 01271 323003 for details, due to the location of the store within a pedestrian area, or simply go elsewhere. Trelawney Garden Centre site now enables them to overcome this obstacle and offer you the right product at the right price and can be collected when you require it, even if it’s a Sunday.

To date the biggest success story of the company is their own brand premium dog food. ULTIMA comes in three lifestages and incorporates more than 50% meat into the recipe together with all the benefits of prebiotics, brown rice and importantly glucosamine, MSM and chlondroitin for joint mobility. Mix this together with all the elements they have learned the consumer wants from a diet and make it free from wheat gluten, dairy, maize, soya, colours and flavours. Preserve it naturally and you have a winning combination and best seller. Why not try it next time you are at Trelawney or at any Creature Comforts store, simply ask for a FREE sample and find out why it is now so much more popular than ALL the big brand names. Could it be because it is cheaper? Or because it is better? Or better and cheaper!?!
