Merry Christmas

Dec 3, 2016

Another year has nearly rolled by and we want to thank all that have supported us this year. Thank you for supporting your local natural pet store. The holistic pet market is growing at a rate of knots as more and more savvy critical thinking pet parents are educating themselves, which is wonderful for our four legged friends.

Wishing you, your family and furries a very Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and stay safe!

We’d like to share a couple of festive recipes with you and remind you of the foods your pup should avoid this holiday season!

    Turkey Feast

    Makes 1kg food (to be divided and stored and or served accordingly)

    • 400g Turkey mince

    • 2 Turkey necks (whole or chopped)

    • 8 Chicken hearts or giblets

    • 150g zucchini, eggplant and asparagus

    • Half cup parsley

    • 2 tablespoons plain cottage cheese

    • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

    • 1 tablespoon cold pressed virgin olive oil

    Keep all ingredients raw. Remember, dogs don’t cook food! Blend the vegetables and parsley in a food processer or similar. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, then divide and serve accordingly. You can store the remainder in a container to be used within 2 days or freeze and use within 2 months.

    Food to Avoid this Festive Season

    • Chocolate

    • Grapes, raisins, currants and sultanas

    • Macadamia Nuts

    • Onions and Spring Onions

    • Xylitol

    • Alcohol

    • Raw Salmon

    • Unripe Tomatoes and their stalks/leaves

    • Green Potato

    • Rhubarb

    • Pits of different fruit such as pears, apples, peaches and cherries

    • Cooked Bone

    • Bones smaller than the dogs mouth (can be swallowed whole and get stuck)

    • Excessive starchy foods (linked to bloat)
