Did you know from the day we opened our doors we’ve offered free weight checks 🙌

We have veterinary grade scales to offer your dogs only the most accurate weight checks we can. We understand it can be stressful getting your dogs to the vets to be weighed, going through a waiting room full of people and animals. You can bring your dogs to us, with obligation to buy anything and get them checked as many times as you like.

We can get your dogs on a weight management plan suitable for their age and size.

And don’t worry, if you have a reactive or nervous dog we can always arrange for a private session and we will not have any other customers or dogs present

We’ve put together a guide to why we feed raw and what each protein and extra organ meats offer your dog.

While the list of proteins and organ meats provided here serves as a solid foundation for a nutritious diet, it’s important to recognize that there is a wide variety of additional proteins and organ meats that you can incorporate into your meals. This flexibility allows you to diversify your diet and explore new flavors and textures, which can make your meals more enjoyable and satisfying.

When considering new proteins to add, think about options such as fish, venison, and various other exotic meats like rabbit and wild boar. Each type of protein offers unique nutritional benefits and can contribute to a well-rounded diet.

However, if you are purchasing a complete meal that is already designed to be balanced and nutritious, it’s crucial to resist the temptation to keep adding extra ingredients unless they are in need of it.

These meals are meticulously crafted to ensure that they provide the right proportions of macronutrients and micronutrients for your dogs optimal health. Overloading them with additional proteins or organ meats could disrupt this balance and potentially lead to an excessive intake of certain nutrients.

But don’t forget to make sure you vary your dogs proteins and not just stick to one single protein source.

Did you know we now offer a selection of raw treats, from duck feet to venison necks 🦌

Dogs love gnawing on raw bones, and they’ve been doing it for millions of years! 🥩

But if you’re a new dog owner or new to raw feeding, it’s totally normal to feel a bit anxious at first. Dogs are naturally equipped to eat raw meat and bones, which can lead to improved digestion when compared to heavily processed kibble.

Here are a few helpful tips -

•You can feed pups on raw meaty bones from about three weeks of age.

•Meaty bones are superior. Chicken wings, duck necks, etc., are covered in meat and skin. Try to get bones where the meat/skin/gristle has not been removed.

•Large dogs can safely chew large and small bones. Small dogs can take smaller and medium bones. Medium-sized dogs (e.g. Springers or Staffies) do best on larger bones.

•Never chop bones, wings, necks or chews, even for pups. Bigger, the better.

When offering raw bones to dogs, it is crucial to prioritize your pet’s safety by selecting appropriate types of bones to prevent possible health risks.

Disclaimer: Never give your dog cooked bones, as they become brittle and can easily splinter, posing serious risks of internal injuries or choking. Always supervise your dog while they chew on bones to avoid any mishaps.

🩷 BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 🎀

This isn’t something I normally share too publicly, and certainly not on my business page. But it’s something that’s so important and apart of how this business started.

The short story was, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer the day before my youngest was born, nearly 4 years ago. It was by chance I found a lump and whilst I was told it was nothing, 18 months later I still wasn’t convinced, I went for another check and turned out it was cancer.

I have had multiple operations, chemotherapy, and other therapies and medicines along the way.

There was no reason behind me getting cancer at such a young age, there was no family history and the reality was only around 10% are found to be genetic.

Through my maternity leave/treatment I did lots of research into other known causes, most of which are found to be environmental , such as food.

Through this my interest then branched into the health of our dogs and surely the same goes for them. Whilst we as humans have evolved over the years, so have dogs. The one thing that we can be certain that neither of us have evolved to do is eat processed foods, but how do we get away from it, its thrust in our faces all the time, its convenient, and it’s usually cheap.

We are told we shouldn’t eat too many eggs, we shouldn’t eat red meat, we shouldn’t eat butter. The ultra processed foods are advertised as healthy alternatives when in reality this is not true at all!

The rise in cancer cases for dogs is going up and up and up, whilst we can control what goes into our bodies, they cannot and they rely on YOU!

Modern medicine is incredible and without it I may not be here today, but that doesn’t mean we should rely on it. We need to do more to prevent these things from happening rather than just treating them when they happen, in both humans and animals

And ladies, don’t forget to check your bo***es, early detection really does saves lives!

Should you feed raw and kibble together. The big debate between many kibble and raw feeders.

Whilst this is our opinion on it, we know others do different. We follow the facts we know and would never advise anyone to mix the two together, there are many reasons as to why.

But in the same breath we would also say, some raw is better than none at all. We just want to share the facts we know with you and let you decide.

Do you mix? Would you consider swapping that kibble for a much more nutritionally dense food such as cold pressed?
