Frank & Murphy Healthy Pet Foods

Frank & Murphy Healthy Pet Foods A Business founded by Dog owners that has evolved from Pet Care into Pet Nutrition. It couldn't be found so we created our own... Our Promise!
(8)

Our Pet Food story came about through trying to find the most healthy and nutritious food for our dog, Frank. Here at F&M's we aim to provide a friendly, dedicated service, walking, and taking care of your pets. Tailored dog walking is what we pride ourselves on. Everyone knows the saying 'a tired dog, is a happy dog'. Once your furry friend has been out on his/her treks with us and our groups. I

can assure, they will return very happy! We collect and return your pet (washed off, and towel dried on those mucky days) whilst you're at home, or with your permission let ourselves in and follow any requirements necessary. Prices


Group Walks

1 hour £10 (£5 per extra pet from same address)

For the more energetic dogs
2 hour £15 (£10 per extra pet from same address)


Lead walks
45 mins £10 (£5 per extra pet from same address)


Solo Walks

We also offer our Early Riser Walk. This is where we would come between 06:30-07:00 to collect the 'furry one', whilst the rest off the family get on preparing for the day ahead.
1 hr £10 (£5 per extra pet from same address
* Limited spaces



If you happen to be away from home, we can come around to feed dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc.
*with this service, we don't mind putting bins out, or watering the plants. Price £3 per visit



Our Pet Taxi is available upon request. We only ever take out dogs that i'm walking at that time, therefore no animal will be left unattended, unless I'm dropping off or collecting from other clients.

Another happy pooch, hearing how Cookie has been enjoying our food really made my day! Cheers Michelle Higgins

A very important ingredient in our foods, not only for its anti-toxin benefits, but it also helps with blood circulation, joint pain, digestion, as well as being an anti-inflammatory. Root ginger is also added for its equally beneficial attributes.

'I've Never Seen her eat anything with as much enthusiasm'

A comment from one of our recent new customers, her precious pooch has always been something of a fussy eater, picked a bit, left a bit, generally wasn't too fussed about her meal times.

Now Clare just assumed her dog was different, just a bit parky with food...

Since offering our food to a wider audience than our own dogs! We're quite surprised to learn that this is not uncommon.

We know most pets respond well to our food, our own can't get enough of it! but it's really encouraging to hear that fussy eaters are also enjoying their meals with new gusto too..

If you don't know already, we offer a hugely Nutritious hand prepared, pre packaged fresh pet food. We'd love to add your Pet to our local Story....

What is it?

✅ It's a lovingly created recipe, initially prepared for our own Pets (They Still enjoy it every day).

✅ It's Packed FULL with entirely Natural ingredients, Vegetables, Proteins and essential oils & herbs.

✅ Offered for YOUR convenience in various pouch sizes that cater to your own Pet's needs.

✅ Cooked Fresh and then Frozen into Slim Freezer Friendly pouches = Long Shelf life & keeping plenty space for your Ben & Jerry's!!

What are we looking to do next?

Well, it's been quite the journey as many of you will already know. The business was essentially Dog walking, with a bit of food to our clients that were interested.

Now, it's completely flipped on its head......

We cook several times a week to service a growing number of grateful local pets.

The Next step --->>>

We are moving toward a structured weekly number of pets to feed, and we have capacity to add some more clients in Washington, Chester le Street & close surrounding areas.

[We have customers in other areas too, please message if you are interested but not in either mentioned town]

Eventually we will move to an automatic weekly subscription making it even more simple for you & Your Pet. Watch this space!!

FOR NOW --- We would like to add some more pets into our Washington & Chester le Street Rounds, so if you are interested please drop us a message here, or an email to ⬇️

[email protected]

Prices are from only £3.99 per Kg, but we will have a chat with you and based on our experience we will create a weekly package that best suits your own needs.

FREE SAMPLES.....?

✅✅✅Yes, we can offer you the opportunity to try a free sample, all we ask is you cover the cost in getting it to you. [ We will give you 3 days supply to try. Well, it's meant for your Pet, but we've all had a try ourselves too! 🙂 ]

If your pet tries it and doesn't take positively to our food, then just let us know and we will cancel your next order.

So What have you got to lose right?!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon... Message via the button....

P.S. We are growing, but have Limited Capacity so our offer is of limited number, therefore it'll be on a first come first served basis.

P.P.S. We will ask our Current clients to give us some feedback, so we will drop more testimonials as they come in. If you are one of our Current Clients [Thank you for your continued support, we really appreciate it] Please feel free to PM me with a few words about our food.

Every time a pet is given a booster vaccine, without first checking the immunity status of that pet, malpractice has occurred.

If a pet has immunity, easily proven by a simple affordable blood test, there is no medical benefit to a booster vaccine. However that vaccine can sicken the pet, or worse kill it.

I think we all get it! 😁😁

JUST A DOG
From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog,”
or “that’s a lot of money for just a dog.”

They don’t understand the distance travelled, the time spent,
or the costs involved for “just a dog.”

Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog.”

Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog,”
but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by
“just a dog,” and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch
of “just a dog” gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it’s “just a dog,” then you probably understand
phrases like “just a friend,” “just a sunrise,” or “just a promise.”

“Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship,
trust, and pure unbridled joy.

“Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience
that make me a better person.

Because of “just a dog” I will rise early, take long walks and look
longingly to the future.

So for me and folks like me, it’s not “just a dog”
but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future,
the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

“Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me and diverts my thoughts
away from myself and the worries of the day.

I hope that someday they can understand that its’ not “just a dog”
but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being
“just a man” or “just a woman.”

So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog,”
just smile, because they “just don’t understand.”

“Over the last hundred years we have manipulated so many aspects of a dogs’ wellbeing that many dogs are no longer well, and yet they remain our faithful companions. We have the ability to shift health in an amazing direction by asking better questions about genetics and making better lifestyle decisions, including what we put in the bowl on a daily basis.”

WANT TO KNOW WHY THE LOW-COST, NUTRIENT-PACKED "SARDINE" IS A MUST ADD TO YOUR PET'S DIET PLAN? THEN CHECK OUT THE "TOP 10" REASONS WHY!

If you're like me, you’re always searching for an herb or whole food add that will help extend the life of your furry BFF.

But if I told you one of these treasures was a small, salt-water, soft-boned, oil-rich, silvery fish that smells worse than most grandparents’ feet, would you still try it out?

Hailed as one of the richest sources of omega-3, vitamin D and vitamin B-12 (to name a few), this whole food addition (which got its name from the Italian island of Sardinia) is called the sardine!

I can hear the groaning now... "Sardines look and smell gross!” most of you are probably saying.

True, but if you check out my top 10 reasons why you should ignore the smell and fall in love, you won't regret it AND your pet will love you for it!

Check out these 10 awesome reasons as to why this is a must-add:

1.) PROTEIN PACKED

Your carnivorous dog and cat need protein for proper muscle and connective tissue development. Protein provides structure for skin, hair, joints, bones and nails to name a few! Sardines and fish, which are considered a high quality protein, are full of the essential amino acids your pets cannot produce and need from this type food.

2.) JOINT AND BONE SUPPORT

Sardines are not only one of the most concentrated sources of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA for joint health, but they are packed with a rich source of bone-building and bone strengthening vitamin D!

3.) HEART HEALTH

Sardines are an excellent source of vitamin B12, which promotes an overall cardiovascular well-being. Now tie in the DHA and EPA that are also found in the sardine and you have a cocktail of awesomeness aiding in heart health!

4.) BEATS UP ON CANCER

Studies have shown that omega-3s found in the sardine can inhibit the formation of tumours and prevent cancer from metastasizing. They do this by inducing a process in cancer cells called apoptosis. Today, science is also showing that an ample source of vitamin D, from the sardine, may turn out to play an important role in the prevention of certain types of cancer as well.

5.) BRAIN HEALTH

Studies in people show that supplementing with DHA (found in sardines), is beneficial in supporting cognitive health in aging brains. A study on beagle puppies found DHA improved cognitive learning and motor skills during the developmental stages. Therefore, sardines help sharpen your pet's learning abilities, memory, eye function and psychomotor skills.

6.) HELPS RELIEVE ALLERGIES

Research suggests that supplementing with fatty acids found in sardines, is useful in preventing atopy (allergies to inhaled substances such as pollens and molds) from developing in young animals. Also, because of the incredible anti-inflammatory properties that the sardines carry, they are a great add to help reduce the chronic redness and inflamed skin some pets experience from these allergies.

7.) CAN HELP YOUR PET LOSE WEIGHT

The rich source of omega-3s found in the sardine can activate a type of protein that turns on fat-burning genes in your pet's body! Used correctly, they can help slim down pudgy pets.

8.) POSITIVE EFFECTS AGAINST SEIZING PETS

Research shows that the omega, packed in the sardine, contains potent anti-inflammatory properties that fight the inflammation mediators in epileptic patients while increasing seizure thresholds, in other words, helping to suppress attacks.

9.) KIDNEY SUPPORT

A study on dogs found that while omega 6 supplementation accelerated the decline in kidney function of early stages of kidney disease, supplementing with omega-3 had protective effects. In human studies, it was found that people with long-term use of fish oil, like the oil found in sardines, slowed the loss of kidney function!

10.) MOOD IMPROVER AND ANTI-DEPRESSANT

EPA and DHA found in sardines, according to research, can also improve mood. EPA from marine sources like sardines can decrease cytokines associated with depression.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TOXINS FOUND IN TODAY'S FISH SUPPLY? AREN'T SARDINES POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS?

You see, sardines are a short lived fish. Therefore they don't have a lot of time to accumulate a ton of toxins from the water. They are at the bottom of the aquatic food chain as well, meaning they only feast on plankton. So they don't concentrate heavy metals, such as mercury, and contaminants as do other fish.

OK, NOW FOR THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION: HOW MUCH SARDINE SHOULD YOU FEED TO YOUR PET?

Let's go to expert and pet food formulator, Steve Brown, for this one shall we?

"The best canned sardines for dogs (and cats) are those in water with no salt added. Avoid sardines packed in soy, corn, sunflower, safflower, or other omega-6 rich oils.

Use the entire can of sardines within two days after opening it, and refrigerate the open can, so that the fragile fats do not go rancid.

Don’t overdo it! EPA and DHA, like most nutrients, provide wonderful health benefits in small amounts, and are detrimental in excess amounts or without sufficient antioxidant protection.

Here are my sardine recommendations for adult dogs.

Feed twice this much to puppies and pregnant or lactating females.

Dog’s Weight 3.75-oz can sardines
5 lbs 1/4 can per week
15 lbs 1/2 can per week
25 lbs 5/8 can per week
50 lbs 1 can per week
100 lbs 1 3/4 cans per week

A 3.75-ounce can of sardines has about 200 calories, so reduce the amount of dry food given on “sardine days” accordingly. Rule of thumb: One can of sardines in water has about the same number of calories as ½ cup of most dog foods.

For cats, no more than a 1/4 to maximum 1/2 a week.

Remember to always check with your veterinarian for specific doses, and always practice variation, moderation and balance when introducing new foods to your pets.

So go grab a clothes pin, plug your nose, and add some aquatic love to your pet's bowls. Most will love you for it!

WANT TO HELP YOUR DOG🐶 LIVE LONGER? ADD BROCCOLI🥦 TO THEIR DIET!

Several studies show the sulforaphane found in broccoli destroys cancer cells and/or damaged cells in dogs. This process alone will help extend their lives!

Whether you chop it raw, ferment it, steam it or boil it, start by adding a 1/4 teaspoon🥄 per 10lbs of body weight mixed in their bowl.

Feed your carnivores🐕 some broccoli, my fellow pet parents, and here’s to your pet’s health!
