Your Animal Wellbeing

Would you like to know the benefits of feeding a raw, species appropriate diet to your dog?

Our raw feeding journey began about four years ago when one of our dogs started to suffer from terrible allergies, bad breath, constant ear and skin infections, yeast problems and trouble with her anal glands. I carried out a lot of research, and with the help of a holistic vet, we totally changed our dogs’ lifestyles, in particular, what they ate.

Izzy’s immune system was greatly compromised, due to me using chemicals in her body that I now feel I shouldn’t have done. As a result, her body went into overdrive. She is now fed meat, bone, and offal, without additives, grain or preservatives. The best compliment we could have received came from a vet who told us that she is doing amazingly well, considering how poorly she was. She is on NO medication whatsoever. One of our other dogs, Jess, was diagnosed at three years old with lymphoma and only given ten to twelve weeks to live (this was before she was fed raw). All she’s had since is her balanced raw diet and some herbs. Nearly four years on, she is very much still here and full of beans. The vets are astounded. Thankfully, all the others are fit and well. They have beautiful pearly white teeth with lovely fresh breath. Their poos hardly smell and are small and hard, due to the fact that they take all the goodness out of the food with hardly any waste. Our eldest is nearly eleven and he still charges around like a youngster. He didn’t use to enjoy his food, but now he gets rather vocal at feed times – it is lovely to see. They are also fed organic fruit and vegetables that have been well cooked and then blitzed in a food processor because dogs can’t naturally break down plant cells. They love carrots, broccoli, and strawberries in particular. We also feed them fresh fish, eggs, apple cider vinegar and some supplements like spirulina, garlic, and chlorella.

These are also organic to keep toxins as low as possible.

As well as seeing the benefits in our own dogs, our customers at Raw Feeding Plus in Morecambe have also had their lives changed significantly. We get many dogs coming in with skin problems that can be totally eradicated by switching to a raw diet. Some have seen positive effects in as little time as one week. It is very humbling. If you would like to know more, I am happy to chat, so please do get in touch.

Animal Charity

Wolfwood rehomes 150+ dogs per year - we don’t pick and choose, but help the most needy as they all deserve the chance of a new life. Many dogs are difficult breeds, have behavioural issues, or are old with health problems. Supporting these dogs costs a lot of time and money whilst with us and often through our Old Dog Fostering Scheme once homed. Eleven equines are currently in our care. Some are waiting for the opportunity of a new home when previous owners were no longer able to care for them. Many equines are surviving serious physical and mental neglect, which can take years before they are ready for a new home. Our staff are confronted with daily challenges; the work is enormously rewarding and never boring! Any help raising funds or volunteering will be gratefully received.
