LOST - SOCKS is missing again from her home in Hermitage Road, Poole (BH14). Last seen the week beginning 26/02. It's not unusual for her to wander for a few days but she would normally come home by now. It's possible she has found a 2nd home, but owner would like to know shes ok. She's 11 years old, spayed and microchipped and was wearing a brightly coloured collar when she was last seen. She suffers from a skin allergy and has flare ups from time to time, particularly around her back legs. She squeaks rather than meows.

DOGS must now be kept on beaches and open areas in the Dorset Council area, senior councillors have decided.

Got to be the best way

Here’s a few reasons why you should ditch the dry, TODAY..

🥩 Dogs are biologically, born scavenger carnivores. They have hinged, powerful jaws along with canines and triangular shaped carnassial teeth for the ripping and tearing of flesh and crushing of bone.

💦 Dry dog food only has a moisture content of 10%. Feeding a BARF diet will contain an average of 70% moisture content. So a BARF fed dog will get the majority of their daily water intake from their diet. This ensures optimal hydration!

🦷 Offering your dog a raw diet has the potential to reduce the number of bacteria which are present in its mouth, keep plaque levels low, and freshen its breath. Feeding appropriate bones to your dog also acts as natures toothbrush, helping to remove plaque and keep the gum line healthy.

🐕 Processed dry dog food, contains added synthetic vitamins and minerals, which your dog's body doesn't absorb well, and can be harmful long term.

💩 The volume of poo produced by dogs fed on a raw diet will be significantly less than dogs fed on a processed, carbohydrate-based diet, as there are no wasted ingredients.

✨ A diet that consists of fresh, raw and natural foods will provide your dog with the essential fatty acids and amino acids needed to maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat. A dog's skin and fur are almost exclusively built from protein, and up to 30% of the protein consumed in the diet is used by the body to maintain skin and coat condition!
