I'll stay in touch too in case you need help and advice for your pet family. Hi, I’m Nic your local OSCAR Pet Foods Qualified Nutritional Advisor based in south-east Herefordshire, covering South Hereford, West Hereford, Hay-on-Wye, Ross-on-Wye, parts of Abergavenny, North Hereford and Hereford centre. I provide a free delivery service of affordable, high-quality dog food (including puppy food and
working dog food), cat food, wild bird food, small animal food, pet accessories and healthcare products. I’ve always wanted to work with animals however I followed a predictable path into an office environment, running an HR department for an Asset Finance company. After 27 years in HR and financial services, I was made redundant, which prompted a move from Surrey for my husband and I, and a search for a completely different career led me to have a pet-related business. Our pet family consists of two rescue cats, Smudge and Missy (typical naughty torties!) and Sidney, our mischievous Boston Terrier. We’ve previously had a Main C**n, Greyhound, Cairn Terrier, and another Boston Terrier. Having pets enriches our days in many ways; we get unconditional love, loyalty, companionship, joy, laughter, and gratitude for providing a simple belly-rub or tickle under the chin! A great way to reward our pets for all this is to feed a good-quality food suitable for each of their life-stages; I can help you do this by identifying the right nutritional diet, e.g. one to deal with weight management, a food intolerance, skin issues, or simply to sustain them throughout their lives.

Letting your dog cool down by going for a swim seems like the ideal way to keep them cool, but it is important to be aware of the dangers water brings.🐶🌊
Male and female can spray whether neutered or not. Spraying can be a normal behaviour but can also be a and anxiety. Some reasons for spraying can include normal territory-marking behaviour, attracting a mate during mating season, stress due to environment changes, addition of new cats in the home, or feeling threatened. 🐈
If you have any concerns about your cat spraying then contact our helpline at [email protected] 📧

Why do cats knead? 🤔
knead their owners with their claws for various reasons, and this behaviour is often associated with feelings of comfort, security, and contentment. It begins in hood when their mother’s belly to stimulate milk flow when nursing. 🐱

Why are cats obligate carnivores?🤔
are obligate carnivores and have specific nutritional needs that are met by consuming meat. They require certain nutrients such as Taurine, Arachidonic acid and Arginine only found in animal tissues and may be absent or deficient in . 🐱
If you would like further information about your cats dietary needs then please call our helpline on 0800 195 8000. 🐾

Why do cats scratch?🤔
generally scratch for 3 different reasons. They scratch with their claws by dragging them downward, either on a horizontal or vertical surface. 🐱
1) This helps to loosen and remove the outer husk of the claw revealing a sharp new surface underneath.🐾
2) Scratching also helps to exercise their muscles of the forelimbs and spine keeping the cat in good condition.🐾
3) Scratching is also used a form of marking or territorial communication. The scent and sweat glands in between the pads of the feet mix to produce a unique smell.🐾
When claws are scraped down a surface, the scent is deposited and the combination of the mark, discarded claw husks and the smell provides a strong visual and scent message to other cats.🐈
lick themselves and others for various reasons, and it's a natural behaviour that serves several purposes. When a cat licks you or another cat this can be a sign of trust or affection. They can also lick to control body temperature, to soothe painful areas, to reduce stress, to seek attention or for taste and exploration. 🐱
While licking is generally a normal and healthy behaviour, excessive licking, especially in one area, could be a sign of an underlying issue such as an allergy, skin problems, or pain. If you notice any changes in your cat's grooming habits or behaviour, contact your veterinary practice for further advice.🐾

is often described as ‘the teenage phase’, because the behaviour changes we see in dogs can be very similar to those we see in adolescent humans. You may hear people describe their as being rebellious, but they really aren’t planning a takeover, they are just dealing with the challenges of canine puberty!🐶
Read our brand new entry 'Behavioural Changes in Adolescent Dogs' for more information 🐾⬇

Dogs don’t tolerate as well as humans do. Unlike us, dogs typically rely on panting to keep themselves cool and panting is the most important way in which a dog regulates its temperature. 🥵
However, because they only have sweat glands in their feet and around their nose, they are less efficient than we are at cooling themselves down.🐶

Oscar Senstive Dog Food

Our Adult Complete Sensitive recipe is made with that in mind. This grain free dog food is formulated with hydrolysed Salmon and prebiotics for gentle digestion. When it comes to optimum nutrition it contains Biotin, Zinc chelate and Linseed to boost skin and coat health, glucosamine and Chondroitin to promote healthy joint tissues and added herbs, fruits and vegetables to support general health and wellbeing.
Interested in learning more or ordering a bag? Just send me a message! 😃🐾
My golden oldie Smudge tucking in to her Oscar Chicken with Duck - she prefers to eat from a wide, shallow, dish so that her super sensitive whiskers do not make contact with the dish and she can hear clearly whilst eating 🐱
Her Oscar food clearly is having a benefit; at 18 years old she is still an active hunter and received a clean bill of health from our vet yesterday when she had her annual health check 😍

Hi, I’m Nic your local OSCAR Pet Foods Qualified Nutritional Advisor based in south-east Herefordshire, covering South Hereford, West Hereford, Hay-on-Wye, Ross-on-Wye, parts of Abergavenny, North Hereford and Hereford centre. I provide a free delivery service of affordable, high-quality dog food (including puppy food and working dog food), cat food, wild bird food, small animal food, pet accessories and healthcare products.
I’ve always wanted to work with animals however I followed a predictable path into an office environment, running an HR department for an Asset Finance company. After 27 years in HR and financial services, I was made redundant, which prompted a move from Surrey for my husband and I, and a search for a completely different career led me to have a pet-related business.
Our pet family consists of two rescue cats, Smudge and Missy (typical naughty torties!) and Sidney, our mischievous Boston Terrier. We’ve previously had a Main C**n, Greyhound, Cairn Terrier, and another Boston Terrier.
Having pets enriches our days in many ways; we get unconditional love, loyalty, companionship, joy, laughter, and gratitude for providing a simple belly-rub or tickle under the chin! Oh, and snoring whilst lying on your lap or next to you on the sofa! A great way to reward our pets for all this is to feed a good-quality food suitable for each of their life-stages; I can help you do this by identifying the right nutritional diet, e.g. one to deal with weight management, a food intolerance, skin issues, or simply to sustain them throughout their lives.
