Hey folks. There has been a few people recently thinking I haven’t replied to emails and applications when I have and it has just gone to their junk mail!

Not sure why my emails often end up in some people’s junk folder (coz I don’t consider myself junk most days although some mornings I may look like rubbish 🤣!)

So if you think I haven’t replied, always check your junk mail and if it’s not there then please follow up with another message.
Most of the time I’m on top of emails and applications within a few days tops. 👍👍

Black and Tan F1 Cavoodle girl.
Very, very rare that I have to put babies like this up on the page as they’re usually allocated at birth, yet here we are! ….

We welcomed some super cute baby boys to the family today.
Paddington is a red and white abstract Cavoodle and FizzGig is a chocolate phantom Toy Poodle.
These two boys will be infusing some new blood into the Peppertree Lane lines with their amazing colour, coat, health and temperaments.
Looking forward to watching them both grow!

I’ve had a few messages recently about fussy dogs not eating!
So whilst I wait for our Spoodle babies to make their appearance, I thought I’d write up an informative post!

Fussy Eaters!

OK im going to preface this by saying that fussy dogs are made, not born.

Am i blaming the owners of fussy eaters? Absolutely not! Owners of fussy dogs are the best, most attentive owners I know! But it's too much love and kindness that make dogs fussy eaters and to avoid falling into that trap, you need to be a bit hard hearted around food with your dog!

Dogs learn to be fussy when given too many choices. Dogs are creatures of habit. They don't need a varied diet to keep them happy. They are simple creatures when it comes to food.

If they are offered a well balanced, good quality food and they like it - then stick with it.

It's us humans that think their dog will get bored with the same food - they won't, trust me!

That's not to say that they have to have the same flavour and type of food every day for the next 15 years! You can mix it up a bit and consistently offer 3 types of foods that you know that they like and stick with those foods. But you’re best to do this once you have healthy eating patterns already established.

However, if you chop and change a dogs food around just because they're refusing to eat something they have previously liked, they will become ambivalent around food -”why should I eat this, when I can wait for that”?!

The end result is dogs who either

1. Choose to eat the less balanced part of their meal.

2. 2. Eat rubbish quality but tastier foods that have been offered.

3. Dont eat enough.

Or even worse - all three!

So lets start from when your puppy leaves me here at Peppertree Lane!

When you pick up your puppy, they will have had a good quality puppy Kibble and a premium quality meat roll (Prime 100). There are certain flavours of the Prime 100 that I prefer to offer them which is Chicken and rice or chicken and vegetable.

Along with that, they are sometimes given raw chicken necks or raw chicken wings (depending on the size of the puppy) as fresh treats. I will also introduce them to raw kangaroo mince as this is a protein that most adult dogs can tolerate without causing skin or gut issues.

I tend to avoid beef, pork and lamb as these are the most common proteins to cause skin and gut issues. As adults, my dog predominantly get kangaroo and fish based diets as well as chicken sometimes. All in the form of kibble, prime or raw.

When you get your puppy home, there will be a period of adjustment.

A new home, new routine, new bowls, new family.

So a puppy may not eat straight away and won't eat large amounts. They may appear picky and will only graze or consume small amounts. That's not to say that your puppy doesn't like their food, so don't start swapping it around and changing their diet. If they have eaten the food here for the past 4 weeks, then you can be assured that they DO actually like it and will eventually eat it at home. Don't be tempted to change it to something else.

This is where the issues start!

Since they are just babies and it's important that they do get enough nutrients, you can try adding meal toppers, warming their food, softening it with warm water or even mixing the prime or kibble with some warm cooked chicken mince.

Puppies are often not comfortable eating a lot all at once because they are getting used to their new environment and they also now don't have to compete with their litter mates! Dogs that eat in packs or have another dog in the home, instinctively eat well because they know if they don't - they are going to miss out because the other dogs will eat it!

Don't forget, their stomachs are the size of a marble, so small meals often is better.

Fussy eaters can be a complex issue and you can try to rule out other reasons for them being picky. Heres a few tips!

• Use a ceramic non slip bowl on a place mat so it doesn't move around and make noises when they eat.

• Some dogs prefer their food at room temperature, not straight out of the fridge.

• Restrict snacks and treats before meal times.

• Limit treats to training tools only.

• DON’T feed human food from your plate or feed human scraps and leftovers.

• Be persistent and consistent with your approach to feeding.

• Do not hand feed them if they don't immediately eat their food.

• Put their bowl down and feed therm in a quiet private area and walk away. Don't stand there to observe if they eat. They will pick up on your anxiety!

• Take them for a pre dinner walk.

• Don't leave kibble out for them to graze on all day.

If you have done all these things and they have suddenly started refusing to eat food they have previously liked, pick up the food and take it away. Then offer it again 20 minutes later. If they still don't eat it, repeat the process again. If they still don't eat it, take it away and offer fresh food for their next meal.

No dog has ever starved itself!

If they completely miss a meal because you have taken it away because they have refused it, they will be hungry enough to eat their next meal!

Some dogs are simply not food driven!

For some dogs, eating out of a bowl seems unnatural and can feel boring and repetitive. There are ways to make eating more attractive and fun for them.

• Use an interactive puzzle feeder.

• A treat ball is excellent for kibble feeding.

• Try scattering the kibble across the ground.

• Try “forage feeding” and toss their chopped up meat across the grass or ground outside.

• Use a lick mat for wet food.

• Hide dry food in a snuffle mat or snuffle bowl.

• Make mealtimes more fun by playing “hide and seek” with their food!

•

I hope this helps! Don't forget, a dog will not deliberately starve itself if there is no medical reason not to eat.

Be strong. Find a food they like and stick with it!

Teaching our puppies how to respect cats!

31/01/2025

Peppertree Lane is now providing an amazing service to ALL our new puppy families, INCLUDED in the cost of your new puppy.

Raising a puppy can be a huge learning curve and anyone who's keen to get the right foundations in place will likely have their mind brimming with questions about crate training, puppy pens, equipment to buy, toilet training set ups, routines, schedules, sleeping, eating and so many more.

Don’t you wish you could have somebody step you through all those questions? Somebody who can answer your questions based on your individual needs and family circumstances? Someone who can simplify all the conflicting ideas you may have heard?

I know that's exactly what our new puppy families would like so we are super excited to let you know that we are now including an amazing service with each and every one of our puppies.

Susan from Gem Dog Training will be available via phone/video to spend 90 minutes preparing you for your pup's arrival. I have known Susan for nearly 30 years when we were working together as Vet Nurses! With Susan's decades of experience across all sectors of the pet and vet industry, we feel very confident that you will get so much out of these consultations and we are so happy to include it in our program.

Whilst I provide you with lots of info in your puppy packs, Susan will provide you with lots of tips tailored especially to your own home, family life and set up BEFORE you take your new baby home form PTL.
You will then be able to welcome your new puppy home, completely equipped and empowered to make the transition the best one for you and your puppy!

Happy weekend folks! Hope you’re all having a good one 👍🤎 My weekend will be spent with some of these cuties! ❤️

We had one of Maple and Ambrose Cavoodle babies come and stay for a few nights while his mum and dad were in town for family business. I love how our babies born and bred here seem to fit right back in as though they had never left! Bruce and Matso thought he was such good fun. Murphy will sleep well tonight! 🤣
