Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons have seen demand rise after more people bought pets during lockdown.
Pets have a large carbon footprint. Are we sure that they are absolutely necessary?
Plus cats kill more wildlife than property developers.

They must be big cats to be able to kill property developers
I can't imagine cats kill very many property developers.
Humans have a vastly greater carbon footprint than pets. Are kids absolutely necessary - not at all. A couple with 2 cats is vastly less harmful to the planet than any family, even if the family is vegan, drives an electric car etc. Let us have our pets and enjoy them.
In what way is breeding more animals for meat for dog and catfood, and letting more cats out at night to kill millions more birds, slow-worms and other wildlife....in what way is this looking after our planet better, or helping us to get closer to net zero carbon?
Several of these pets are an insurance policy against further lockdown causing food shortages.
Could feed a family of four for a week on a labrador.

This must be the most important story of the day. Nothing else of importance happening anywhere in the World?
Well at least now we know that our pets too must suffer along with us.

Oh, there's lots of important things happening now. The Republican state senate of Georgia just passed a voter suppression bill last night that will massively disenfranchise black and minority voters (who are mostly democrats).
But try seeing an actual news story on the BBC. It's all supermarket shortages, squirrel's riding skateboards and other trite nonsense.

We just get our dog food from a dog food supplier twice monthly. Nice Raw cow and bull parts (privates included) and tripe, none of this overpriced packaged crap from the supermarket.

That really has made me laugh. This is the BBC hosted forum! Pet food is safe.

Poor cats. Cats deserve the best - once we had one that would only eat fillet streak. Anything else he would turn his back to the plate of food, shake his rear left leg, then shake his rear right leg and walk away. I wouldn't eat pet food either!
Looked after my mums cat once, woke me up at 5am with a paw in the face to feed it
Hours of badgering later when I eventually gave it the “new” food it looked at me liked I’d vomited on it, hissed at me and sauntered off through the cat flap without touching the food

If meat production is to be dramatically reduced as per the Vegan wish list, convincing my dog that a blend of Brussel Sprouts & Cabbage is good for him is going to prove far more difficult than shortage of packaging.

I'm awaiting birth of second grandchild. When I wondered out loud whether, like some ancestors, the baby would have ginger hair, was that racist? If it wasn't, why? I do buy expensive dog food for my arthritic dog, though, ordered online. Sainsburys and Tesco don't sell it. Amazed that anyone buys food in pouches, my dog would clear that in one lick.
I've just checked the market data out and the pound and stock market seem to be weathering this devastating news quite well
To whoever's down voted this please lighten up we haven't had a subject like this for a bit of lighthearted fun for ages.

buying pet food in pouches is ridiculous. It costs more and is encouraging wasteful packaging. Better off buying a big sack of dog food.
A shortage of the all-round not good option is.... good.
A shortage of the all-round not good option is.... good.
Not all pets want dry food, it probably is wasteful yes but if you care for your pets, that's what you do.
Larger resealable containers are a better way.
big bags of dog food are no good for cats, they can only digest meat and there are lots of vegetables in dog food.
One of my 3 cats has digestion issues and throws up most food. In the wild he'd have died young, probably. But I can buy him some specialist wet food designed for cats with gastrointestinal problems.
They don't make a dry food variant.
Also, 2 of my cats are adopted strays, eho had such bad teeth they had to be removed. They struggle with dry food, and really need something softer.

Unless your pet has special diet requirements that means you can only use pouches, its much better for the environment to buy dry or canned food. The pouches are usually made of single use plastic and foil composite which doesn't get recycled, where a metal can is widely recycled.
The little tin foil cans work quite well. But best of all is to get hold of racehorse meat, I know a number of country folk do that and it is the cheapest way if yu have large or lots of dogs.

Sainsburys 152 years old, dogs first domesticated 13,000 years ago, how did dogs survive for 12848 years before Sainsbury's?
They shopped in Tescos !
Remember there were far far far fewer of them and us even 50 years ago. Much easier to feed.
Its a dog eat dog world.
Or perhaps they can eat all the surplus seagulls and pigeons now our town centre bins are always empty.

because they didn't need their food packed in vast amounts of unnecessary plastics and ate the food we humans would now rather waste.
It's just food pouches-tins and dry foods are available. Probably the finger should be pointed at inexperienced owners who buy premium products rather than a tried and tested brand
I used to treat my canine to fresh meat twice a week with wholegrain rice (not white rice)
Pets don't 'want' anything.
They will eat whatever is put in front of them. It is their owners who are way to soft that fall for the advertisements and misinformation.
In the wild animals don't eat cooked and otherwise processed foods.

if you hadn't given it anything else it would soon eat it.
If they’re starving then they’ll eat it.
What did we have before pouches? It's a marketing gimmick. You open your own meal for one & pop it in the microwave & you get to treat your pet the same (less the microwave of course). You now feel that the pet is getting the same 'luxuries' as you but the pet doesn't give a flying (unless it is a parrot of course).
Respectfully, if you care for your pets you buy fresh food, not chemically addictive products processed by Pedigree.
There are plenty of meat products available from the butcher.
Dry food is produced by many smaller producers who don’t use additives.
If you can be bothered to research it, there’s loads of choice without resorting to processed c**p.

Oh come on. People own pets not the other way around. If I had your attitude my cat would still be drinking milk. Train your animal to eat other things instead of letting it dictate what you buy.

As for our dog, we spend 15 quid a fortnight on Raw Cow parts from a dog food supplier. That's packets of tripe, bones, penises, testicles, ears. He loves them.

Management is far to busy with 'politically correct', 'doing the right thing' initiatives, rather than basic tasks like getting stock onto shelves.

how do you know they will be discarded? that is a rather large presumption?
The abuse is Humans turning wild animals into pets for self gratification
We need massive fines for selfish people who abandon their pets post covid. I can see the Blue Cross being overwhelmed with cockapoos, labradoodles and other assorted mongrels, bought by uncaring people to alleviate the boredom of lockdown.
Your name says everything I need to know about you. If global warming is great don't preach to me about my animals.
No need to discard your dog. Advertise it on ebay. I hear they are selling for silly money at the moment.
The world became even more senseless when the price of dogs tripled overnight. We now have the sad situation of people trying to rehome their untrained pets for the same price as they paid for them. A cookerpoo (a mongrel) is selling for up to £3000. Unfortunately they are now worthless and will struggle to find any home. A pouch shortage is just symptomatic of this madness.
Agreed - better if they were never born/bred for the feeble minded to buy on a whim. Meanwhile many of them are a damned nuisance to neighbours, etc. I'm tired of the barking from local pooches and having to avoid (if I'm lucky) their faeces when I go for some exercise. What's with the poo bags hanging in trees, often close to a dedicated bin anyway? There should be FAR more controls on dogs.
There were queues at Jollyes when I passed this morning.
Now I know why.
Can some media mogul print that there is going to be a shortage of common-sense this year so that we can see where the queues form?

This is no bad thing. Having bought pouches in the past you fhen find they are non recyclable and could be mad ein Thailand which is unacceptable . No mention of welfare standards of the animals used in them. The food miles, lack of recycling and animal welfare issues should mean pouches of any kind should be banned crom being imported .

Oh dear, there's a shortage of single-use plastic packaging for a product that ought to be packaged in something recyclable instead.
