Has your vet told you to feed a hydrolysed protein?

Well, now you can; whilst also feeding real food with honest ingredients, real meat content, and without the nasty allergens added by Royal Canin, Hills & other ‘science based’ claims 🙌🎊♥️🐾

Speak to us in store today about switching.

Baby Bucky’s first puppy groom - and he was the best boy at just 14 weeks 🥰💙

It’s so important to introduce puppies to the grooming process at an early age so it becomes a normal part of life for them, particularly when they need it regularly for life 🤍✂️🛁🐾

💔💔💔💔 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! 💔💔💔💔
Every single day, we fight. We fight to save them, to heal them, to give them the love they have never known. But the suffering never stops. This poor pony, left to rot in filth, trapped and forgotten—how many more must suffer before real change happens?
This pony is in LIMERICK, at a boarded up house on oliver plunkett street st Mary's park.
We have shouted. We have begged. We, like so many others, have been screaming into the void—pleading for action, demanding justice for these innocent souls. And yet, we have not been heard.
That changes now.
We will no longer just shout. We will speak, and we WILL be heard. We will make those in power listen. We have spent a lot of time working on this and now we are ready to push forward.
In the coming weeks, we plan to take this directly to the new government we are seeking:
🐾 Stronger laws and enforcement for dog control
🐎 Better regulations and penalties for horse welfare violations
🐶 Stricter oversight to end unethical dog breeding
This is not just a campaign. This is a movement. Our fight starts NOW.
To every animal who has suffered, who has been forgotten, who has died waiting for help that never came—we see you, and we will not fail you.
But we need YOU. We need your voices. Share this. Speak out. Stand with us. Let’s shake the walls of those in power until they have no choice but to listen.
💔 For them. For justice. For lasting change. 💔

Great information about the necessity of raw meaty bones. We have 2 packs available starting at only €4.95 🐾🦴

Regular raw meaty bones are an essential part of a dogs nutritional, dental and mental health needs 🧠

Some important points:
🍖 "Natures toothbrush" - bones must NEVER be fed cooked or dried
🍖 Raw bones can be fed defrosted or frozen (tip: if frozen run under tap before serving to take edge off the freeze)
🍖 Senior dogs may need bones defrosted to avoid tooth nerve pain
🍖 Puppies are in greater need of regular raw meaty bones appropriate for their size for calcium and mineral requirements for growth and development
🍖 Puppies from 7-8 weeks old can be started on small soft poultry bones if they've had fresh raw food for a week min. prior
🍖 Puppies fed a daily bone will reduce chewing on things you don’t want them to chew
🍖 Marrow bones or other "weight-bearing" bones must not be fed to any age dog. They're too hard and dense, cannot be digested and risk chipping & cracking teeth.
🍖 Bones smaller than the dogs mouth size pose a choking risk for gulpers and provide no chewing benefits
🍖 Chewing bones is great for anxious/stressed dogs, releasing happy hormones serotonin and dopamine and reducing the stress hormone cortisol
🍖 Variety of protein is important
🍖 Bones are extremely high value to dogs - separate dogs safely to consume if needed, provide plenty of space and never remove a bone from a dog unless an emergency or exchanging for something of equal or greater value
🍖 Dogs that are fed a kibble only diet should not be fed bones out of the blue.
🍖 Lodgement and impaction risks are higher in dogs fed a high-carb, highly-processed food diet.
🍖 Dogs denied regular raw meaty bones and fed high-carb processed food will need expensive and risky dentals later in life
🍖 If starting out, increase frequency of bones slowly
