Ruby’s breakfast is served! 🐾🥣

As our resident pet shop pup, Ruby knows what it takes to stay happy, healthy, and thriving, even with food sensitivities - no more itchy ears or upset tummies since switching to a fresh diet!

Here’s what’s in her bowl this morning:

✨ Nature's Menu Turkey Mince - Packed with lean protein and essential amino acids for muscle health.
✨ Dorwest Tree Barks Powder - Helps soothe the digestive system and reduce inflammation.
✨ Dorwest Keepers Mix - A blend of herbs for overall vitality, digestion, and immune support.
✨ Bugalugs Plaque Remover - Keeps Ruby’s teeth sparkling and fresh, reducing the risk of dental issues.
✨ Whole Egg - Rich in protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins for a shiny coat and strong muscles.
✨ Joint Support - Supports healthy joints and mobility—important for our active senior girl!
✨ Blueberries - Packed with antioxidants to fight inflammation and boost her immune system.
✨ Sprats - High in omega-3s for healthy skin and a shiny coat.
✨ Dried Chicken Feet - Natural source of glucosamine for joint health and healthy digestion.
✨ Green Lipped Mussels - Great for reducing inflammation and promoting joint health.

It’s all about fresh, whole ingredients that pack a punch of nutrients and are easy on the digestive system, and although it’s slightly more expensive than a bag of dry food, it’s way cheaper than reoccurring vet visits, and her health and happiness is worth it! 🥰

Congratulations to our friends over at Woodhead Woofers for reaching 5,000 followers! That's such a monumental achievement for a local business, and just goes to show how incredible they are.

We've worked with Woodhead since the early days and can attest for their results.

Well done guys, keep up the great work!

We’ve just reached 5K followers! Thank you for your continuing support.

We could never have made it without each and every one of you. 🙏🤗🎉

Thank you all very much for every ‘like’, ‘comment’, ‘share’ and recommendation - it really is appreciated ❤️

Woodhead Woofers are also very lucky to have a great network of local pet professional businesses to collaborate with.

Running your own small business is tough even in the good times, and in recent years there has certainly been challenges.

It goes without saying, the relationships and support network around us is so important and plays a big part in ensuring our clients get the best all round service for their pets.

Getting to know individuals in local pet businesses gives us a better understanding of their experience and expertise and we are then able to share this with our clients.

We often refer one another to clients when the need arises and we can only do this when we know our valued clients needs will be met

Thank you ❤️

🤩Be a legend, not a liability!🤩

Your dog’s zoomies might be adorable, but to livestock and wildlife, they’re a disaster waiting to happen! 🐕💨 There are very real reasons why sometimes your dog has to be on a lead and close by you...with no acceptations! Sounds dramatic? Read on for more info...

💀 THE HARSH TRUTH 💀
A dog chasing or attacking livestock? Farmers are legally allowed to SHOOT. No warning. No second chances.
🐑 Up to £1,000 fines for disturbing wildlife.

🐑 LIVESTOCK WARNING SIGNS🐑
👀 Animals in fields = Keep dogs on leads
🚜 Farmer signs = Respect their land
🚷 “No dogs” = Don’t even risk it!

🚨 DEVON & CORNWALL'S GROUND-NESTING BIRDS AT RISK🚨
🐦 Skylarks – Sweet songbirds, but not if they’re scared away!
🪶 Nightjars – Masters of camouflage, until a curious pup flushes them out!
🐤 Lapwings – Their chicks freeze instead of flee—easy pickings for predators.
🦆 Dartford Warblers – A rare beauty, but one loose dog can doom a whole nest.
🌿 Meadow Pipits & Stonechats – Tiny birds, big trouble if disturbed.
🦉 Short-Eared Owls – Ground-nesting, and easily spooked!

🐕 Be a legend, not a liability! Keep your dog on a lead near livestock & areas of nesting birds. Let’s keep the farmers happy, our wildlife wild, and most importantly your dog safe.

❗WARNING TO ALL DOG OWNERS❗

Please be extremely careful when walking your dogs on the beach, as hemlock water-dropwort has been found washing up on beaches along the Cornish coast, including Sandymouth and Middle beach.

Hemlock water-dropwort is highly toxic to dogs, cats and people. It can be identified as a dark green plant with tiny white flowers in clusters, whereas hemlock roots can often be mistaken for parsnips. Eating any part of the plant can poison your pet, with the roots being highly toxic.

The most common symptoms of hemlock water-dropwort poisoning include:

> Drooling
> Weakness
> Tremors
> Fits
> Vomiting
> Diarrhoea

In severe cases, it can affect the nervous system, causing breathing difficulties, paralysis, and can be FATAL.

If you think your pet has come into contact with hemlock water-dropwort, seek veterinary care IMMEDIATELY.

We recommend keeping dogs on leads in areas where hemlock water-dropwort has potentially been identified as a precaution, and please be extra vigilant when out walking.

📢 Please share this post to alert other dog owners and let's keep our community safe.

Could you help give puuurrffect Pickle everything he needs?! 🥰🐾🐈‍⬛

📻🐾 Rewind Rehome with Cornwall's Rewind Radio! 🐾📻

Sweet little Pickle 🐾 is a shy and sensitive soul, still learning that people can be kind and loving. With a bit of patience, time, and a safe space 🏡, this gentle boy will slowly come out of his shell and reveal his sweet nature. 💕

Pickle would flourish in a calm and quiet home where he can feel secure. He’d do best in a pet-free environment, as he’s come from a multi-cat household. Sensible, cat-savvy children of secondary school age could make wonderful companions for him.

Are you ready to offer Pickle the love ❤️ and safety he needs to truly thrive? 🐾

For more information or to apply for Pickle, please click the link in our bio.

Tune in to Cornwall’s Rewind Radio at 4:15pm today to hear more about this handsome chap on their Rewind Rehome feature!

🥰🥰🥰

😍 Beautiful Bailey visited Holsworthy Pets today for a new harness! And doesn’t she look beautiful! 🥰 She was a very good girl despite her young age, and as she grows the Sports Harness can grow with her, with its adjustable straps!

🐾We always recommend a ‘Y’ front harness, (although we do have a variety in store!) ‘Y’ fronted harnesses mean no restriction or unnecessary pressure on joints, allowing them to develop and function as nature intended! This is especially important for growing pups as they develop ☺️

🐶 Did you know we offer free, no obligation harness adjustments and fittings … and we are happy to spend as long as it takes to ensure you and your beloved pooch get what’s right for you both!

Pack an order with us!

This order is off to its new home. Drop us an order at www.westcountrypets.co.uk and maybe yours will be featured in our next video!

📻🐾 Rewind Rehome with Cornwall's Rewind Radio! 🐾📻

Bolt is a gentle, sensitive soul with a truly unique personality. 🐺💕 Once he feels safe, his sweet and fun-loving nature shines, making him a loyal companion. He enjoys peaceful walks with calm canine friends and builds strong bonds with those he trusts. 🚶‍♂️🐕

He travels well 🚗, has lived in a home 🏡, and should house-train quickly. He also settles well at night when near his humans, helping him feel secure. 💤💖

Bolt needs a quiet, experienced home, ideally with Husky or similar breed experience. He’d do best without young children or small animals but may benefit from a well-matched doggy companion. 🐾

As a sensitive boy, Bolt struggles with separation anxiety and can be mouthy when stressed. 🧡 He’ll need patient adopters willing to follow a training plan with our behaviourist. To set him up for success, adopters must visit him at least three times before adoption.

For more information or to apply for Bolt, please click the link in the RSPCA Rspca Cornwall Branch bio!
