Hopefully I'll be back in tomorrow after a day of rest and doggy cuddles 🤞🐶
I know many of you that are a little further away, struggle to get to us sometimes.
Sadly we still aren't in a position to deliver, but the lovely Jess at Sid & Lola natural pet shop is commencing deliveries in May. So for those of you further out, this may work really well for you 😊
You'll also be supporting another small business like ours ❤️

It's National Puppy Day ❤️🐶
"Founded in 2006 by the author Colleen Paige, and adopted by other groups and organisations since. The idea is to focus attention on puppies in need of adoption and the abuses found in puppy farms, but also to celebrate these furry little companions"🐾
So it's a great day to spoil your pups (more than usual )
I'll happily help with lots of cuddles and treats if you pop in today 😍
Open 10am - 4pm
See you soon 👋
🐶 Food Donations 🐶
A little plea for any spare pet food you might have hanging around at the back of a cupboard as your dog no longer (likes) eats it.
Donations will go to dogs in rescue like Dizzy was. The food helps keep rescue expenses down so money can be spent on helping them get back to full health and eventually finding forever homes ❤️
No donation too small, whatever you can spare would be greatly appreciated
I'll have a box at the shop for drop offs.
Thank you 🙏
Yeast Issues 🐾🧀
If your dog suffers from yeast issues, you'll be familiar with that wotsit like smell, itching and distress it can cause our dogs. 🐶😔
You've probably tried so many things to help clear it up, but yeast is one of the hardest things to tackle and can feel like a never ending battle. I've been there with Dizzy.
I'm pleased to share, I've ordered a new topical product that is showing amazing results from Dogs First.
It will be available in a few days, in the shop and online through either www.comfortandnourish or www.willowspantry.co.uk
I'll be trying it on Dizzy the moment it arrives and will share our progress, I think this is going to make a huge difference in our ye**ty dogs lives 🤞❤️

Did anyone lose a 💩 bag ? I know some customers will leave outside with full intention of picking up on way out but forget.
Please feel free to collect anytime.
Unfortunately we don't have any where to put lost 💩 at the shop.
Worldpay Update
With a little help from the technical department Worldpay have resolved the problem and will be correcting it from their side. Anyone who did have a reversed charge will have it debited again (unless you paid me again already) So we won't be out of pocket 🎉🎉
Thank you everyone for taking the time to check your accounts
Great news to start my weekend on 😁
PLEASE READ
Unfortunately we have been made aware by a few customers that card transactions were reversed shortly after payment was taken. (Shop only)
From our side it looks like the transaction was completed successfully so we were unaware of the problem.
Since being bought to our attention, we have looked into it further and it appears several transactions were effected between December - January.
Most reversed approx 10min after the charge.
This has resulted in over £1000 being reversed 😞 As I'm sure you can appreciate this is not money we can afford to lose.
We have raised the issue with Worldpay and I am starting to reconcile with our sales records. We will hopefully be able to identify the majority and can get in touch with those effected but it's going to take some time.
If you would be so kind to check your records and let us know so we can process again, it will save us a lot of time and stress. [email protected]
Thank you for your understanding. Please like this post so I know you are seeing it.
New Product ❤️
I'm pleased to share I managed to get one of the first batches of the new Power Paste from Dogs First.
This product is really versatile and is great if you DIY or if you don't feed raw at all and want to add some fresh to your dogs kibble meal.
Limited quantity available at the moment in the shop. I'll pop them online later today. 😁
POWER PASTE IS HERE!!
We have a new product ready folks - it's called Power Paste!
I know, awesome name, but it really does what it says on the tin.
Power Paste is a vital complementary feed that makes DIY raw-feeding a far simpler process but ALSO serving as a borderline-vital nutritional topper for kibble feeders (hence it's available in both raw AND cooked forms, hopefully bringing a few vets over to the dark side).
The idea actually came to me as one of my stockists says she weeps when they leave her shop with a sack of Royal Canin! Now, if pet shops sell a bag dry, particularly high-carb stuff, the client really NEEDS to add in a dollop of this each meal!
Then, the more I thought about it, it's the product I always wished was in the fridge when making his food. It's everything I think is pretty important.
Power Paste is choc full of all the bits we wish we had to hand when making food for them ourselves but are a bit of a pain to source or put together. It contains ALL the organs (grass-fed beef liver, heart, kidney, spleen, pancreas), fresh Atlantic sardines, some lightly steamed local veg, a number of awesome, organic power additions such as organic hedgerow items, mushrooms, pre-soaked seeds and a teeth-cleaning seaweed addition (yes, no need for any other seaweed supplement with Power Paste), even some collagen, blood and hair!
All DIYers have to do now is, for example, buy some chicken thighs, maybe add some beef meat (mince from shops, heart, tripe, etc), and you're done! Or a whole turkey, and you're done! Or some cheap lamb bits (necks, ribs, hearts, tripe) from a supplier, and you're done!
Twice as nice at half the price of a comparable pre-made (though now you KNOW your dog is getting lots of the good stuff).
Power Paste will also be handy for making a good meal from leftovers (stored in ice cube trays), making treats or even home made dry-food yourself!!!
Check out this link www.dogsfirst.ie/power-paste/ to have all your questions answered, including:
- exact ingredients and why each is used
- videos on how to use
- recipe ideas with total cost breakdown
- nutritional breakdown
Power Paste is NOT a complete raw. It's a complimentary feed, a power addition for meals. It retails around £6 per tray (a touch more for the cooked version). Yep, it costs more than most complete raws per kilo that's because it's lead ingredients are beef organs (3-4 times pricier than most other meat ingredients used in raw dog food) and all the power additions. It's not the WHOLE part of the diet, the rest of the stuff is much cheaper, this is just the nutritionally super stuff.
We (Dogs First) will not be selling individual units of Power Paste direct from our site beyond offering whole boxes of it (25 units) to the public. For now, it is available in pet shops. So far stocking it in the UK is (live links to these shops available in the piece above...):
Bark Raw - Gloucestershire
Bubbles Pet Care - Leigh on Sea, Essex (shop only, no online yet)
DoodleDales - Suffolk
Poochie Park - Leeds
Comfort & Nourish - Surrey
Paws Naturally - Kent
Rawsome Pets - Manchester
Leominster Pet Centre Ltd - Herefordshire
Petcayr - Ayrshire, Scotland
Thumpers Pet Care - Bedfordshire
Of these both Poochie Park and Doodledales have it ready for sale! For Irish customers, check out Barkin Bistro who will have it up on their site today.
Interested in stocking Power Paste? It's available for Irish/UK stores now. We are working on a US supplier to open up that market, hopefully by summer. Sign up to our wholesaler page here where you will find Power Paste and our supplements and, in 3 weeks, our incredible new yeast range! https://wholesale.dogsfirst.ie/

Following on from my post about Bally yesterday. This is a great time to start thinking about your dogs diet, no matter age, size or breed.
➡️ New furry family member
➡️ Older dog
➡️ Weight concerns (over/under)
➡️ Active dog (sporting/working)
➡️ Worried about the cost of current or new diet
🐕 A good diet can help your dog stay happy & healthy.
🤯🤔 It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed and you'll likely have lots of questions. We would love to help.
🗓️✔️ Pop in for a chat and we can guide you through different options. No obligation, and we will only ever recommend products we think will suit your dog, lifestyle and budget, even if we don't stock it.
😊 Let us take some pressure off
💜 We look forward to seeing you
Today is a special day as it's Bally's 17th Birthday 🎂
Many of you will know Bobby's story (https://comfortandnourish.com/our-story/) and how he inspired me to set up the shop, but Bally has been such a huge part of our journey too.
Like many of you, at the beginning we didn't know anything about fresh feeding. We fed kibble, not very healthy treats and when I first met Dan, Bally was about 3 kilos overweight 🙈
Not long after that she started to show signs of arthritis and was only 7yrs old.
Bobby was the main catalyst for me starting to look more closely at pet food labels and nutrition but the change in Bally was phenomenal.
Once we moved to raw, her weight dropped off, mobility improved and so much more. I strongly believe the change in her diet and overall well-being approach, has lead to a longer life.
Obviously genetics play a huge role too and being a farm dog x, she has some strong ones 🐶
Seeing the change in our dogs is the reason I always advocate for fresh food first. Of course it isn't a cure all but we know for ourselves how much of a difference wholefood can do for our health. 🥩🥦🫐🥒🍓🫑🍉
I don't have all the answers but it is our passion to help you, (wherever you are in your journey) by sharing what we've learnt, so your dogs can also lead happy, healthy, long lives ❤️
Happy New year 🎊
Thank you for sticking with us through 2023
As always we are humbled by your support and grateful to have such wonderful customers ❤️
Looking forward to seeing you all soon 😊

Remember we are closed after today until 2nd January so make sure you pop in to top up 🎅
Not long to go now 🎅 COLLECTION CUT OFF Please can you place any collection orders by midnight tonight. Friday and Saturday are going to be very busy so we want to get all online orders packed and ready for you as soon as possible. We have more stock arriving today so should be plenty of options for you all. Paleo Ridge, Naked Dog, hopefully Betsy's. Cotswold arrived yesterday I just need to update stock for you. If you are still looking for gifts, we have toys, chews, treats and some Christmas biscuits left. Remember we are closed all next week so please make sure you get enough food to last. Open today 10am - 4pm Look forward to seeing you later ⛄
A little bit of catch on our morning walk Not his best day of catch (probably my throw) but 10/10 for effort and his little happy stamp is the best 😂
Stock Updates I know the website is looking a bit bare. However we have had lots of deliveries, so I'll be updating shortly. Delivered Paleo Ridge Cotswolds Naked Dog The Dogs Butcher Poppys Picnic Natural Instinct Anco Treats JR Treats Due today Dougies Green & Wilds (toys, antlers, treats) Antos (Pizzle, Yak chews) Due next week Betsy's Raw Naturaw Different Dog 🤞 (we hope) Eden Forthglade Let me know if there is anything else you are waiting for 😊
OPEN TODAY 10AM TO 1PM 🎅 Looking forward to seeing you today for a last minute dash 😂 Still plenty of treats to keep your doglets occupied. Giant sticks, Braids, Yak Chews, Pizzle and I managed to get a few more ostrich bone 🤫 We will be open again Thursday 29th & Friday 30th. 10am to 1pm.
⚠️ Loud shooting ⚠️ The shooting range is quite loud today. If your dogs have been effected by the fireworks, I suggest leaving them at home. Even if it doesn't normally bother them, we've found with ours they become extra sensitive. Bailey is doing well but I have his favorite treats 😊 We are at the end of Shaftesbury Road in the video, so it will be much louder at the shop.
Video highlights 🎇 Don't get caught out with fireworks 😬 🐶 Lots of treats back in stock 🎃 Halloween sale weekend! More on this soon. Open today 10am to 5:30pm
A little heads up to let you know, I'm not around for consults for likely the next week. Unfortunately Bailey is very poorly so Dan is holding down the fort. He may also need to duck out now and then. This weekend is about keeping him stable until he can get a CT Monday. Please keep Bailey in your thoughts and hope for good news ❤️ Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We hope you all had a lovely long weekend and enjoyed some Jubilee celebrations. 🎉 ⏰️ We are back to normal hours this week and I'm placing orders today to get stock levels back up. As always let me know if you need anything specific or you can request a stock alert on the website. 🚚 Remember ALL deliveries are now Wednesday. So if you'd like a delivery please place your orders by midnight Tuesday (tomorrow)
If you need food/treats before the weekend, please pop in today. More treats arriving today including giant sticks and camel rolls for those that need a good distraction, especially if there are fireworks. I'll post when they arrive 🙂
Thought I'd give everyone a chuckle at my expense today 😊 A memory popped up on my personal page from 4 years ago. Didn't share it here at the time as wasn't seeing the funny side so much back then. I think enough time has past now though. 😂 Just so you all know, you are not alone when all your training goes totally out the window!
Not long now. Yay 🎉 Tomorrow is the last Saturday we are open until January. 10am - 4pm Don't panic though, we are still open all next week. Remember to get your orders in if you would like delivery before Christmas. 🎁🎅
I need your help. My sister is in urgent need of a qualified dog behaviourist to help her 11mth old puppy with severe OCD, which started a few months ago. Example of behaviour in video. This can go on for 15min at a time. It's difficult to interrupt or distract him, as he'll go straight back to it. He's been seen by a neurologist, but nothing medical can be found. Most behaviourists with the right qualifications have long waiting lists understandably. However everyday that passes his obsessions can escalate. He paces, tail chases and barks for several hours a day with limited success of stopping him when he's in this state of mind. In this heat its a worry he'll suffer heat exhaustion. Incase you are wondering, my sister and her husband work from home and he has plenty of exercise, stimulation and attention. The thinking is possibly anxiety/trigger stacking but it is clearly a severe compulsive behaviour, so needs an experienced person as soon as possible to help. Please let me know if you know someone who can help. They must have the following credentials. THANK YOU! Certified Animal Behaviourist (CCAB), a member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC), a member of the Canine and Feline Behaviour Association (CFBA) or a vet.
Remember we are closed Bank Holiday Monday. Pop in today or tomorrow if you need food before Tuesday. We have good stock levels of most products Lots of new chews have arrived. So the doglets can have a bank holiday treat 😋
