WHY A BALANCED RAW DIET IS ESSENTIAL?

One of the reasons why many vets are so against raw feeding is because many people try to DIY their raw feeding and miss out on the importance of balance.
For a dog to truly thrive on raw food it needs variety and the correct composition of meats including of muscle, offal and bone.

Above is just a portion of the benefits of each component and that’s without delving into each protein and which animal gives which nutrients etc

At Primal paws we ensure your dog is getting a variety of proteins in each meal while keeping the ratio of 80/10/10

we also include probiotic kefir and raw egg in your dogs diet so no need to buy extras!

if you’re set on doing everything you can for your dog we also offer our super food toppers which cover extra nutrients for your dogs that you may otherwise supplement through a powder.

And last but not least we offer a range of natural treats, so you know your dog is not only eating healthy meals but healthy snacks too!

here’s to longevity!!!

because who doesn’t want their dog to live forever? 🐶

CONVENIENCE AND HEALTH??

You’re in the right place!!

Many of us have very busy lives and barely have time to ensure we are eating healthy ourselves let alone our dogs, we have never lived in a more convenience required time which is exactly why we started this business.

I (eloise) run a busy dog grooming business along side Primal Paws along with looking after 2 dogs and 3 horses and Megan works at the hospital, is a full time mum and has 3 beautiful puppies of her own, we both fed raw but were struggling to ensure our dogs were getting variety meals, remembering to weigh everything out correctly along side remembering to go to the shop for stock, which is when we decided to start the daily bags of multi components. Although the prep time was heavy we found it SO much easier to feed and we started to realise that many people feed a single protein raw diet out of packets that are messy, leak and have no added nutrients in!
And from this single conversation Primal Paws was born!
A varied balanced diet ✔️
Easy to store and handle ✔️
0 time preparation for the owner ✔️
Delivered to your door on the day you run out ✔️
Affordable ✔️

If you too have a busy life but want the best for your pup and are fed up of the minefield of finding the perfect match for your dog’s gut we are here!

Message us today for a chat to ensure your dog lives the healthiest more fulfilled life through its belly! After all we are what we eat!

I am pleased to announce that lovely Rachel who’s been training with me this year has fled the nest! a bitter sweet time as I have loved having her with me and her patience and good vibes carried me through a very stressful time! Rachel is based in broadstone and is now ready to take on her own clients. She has been trained by me to be groomed in the same ethical way, 121, no tying up and a quiet and calm environment. Rach will only being doing part time along her fast paced high responsibility job in A&E poole so if you’re here looking for a new groomer this is your girl, her spaces won’t last for long due to limited slots! don’t walk, run! 🐾❤️

FLEAS and 🤢 BUGS !!!
over the last 3 weeks i have had numerous dogs come in with fleas, from a few fleas to a whole village of fleas!
it seems to be a very bad time for fleas and also kennel cough, sickness bugs etc. predominately due to the warm damp weather we have been having!
Please check your dogs thoroughly each evening,
groin area, armpits, base of tail is where they tend to gather. flea dirt looks like little gritty bits of dirt and when you damp them they go reddish.If you do not use any prevention, this month untill cold weather hits would be the time too!
flea collars and spot on are adequate preventatives but if your dog has fleas i would reccomend geting the tablet from your vet along with Indorex house spray for carpets bedding etc.
If your dog arrives with fleas there is a chance i will ask you to come back and collect as i have to de flea the whole room and with a tight schedule this is not always doable and i must limit the risk of fleas passing to following clients.
If i am able to do your dog, i will flea shampoo and de flea as many as i can but there will be a 5-10 pound charge for this.
ILLNESSES
If your dog is presenting any signs of being unwell please reschedule grooms, the sickness bugs around at the moment are very toxic and are hospitalising most dogs so take extra precaution on walks and letting dogs drink from puddles.
Probiotics for your dogs will limit bugs from compromising their immune systems so if you’re not feeding this i’d recommend starting!
Sorry for the miserable post but i felt i needed to spread awareness!

I just want to come on and have a tiny weeeny nag, not something I ever want to do but feel I need to.
I am currently still totally ‘over dogged’ i am trying my best to accommodate everyone but to do so I have to be very strict with my appointments.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to pre-book your following appt on the day of the groom you’ve just had. I generally sit down and do appts one day per week now and ask if you can send me the week beginning your dog is due to save me time sifting through diary, i will leave your message as ‘unread’ so you don’t get lost amongst the other messages and i can come back to your message when i sit down with diary, i am not ignoring you i am just keeping your chat open.
if I have not sent back a date and a time, your appointment is not in my diary. if you forget or miss your appointment there will be no rebooking as I have no space. the best i can do with notice is try and swap you yo other days.
I don’t charge a missed appointment fee but please don’t expect me to bend over backwards to get your dog in if you miss your appointment.
At the end of the year i will be reducing my hours again so if there is anyone who books adhoc i am afraid you will most likely not get an appointment with me from next year.
so sorry to write all this dribble but after the stresses of earlier this year i really do need to install some boundaries. i love you and your dogs so much but i need to be running this business not letting it run me!
To everyone who books ahead, pays on time, arrives on time, and is patient with me THANKYOU SO MUCH 🙏🏼💙🐶

You should not be out with your dogs in this weather. That’s the end. No exception unless you are travelling to the vets or groomers. Pavements will burn your dogs pads, cars will cook your dogs, the sand on the beach is to hot even if your dogs swim. Leave your dogs at home!!

Great advice from Bath vets

Hello all!!
As my time off comes to an end I thought I’d explain the real reason for the longest time off work I’ve ever had 😂 it was not just my 30th I was also getting married 🕊️. It’s been a very emotional, beautiful time and unforgettable memories have been made. We had a private ceremony on my birthday followed by 3 days celebrating with 60 friends and family at the beautiful Almer manor. We then left to the Lake District for the week to unwind with the doggos. It’s been a magical time and after all the stress earlier in the year I really feel renewed and full of love ❤️ looking forward to getting back to work next week even if I wish I could continue swanning around for ever 😂 messages will be replied to on Monday 🙏🏼❤️

NOTICE 📣

I will be off from 17th of July - 29th of July for my birthday. Any messages or appointments needed please message me before these dates as I will not be replying to work related texts between these dates.

It’s time to put down the scissors for some R and R.

Thankyou ❤️☀️🐾

Please ensure u are washing your dogs thoroughly after exposed to mud and wet areas.

This business has always been more than work for me. Along the way I have made so many beautiful friends that started as clients. Dante was one of my very first clients 13 years ago. Today we shared a stunning lunch together to celebrate my birthday a little early. What a treasure ❤️🙏🏼

Kevin and Cindy approved ✔️🧡

Our superfood toppers really have been a hit with all our doggos, fussy or not they all love them because all ingredients we use are naturally sweet to dogs! The best part about it is that they are so nutritionally beneficial for your dogs health, not only does your dog think you’re giving them a yummy snack you are also aiding towards their health and longevity.

❤️🧡💜

To order a bag of toppers message us today.
Collection from our unit in corfemullen.

Happy weekend everyone 🐾

Over the last few days I have been checking payments for the last month and so far found 4 non payers. PLEASE I know it’s easy to forget but please pay me on the day of your groom it is so difficult me to keep track of payments when I am doing 40-50 dogs per week! If you are forgetful then bring cash. THANKYOU 🙏🏼

These will be a fantastic add on to many of my clients dogs meals! You do not have to be raw feeding to add super food to your dogs meals 😍✨

Exciting things are coming!
On the 1st of June we will be launching our SUPERFOOD topper range.

We are so excited about these and can’t wait to share them with you and your doggos!

As you all know our main priority is to help your dogs health thrive which entails providing balanced whole food meals with absolutely zero processed foods.
As owners we often want the easiest most affordable food for our dogs but we forget by feeding your dog cheap processed food you will spend much more in vet bills over their life.
Many people eat few super foods themselves which is why we have decided to add these toppers to our services as another way of getting really high quality whole products into your dogs easily and affordably.

Your dog does not need to be on a raw diet to eat these toppers, you can add them to any meal!

Stay tuned as more details on the benefits of these will be released over the next week.

As always our only objective is to help your dogs thrive and not just survive!

Hello all 🐩
This is a very difficult message to write to all my lovely clients. I have had many reach out and ask if I’m stopping grooming after seeing the stress I’m currently under and the simple answer is no. How ever things have to change for me as at the moment I am at the brink of burn out. I have always been open and transparent with my clients which is why I intend on continuing to do so.
Currently I am totally over booked, I have amazing friends and family that come and help me where they can but this is just not sustainable for me anymore nor my mental and physical health. From June the 1st my prices will be going up to the equivalent of every other groomer in the area. I have undervalued myself for too long and after 13 years I’ve finally seen the light. I know some may chose to leave with the price increase and I totally understand this which is why it makes it even harder. I’ve always worried about affordability for my clients and in doing so I have neglected my own quality of life and financial situation. Below I will post my new prices. If you are unable to meet the prices please let me know with notice for cancelled grooms.
I will also be taking regular time off, I will accommodate where I can but if you are not booked in ahead of your appt I cannot guarantee any appointments.

•Yorkies, sh*tzus, small lhasas, Havaneese, Maltese, Toy poodle, Shnauzer £40
•Miniature poodles, Cavapoo, Toy Cockapoo, Bedlington x whippets in tidy trim £45
•Cockapoos above medium size/ thick coated in teddy trim, thick coated show cockers, £50
•Cocker spaniel shave off £45
•Small labradoodle, small standard poodle
£50-£60 subject to size and coat.

Initial puppy introductions £30 for bath, blowdry, feet bum and face tidy and nails. Before 4 months old.

Double dog discount of 5 pound off overall price.

Teeth cleans
30 for initial clean
15 for maintenance
Discount applied for those who have teeth clean on each regular groom.

Longer trims, hand scissored bodies etc will have extra charge.

Any dogs in a ‘show trim’ will be subject to the coat and time taken.

All grooms will still include full health check, ear clean, nails and glands if required inclusive of the price.

Thankyou for all your ongoing support and love and for those recognising my struggle recently and reaching out ❤️

Love and licks always 🫶
