🐮 STUFFED BEEF BLADDER STICKS
These stuffed beef bladder sticks are sourced from free range, grass fed South American cattle🐄.
These easily digestible chews are an extremely palatable treat, even for the most finicky of dogs 🐶 ! The 6” stuffed beef bladder stick can be a durable chew for small breeds and puppies, and a shorter lasting chew for dogs over 25 pounds. Each package contains three (3) stuffed beef bladder sticks.
It took Dina + Tawny about 20-25 minutes to finish these chews (Dina was on the longer side since she’s missing quite a few teeth 😉)
Pick up a pack to try at pureprimalpet.com!

🎂 Happy 7th Birthday to Pure Primal’s Dina! 🎈
Dina came to us as a foster @1.5 years ago with Greater Chicago Cavalier Rescue; the second photo is the day she arrived. She was a 5.5 year old breeder release and was in pretty dire medical condition when we got her.
We had Dina as a foster for a couple months and even though I was not at all interested in adopting a 3rd dog when we first got her, she wiggled her way into our hearts and we couldn’t let her go.
Dina has her share of medical issues; she has SM (Syringomyelia), a luxating patella and was recently diagnosed with EPI, a pancreas disorder. I knew she had SM and the luxating patella when we adopted her and part of the reason I wanted to adopt her was because I had experience with SM so I knew I could give her what she needed. The EPI was a new one for me but it’s been learning process and she’s actually doing great. She’s lost most of her beautiful coat as she’s started treatment but it’s finally starting to come in again; and she’s continued her raw diet which she of course LOVES!
Dina is the sweetest girl that doesn’t have a mean bone in her little body. It took Dina over a year to learn her name; I think she had been so malnourished due to being undiagnosed/untreated for EPI for so long that it affected her cognitive development. She recently has become more responsive when I talk to her, her energy has increased and she seems SO happy. She feels so much better, I can tell - and today, for the first time EVER, she grabbed a toy, ran off with it and played with it for a few seconds. It was so cute 🥰
Happy 7th (her 2nd with us) birthday sweet Dina! ❤️

🐦 Dried Ostrich Trachea
Keep your dog running, jumping, and playing longer with this healthy chew that is a rich source of glucosamine and chondroitin, two essential parts of maintaining joint health.
Unlike common protein sources like chicken or beef, many dogs haven’t tried ostrich, making it a perfect choice for dogs with frustrating food allergies.
Other ostrich options include Heart + Lung Mix and Jerky. Check out all of the ostrich goodies at pureprimalpet.com!

Some of my customers might know that I am heavily involved as a volunteer with Greater Chicago Cavalier Rescue; I have been volunteering with GCCR since 2009. In recent years I have become more involved and currently serve on the Board and I am also the volunteer Rescue Coordinator and Medical Coordinator. I am responsible for working with breeders and owners who would like to surrender their dogs and then I bring them into our rescue, review medical records (if any) and decide what medical care/procedures they need. I work closely with our vets and specialists and I also manage the medical care of our special needs foster dogs that might need alternative care and therapies so they can eventually be adopted. It is a ton of work but it’s so rewarding.
These 22 pups are just some of the 56 I’ve brought in over the past year for Greater Chicago Cavalier Rescue. August 5th was my 1 year anniversary as volunteer Rescue Coordinator, and we also welcomed a 3 year old breeder release that day, who was #56 - I named him Walker - he is rescue #1,028 for GCCR.
GCCR is having a 2025 calendar contest to help raise money to care for these pups - we spend an average of $850 on each dog we take into the rescue (exam, bloodwork, spay, dental, extractions, UA, f***l, chip, vax, heartworm test, deworming, etc). We recently spent over $5,000 on a life saving heart surgery for a puppy whose breeder could not afford the procedure so he was surrendered to us so we could give him the care he needs.
Please consider clicking the link below and voting for my two GCCR rescues, Tawny + Dina - each vote is only $1 and all money raised goes to help save more GCCR pups.
Voting ends September 2nd. Thank you for your support so we can continue to rescue these Cavaliers that need us 🐶❤️

Pure Primal’s Tawny 🐶 goes BANANAS for her dinner! 🤣 Why, you ask? One reason is because she LOVES her raw food 🥩, but the other reason is that she gets raw duck 🦆 egg and raw goat 🐐 milk 🥛 with her dinner.
I’m lucky to have local sources in Wisconsin to source fresh duck eggs and raw, unpasteurized goat milk, so all of our dogs get both every night. I take these same eggs and milk and gently freeze dry them, then grind them into a powder so it makes it easy and convenient for everyone to add these delicious toppers to their pets’ meals! 🐩 🐈‍⬛
I have duck 🦆, turkey 🦃 and goose 🪿 eggs as well as raw goat 🐐 milk and bovine 🐄 colostrum, all fresh from small family farms in central Wisconsin!
Check out all of these healthy toppers at pureprimalpet.com so your pet can be as excited about mealtime as Tawny! 😁
