After an incident recently with Luna where we had to rush her to the emergency vets, we thought we’d do a post to help others prepare for a similar situation. Luna is on the mend now, but must say it was really scary and that’s for someone who has dealt with accidents previously in rescue.

It's really difficult to think clearly when your pet is hurt, so if you have these things prepped when there's no emergency, it means you can focus more when it happens.

Things to think about before:

• Pet first aid kit - Make sure you have a pet first aid kit in the house, also good to have one in the car too in case anything happens when you are out and about
• Pet first aid course – This is a good thing to do so that you will be able to administer first aid if you need to and so that you will feel calmer if it comes up
• Phone number for your vet - Have your vet's contact details saved in your phone or written down and stored in your first aid kit so you don’t have to search online in the moment.
•'Out of Hours Vet' - This may be a different number and location to your usual vet. Find out these details and make a note in your phone
• Emergency contact – Think about who would be able to get to you in an emergency, do they have a key? This is someone who would just be able to support you during this

What to do if an emergency arises:

• Take a few deep breaths and try to calm yourself a little
• Assess the injuries, see how severe they are and what you think it could be. Don’t worry if you can't figure it out, you are not a vet, that’s what they are there for!
• Contact the vet either whilst assessing or straight after, explain in as much detail as you can what happened and what you can see
• Ask the vet what you should do and in what way they should travel
• Get your pet in the car/ organise transport and take to vet
• Make sure to take care of yourself, try to eat something as your adrenaline will be going and you may suddenly feel lightheaded or sick when it wears off

Of course not every incident needs a vet but it is best to be safe and if you think your pet is hurt to get them checked out.

We hope this helps, it’s horrible when your pets get hurt but hopefully this will help you prepare just in case. You will always look back and wonder if you could have done better so be kind to yourself, there's only so much you can do and it's hard to think under pressure 🥰✨

HAIRY DEER LEG 🦌
It might not be the season for hairy legs but the dogs sure do love them all year round 😆

Responsibly sourced Novel protein. Great for dogs with sensitive tummies!

Give a dog a bone 🦴

Wondering what to do with any hollow bones your dogs aren't interested in anymore? Or simply want to provide your dog with some more enrichment?

You can stuff the bones (just like Kongs etc) with things like doggy Peanut butter, fresh fruit and veg or the dogs dinner!! So many possibilities 😋

This stuffed enrichment bone was a thoroughly enjoyed Natures Menu Raw Beef Marrow Bone before and now it's been filled with some Natures menu Beef Freeflow mixed with a pasture raised egg and shell (customer gifted eggs) a lil sq**rt of salmon oil and a few up coming products 😏🤫

🐱🐈🐈‍⬛To start the celebrations for International Cat Day on 08.08.24, we thought we'd dedicate this week's blog article to Cats and Kittens and cover the topic of Food and Play Enrichment for Cats.

Enrichment activities may be well-known for dogs but it's equally important to provide them for cats too. If you're not sure what enrichment entails, it's the process of enhancing a cat's environment and daily routine to promote natural behaviours, mental stimulation, and overall well-being.

We offer suggestions, tips, and the perfect products to help you provide your much-loved cats & kittens with enrichment activities through feeding and play.

You can read the full blog article here:

Look out for a special International Cat Day Giveaway tomorrow!

After yesterday's post we thought we'd give you a healthier alternative to feeding the local ducks with bread...
Why not feed the ducks some food that's specially formulated for them instead!?

Suitable for Ducks, Geese AND Swans🦢🦆 🪿

28/07/2024

No bread please ❌

As the weather begins to get nicer and you take your kiddos to a local pond or lake to feed the ducks and geese, please keep this bit of info in mind.🙏🙏🙏

Another FYI

Feeding bread causes permanent damage to ducks and geese. They develop angel wing. They can not migrate or fly to avoid predators. PLEASE DO NOT FEED BREAD to ducks and geese. Cracked corn, corn, peas, mealworms, romaine lettuce, watermelon, grapes CUT into pieces, cantaloupe……are a few good options!

27/07/2024

Another happy customer 😋
