Paws Naturally

Paws Naturally Our philosophy is to sell ethically sourced, healthy animal products, to improve the diets of dogs. He improved in so many ways. And his behaviour improved.
(22)

The idea to start Paws Naturally was conceived in February 2016. However it had probably been germinating for several years up to then. Lyn Thompson has been training and conducting research in Dog Nutrition and Dog Psychology for a few years. This all started when her beloved Golden Retriever – Barney – was having some minor behavioural problems. After trying various solutions, Lyn contacted Nikk

i Brown of Canine Angel. Nikki, “The UK Natural Dog Whisperer”, quickly recommended a change of diet. Like many dogs, Barney had been fed a diet of kibble (the bagged biscuit food), as that was the “norm”. After a brief “conversion process” Barney changed to a raw fed diet – and the change was remarkable. He looked healthier, his eyes sparkled, he became fitter and stronger, his coat shone. As for meal times, Barney was ecstatic. No longer faced with a bowl of the same old boring lumps of dried food, each meal was different – a challenge of different tastes and textures. He now loves meal times. So – Lyn was amazed and wanted to find out more about dog nutrition. She has since spent countless hours engaged in research on the subject. She has trained under Nikki Brown at Canine Angel (completing several courses over the last two years), to learn more about the psychology of dogs and the interaction between dog and owner and its environment. She has attended international conferences on dog nutrition and gained knowledge from the leading world experts. In the mean time she has steadily preached the word of good dog nutrition. She has converted many of her dog walking friends and acquaintances to raw feeding – resulting in happier dogs and owners. But how could she spread the word more quickly and widely. The answer was to start a business and open a shop – Paws Naturally. So, Paws Naturally was born. A beautiful shop was created on Royal Parade in Chislehurst Kent, and a web site was launched. Please explore further on our web site and why not try to visit the shop, where you can meet Lyn and she will be happy to chat about your dog (or cat) – and offer you all the help and advice you need. She knows a lot – but if she cannot help you straight away she will be more than happy to use her research sources and contacts to find an answer for you. Lyn’s mission in life is to CREATE healthier pets. Healthy Pet = Happy Pet = Happy Owner. She has seen the improvement in Barney and the extra joy he now brings to her – so why not let her share that knowledge with you.

🎇Be Firework Ready!🎇

Whilst the Festival of Lights and bonfire night is filled with magnificent loud booms, skies filled with beautiful lights and that smoky bonfire smell that makes our humans hearts glow and buzz with excitement, unfortunately the same can’t be said for the majority of our furry family members. Most of the time for them, it’s a night filled with odd smells, loud noises, anxiety, sheer terror and utter panic! In fact, sadly, these days it actually lasts for many nights and even weeks, as people try to re-create WW2 in their back gardens.

We here at Paws Naturally have put together a small blog to help guide you and your fluffy loved ones through this season!

🎇Things to prepare in advance:

There are several things you can do to help your cat or dog adapt and prepare on the run up to the main event/s. Ideally you need to start now, allowing them a few weeks to begin working for maxium effect

✨ Natural remedies such as Skullcap & Valerian tablets by Dorwest and plug ins like Pet Remedy should be introduced from now. These help to relax your cat or dog, reducing anxiety and fear without causing drowsiness.

✨Get them used to the sounds of fireworks and other loud noises with the sounds from a whole host of YouTube videos or even on your Alexa or Google gadgets. By desensitising them, the night/s noises shouldn’t be as unknown or terrifying.

✨For the next few weeks change up their walking routine especially if they are usually walked in the evening. This will allow time for change so the walks around these events won’t seem to out of sorts and should hopefully cause less stress.

✨ Introduce a safe space or a den if you haven’t one already. If you don’t have a crate, under a bed or a table with a sheet propped over it is a good idea. Begin to use this area positively by adding treats and allowing them to retreat there as and when needed without interruption.

✨ Practice the scarf or bandage wrap. It is said that the wrap helps the dog feel secure, by the pressure applied to the dog’s torso which is said to have a calming effect - see the comment section for a guide.

✨ Now is a great time to make sure your home and garden is escape proof should they they become spooked and bolt. It’s also a good idea to ensure that all microchip details are up to date too!

✨Ask your neighbours to be considerate if they are having a celebration at home. It may seem like an odd request but if you explain the situation most people would be happy to let you know when they are going to begin and to try and go as far back from the house as possible allowing you time to get your dog to their safe space and turn up some mellowing music for calm and comfort.

✨ There are other supplements & homeopathic remedies to buy in advance which will be listed below ready for the night.

🎇 Things to do on the night itself:

So now we have some ideas on how to prepare all we need to do is think about how to be ready for the night itself.

✨On the days when events are taking place it would be best to walk your dog as early in the day as possible and definitely before dark. If you live in a flat and pup needs a toilet break make sure they have a harness or a lead (even both) so they can’t slip through, along with a collar and tag with your details. It’s best not to let your cat out at all on these days in case they don’t come home in time and are stuck scared somewhere away from home.


✨Raw Meaty Bone or chews ….. yes really! By chewing, both cats and dogs release endorphins which will help to alleviate stress this is also fantastic enrichment to keep them occupied whilst in their den or safe space. You could also add in a few other games and even a lickimat with some gorgeous JR pate smothered over it.


✨ Pop on their wrap as shown and sit with them, or nearby, but try not to make a fuss. Animals are intuitive beings and they pick up on our stress and this is when they then begin to worry too.


✨Remember those supplements we were talking about? Well there are some that can be used in conjunction with the Skullcap & Valerian and Pet Remedy throughout the day. These include Valerian Compound, Calming Tinture, Helios SOS and Calm X, to name but a few. We can guide you on how to use these – just contact us for assistance.


We also stock homeopathic remedies which can be used, such as Aconite 30c (for fear, truma and stress), Phosphorus 30c (for the noise) and Borax 6c, which works wonders in thunderstorms, so in theory it should also work for other loud bangs.

Give us a call in plenty of time so we can work out what would best work for your pet, and we can ensure it’s with you in time.


✨Pop on a calming dog music station to drown out loud noises. This soft mellow music, can be found on Alexa, Google or YouTube.


✨ Last but not least, please, we implore you, think of other small animals and wildlife if you too are having a celebration. Check the bonfire or trees surrounding you for anything that may be hiding scared animals of any kind.


🎇At Paws Naturally we are always here to help guide you, so please feel free at anytime to contact us about individual needs - and of course, if you also have any tips or tricks of your own for this time, please share below. 🧡🐾

🌿 Natural Flea Prevention: A Safer Choice 🐾

When it comes to keeping our pets free from pesky fleas, choosing the right preventive method is crucial. That’s why many pet owners are turning to natural flea prevention over chemical alternatives. Here are just a few reasons why natural methods rule:

🐾Natural flea prevention methods are safer for our furry friends and us alike as chemical based products often contain pesticides that can be harmful to us both. Opting for natural alternatives reduces the risk of toxic exposure and potential health hazards.

🐾Gentle on the Skin - We have all seen the pictures on social media. Chemical flea products are renowned for causing skin irritations and discomfort. With natural flea prevention, we can rely on gentle natural ingredients that are less likely to cause adverse reactions.

🐾 By opting for a natural option we are being kind to the environment as the chemicals used in conventional flea products can have a detrimental impact on the environment, polluting our waterways and harming wildlife.

🐾Natural remedies often offer additional health perks for our pets. Essential oils and herbal remedies used in natural flea prevention can promote healthy skin, a shiny coat, and even repel other pests like mosquitoes so it a a win-win!

🐾While chemical products may seem cheaper initially, they often require frequent reapplications and subsequent purchases. Natural methods, such as All Natural Pet. Flea Away provide ongoing protection without breaking the bank

By prioritize our pets safety and well-being by using the power of natural flea prevention, we can create a happier, healthier, and flea-free environment for our pets! 🌱

⚠️ NEW IN ⚠️

Propythium is a unique, patented solution to help with yeast infections in dogs, cats and horses. When applied to problem areas, it consumes any problem yeasts or fungi in the area for sustenance, relieving your animal of the itchy, irritating symptoms.

The effervescent tablet is added to a water spray (or bath) and applied to skin, hair, feet including claws or hooves. Within days there should be a reduction in symptoms and the skin should begin to clear up.

The key, patented component of this product is a harmless little microscopic algae called Pythium oligandum. It normally lives in the soil where it works via mycoparasitism, consuming other fungi and yeast for survival.

Available both in store and online.

It also has an antibacterial effect in the area while it is present. Once it has eaten all the fungi/yeast present it encapsulates and returns to the earth where it came from.

🐾🐶 Is Your Dog Wearing the Right Harness Shape? 🐕

Choosing the right harness for your dog is crucial for their comfort, safety, and overall well-being. While there are many options available, the Y-shaped harness stands out for its ability to distribute pressure evenly across the chest, avoiding strain on the neck and shoulders. This design allows for unrestricted movement, which is particularly important for active dogs who love to explore.

For breeds prone to syringomyelia (SM) and Chiari Malformation (CM), such as brachycephalic breeds like the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, the choice of harness becomes even more critical. These conditions are characterized by abnormalities in the skull and spine, leading to neurological issues and discomfort. Using a Y-shaped harness helps reduce the risk of exacerbating these conditions by minimizing pressure on sensitive areas.

By investing in a Y-shaped harness, pet owners can provide their furry companions with the freedom to move comfortably while safeguarding their health, especially for breeds vulnerable to specific conditions like SM and CM. Making informed choices about pet gear demonstrates a commitment to their well-being, ensuring they can enjoy life to the fullest!

🧠📚To see which harness is right for your dog along with pictures and videos of how different harnesses can restrict movement take a look at our latest article!
