✨Problem Time✨

So here is a recent question someone came to us with in store.

We will put our thoughts on stories tomorrow… comment below what you think of this situation!! ⬇️

30/08/2024

Did you know what cartilage is naturally high in glucosamine and chondroitin? These are the two main ingredients in used in joint supplements. By feeding cartilage heavy treats such as moon bones, tracheas and feet can give dog all the benefits of a natural chew with the added boost of joint friendly ingredients.

Eliminate Sugar from All Dog and Cat Food and Treats in the UK

28/08/2024

We need your help!

Pets at Home sell them, Jollyes sell them. In fact, most pet shops and Veterinary Clinics sell pet foods and treats with sugar or sugar derivatives.

We don’t out of principle. We refuse to sell your pet anything with straight sugar in it.

We have written to our local MP to start a campaign against sugar in pet food in the United Kingdom. We have also started an online petition for the use of sugar in pet foods to be discussed in the House of Commons.
More than ever we are asking you to join us, share these posts and sign the petition.

It’s more important than ever for you to turn over your pet’s food and read the ingredients on it.

Sugar, wheat gluten, rice, barley, corn, meat and animal derivatives are damaging your pet’s health. We can’t stand still, especially whilst your vet bills are through the roof.

Help us fight this battle.

There can sometimes be some confusion about puffed treats and sometimes people raise concerns about them not being as “natural” as other treats on the table.

Yes, puffed treats do have an extra process before they are dehydrated. This allows the products to be softer and chewier rather than crunchier. Why can this be beneficial? It is designed in mind, principally for senior dogs or those with dental issues. So that they can also enjoy a natural treat without it being as taxing on the jaw and gum.

Of course, it goes without saying that it is not just for these groups and many dogs love the change in texture!

✨Fact of the Week✨

Did you know that tartaric acid is the problem component for grapes (and their dried versions!).

Tartaric acid can be found in many different fruit, but the levels in grapes are very toxic to our dogs and can lead to kidney failure!

If you think your pup has eaten them, they need to see a vet especially if showing any signs at all of toxicity such as vomiting 💔

Varying sectors have events that pivoted the way they do things. When Colgate started paying dentists to appear on their toothpaste adverts, it was revolutionary in the marketing world.

Colgate realised they had started something special. What else could they apply this do? Well, as the owner’s of “Hills” they knew using vets was the way forward.

Since then so many brands have followed suit. It is very easy to pay a vet to appear on your TV marketing campaign. These days it’s quite fashionable to have a “TV Vet” appear on your campaign.

The moral of the story is there is a reason why jobs in marketing can be extremely well paid…don’t always fall for the product someone in a nice clinical uniform is recommending…

So this is something we get questioned on a fair bit. If you have a working breed, surely they need the working dog version of the food?

There are whole brands that dedicate themselves solely to “working dogs”. But how does this affect nutrition?

Well, it doesn’t and it shouldn’t. A good food, should always be a good food that can be fed across the board. Now, depending on the dog’s activity (and this can be any breed not just a “working breed”) you may been to look at calories they intake or extra joint support for example.

Companies label food for working dogs so that they are able to sell the food exempt from VAT. The government guidelines on the rules around working dog food are where this gets interesting. Working dog food must only be fed to dogs that are working breeds, including border collies, greyhounds retrievers and spaniels. However, to qualify for the food, being a working breed isn’t enough, they must also be worked. So a greyhound may eat the working dog food if currently being used for racing, but not if they are retired. As to who is policing this….well…no one.

The point is to buy food for food, not what’s on the front of the packet.

So here is a recent issue someone came to us with in store. So many people ask us our opinion of the food they feed.

Would you feed this food to your dog?

✨Carb Content✨

It is completely unacceptable that an industry standard is completely inappropriate for the pets they are supposed to be supporting.

Most of the top reasons for vet visits can be directly linked to long term feeding of inappropriate foods.

How can we change this?

By buying better we can show companies that we are not happy to accept their industry standard!

Let’s be the change our pets need us to be 🫶

20/04/2024

✨Feeding Bone✨

Adding bone to your dog’s diet is one of the best things you can do to help your dog’s dental health.

Bone treats are crunchy and abrasive, really helping to get in there and keep teeth clean.

Do you give your dog bone treats?

13/04/2024

Have you fallen for these marketing terms before thinking you were buying the best for your dog?

01/03/2024

✨Fact Time✨

Can certain carbs be beneficial in certain circumstances? Yes.

Are all forms of carbohydrates bad? No.

Do a LOT of pet food manufacturers stuff their foods with high glycemic carbs unnecessarily? Yes 🙃

Do you know the carb content of the food you’re feeding?

Hill’s Science gets sued for allegedly influencing the FDA into linking DCM with grain free foods. Just for context: no link has been found between grain free foods and dilated cardiomyopathy. Hill’s doesn’t seem concerned about the quality of their ingredients though, and carries on including sugar, barley, wheat gluten, animal fats and meat and animal derivatives, among other vague ingredients. Vets should not recommend bad ingredients. The lawsuit alleges that Hill’s orchestrated the reporting of DCM cases to the FDA using a network of veterinary researchers funded by Hill’s, including scientists at Tufts University. The alleged motivation was to undermine public trust in other pet food brands, including KetoNaturals, which is marketed as low-carbohydrate kibble. This conspiracy was allegedly intended to improve Hill’s sales and reverse the erosion of its market share by smaller pet food companies. #hills #hillssciencediet #veterinario #veterinarian
