Below, we heard from Nick Martin, The Pet Butcher’s dedicated owner. South Australian-owned business The Pet Butcher has been recognised on a national stage, picking up the title of Best Pet Food Brand 2025 – Australia in our annual APAC Business Awards. This award comes at a time when the demand for fresh, natural pet food is at an all-time high across Australia, with more pet owners turning away from massproduced kibble and canned products and searching for real food and balanced diets for their pets. “This award is a huge honour and a proud moment for our entire team”, said Nick Martin, owner of The Pet Butcher. “We started with a simple mission: to provide pets with fresh, wholesome food – just like good old-fashioned home cooking – with plenty of variety to keep tails wagging and pets living their best lives.” There are no preservatives across this range, and a dual commitment to using only fresh, local ingredients and minimising waste sees it offer unrivalled pet nutrition across its extensive, finetuned menu of meals and treats. Beginning from the most humble origins, the brand got its start when Nick came across a traditional butcher shop with character frontage for sale – a location steeped in history as it had been trading for almost 100 years. With this location to boot, the concept of high-quality pet food could really begin to take shape, bolstered by an authentic setting that upholds this vision of premium goods at every turn. From this base, the brand has grown considerably. With five bustling stores across Adelaide, a huge product range, and a booming delivery service, The Pet Butcher has become a true South Australian success story. Its stores are stocked wall-towall with freshly made meals, smoked delicacies, baked loaves, raw meats, muffins, and an impressive variety of treats for every good boy and girl. Even better, pets are welcome in-store to help pick dinner themselves, setting this award-winning company apart. For those who simply cannot get enough of these products, The Pet Butcher offers a series of subscription boxes for its customers across South Australia. Available in a number of different styles for dogs of all sizes, each box is filled with premium cuts and nutritious organ meats to keep canines eagerly awaiting their next meal. The blend of unique flavours and textures with just the right amount of varied vitamins and minerals for optimal health keeps customers coming back, and flexible options and free delivery boost convenience. As the above demonstrates, The Pet Butcher is aligned with customers and suppliers alike when it comes to this vision of a brighter future for pet health and food quality across Australia. On the back of this, Nick explained: “This award isn’t just about us. It’s about our amazing customers who trust us with the health of their pets, and about the South Australian producers who supply us with the freshest ingredients.” Thus, this win belongs to the entire community The Pet Butcher has built, making its success in this programme even sweeter. Finally, looking ahead, Nick has big plans for The Pet Butcher’s expansion, but is keeping the details under wraps – at least for now. Sharing all he could with us in closing, Nick added: “Watch this space – the best is yet to come.” If what follows is just a fraction of the quality the brand has demonstrated thus far, then the future is incredibly bright for The Pet Butcher, which continues to set the standard when it comes to pet food in Australia.
