Good Morning Everyone! 🐾
We hope you’ve had a good week. 🎊
Who’s seen the 1st signs of Spring? We’ve got a Spring flowering bush in flower 🌸 !
It’s starting to push through 👌
We are Open from 11.00-6.00pm today and look forward to seeing you all. ⏰
Your dogs might need a bit more food in this extra cold weather 🍗 so might be an idea to get a bit extra if you can only come at weekends. 🥶
We’re expecting deliveries so if you can’t find something do ask us and if we can’t find any it may well be they’re coming soon. 🤔
Have a Great Weekend Everyone. 🥂🎉

It can seem like a good idea when it’s as cold as it is at the moment, to try and combine things like walking the dog and nipping into a shop or two en route, to get back in the warm as soon as possible.
Please don’t leave your dogs outside shops or anywhere else, There’s a very real chance they could be gone when you come out.
You may never get them back or know what happened to them, or even worse, you or someone else may find their remains…
They are as just precious and special as your children, laptop, purse/wallet etc. 🐾❤️

Have you seen our Bulk Packs ?
We call them Bulk, but they’re actually only 1.5kg, which is Bulk compared to the 454g packs, but still small enough to be able to buy in variety, being available in Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Goose, Duck & Salmon, Chicken & Tripe, Turkey & Tripe, Tripe.

If you’re needing larger amounts, they’re well priced, working out to between £33.92-£35.02/10kg, but as mentioned, you can mix’n’match the 1.5kg packs to however much you need.

They also come in fully sealed, fully labelled and traceable, tamper-proof packaging, which also prevents freezer-burn.
What’s not to love?

How We Started: 🐕
Our second family dog was the gorgeous Jess, pictured.
She was a very sensitive dog who had very poor health no matter what we tried.
Our vet suggested cooking her food ourselves, which was an improvement, but the real turning point came in 1995 when we started her on a raw diet and her stools became small and firm overnight, her tummy stopped constantly gurgling, and she became calmer and more laidback, she'd even stopped having seizures!
We never looked back, persuading one of the only 3 wholesale raw manufacturers in the country at that time to divert to us on their delivery run, dropping off a bulk order for a group of us.
In November of 2011, we started Naturally Healthy Dogs, which later became Naturally Healthy Pets.
We love being able to help make a natural diet and treats more accessible for everyone.
We're open Tues - Sat at the Wireless Station, just outside Kneesworth, SG8 5JH

Sad News. 'Anti', who played 'Brandy' in AfterLife, has died. She was 13 and a very good girl 😢

's/ Phil Arnold 's weekend thoughts:
Dogs do some gross things, sniffing other dogs ge****ls, other animal's stools, getting a good whiff of a dead 'thing' that has decomposed beyond recognition. Really gross stuff!
To us, it seems that way anyway, but a Dog's olfactory (smell) system is up to 100,000 times more sensitive than ours. Their Olfactory bulb (the part of the brain that processes smells) is 3x larger than ours, where their brain is 10x smaller! This goes to show the amount of brain power dedicated to that part of their environment!
They can also smell seperately in each nostril! This explains how they are such good trackers!
On top of all this, they also have an entirely seperate olfactory system called the 'accessory olfactory system' that picks up on fluid based stimuli in the air - Pheremones, chemicals etc.
Have you ever noticed the 'flaps' they have on the side of their nose?
These allow them to 'continuously smell', not just picking up on scents when they inhale, but seperating the flow of air between respiration and scent detection.

Good Morning Everyone! ❄️
We hope you’ve all had a good week. 👍
It’s been a cold one, and not changing yet, so wrap up warm 🥶🧤🧣
We are Open from 11.00-6.00pm today, ⏰ and have lots of stock. 🥩🦴
It’s been an interesting week with the news of Nutriment buying The Dogs Butcher brand, but we’re assured nothing will change.. 🤞
We have a build-up of pallets from our deliveries so if any of you want any just mention it and we can show you where they are and let you know about access etc. 🛻
It’s always good if you can bring bags, and gives you less rubbish in your bin 🛍️ but we do have box’s too 📦
We have stock refills every day and even getting some on Sunday this week, so just ask if we haven’t got what you need, and we may know when it’s coming, or what is similar (Christmas upsets everything where deliveries are concerned) and remember we have the full Biscuits Pet Pantry range in-store at unbeatable prices for anyone who has smaller furry pets. 🐭🐹🐰
Have a Great Weekend Everyone! 🎊🎈

If ever there was a good reason to feed natural treats from well established, trusted companies, we are very selective about where our natural treats come from…..🐾

We are advising dog owners not to feed their pets specific dog chews from China following concerns from the European Union (EU) of a possible link to serious behavioural changes.

The affected products include 'Barkoo' chews and 'Chrisco' chews. A full list of products can be found here: https://www.food.gov.uk/news-alerts/news/precautionary-advice-issued-to-pet-owners-on-dog-chews-linked-to-illness

Reports from the EU suggest that these products have been potentially linked to dogs experiencing what is known as ‘werewolf syndrome’. Symptoms include panic attacks, aggression, spasms, epileptic fits and in some cases death. There is no confirmed distribution of the chews to the UK and no cases have been detected in the UK.

If you are a dog owner and you have any of these products, please cease feeding your dogs these chews immediately. If your dog is unwell and has been fed any of the dog chews listed, you should seek veterinary advice and provide detailed information to the vet about the foods and treats your dog has been fed.

If you are a vet who suspects any cases associated with dog chews, you can report them through the Animal and Plant Health Agency’s (APHA) Small Animal Surveillance: https://statics.teams.cdn.office.net/evergreen-assets/safelinks/1/atp-safelinks.html
