Does this medication look familiar? If so, then you might own a working gundog!

These eye drops have been prescribed for our Gnasher, who has unfortunately developed a corneal ulcer. Corneal ulcers are fairly common in gundogs, especially spaniels, and often occur as a consequence of a scratch to the surface of the eye. Luckily for Gnasher, his ulcer only appears to be superficial, and hopefully, a few days of medication will see him right.

If you suspect your dog has an eye injury initially keep it moist, by regular rinsing with sterile saline, and contact your vet for further advice. Eye injuries are painful and can get worse very quickly if left untreated.

Here's hoping our Gnasher will be back to his usual 100mph self very soon!🐾

After a short but bravely fought illness, we say goodbye to our Wilma. If you met her, you will know she was a diamond, a dream dog....just simply the best.
We are obviously heartbroken, and I know she touched the heart of many. So lucky to have called her ours.x

I will ge attending a very interesting seminar at Pedwar Pawen Dogtrainingclub Mostyn this Saturday. It's open to everyone, not just club members. Let me know if you're going, be good to see you there👍

This popular seminar is a wide-ranging mix of legal issues that are important to dog owners, including responsibilities when buying and selling dogs, liability (both civil and criminal) for dogs that harm people and animals and much more.

Are apples poisonous for dogs?
Well, it's another yes and no answer!

A bit of apple is fine. and no, they won't get cyanide poisoning from eating the pips... unless they eat hundreds, that is! But....

If they help themselves to windfall apples, as nicely demonstrated by our very own Gnasher in the photo🙈, there are some potential problems:
*Gastroenteritis from excess sugars and fibre.
*Ethanol poisoning if the fruit is fermenting.
*Tremorgenic mycotoxin poisoning if the fruit is mouldy

Signs of poisoning include vomiting, diarrhoea, thirst, hypersalivation, and depression. More serious symptoms could include disorientation, tremors, seizures, respiratory problems, and even coma.

If you are worried about potential poisoning, you should contact your vet for advice.

To learn more about dogs and poisoning, join us on one of our Canine first aid courses held across North Wales this autumn.

Here at Gwen's Choice, we know that every dog and owner combination is unique. That's why if you're thinking of switching over from another brand or trying a different recipe within our range, we are always happy to discuss and offer tailored advice for you and your dog.

If you know us you will know, we don't go for the hard sell, just honest advice. Available via all the usual communication channels... even an old-fashioned chat on the phone!

If you support our business, then you are not only likely to care about what you feed your dog and where it comes from, but also apply the same principles when sourcing your own food! If you're looking for fresh organic veg, including some locally grown, look no further than Smithy farm ...highly recommended, especially by the human team here at Gwen's Choice 👍

We had a fab day at the Denbigh and Flint Agricultural Show 2024
It was great to catch up with so many of you... in fact too busy talking to take many photos of the day! Here's some lovely comments from one of our lovely customers that visited our stand....

It was great to visit the Denbigh and Flintshire show yesterday. It's something I haven't done for probably 40 years and it's lovely to see how much it is still the heart of the community it's been part of for 160 years!

Lots of happy people catching up with friends and family and lots of stands full of people too.

One of the stands I popped into was Gwen's Choice, a lovely local dog food company that we use for Skye and Izzy. We switched them to Gwen's food a few months ago, and they are absolutely loving it. I've never seen them eat their kibble as quickly as they do—those puzzle bowls are essential! Their coats are still super bright and certainly have the energy we expect from two young working cockers.

It's great to be able to support a local family-run business, a fellow member of the pet community and lovely lady too :)
