Are you being conned with companies using the word COMPLETE in their dog food? You'll soon see them having to use COMPLEMENTARY. Why? A complete dog food provides all the essential nutrients a dog needs for daily health, requiring no additional supplements. It is designed to be fed on its own as a nutritionally balanced meal. In contrast, complementary dog food lacks some nutrients and needs to be combined with other foods or supplements to provide a balanced diet. Complete foods meet all nutritional requirements, while complementary foods must be paired with other ingredients to ensure full nutrition.

Poppy’s Picnic is the first raw dog and cat food brand to be awarded the new quality and safety standard for raw pet food manufacturers, established by UK Pet Food and managed by KIWA. This certification is crucial because it introduces the first fully independent safety standard for raw pet food. The scheme covers every aspect of production, including plant design, supplier assurance, safe product formulation, traceability, microbiological testing, staff training, and labelling compliance, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and safety throughout the entire process.
It's important to handle all food sensibly, whether it's for you or your pet. Basic hygiene principles are the same for all types of pet food - correct storage, attention to use by dates, washing your hands and utensils - and are important to keep your home safe and clean.
UK Pet Food have created some useful guidelines for dog and cat owners to help remind you of the essentials
Dogs love massages, and they provide numerous benefits. Massaging your dog can reduce stress, improve overall well-being, promote body function, treat muscle injuries, and strengthen your bond. It helps with circulation, reduces inflammation, and can prevent musculoskeletal imbalances. Dogs may hold tension in different areas, so recognising signs of discomfort is key.
Poppy experienced significant improvement after receiving massages from Michele, a qualified canine masseur. Michele is trained in animal therapies and helps dogs feel revitalised, improving their mobility and overall happiness. Massage is a safe, non-invasive therapy suitable for all dogs.
