/ Phil Arnold Saturday thoughts:
As we all start thinking more about Christmas decorations and dressing the house up for the Holiday season, there are more and more things that can be a danger to our Pets.
Some, like in the infographic, are obvious and easy to spot. Others are a little more hidden. 'Festive' seasonings on otherwise inert food items are usually laden with artificial sweeteners or powdered Onion.

Treats at this time of year are all 'christmas coloured', many if these dyes are sugar based, many of the binding agents are starch or sugar based and to top it all off, Your Pets can't even see half of the colours!

Although we advocate for the use of Garlic in Flea and Tick prevention, many Garlic flavoured things use it in powdered form. We don't advise any powdered forms of cooking herbs as the drying process increases the concentration of any harmful compounds.
The range of Artificial sweeteners used in foods is always increasing and not many of them are good for us, let alone our pets but the one to watch out for is Xylitol. This is also known by the following names:

Birch sugar, Wood sugar, Birch bark extract, 1,4-anhydro-d-xylitol, Anhydroxylitol, D-xylitol, Xylite, Xylitylglucoside, Zylatol, and E967.

Xylitol can cause a rapid drop in blood sugar and liver damage in dogs. Even small amounts can be fatal. Symptoms can develop within 20 minutes and any case of ingestion is a call for an emergency vet visit.

Raisins, Chocolate, Nuts and cooked bones are all things that are dangerous all year round, but are more prominent and more easily obtained during the holiday season.

The other things to watch out for are any Bulb plants (Onions, Leeks etc) as these are all in season now, and flowers from bulb are going to be being planted around this time of year, so if your Dog likes digging, be aware!

If you have any questions regarding the safety of foods or treats during this time of year, the team here is always happy to help, and with over 2 decades of combined experience, if we don't have the answer, we'll find it for you!

🍖Bones💀
The type of bone you feed is just as important as the amount.
Many manufacturers use the '80/10/10 Golden Ratio' but if they are using Shanks or Spine, especially in Beef or Venison Minces, then the Bone isn't digestible and actually poses a small risk in terms of blockages or chalky white stools/constipation.

A little background:
A Dog's stomach acid sits between 1 and 2 PH, similar to Battery Acid. To digest Bone matter, it needs to be closer to 1, the presence of complex Protein structures or clean Fats triggers the release of Enzymes to maintain this level. Carbs and Starch raise the level closer to 2 - Why we never recommend feeding starchy carb based foods alongside a Raw diet.
Even at Battery Acid level, not all bones can be completely digested within the transit time from Stomach to Intestines. Especially those that are in larger chunks.

Some manufacturers will use the cheapest Bones available, this means using the Bones that other manufacturers pass on at auction. These are typically Spines and other load bearing Bones and are less digestible. So if your Dog seems to get constipated every time they eat Beef, Lamb or Venison, then perhaps trying a different brand would help this.

Other brands do totally the opposite. We recently had a customer enquire why the bone amounts in the Kiezebrink minces were as high as 30%!
This is what we would call 'responsible manufacturing practice' - they pick out the softer, more digestible Bones and simply include more to get the right Calcium and Mineral content. This promotes a healthier digestive system and prevents the risk of blockage, constipation or a diet drifting to unbalanced over time due to lack of bioavailable nutritients.

If you have any issues or questions regarding the differences between brands or why some are vastly different in composition to others. don't hesitate to get in touch or ask a member of staff in the shop.
One of the benefits of shopping with Naturally Healthy Pets is that we are all enthusiasts - Enthusiastic about Animals, Enthusiastic about healthcare and passionate about providing the best service possible for your Pets.

We hope you’ve all had a great week.🎯
We are Open from 11.00-6.00pm today.⏰
The advent calendars are flying out so don’t delay as we only have a set amount and they go out of stock at suppliers very quickly at this time of year. 👍
We have a few of the Dino minces left, so give them a try if your dogs liked Totally Natural then we can make them permanent if wanted.
Hope you all have a warm weekend! 🧣🧤

Wilson’s Update:
We know many are waiting for our Wilson’s delivery so here’s the latest update. Having checked their website and seeing it saying the current lead time was 10 days, we waited to contact them, but contacted Wilson’s today when we still had not received any correspondence for when to expect delivery.
It seems somehow our order was delivered to somewhere in Plymouth a few days after we had ordered it, and Wilson’s thought it had come to us and all was well.
We are hoping to hear when we can expect to receive it tomorrow. 🤞

Just to fill everyone in, we have now been given an estimated day of Friday (by end of day) for our Sana order to arrive, so 🤞 we are restocked for Saturday!

Do any of you struggle with pet smells ?
We have been sent a container of No More Smells and need someone to try it out for us - cat p*e odour would give it a good trial. If you want to trial it for us, get in-touch!

Founder Steve created No More Smells in 2019 after being shocked at the amount of toxic chemicals that readily available air fresheners contained. He wanted to make a safe, effective, chemical and enzyme-free air freshener available to people. Today there are four No More Smells products, each brightly coloured bottle designed to eliminate a different pong. They work naturally, encapsulating and oxidizing the pong and annihilating it. Leaving no tell-tale fuggy, sickly masking smell. Just lovely, fresh air.

Good Morning Everyone! 🌦️
We hope you’ve had a Great week.🎯
We have been very busy, the Smartbarf arrived, the Nutriment Lightly Steamed is here too, as well as Proflax and Anco orders, but I’m afraid DHL tried to deliver Sana the day before it was due, and it was our closed day and they sent it straight back to Germany so we’re still waiting for that. We are waiting for more Advent Calendars as they are almost all gone, and the new DAF minces are almost gone! We’re waiting to find out when Wilsons is due to arrive, with New flavours in the Working Dog Cold Pressed, and we are looking for some Cat customers 🐈‍⬛ to trial a new, unscented natural de-odouriser which is so good it tackles Cat urine! 🐈
We’re Open from 11.00-6.00pm today ⏰ with nutrition consultant support, so pop down!
Have a Great Weekend Everyone! 🎉
