With government guidance changing daily, a number of our stockists are taking measures to protect their teams and their customers whilst still providing essential products.
As things continue to evolve we just want to assure our customers that we are open for business at RED MILLS and continue to supply a full range of animal feed products to our stockists and customers all over the world.
Some of our RED MILLS stockists would like you to follow new guidelines when ordering and collecting you feeds. We’ve put together a summary of the updates, we hope you find this summary helpful. For updates on UK stores please visit this link

Midland Vet, Tullamore
In order to protect our staff and our loyal customers we are taking some new precautions in the shop to prevent/reduce the spread of coronavirus. We are aiming to reduce person to person contact by setting up a drive through system at the shop:
We ask all customers to please wait in their vehicles until a staff member is free to attend you. Alternatively you can phone the shop on 057 9351332, place your order and we will have it ready for you.
We also currently offer a courier service to deliver veterinary products to customers around the country. This may be an option for some people.
Pre payment can be made over the phone if required and contactless payment is also available in the shop.
For anyone who cannot come to us and is concerned please contact us and we will facilitate your needs as best we can.
The procedures we have put in place will add to our workload greatly but the safety of customers and staff is of the greatest importance. Please have patience and bear with us at this time.

Customers are asked not to enter the main shop area – a member of staff will take your order at the door and place the order through the till system. This will increase the length of time taken to process your order, so we ask you to bear with us

Thanks to everyone for their patience.

Please open your own car doors and boots to allow staff to load goods, minimising contact of potentially contaminated surfaces. When arriving with trailers we recommend a flatbed type to minimise handling. Staff will not be allowed to load horse boxes as there are too many possible contaminants.
If you or a family member are displaying symptoms or suffering from Covid-19, please refrain from visiting the yard. At this time, we would request that children should not visit he yard if possible.
