  1. Celebrate National Walk Your Dog Day!

    Celebrate National Walk Your Dog Day!

    Mark 22nd February on your calendars, because its nearly Walk Your Dog Day!

    Although as loving and responsible dog owners, we’re sure that every day features a dog walk of some nature, Walk Your Dog Day is a great opportunity to remind us all of why the daily dog walk is an integral part of your dog’s (and your!) overall health.

    Why is walking important?

    Cardiovascular health

    For many of us, walking is the easiest, cheapest and most accessible way to exercise and imp

  2. Beat the January Blues Together

    Beat the January Blues Together

    After the hustle and bustle of Christmas and New Year, January arrives and snaps us back to a harsh dose of reality. Low levels of sunlight, cold temperatures and taking down Christmas decorations – it’s not difficult to understand why January is commonly known as the most depressing month of the year, with "Blue Monday" commonly known as the most depressing day of the year (hang in there and keep reading… we’ll perk up in the next paragraph, we promise!).

    But rather than wallow in the pity of the January Blues, we thought we’d highlight some happy and positive ways that you and your pets can team up and flip the narrative on Blue Monday – with a little help from exercise, nutrition and (best of all) cuddles!

    Moving house with your pet

    Moving house with your pet

    Moving house is often considered one of the most stressful events in life. The planning, organisation and expense of moving house is often considerable, and even more so when children and pets are added to the mix.

    After a Nutriment pack member recently moved house, with their 7-year-old Labrador in tow, we thought we’d take the opportunity to discuss the topic of moving house with pets and give some advice on how to make the process as smooth as possible.

    So at least that’s one thing on your to-do list that you don’t have to worry about!

    The dog coat 101: prepping for winter

    The ultimate dog coat guide

    Winter is coming. We repeat – winter is coming! We don’t know about you but we’re shivering at the thought of it. But whilst it may feel like we’ll never see the sun again and the sight of the smart meter totalling up our heating bill cost is starting to give us nightmares, here’s one thing you don’t have to worry about this winter – your dog’s coat.

    We’re giving you the ultimate dog coat guide. The when, what, why and how of the canine coat world, to answer questions like ‘Is my dog warm enough?’, ‘Do I need to keep my dog’s coat long in winter?’, ‘Does my dog need an actual coat?’, ‘What should I do when my dog gets wet in winter?’ and ‘Will my dog ever stop shedding his coat??’ (just kidding on that last one, the answer is of course no, never truly, you just have to embrace it).

    A dog owner's guide to a cosy night in...

    Get cosy with your dog this RAWtumn with Nutriment!

    “Look how dark it is already!”

    Come on… admit it, we’ve all said that at least once so far this autumn, haven’t we?! As a nation we are pretty obsessed with seasonal changes. As the weather changes and evenings get darker, we automatically reside ourselves to our diminishing vitamin D levels and counting down the weeks to December 25th (don’t worry, we won’t say the ‘C’ word just yet!).

    However, it’s certainly not all doom and gloom. As autumn settles in, we’ve got lots to look enjoy and look forward to, including colourful, snuggly autumnal walks, piled-high roast dinners with all the trimmings on a Sunday, and who doesn’t love a cosy night in?

    Here at Nutriment, and for many of the humans in our pack, our pet dogs are very much part of the family. So, it goes without saying that they are included in our autumn cosy night in plans. We’ve put together the ‘ultimate cosy night in’ plan to keep

    Mud. Seemingly one of the WORST elements of dog ownership. Yes, dogs are cute and cuddly and great listeners… but the mud?! It’s the one thing we dread as the season’s change and the rain starts to pour (even more!)... unless you’re a dog of course!

    But did you know that there are actually some benefits to letting your dog go wild in the mud? In this blog post, we’ll explain the positive effects of mud for your pup, and give you some tips on how to deal with the aftermath.

    Benefits of pumpkin: the super squash

    There’s so much more to pumpkins than their doorstep status at Halloween! So, we’re giving pumpkin its long overdue time to shine by showcasing just how much natural superpower this super squash truly has.

    Pumpkin is one of over 100 types of squash. It’s distinctive shape and variety of colours (green, yellow, red, white, blue and tan), make it instantly recognisable compared to its lesser-known cousins (the pattypan or crookneck squashes for example).

    Pumpkin is one of our carefully selected, biologically appropriate ingredients here at Nutriment. We double grind our pumpkin (and other raw veg ingredients) to make sure the nutrients are more readily available. You’ll find pumpkin in a variety of Nutriment Raw recipes, such as all of our core range, Liver Support, Lamb Dinner

    It's Game Season!

    Seasonal game meat and its benefits for dogs and cats

    It is widely considered that eating seasonally (meaning eating foods that are naturally available according to the seasons), is the most healthy, nutritious and sustainable way to consume food. Seasonal food is less likely to contain preservatives to keep it fresh, it is less likely to have had to travel far, and it is likely to taste better as a result.

    Autumn is the best time of year to enjoy the great taste and nutrition that traditional game meat has to offer. Whilst some varieties of game are enjoyed all year round, such as rabbit and pigeon, game meats that are ‘shot’ when shooting season starts in early autumn, such as pheasant and partridge, are best sourced and enjoyed ‘in season’.

    Keeping your dog safe in autumn!

    Staying safe on autumnal walks

    Autumn is definitely one of our favourite times of year here at Nutriment. The warming, vibrant colours of nature that appear at this time of year make dog walking a beautiful task (especially if the autumnal sun is shining!). It’s usually cooler, which makes walking more comfortable for both pup and parent, and it’s the perfect excuse to grab a hot chocolate to accompany you and keep you toasty.

    As with all seasonal changes, it’s smart to refresh your memory on the best ways to stay safe in adjusting temperatures, light levels and hazards that are weather-dependent. We’ve summarised some key points in this blog post to help keep you safe and happy on your dog walks this autumn.

    It feels like we’ve blinked and summer is over – although whether it actually began is up for debate! As we get ready for a fresh start this September, we’re preparing to get back to school, back to work, and back to a routine with holidays a somewhat distant memory.

    Benefits of bone broth for your pup!

    Bone broth – the superfood that is truly SUPER!

    Bone broth has become somewhat of a superfood in recent times, with nutritionist and health enthusiasts promoting the extensive list of benefits bone broth can provide. Bone broth is a stock liquid made from slowly cooking meat bones at a low heat for an extended period of time. Simmering the ingredients releases their nutrients into the water in a form the body can easily absorb. It is packed in essential nutrients such as protein (including collagen), calcium, magnesium, vitamins A and B, and minerals such as zinc, iron, calcium and selenium, which all support a multitude of bodily functions.

    Luckily for our pets, bone broth is not a human-only health booster – dogs can enjoy the delicious benefits of bone broth as well.

  16. Let your dog forage this summer!

    Let your dog forage this summer!

    To ‘forage’ means to search for wild food resources, and it’s becoming an increasingly popular activity to obtain natural, flavourful and eco-friendly ingredients for culinary experiments.

     

    In the canine world however, foraging is intrinsic to a dog’s hunter and scavenger nature and works wonders for their mental health. Dogs use their superpower sense of smell whilst they forage and scavenge, which is an incredibly powerful form of mental exercise and can be just as effective at using up energy as a dog walk itself.

     

    The modern domestic dog has little need to exercise their hunting and scavenging natures: their food is bought for them, and usually served to them in a bowl. This can sometimes leave your pet pooches a little under-stimulated and in need of some additional mental exercise. Summer foraging is a great way to help this.

    How to provide your dog with recovery support after intensive exercise

    Although daily walks and regular exercise are both essential for a healthy and happy dog, sometimes intense or new exercise can leave them a little bit out of sorts.

    Perhaps they’ve exercised in a way that they’re not necessarily used to (for example an agility class, an extra-long hike or a big swimming session), or they’ve recently been poorly and their fitness levels have deteriorated, or maybe they’re just getting a little bit older and struggling to fully recover from exercise like they did before – in any case, here’s some great ways of replenishing your dog’s nutrients, restoring their energy levels and getting them back to their happy and healthy selves.

    Safety tips when travelling in the car

    If a family driving trip is on your agenda this summer, it’s important to consider how to keep yourself and your dog safe both when travelling in general and in the car.

    According to a study carried out by Volvo in the USA in 2019, drivers are more 2.6 times more likely to become distracted from driving by an unrestrained dog than a restrained dog in the car. The risk that this poses to both yourself, your dog and third parties is serious.

    Dog breeds in the summer heat

    The importance of your dog’s breed and beating the heat this summer.

    We should all know the dangers of hot weather for our dogs by now, and how important it is to keep our four-legged friends cool and safe during the hotter summer months (if not, take a quick read of this blog post). However, we wanted to do a bit of a spotlight on specific breeds that may need a little extra attention paid to them as temperatures soar.

    Unfortunately, some breeds of dog are more prone to suffering with heatstroke and heat exhaustion due to the nature of their build. If your dog falls into any of the below categories, please take extra care with them whilst this glorious weather is upon us. Remember – just an increase of a few degrees can have a major impact on your dog’s ability to regulate their temperature.

    We often get asked about what fruit and vegetables are safe for dogs to eat. As advocates of a raw, fresh and biologically appropriate diet, we encourage the feeding of safe fruits and veggies as a way to boost nutrient intake, vary tastes, textures and flavours, and keep your dogs happy and healthy in the most natural way.

    It’s common knowledge that grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs, but you may be less of aware of other fruity dangers, and just as importantly, fruity delights that your dog should and should not enjoy.

    Nutriments 10th Birthday Timeline


    Happy birthday to us!

    Nutriment started back in June 2013 as the brainchild of entrepreneur Suzanne Brock, who wanted to establish a premium-yet-accessible raw pet food brand that stood strong on the grounds of quality, nutrition and ethics.

    So how did we get here? What’s been the key to Nutriment’s popularity and success? Well other than our fantastic, loyal customers (both the two-legged and four-legged variety!), we believe that Nutriment has had such as incredible first decade due to our founding principles.

    Preparing your dog for summer holidays

    By Roz Pooley, Canine Behaviourist, The Mutty Professor


    Dogs owners often enjoy taking their dogs on holiday with them, and the vast majority of dogs enjoy their holidays too. However, some dogs may require extra consideration towards making their family holidays stress free and safe for all.

    Picking the right supplement for your dog

    71% of UK adults take a food supplement today,  which is a 19% increase since a similar survey was carried out back in 2019. Unsurprisingly, the supplements market has grown at an unprecedented rate in recent years, as our awareness of, and appreciation for, our health has grown.

    Of course, this growing trend of health and wellness has spread to our household pets. As members of the family, we want our pets to live long, happy and healthy lives, and high-quality supplements certainly have a role to play in this.

    As a pet nutrition brand dedicated to helping pets lead active, comfortable and enjoyable lives, we have introduced a range of supplements to our portfolio to add that extra boost of targeted nutrition for pets. But which supplement is right for your dog?

    Keeping cool, the traditional way

    It’s been a long time coming but dare we say it – summer is FINALLY here!

    As temperatures creep up and we start to spend more time outdoors getting that all important vitamin D, it’s the time of year to start being conscious of your dog’s body temperatures.

     

    As we know, overheating and heat exhaustion can be incredibly dangerous for dogs. Sadly, of all heat related illnesses presented at the vets, approximately 15% end fatally. The problem with dogs and heat is that when unacclimatised, dogs struggle to keep themselves cool. A sudden increase in temperature – even by just a few degrees – can have a serious impact on your dog’s health.

  30. Why do our dogs forage?

    Why do our dogs forage?

    Scavenging is considered an undesirable behaviour, often for fear the dog will eat something that’s dangerous for them or will make them ill.
    Excessive scavenging can also lead to dogs becoming unresponsive to their owners and roaming too far if off lead, in their quest for finding food.



    As a species, dogs are scavengers first and foremost. Studies on free ranging dogs have less frequently recorded observations of them predating on animals, although they may predate when prey are in abundance and when perhaps resources are hard to find through scavenging.

    What is self control training?

    Impulse control is a term we use alongside ‘self-control’.  It’s where we are asking dogs to control their motivation to do something they want to do, unless prompted by us. The idea is, that by helping dogs slow down and consider whether what they are looking at or thinking of doing is more reinforcing than what we have on offer- we can help keep them safer.

    When we do self-control training we can use a range of reinforcement. Of course, we can use treats, praise and play- but we can also use access to the very thing the dog wanted as their final reward.

  32. 5 foods for healthy canine joints

    5 foods for healthy canine joints

    According to the RSPCA , canine arthritis is the most common cause of chronic pain in dogs and affects four out of five older dogs. Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints which causes pain, discomfort and stiffness. Cartilage within the joint can change and become damaged, making it less ‘smooth’ and causing the bones to rub together. This creates even more pain.

    There are many things that can make arthritis and joint paint more severe for dogs, including obesity, cold weather, hard walking surfaces and food allergens. With inflammation being the main culprit for the development of arthritis and unhealthy joints, it’s important to try to incorporate anti-inflammatory foods in your ageing dog’s diet, to reduce the risk of joint damage and the development of joint diseases such as arthritis.

     In this blog post, we take a look at different foods and ingredients that can help to alleviate the symptoms of arthritis and keep joints supple and healthy.

  33. The importance of feeding a variety of proteins

    The importance of feeding a variety of proteins

    Why should I vary my dog’s protein source?

    When you buy a 15kg bag of kibble, chances are your dog is going to be eating the same type of protein (e.g. chicken, beef, lamb etc.) meal after meal, day after day for as long as 6-8 weeks. Yes, it certainly seems convenient for the human, and most pups will give a bowl of biscuits a taste, but is it really in their best interests?

    Whilst there are many reasons why kibble isn’t the most nutritious choice of food for a happy and healthy pup, we want to talk about one thing specifically in this post – and that is the risks associated with single protein-source diets.

     

    Protein allergies

    While grain allergies are the most common seen in dogs, they can and do develop allergies to specific proteins in their diets.

     

    Dogs are not born with protein allergies; these develop as a result of constant exposure to the same protein. Repeated exposure to a single protein

    How to give your dog a ‘Spring Clean’ naturally – from the inside, out!

    After a long, dark, cold and muddy winter, we’re all starting to get into that spring spirit. And it wouldn’t be spring without a traditional ‘spring clean’. We recently highlighted ways to spring clean the home in a pet-safe way, and so it’s only right that we now look at ways that we can give our beloved pups a good spring clean, both on the inside and out.

    Keep your dog clean is not only essential for their own health and happiness, but it’s beneficial to you (and your home!) as the owner, and it’s a great way to bond with your dog and show that you really care.

    Does diet affect behaviour in dogs?

    by Roz Pooley, The Mutty Professor

    Every behaviour we do and every process in our body relies on energy obtained through diet. It would be foolish for us to think it does not affect dog behaviour.

    Nutrition is a big can of worms to open, especially when it comes to dogs! The field of research around pet dog nutrition is ever-growing. For the sake of this blog, I will loosely refer to established information and research on nutrition but will largely draw on my own experience in working with dog behaviour on a clinical level. I may cross reference between species, but please do note that extrapolating from research on another species is common practise within science, especially when there are similarities- such as being mammals!

    Why you should let your dog play with their food this Easter

    Easter is one of those special times of year where food becomes even more fun than usual for the humans in the household! Egg-stravagant chocolates, egg hunts, and treats from the Easter bunny – children and adults alike can revel in the fun that Easter brings.

    So why not get your beloved dog involved as well? Minus the chocolate of course!

    Easter is the perfect time to start making food a little more fun for your pups.

    Introducing food play time!

    What is food play time?

    Essentially, food play time is anything that involves feeding your dog in a fun and playful way. This could incorporate all of their meals and snacks, or could just be limited to snacks if you are set on feeding meals from a bowl. There are so many benefits to making food times fun for our four-legged friends, and we just know that they’ll love you even more for it!

    Pet-safe ways to Spring Clean your home!

    Ahhh Spring – it feels nice to be finally thawing out from a long, cold winter!

    As we welcome warmer days and lighter evenings, we might be getting that urge to pull out all the furniture and give the house a good ‘spring clean’.


    Where did "Spring Cleaning" originate from?

    There are many thoughts on where the term ‘spring clean’ first originated from, with historical references found in the Iranian Nowruz (the Persian New Year), the Jewish springtime festival of Passover and the Catholic holiday period of Easter. But regardless of where the phenomenon first started, most of us partake in the tradition.

    With that in mind, we thought we’d take this opportunity to remind all of you responsible and loving dog owners of the potential dangers that can crop up when it comes to spring cleaning and our pets.

    Ticks, tick bites and Lyme disease – everything you need to know to keep yourselves and your dogs safe

    As the weather (hopefully) starts to warm up, and we begin to spend more time in the great outdoors, it’s an ideal time to learn more about tick bites, and find out how to prevent them, treat them and what to look out for when it comes to Lyme disease.

    Both dogs and humans can pick up ticks. Ticks latch onto the skin by biting, and begin to feed on the host’s blood. The real problem lies in the infection of the tick with borrelia bacteria, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.

    Mental exercise for dogs: its benefits and activities that can help

    We’re all well aware that physical exercise is essential for happy and healthy dogs: it supports cardiovascular, joint and muscle health, and helps maintain a healthy weight. But do we know just how important mental exercise is for them? And how do we go about mentally stimulating our pups?

    Dogs are extremely intelligent animals and want to use their brains to satisfy their intrigue. The average dog can learn around 165 words, understand and react to social cues, show empathy, interpret emotions, and can think rationally. That’s impressive for something so cute and cuddly, isn’t it?!

    It’s quite incredible how much we rely on a dog’s intelligence for a multitude of jobs including disability assistance, explosive detection and search and rescue missions. However, a dog’s mental capacity to learn and engage should not be ignored just because they’re a family pet: it’s essential that mental stimulation is a part of their daily routine whether they’re out in the service fi

    How much sleep does your dog need?

    Whether they’re stretched out in the sunshine, curled round your feet under the desk or sprawled over their (or your!) plush bed, you might feel envious of how often your pooch naps throughout the day.

    But how much are they actually sleeping? How much sleep does a dog tend to need? And how can we help a dog get the right amount of sleep?

    First of all, we need to go back to sleep basics…

    5 surprising ways your dog shows that they love you!

    A 2020 survey found that 47% of us in the UK have a dog for love and affection and thanks to scientific studies on oxytocin (the ‘love hormone’), we know that dogs definitely DO feel love back for us. Phew!

    Unfortunately, they can’t tell us this in human language (as much as we would all love to hear our dogs say those three little words), but there are plenty of ways in which they show us with their body language and actions.

    Is raw feeding really that 'tricky'?

    One of the biggest concerns we hear when talking to those considering a raw food diet for their pets is that it’s too ‘tricky’, ‘confusing’ or ‘difficult to switch’. Ok – we admit it – pouring a cup of kibble into a bowl is quick and requires little consideration. If this is what you’re used to when it comes to feeding your pet, then you will find that raw feeding requires a just a little more energy…

    However…

    We want to banish all the misconceptions that pet owners have around raw feeding. The ‘mess’, the ‘bacteria’, the rigmarole of defrosting and serving – it’s time to ditch whatever you’ve heard and start afresh on your journey to raw. Afterall, feeding Nutriment is as simple as defrost, portion, and serve!

    How do I balance a raw dog food diet?

    Dogs require a nutritionally complete and balanced diet in order to obtain all the essential protein and nutrients that they need

  43. 5 scientifically proven benefits of walking your dog

    5 scientifically proven benefits of walking your dog

    We all know that a key aspect of dog ownership is committing to regular dog walks. But do we know why these are so important and just how beneficial they are to both pooch and parent?

    With the average British dog being walked six times a week, for an average duration of 48 minutes per trip, we are totting up some serious miles on a yearly basis (around 750!). In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the incredible benefits that every single step provides us.

    1. Cardiovascular fitness

    Walking is a free and flexible method of exercising, which is hugely beneficial for both you and your dog’s heart health. In fact, according to the British Heart Foundation, dog owners actually have a lower risk of death due to cardiovascular dis

  45. Resource Guarding in Dogs: Understanding, Prevention & Management

    Resource Guarding in Dogs: Understanding, Prevention & Management

    by Roz Pooley, The Mutty Professor

    Resource guarding, in some contexts, is a totally normal canine behaviour. It serves the function to maintain access to resources, which would be crucial for the survival of a free-ranging dog or wild canid.

    However, in pet dogs, this behaviour has the potential to escalate significantly and can sadly become dangerous to other dogs or humans and stressful for all involved, including the dog who does the resource guarding.


    Examples of resources are;

    food (in their bowl), chews, treats, toys, found or dropped (out of place) items such as socks and rubbish, a human (because they are associated with resources) and locations (doorways, resting places and areas associated with other resources).


    Resource Guarding Behaviours can include;

    freezing/tensing up over the resource, looking at the challenger (dog or

  46. How often should I feed my dog?

    How often should I feed my dog?

    This is a common question for both new and seasoned pet owners alike. Whilst there are no strict rules – and it’s best to feed your dog in whatever way that’s right for them – the general recommendation for healthy, adult dogs is twice a day (morning and night). Of course, puppies, older dogs and dogs with certain health requirements need feeding outside of these guidelines.

    How often should I feed my puppy?

    Smaller stomachs need smaller but more frequent meals. Their rapid growth needs lots of nutritional support, so you’ll find they eat a lot in their first few months, and just like human babies, they can be fed on demand. Young puppies (under 6 months) should be fed at least 3-4 times a day, older puppies (6 months+) should be fed twice a day. Explore Nutriment’s puppy food, including weaning paste and specialist puppy formulas here for further information.

    Do dogs get Seasonal Affective Disorder?

    By Roz Pooley, The Mutty Professor

    The cold, dark winter months can feel pretty doomy and gloomy for many people, even bringing on symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in some.


    Does SAD affect dogs?

    Scientists aren’t yet sure if they suffer from SAD in the same way humans do. However, many owners do report a change in behaviour, including lethargy and a depressive-like state in dogs. This change in behaviour could be for a few reasons.

    1. The clocks going back.

    Most dog owners are likely familiar with the challenges in getting their dogs used to their new routine with many asking for dinner an hour earlier than usual or waking up too early. The change in time and subsequently, reduced daylight may affect your dog’s circadian rhythm, which may affect their behaviour.

    2. Reduced Exercise & Mental Stimulation

    6 Christmas gift ideas for the raw feeder

    Whether your tree has already been up for weeks, or you’re refusing to know it’s Christmas time at all, the truth is that there are less than 4 weeks left until Santa Claus comes to town, and present buying time is running out.

    1. Are all dog walks created equal? Absolutely not!

      Are all dog walks created equal? Absolutely not!

      If your dog’s daily walk is the same length and route, in the same location, stimulating the same senses each time, it may not be fulfilling your dog’s walking needs. Just like humans, dogs need a variety of different movements and environments in order to remain fulfilled.

      We’ve outlined four different types of walk in this post that are essential for a well-walked, happy and healthy pup. Try and incorporate all four into your weekly walking routine.

      Exercise walks

      Just like humans, dogs need exercise to maintain their physical health. Particularly for dogs who aren’t raw fed, exercise is essential for ideal weight maintenance. Brisk walks and runs that elevate a dog’s heart rate (duration dependent on age, breed and fitness levels of each individual dog), are great types of exercise for dogs. If you’re concerned about your dog’s weight, you can speak to one of Nutriment’s in-house canine nutritional advisors to discuss which of our raw food formul

    2. What Is My Myoglobin?

      myoglobin

      Do you pour away the red liquid leftovers at the bottom of your pup’s bowl or Nutriment raw food tray? Then STOP! That stuff is liquid gold!

       

      You may assume that it’s blood and that it should be discarded, but it’s in fact nutrient-dense myoglobin and water. It makes a fantastic nutritional addition to your pet’s natural, raw diet.

       

      What is myoglobin?

      Myoglobin is a dark red iron and oxygen-binding protein that is found in the cardiac and skeletal muscles of mammals. It is responsible for storing oxygen so that working muscles can contract and work effectively.

      Myoglobin is also rich in bioavailable iron, taurine (great for cats!) and B vitamins, making it a nutrition powerhouse that your pets should enjoy.

       

      Did you know? Diving mammals such as seals and whales are able to swim underwater for extended periods of time because of the large amounts of myoglobin in their muscles!

    10. How to keep your dog calm at the vets

      Your Pet, the Vet and Getting Upset

      “The vets”. Two little words that can make even the bravest pup run for cover. Needless it say, it can be a hugely stressful time for both pet and owner, but visiting the vet and managing a pet’s physical health is a crucial part of pet ownership. Nearly half of UK dog owners report their dogs as being fearful of the vet and behaving problematically as a result. Why are dogs scared of the vets? And what can we do to help?

      Well firstly, vet fear is completely natural and understandable. After all, 48% of us humans suffer from mild to severe anxiety over visiting the dentist, 10% of us have trypanophobia (an intense fear of needles), and many more of us are scared of hospitals or faint at the sight of blood. Of course, we are able to rationalise the need for confronting our fears for the sake of our health in most cases.

    14. How do you choose healthy dog food?

      dogs confused with question marks over their heads

      We all want our dogs to be happy, healthy and to live if possible. The best way to make this happen (other than bucketloads of cuddles and letting them on the sofa!) is to feed them a healthy and nutritious diet.

      But what does healthy even mean? And what dog food is healthy?

      It can be so difficult to cut through the noise and determine what is ‘healthy’ for any of us, two legs or four. For us humans, one minute we’re told we need to cut out fat, then we need to remove sugar. One week gluten is the enemy, the next we’re at war with red meat.

      What is clear however, is that the more natural the diet, the better. Processed foods, artificial ingredients, added sugar and nutritionally void foods, coupled with reduced physical activity, has been proven to cause a wide range of health problems, including obesity, which is a worldwide epidemic today.

      Obesity just doesn’t exist in the same way in the animal kingdom (other than our pets, because we control their die

    15. Give tripe some hype

      A cow with tripe slogan

      What a load of [hugely nutritional for dogs] tripe!

      What is tripe?

      Tripe is the name for the edible lining of the stomach of a grazing animal. This is usually cow, but can be sheep, deer, ox, and even antelope. It is hugely popular in Italian cooking, and can be found in dishes from Mexico, India, Portugal and others. It’s flavour is described as ‘mild liver’, but we’ll let you be the judge!

      Tripe for human consumption is cleaned to make it safe to eat. ‘Green tripe’ on the other hand, is completely natural, and has not been cleaned or bleached, which can damage the nutritional profile of tripe. Green tripe is the type of tripe that is perfect for a raw dog food diet.

      Is tripe good for dogs?

      A cow’s digestive system is complex, as their stomachs have four chambers which systematically break down grass with digestive enzymes, gastric juices and amino acids. These enzymes, gastric juices and amino acids are ver

    16. Are Dogs Colour Blind?

      picture of dog with example of what colors dogs can see.

      Are dogs colour blind? It’s turns out the answer isn’t quite so black and white…

      For a long time, people believed that dogs could only see in grayscale, but studies in the late 1980s dispelled that myth. Today, a dog’s vision is commonly described as ‘colour blind’.

      Colour blindness in humans is a complex condition which can be inherited or acquired. Most people have colour vision that is trichromatic, meaning that they see the three colour variations (red, blue and yellow/green). There are lots of variations of colour blindness, of which one – known as dichromatic vision – is how dogs also see.

      A closer look at the eye

      The eye sees colour via a series of white light absorption and reflection. For example, blue objects absorb blue wavelengths of white light and reflect the rest. The reflected wavelengths reach the retina at the back of the eye. The retina contains two types of light-sensing cells: rods, which detect motion and vision in l

    19. Excited Wee... Or Appeasement Behaviour?

      dog sitting In front of door

      You asked: “Why does my dog wee when they greet myself or my guests when we come home, or when they meet unfamiliar people? How do I stop them doing it?”. Here Roz Pooley, Canine Behaviourist from The Mutty Professor, answers your question!


      It can be embarrassing when dogs urinate as they greet people, especially if the urine goes all over the person! It can also be frustrating to constantly have to clean up after them.

      This behaviour is often termed ‘excitement weeing’. However, this isn’t a particularly helpful label, as it gives the impression the dog is happy, which may not always be the case. Another term used is ‘submissive urination’, which is a little more accurate. Although, in clinical animal behaviour we tend to prefer the word ‘appeasement’ to ‘submissive’.

      The rise of the ‘staycation’ during and since the Covid-19 pandemic has been a great boost to UK tourism and has encouraged holidaymakers to explore the beautiful sights of the UK rather than travelling abroad. Around half of holidaymakers are looking to stick to the UK this summer, citing comfort, ease, and less stress as reasons for avoiding the airports in 2022. An added bonus of choosing a staycation as a dog owner, is the option to bring your pup along and avoid hefty kennel and dog sitting fees. Whilst international travel with pets is a possibility thanks to pet passports, long journeys (especially involving air travel) can be costly and hugely stressful for everyone involved, and there are various inoculations and restrictions to adhere to in order to pass border controls.

    21. Signs of Dog Pain

      dog in pain

      by The Mutty Professor

      All animals have evolved to hide pain well. Appearing to be in pain can make an individual vulnerable to predation, driven away by members of their social group or targeted by a rival individual or group.


      Furthermore, activities that generate a lot of adrenaline and cortisol mask pain, causing dogs to appear to be, in the moment, pain-free. This can lead to dogs being inappropriately exercised which may lead to delayed recovery or long-term physical damage.

      A whopping 80% of dogs over 8 years old experience arthritis and worryingly, up to 35% of dogs under this age may suffer too. Poor breeding practice (including some of the extreme breed standards we see today) has resulted in structural abnormalities in many breeds and also in mixed breeds. The very sad reality is that these days,

      As a nation obsessed with the weather, we’re often very eager to dust of the BBQ and stock up on grilled goodies as soon as the weatherman predicts highs of 16°C. It certainly wouldn’t be a proper British summer without firing up the BBQ, overcooking some sausages, and rushing inside when the weather turns to rain.  

      Whether you’re an absolute carnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan, flexitarian, or anything else in between, BBQs are the ultimate social event for Brits once we’ve all thawed from winter. And impressively, many Brits sharpened their BBQ skills over the 2020/ 2021 Covid-19 lockdown periods, as reported by The Independent, and so summer 2022 promises to be an absolute feast!

      Let’s face it, dog walking is a lot more enjoyable when the sun is shining. As much as we love our pooches, trudging through the rain and mud in the darkness isn’t always the highlight of our winter days. However, when When days start to become lighter and longer (around March time), we often feel a lot more inspired to get out into the fresh air to keep our pups - and ourselves - fit and healthy. 

      This is obviously great news for our dogs! Instead of dragging them along in the rain and discouraging any sniffing breaks, spring and summer walks are understandably a bit more relaxed and this allows dogs to do something they absolutely love – stop and sniff!

      Cat and a dog sitting next to a sign highlighting it's 'Random Acts Of Kindness Day'

      Celebrating its 27th year in 2022 – ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ Day is perhaps the most positive day in the celebration calendar! RAK Day is an entire 24 hours dedicated to kindness, care and consideration for everyone we may come across, with an aim to encourage this spirit throughout the rest of the year.

      Did you know that being kind to others actually makes you feel great? It boosts serotonin and dopamine levels, which give us feelings of satisfaction and well-being, and causes the pleasure/reward centres in our brains to fire into action.

      Studies show that pets can have a similar uplifting effect on our moods when it comes to serotonin and dopamine. This is great news, as according to the

    41. Too cold to walk? Boredom busters to keep pups happy this winter!

      Dog wearing warm clothes

      Going for a walk is undoubtedly the best part of your dog’s day (other than dinner time!). Keeping your dog safe whilst on walks is obviously hugely important, and it is vital to consider weather conditions as part of this. We are all aware of how dangerous hot weather can be for unacclimatised dogs, but are you aware of the dangers of cold weather? Extreme cold weather poses the same risks for dogs as humans, including the risks of frostbite and hypothermia. As a general rule, any temperature below -10°C is too cold for any dog to be walked. Of course, a dog’s size and coat type will determine the exact temperature that is appropriate for it individually. Other winter-related dangers include snow and ice, grit and anti-freeze products, and increased darkness.

In particular handlers and dogs may be tested on slightly longer courses than in previous years. This is because the WAO 2019 will give judges the opportunity to set courses with 22 rather than 20 obstacles. This may not seem like a major change but it really does give the judge a lot more scope to test the skills of handlers and dogs .
