Spillers was established as a flour milling business in 1829. A bakery in Cardiff was acquired in 1856 to make ships' biscuits, and subsequently some lines were introduced for feeding to dogs. By 1914 the company was producing 18 varieties of dog biscuits at factories in Cardiff, Bristol, London, Newcastle and Birkenhead. Shapes, a coloured biscuit for dogs, was introduced in 1907 and Winalot, a dog meal, in 1927, and both soon developed into major brands. The company has continued to occupy a dominant position in the market for dog biscuits and meal with over 70 per cent of the total United Kingdom market in 1974.
The bakery was converted into appartments in the early 90s.
