I have a code for 40% off your first two boxes of Different Dog freshly cooked (frozen) dog food. NOSECC40
It’s the food I’d feed my dogs if I wasn’t feeding complete raw food. It also has compostable packaging ✔️

Beat the budget doggy food prep.
1. Pig kidney for high value treats for Uma’s eye drops (she has 6 drops a day. After about 20 months of a lot of drops, she’s still excited when I say ‘eye drop time!’
2. Veggie scrap meal addition (to go with their raw food. Carrot, cavalo nero & red cabbage in a tiny bit of coconut oil. This is nutrient laden but also helps bulk out their food with low calories, or I give it to them as a snack/treat.
It’s easy to do whilst I do my weekly food prep on a Sunday/Monday!

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month.
I see a lot of musculoskeletal discomfort and pain that could be made more comfortable with some relatively cheap & easy things (as well as recommendations from the vet):

-support their body with fresh, healthy, HYDRATED food, bone broth, bones, tendons, duck/chicken feet, trachea, which have the elements their body also needs. This should be the foundation on which any supplements and medications can be added if then needed.
-rugs on hard floors
-appropriate bed (people often have beds that are too small. Dogs need to be able to lie outstretched). Also low / orthopaedic beds if needed
-keep nails short & hair on pads short
- keep to correct weight
- no jumping in and out of cars, lift them or take some of the weight with them if they’re too big to lift, or use a ramp
-correct lifting technique, supporting the back
-see a myofascial release practitioner, to give them mobility and comfort at least, and support vet interventions.

Vet Sophie’s first aid courses are brilliant. Maybe some clients/ friends could make the Staines or Surrey venue…

Just when I thought I’d popped all the canine health and first aid classroom dates on the site, well I’ve added Nottingham and Surrey! Hopefully plenty of locations to suit pet owners and pet professionals.

Have yours brains dusted off, pens at the ready, gory sensitivity to a minimum, and questions ready! This is a full day and full on course!

If your dog turns their head and averts their eyes to the left or right, yet the rest of the body remains stationary, this is them saying, they need a break or they feel concerned. By averting their eyes with a head turn, they are communicating that they are not a threat. The dog in the photo is also doing a nose lick.

If your dog turns their head while keeping their eyes focused on a trigger, this communicates a higher level of stress or fear - you’ll see the side of their face and the whites of their eyes.

Breakfast for the littleuns. Beef complete raw food, milk kefir, raw egg white (I find it hard to get through the cartons on my own in time), raw apple, cooked broccoli stalk, cooked Kale stalks in coconut oil and some hot water to warm it up a bit from fridge temperature. Healthy, delicious and hydrating. My dogs don’t actually drink much water at all. For dinner, they had similar but with bone broth powder sprinkled on, and some water from the tin of tuna I had for lunch. It doesn’t cost me much extra to make their food varied, and hopefully great for their gut microbiome. They are always keen to eat, and clean their plates immediately.

Very excited about getting started on the OFQUAL Level 3 Diploma in Canine Nutrition!! Food is so much of a topic at all of my behaviour & training consults, from puppies to the most complex behaviour problems with the older dogs. I’dnlike to make sure I can evidence anything I say, and that I give the best advice possible. Our brains as mammals are hugely influenced by the food we eat, and so is the rest of our body, which in turn affects our mood and behaviour. I chose the course provider because nutrition is her only focus, she’s not a general canine course provider, and her holistic nature gelled with me. 😊😊😊

Now if this fact isn't a motivator for working with your dog to lose weight then I am not sure what is! 10% weight loss and that can be as effective as adding an anti-inflammatory drug daily into their regime. That is how much weight loss can ease arthritic pain!

Rainy day treat- chopping. These are a great affordable treat. They rank second in value to the stinky, wet treats. They are a bit greasy on your hands. Not perfect ingredients but not bad. You can cut them to whatever size you need. They’re often on 2 for the price of 3 offer at so I get 3kg at once.
