Paws Rewind now stocking supplements!!

I have linked up with Fourflax Pet Supplements to supply Hamilton dogs (and cats) with New Zealand made natural products to help them feel good and improve their quality of life.

Having tried these products on my own dogs I know they work and have helped my dogs have a better quality of life.

• Probiotics:: Did you know the gut is the powerhouse for your dog and their overall health??? A healthy and balanced gut is key for a strong immune system.
Fourflax probiotics are a super blend of prebiotics and probiotics which supports a healthy balance of bacteria in the tummy.
If your dog has sensitivities, paw licking and itchiness probiotics can help with this.

Dietary fibre also helps with constipation, stool consistency and a**l gland issues. Packed full of targeted ingredients to build natural immunity, repair cells and make sure your dog is getting full absorption of nutrients and digestion of their food. Supplementing your dogs diet with feed Probiotics to nourish & protect from the inside out!

• Bone and Joint Powder:: The ultimate joint health supplement to help your dog stay active and comfortable at any age. Your dog doesn’t need to be old and arthritic to start feeding a joint supplement. Prevention is better than cure, so starting young will help ensure their joints are looked after for life! Not just at the end stage when it’s a little too late to repair any damage.

Providing a powerful blend of science-backed ingredients to deliver a highly effective solution. With UC-II Collagen®, scientifically proven to help maintain and support joint flexibility and mobility.
UC-II Collagen® works in a unique way to trigger your pet's immune system response to signal the body to rebuild and repair joint cartilage. This process promotes a natural inflammatory response while helping to support cartilage regeneration.

(Fourflax also do a calming supplement, a senior supplement and a couple of other options. So check them out if you would like more options, I can provide these too).

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. Message me for pricing and free delivery options.

Meet Koa

He has been receiving monthly massage sessions since November last year and recently this year has been coming along for lead training walks too!

Koa has a bit of discomfort in his back and his regular massage sessions help to ease some of this pain. So much so that when he goes back to daycare the day after his session he’s bursting with energy and bossing the other dogs around!!

Koa is also coming on training walks with me to help build his confidence out in public and to work on his reactivity towards other dogs when on lead.
Being around other confident dogs helps bring him out of his shell and feel less insecure when out walking on lead. The power of the pack comes in to help build other dogs up!

I am looking forward to continuing to help build Koas confidence with walking and also help to ease his pain with massage. What a lucky boy he is to have such amazing parents that want the best for him.

I'm taking part in the PAWGUST challenge to raise funds for Blind Low Vision NZ Guide Dogs.

Rain, hail or shine, I'll be pounding the pavement for Guide Dog pups. It's going to be RUFF but it's for a great cause.

For the month of August I am going to walk 200km for a good cause.

If you have a dollar or two to spare please donate to my challenge so I can raise funds to help the guide dogs 🥰
I am aiming to raise $1000 which will help support a guide dog for 20 days.

Please support my challenge today by donating to my fundraising page - https://www.pawgust.co.nz/s/64940/76551/e

Together, we can create a world where everyone who needs a Guide Dog, has a Guide Dog.

Thank you so much.

Paws sincerely,
Lauri

That feeling in winter when your dogs needs have been met before you get home from work.
No more cold wet walks in the rain, get home and cuddle up on the couch with them instead!

Meet Butters
He is a staffy x that has been walking with me since January.

Sometimes a dog just clicks with you and you build a relationship of trust pretty quickly - this was Butters. After only a few walks with me I could tell that he was going to be a suitable dog to introduce to other dogs pretty fast!

His leash work improved dramatically and he was listening to me after only a few weeks. So after walking him one on one for 7 weeks I started introducing him to some of my other dogs. He had no issues with being introduced to these dogs and we began building our small pack.

Now not all dogs graduate from one on ones to pack walking as fast. It’s all unique just like the individual dogs. But being able to read them and interpret their behavior is so important. Introducing dogs together too soon and you could have a disaster!

Butters isn’t perfect however - we still have the things we are working on. Cats, barking dogs, and sometimes overstimulation. But overall he has improved so much. His nana now even feels confident walking him because of how good he is on his walks now! And that’s something to celebrate!

Well done Butters on being a good boy!

Happy official 1st Birthday to Paws Rewind!
One year ago today I stepped out of my secure full time job and became completely self employed!
I had been slowly working on Paws Rewind in the background since 2023, but I knew that I couldn’t grow it to where I wanted if it was always just a side hustle. So I took a deep breath, pulled up my big girl pants and took the leap! And here I am one year on putting my all into my small business.

What a year it has been. Paws Rewind has grown and so have I. And I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for all of my amazing clients. I have been so blessed by being backed and supported by some of the best people! Complete strangers who have put their trust in me and recommended me and my services because they truly believe that what I offer is worth it.

I am not going to lie, starting a business is not for the faint hearted. There were many times when I doubted myself, if I was good enough, if what I was offering was worth it, if people would support me, if people found my services worth their hard earned money. There were many times when I thought I had made the wrong decision and wasn’t sure if it was going to work out. But I stuck at it and I did because of two very special people. First my number one supporter my husband, always behind me pushing me to be the very best version of myself. Pushing me to prove to myself that I can do anything I put my mind to. And the second is Kelsey from , teaching me and providing me with her knowledge. I wouldn’t be here without them.

So here’s to my first official year in business, I have made it this far. And I am so proud of the business I have created and what I am doing to help dogs. Here’s to my future in business and the dreams that I have for Paws Rewind to grow bigger and better! So watch this space, because I know my journey has just begun.

Happy Easter 🐣
Hope you all have a safe and wonderful Easter weekend. Don’t let the doggos get into your chocolate stash!

Here are a few group photos from some of my groups this week.

Meet Gus,
He is a Golden Retriever X puppy that I have been walking since December.

Gus first started walking with me as a 6 month old puppy to work on his puppy leash skills.
His parents wanted some help to teach him how to walk nicely on lead and to work through his excitement around other dogs and people.

A lot of work and commitment is needed when you get a puppy to teach them the necessary skills that will help them grow into well rounded dogs. Leash skills are a big part of this.

I help to work with the dog and the parents to learn and grow in confidence together. I am still working with Gus to slowly introduce him to other dogs in a calm manner as well as teaching him how to calmly walk past them on the street. I am teaching him that he can walk past new people without jumping all over them. And he is now able to walk alongside another dog without the need to interact with them.

As with all puppies things take time and we will have our setbacks. Training is a little like a roller coaster! Once you feel like you have reached the top, there is always going to be the next drop! But that’s the fun part.

I am looking forward to continuing to help Gus on his journey and see him grow into a well rounded dog. Keep an eye out for his progress.

Meet Mango 🥭

He is a golden retriever who has been receiving monthly massages with me since July.
His parents are being proactive with his health and wellbeing by booking in regularly maintenance massages to help keep him active and free from any niggles that arise.

Maintenance massage sessions are a great way to ensure your dog is kept in the best possible condition for their every day activities. Dogs are active creatures that are really good at hiding pain! Booking your dog in for regular massages with a trained certified canine massage therapist is a great multimodal approach to keeping your dog in great health.

Not only does massage encourage blood flow to areas of pain to help the body heal, it also helps with relaxation. A good massage therapist will be able to not only see but feel any areas of tightness or pain that your dog will be holding. Massage can help relieve your dog of this pain so they can live out their best life!

If you have any questions or concerns about your dogs mobility or health feel free to flick me a message and I am sure I can help.

Some cute faces from my week.
What a week! With 23 dogs walked and 8 dogs massaged I’ve been kept very busy! But my goodness does my heart feel full 🥰

It’s a hard time out there for everyone, especially us small business owners and seeing so many of them having to close their doors recently is very sad. I am so grateful for all of the support I have had to keep me in business. Thank you to each and every one of you who has kept Paws Rewind operating.
And I feel very lucky that my days are spent with all of these cuties!
