Wishing all our friends and customers a very Merry Christmas. We can’t thank you enough for the support this year. Shopping local makes so much of a difference to a small business. We hope you all have a great Christmas. Remember a lot of our treats are very dangerous to our fur babies so be careful with chocolate, mince pies and Christmas cake. We are open till 12 today and back open 10-2 Friday. Enjoy. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

If anyone needs a Millie’s wolfheart order before Christmas please let me know before Thursday the 5th December, as they can’t guarantee delivery after this date. I will obviously have as much in as possible. I just can’t guarantee if not pre ordered. Thanks

Just a little warning regarding the Christmas treat many stores are now starting to stock for dogs at Christmas. 😉 🐶🐈🐩🐕‍🦺🐕🦮

Many of these so called treats end up with the dog "enjoying" some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas. The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulfide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.

Now comes the pretty festive colors and the glue to form cute shapes. On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.

If that wasn't bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking.
The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Leave them in the shop where they belong or if some well meaning person buys them for your dog put them safely away for later, then dispatch in the bin! Please be safe with your dogs! ❤️❤️❤️
