🎇 FIREWORK PREP TIPS 🎇

Is your dog prepared for fireworks? The loud noises and flashing lights of fireworks can be very frightening for your dog, but there are things you can do to minimise your dog's stress levels.

🎇Walk your dog before it gets dark and make sure they have been out to the toilet

🐶 Make sure your dog is wearing a collar with a tag that has up to date details on it. When a dog is in public, legally it should have a tag on its harness or collar with the owner’s details.

🐾 Make sure your pets microchip details are up to date, its easy to forget updating any mobile phones or your address if you have moved house recently.

🎆 Make a den – Make a safe space, like a den for your dog. This can be a crate with a blanket over the top to make it darker and feel more secure. Keep the door open so the dog can choose to go in and out as they please. Keep a favourite soft toy or blanket inside that has theirs and your smells on it to add comfort. Pick the most naturally quiet room located in the centre of your house. A room that has minimal windows to create you dog’s safe space

🐶 Keep curtains closed and tv and radio up! This will help block out any visual and sound effects from the displays. S

🐾Calming aids – There are a variety of calming aids to help your pets. These including collars, pug in diffusers, tablets, liquid drops, sprays and even waterless shampoo. These work but using a synthetic version of pheromones to help calm your pets.

🎇 If you pet shows multiply signs of stress and anxiety when fireworks are going off i.e heavy panting, pacing, unsettled and becoming destructive then we recommend speaking to your licenced vet about what prescription medication can be of help.

🐶 Enrichment - Provide natural tasty chews, stuffed kongs, licki mats etc to help keep your dog occupied whilst fireworks are being let off

We are a proud stockist of Perfect Fit Harnesses and here is why....

The area around a dog’s throat is one of the most vulnerable yet is often an overlooked part of a dog’s anatomy. Pressure from a collar and lead can restrict blood flow and neural pathways and cause or exacerbate many physical conditions including:

🐾 Eye problems caused by Intraocular eye pressure
🐾 Collapsed Trachea
🐾 Syringomyelia
🐾 Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome
🐾 Sensitive throats (e.g. after Kennel cough)
🐾 Thyroid disorder

A collar or lead can also inhibit recovery following surgery.
Pain or discomfort in any form increases arousal levels and can have a direct impact on your dog’s emotional state and therefore, their behaviour.

The modular design of interchangeable pieces means we can cater for all shapes, ages and sizes of dogs ensuring a snug, safe and comfortable fit.

Made with your dog’s health, comfort and safety in mind, the PerfectFit Harness has been designed with a ‘Y’ shaped front meaning pulling force is evenly distributed through the chest rather than the soft tissues of the neck and throat. With no straps cutting across the front legs, your dog will have full freedom of movement to enjoy the walk.

Feeling utterly heartbroken again💔 😥

We've had another break-in at our little pop-up deli at Bennetts Willow Barn

Lots of stock taken, and our shop totally trashed.

It's so hard not to take this personally, but this is our 2nd burglary in under 4 months!

We are a small independent business, just a small team of 3, these horrid thieves don't think about the consequences and how their actions can effect us personally but can have a detrimental affect on our business too!

The break-in happened some time between
Sunday late afternoon and 12.30pm today .

The police are obtaining CCTV footage from the surrounding buildings, and the forensic team are on their way.

Hopefully, we get some answers this time as we feel that it must be the same people targeting us! They came prepared this time and even brought their own bags, one which was left behind, bloody idiots!! 😳

Feeling so sad!

Kong classic dog toys are a firm favourite with us and if you haven't used one before then here is how to introduce them to this fun enrichment toy

If your dog is new to Kong then set them up to succeed!

🐾Fill loosely with their favourite treats. Rigg's favourite is diced up JR pate!
🐶Make the treats small enough so they easily fall out as your dog plays with the Kong
🐾Seal the treats inside the Kong with something tasty like liver paste or peanut butter. Or try our new Chicken paste!
🐶 Make sure the peanut butter doesn't contain xylitol!
