Today is Bubble Bath Day!

Like most dogs, Purdy loves muddy puddles and smelly water to run or swim in but absolutely hates clean water, especially the nice smelling soapy bath kind! We spend a lot of time getting mud off Purdy one way or another!

Take a look at our Mucky pup blog post for some advice on bathing your dog www.naturaldogfoodcompany.co.uk/blog/clean-happy-dog/

December 17th is National Maple Syrup Day—a sweet celebration of nature's delicious gift. But before you share the joy with your dog, here's an important reminder: maple syrup isn’t safe for dogs!

Here's why:
• Too much sugar: Even pure maple syrup contains high levels of sugar, which can upset your pup’s stomach and lead to long-term health issues like obesity and diabetes.
• Xylitol Danger: Some syrups and sugar-free substitutes contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is extremely toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. It can cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar or even liver failure.
• Processed Products: Many syrups are not 100% natural and may include preservatives or additives that aren't dog-friendly.

Instead of sharing your syrupy treats, celebrate with your pup in other ways! Try a dog-safe peanut butter lick mat, a crunchy carrot stick, or a maple-leaf-shaped dog toy.
Keep your syrup for the pancakes and your pets safe this season!

Eat a Red Apple Day is here again, one of Purdy’s favourite days of the year!

Did you know that red apples can be a delicious and heathy snack for your dog? Packed with vitamins A and C, fibre, and antioxidants. Apples are a great way to boost your dog’s health while satisfying their taste buds! Here’s why red apples are a paw-some choice:

Promotes heathy digestion: The fibre in apples helps support a healthy digestive system.

Supports strong teeth and gums: Crunching on slices of apple can help clean your dogs’ teeth (be sure to brush regularly too!).

Low-Calorie treat: Perfect for dogs watching their waistline, apples are a guilt-free snack.

Hydration hero: With their high-water content, apples help keep your dog hydrated.

Tips for serving apples to your dog:

It’s advised to remove the core and seeds.
Slice them into bite sized pieces for easy chewing.
Serve them plain, no sugar, caramel or spices needed!

Remember: While apples are a healthy treat, moderation is key. Too much fruit can upset their tummy. Always introduce new foods gradually and consult your vet if you have any concerns.

Let’s give our dogs something to wag their tails about! Who’s ready to share an apple with their best friend today?

Drop us a photo of your dog enjoying this healthy snack in the comments below!

Adopting a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences a person can have. Not only do you give a loving home to an animal in need, but you also gain a loyal companion who brings joy and warmth to your life. One key to ensuring your new family member thrives in their home is providing them with the best possible nutrition. Opting for a Natural Dog Food diet is an excellent choice, offering benefits for both your dogs health and your peace of mind.

Why adopt a dog?

Each year, millions of dogs enter shelters or rescue organisations. Many of these animals are looking for a second chance at life after being abandoned, neglected or surrendered by previous owners. By adopting, you are helping reduce over population in shelters and supporting the welfare of animals who desperately need a loving environment. Adopted dogs often show immense gratitude and form deep bonds with their owners, knowing they have been given a new lease in life.

Adoption allows you to:

• Save a life: Every adoption makes room for another animal to be rescued.

• Encourage responsible pet ownership: Supporting adoption instead of breeding discourages puppy farms and unethical breeding practices.

• Find the perfect match: Dog rescues often assess the temperament and health of their animals, making it easier to find a dog that fits your lifestyle.

Once you have brought your new addition to the family home, the next step is to ensure their health and well-being. A cornerstone of good care is a proper diet with high quality ingredients, free from additives.

Here at the Natural Dog Food Company, we our proud to say that our Original Range is completely free of artificial additives, preservatives and fillers. It is full of fresh, human grade meat, vegetables, herbs, fruits and brown rice, closely resembling the diet a dog may consume in the wild.

Benefits of a Natural Diet

• Improved digestion: Natural diets are easier on a dogs digestive system since they lack harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients.

• Healthy skin and coat: High quality proteins, vitamins and essential fatty acids in natural foods help maintain a shiny coat and healthy skin.

• Strong immune system: Nutrient rich ingredients help to boost your dogs immune system, helping prevent illnesses.

• Supports energy levels: A balanced, natural diet helps to provide sustained energy, perfect for playtime and adventures.

• Allergy conscious: the Original Range is free from wheat, maize, dairy and soya, helping to reduce the risk of food related sensitivities.

Transitioning to Natural Dog Food

Switching over to Natural Dog Food should be done gradually over a period of up to seven days. This gives your dog’s digestive system a chance to adjust to Natural Dog Food. Start by mixing a small amount of Natural Dog Food with the old food. Gradually increase the amount of the Natural Dog Food while reducing the amount of the old food, until you are feeding your dog entirely on Natural Dog Food.

Building a healthy, happy life

Adopting a dog means committing to their care for life and nutrition plays a vital role in their overall happiness. Whether you're strolling through the park, playing fetch in the backyard, or snuggling on the couch, your dog’s wagging tail will remind you that every effort is worth it.

Adopting a dog isn’t just a gift to the animal, it is a gift to yourself. Pairing this bond with a commitment to quality nutrition will help put your dog on the right track to living their best life, and yours will be all the richer for it.
