UPDATE: BIRD TABLE RETURNED! A huge thank you to family members of the thief, who reached out to us to apologise for his actions and then returned the table to us today. We have been touched by the number of supportive messages we’ve received since it happened. As a small business, trying to make an honest living and serve our local community, this has been a stressful experience. But it has also shown us that there are so many more good, kind, honest people in this town, who care about their community and care about doing the right thing ❤️

ORIGINAL POST: If you happen to receive a lovely bird table from this young man this Christmas, please know that he stole it from our shop. So if he claims to have saved up for your special treat, you’ll know that he is a liar as well as a scumbag thief.

Must Read!

We received notification from Amazon this week that some YuMove supplement they sold us through a third party seller some time ago is counterfeit and possibly harmful to dogs.

Both of our elderly dogs have been extremely poorly recently. Jonny in particular needed to be hospitalised for treatment and it was touch-and go for a while. To help treat his diarrhoea we’d previously given him Protexin Pro-Kolin, a probiotic paste, bought from Amazon. To add insult to injury, I’ve just heard that Amazon and eBay have been selling a counterfeit version of that, too. Both manufacturers are keen to point out that they did NOT produce the counterfeit batches.

I cannot say with certainty that the products caused the illness in our dogs, but it seems very likely to me. I’m angry Amazon don’t appear to have systems in place to prevent the potential for this. Personally I won’t be trusting them to provide supplements and similar for our dogs in future, instead I’ll go direct to the manufacturers.

If you have recently ordered any of these from Amazon (and/or eBay in the case of Pro-Kolin) please check the advice in the following links. All the info you need is there. If you’re worried about your dogs health, see a vet. (N.B. I’m not a vet and I can’t give advice on this). Please help spread the word to fellow dog lovers.

Here’s a link to the Protexin Veterinary - Pro-Kolin press release: 👇

On a brighter note, I thought you’d like to know Jonny pulled through and has made a remarkable recovery. He’s back thinking he’s still a puppy (at nearly 16)! Tish (17 years old), who was less severely affected, is also firing on all cylinders again. I’m very grateful for that.

Finally, and I don’t usually do this, a huge shout-out to our vets Taylor Vets for giving Jonny in particular the very best care, as always. Thank you, you’re wonderful people.

Take care everyone!
