Get • It’s just one stat, we think it’s always best to try it out with your pup and see the results for yourself!

This study of 55 adult dogs found that raw-fed pups had:

Higher IgA & IgG antibodies (stronger gut immunity)

More intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP), which protects the gut lining

Overall better mucosal immune health

In other words, raw-fed dogs showed measurable signs of a healthier, more resilient gut.

Why does this happen? Kibble is ultra-processed and heated at extreme temperatures, destroying natural enzymes and nutrients. Raw diets provide fresh, species-appropriate proteins, natural enzymes for digestion, hydrating whole foods, and bioavailable nutrients the body recognizes.

A healthy gut means stronger immunity, better skin + coat, improved digestion, calmer behavior, and long-term vitality.

Ready to support your dog naturally?

Whether you’re new to raw or refining your dog’s diet, we’re here to guide you.

Your dog’s health starts in the bowl.

Study Finds a Link Between Atopic Dermatitis and Poor Gut Health in Dogs 🐕💢

Veterinarians used to focus only on the skin and immune system when treating this painful condition. However, new research not only shows lower gut bacterial diversity in dogs with atopic dermatitis compared to healthy dogs but also suggests that improving gut health could become an important part of managing this skin disease. 🦠🔍

Read more about the study findings in our latest article, linked below.

Dogs may not understand every word, but they do recognize the warmth in your voice. Studies have shown that the areas of a dog’s brain linked to emotion respond strongly to affectionate speech and tone.

Research from Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest found that dogs process positive intonation and words of praise in a way similar to humans — using both the left and right hemispheres of their brains. This means when you speak lovingly, your dog truly senses your affection.

So while there’s no verified “46 % heart-rate jump,” your kind words still make their tails wag — and that’s scientifically proven love.

BONFIRE NIGHT…

Don’t forget that we have some really fab BIG chews and lots of lovely hard and soft snuffle mat and licky mat treats for those of you planning ahead to keep your dogs busy on Wednesday night!

We’ve also got some really crinkly toys for them to play with, to help block out noise.

If you want to drop in for a cuppa and choose some treats, we are happy to arrange times for VIP shops today and tomorrow. If you’re struggling for ideas, we are happy to offer some ideas.

For young dogs who’ve not experienced bonfire night yet, build a positive environment and provide some tasty treats so they associate noise with good treats and feeling happy.
