🐔 POULTRY FEED - AS REQUESTED 😁

Many of you have asked, so here it is .... a small quantity of layers pellets, poultry corn, chick crumb and mealworms have arrived on a trial basis.

These items were stocked at the old shop without much success, however, with the new premises easier access, many of you have said it would be good to buy poultry feed and other pet items all in one place. So let's give it a try again 😁👍.

Badminton layers pellets 20kg - £12.05
Badminton poultry corn 20kg - £11.99
HJLO layers pellets 20kg - £13.50
Fancy Feeds chick crumb 5kg - £5.99
Dried mealworms 1kg - £9.99
Hen Blox £3.25 each

Poultry grit will also be arriving soon (although the courier has kept my order at Portlethen so long, they'll soon be charging me storage 🤣🙈).

🌞 I'm sure everyone is mindful of keeping their pets cool in this weather, but just a wee reminder 🤗

If the pavement is too hot for the back of your hand, it's also too hot for paws 🐾.

Remember that dog's, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and all other small pets have their own fur/feather coat on so need to be kept cool.

🤗 Here is a PDSA link with helpful summer information for large and small furry animals. 🤗

Could you tell if the pavement is safe for your dog?

(Need to watch how I phrase things on here when speaking about a dog ball as had innocent comments deleted before ha ha)

KONG have it covered when buying a new ball as obviously they need to be a suitable size for your dog so they are not a choking hazard 🤗. Small to XL are in stock.....along with a delivery of something else.....can you guess? 😁

Please read and share, please don’t scroll past!
We are appealing urgently for new animal sponsors so we can keep our amazing, unique sanctuary safe and survive the ever increasing cost of living! We know it’s affecting everyone but please, if you can, sponsor an animal with whatever is sustainable and affordable to you (sponsorship starts at £2). It makes a huge difference to the sanctuary as although it’s a small amount, it’s an amount Willows can count on in this very difficult financial climate. Willows is home to many animals, some came from loving homes but most of them were facing death, some have suffered severe neglect and even been abused before being rescued.
Every day Willows goes above and beyond to protect and provide a better life for the animals in its care and we can only do so with your help. If you, like us, believe all animals matter and deserve a peaceful life, please consider making Willows the charity you support by either, sponsoring an animal, liking and sharing our posts or by making a donation.
You can visit the sanctuary each Saturday and as well as visiting the animals, you can check out our gift shop, curiosity cave and coffee shop, nature walk and of course, see all of the animals and the Cat Hotel! It’s a great place to spend the day ❤️
If you would like to support Willows please check out the links below or see our bio for more information.

Love these gift cards. Would be amazing if could increase the number of people who gift them ❤️🤗

If you'd like to know more then pop in or ask about them when you're in shopping 🤗.

PS.....the real ones aren't that big 🤣🤣

The Pet Stop Ellon - Empowering Local Economies with the Aberdeenshire Loves Local Gift Card

Having signed up to accept the gift card and also become a local stockist, Shona, owner of The Pet Stop - Grampian in Ellon provided some very useful insight into why the scheme is crucial to keeping town centres economically active.

Shona said "The main benefits I can see are boosting the local economy and supporting the local towns by keeping gift card purchases in the Aberdeenshire area rather than benefitting large and online businesses. I decided to participate in the scheme as it’s a great opportunity for local businesses and I am passionate about shopping local, especially following COVID. In my view, the Aberdeenshire Loves Local Gift Card scheme has the potential to keep the 'shop local ethos' alive"

Shona added "becoming a gift card stockist was really easy with no problems whatsoever. It’s so simple, just hand out the card pack and advise people how to load it with the amount they would like to gift. I also tell businesses the scheme is brilliant as it keeps money in the local economy. More and more businesses could sign up, it’s really easy to do".

😁 𝑳𝑶𝑪𝑨𝑳 𝑩𝑼𝑺𝑰𝑵𝑬𝑺𝑺 𝑨𝑷𝑷𝑹𝑬𝑪𝑰𝑨𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 / 𝑺𝑯𝑶𝑼𝑻 𝑶𝑼𝑻😁

A big 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 again to John @ Fencing Solutions Tarves and Ross @ Recreate Signs and Graphics for their help today.

Not wanting my previous shop sign to go to waste (was gifted by my lovely mum & dad) these two repurposed it as a parking sign, after all, can never have too many signs 😁.

Whilst onsite, they also carried out another couple of small jobs, great to have those off the list, hugely grateful.

Great lads, easy to work with, and a brilliant job as always, thank you 😁👍.

🍦ICE CREAM FREEZER RESTOCKED 🍦

The nice weather has seen your dogs putting in increased ice cream orders 🤣. Can't say I blame them 😋.

Not to worry, Scoops are restocked (vanilla and mint flavours) along with banana and honey Frozzys frozen yoghurts.

Also, a new frozen delight has arrived. Judes packs of four ice cream bones (benefitting Battersea dogs 🤗), a delish sounding combo of 🍓 🍎 and 🍌 . Suitable for multi dog households, a doggy get together if having other four-legged friends round this weekend for a paw-tay, or even just one doggo who doesn't want to.share 🤣.
