To kick us off this week:

Meadowsweet 🌿

If your looking for a natural way to improve your horse's digestion and overall health? Look no further than Meadowsweet which has numerous health benefits:

1. Digestive Support: Meadowsweet can help to soothe and support the digestive system, aiding in the prevention of digestive issues such as bloating, gas, and colic. Helps maintain a healthy pH balance reduce gastric mucosa inflammation, and help heal ulcers. It can also help firm up loose droppings and soothe the stomach.

2. Anti-inflammatory Properties: Meadowsweet contains natural anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract and joints, making it a beneficial supplement for those with arthritis or other inflammatory conditions.

3. Relief: Meadowsweet has analgesic properties that can help relieve pain and discomfort. It contains small amounts of salicylic acid, the active ingredient in aspirin that reduces pain and inflammation.
Meadowsweet has been known to be a great herb for pain relief without the side effects.

4. Calming Effects: Meadowsweet can have a calming effect, reducing stress and anxiety, which can be particularly beneficial for those that are prone to nervousness or tension.

5. Immune Support: Meadowsweet contains antioxidants and other immune-boosting compounds that can help support overall health and immunity, making them less susceptible to illness and infections.

Overall, meadowsweet is a versatile and natural supplement that can help improve the health and well-being of your equine in a variety of ways.

Calling all pet and animal lovers!

As pet owners ourselves we know firsthand that the bond between you and your furry, feathered, or scaled friends is a unique one, filled with love and care and we know the joy and sometimes the challenges pet ownership brings! ❤️

In the spirit of celebrating our beloved pets, we wanted to share some pics of our own four-legged friends (some no longer with us 😔 but who still hold a special place in our hearts).

Now, we want to see all your precious pets and animals too! Share your favorite photos and introduce them in the comments below so we can all get to know the amazing animals behind the person.

New rules mean all poultry keepers and captive bird keepers must register!

Many of our customers are bird keepers and may already know this , but for those who are not aware we thought we would update you on Defra's announcement that all birdkeepers, regardless of the size of their flock, will be required to officially register their birds even if they own just a few birds in a backyard flock.

The threshold for mandatory registration will be reduced from 50 birds to 1, which means all poultry and captive bird keepers will be legally required to register their birds.

The requirement for all poultry keepers to register will come into force in autumn 2024, with the requirement for an annual review to be introduced 12 months later

Is this a good thing or not 🤔
Will it discourage people from keeping poultry or other birds 🤔
Is it just another way to keep tabs on the small folk 🤔
