Spring Cleaning Tips: Pet Care and Seasonal Supplements

As the mercury climbs, so does the activity of bugs and insects in and around our homes, gardens, and favorite walking spots like local fields and forests. Be ready, because these critters are eager to hitch a ride on your dog!

Tick Removal Encountering the occasional tick on your dog or cat is quite normal as spring unfolds. Though typically harmless, it's crucial to remove them properly. At Nurturing by Nature, we offer the impressive Tick Twister, an ingenious tool that eases the tick removal process, ensuring your pet's comfort.

Preventatives While fleas, ticks, and worms are year-round concerns, they become particularly pesky in spring. Here are some top-notch preventative solutions:

Billy No Mates This all-natural herbal supplement is despised by ticks, fleas, and mites alike. A sprinkle over your dog's meal fortifies them from the inside out!

Four Seasons Even pets on a raw diet with natural treats may encounter worms. Four Seasons is a gentle worming treatment safe from around 2 weeks of age, mimicking wild animals' instinct to consume herbs for digestive health.

Neem Oil A staple for the Nurturing by Nature team and our customers, Neem oil is a stellar part of any pet care arsenal. Our Neem and Coconut pet shampoo, enriched with this magical ingredient, not only soothes the skin and adds a glossy sheen to the coat but also boasts antibacterial and anti-insect benefits.

Tip from Nettie: "Before a walk, I spritz my dog's coat with a light mist of Neem Shield pet spray. It's my go-to for keeping those ticks at bay during our outdoor adventures.”

Keep these tips in mind to help your pet stay bug-free this spring, and if you need any more advice or supplies, remember we're here to help at our raw pet food shops across Dorset.

As the seasons shift and the days grow warmer, our cats and dogs begin their natural shedding process in preparation for the warmer weather. If you're finding tufts of pet hair on your furniture (and your favorite sweater), you're not alone. To minimize the fur frenzy in your home and keep your pet comfortable, there are several strategies you can employ.

Regular brushing A daily grooming routine will not only help maintain a healthy, mat-free coat as your pet sheds their winter fluff but also reduce the amount of hair floating around your home.

Zoom Groom Consider the Zoom Groom, a gentle rubber brush that doubles as a massaging tool while it whisks away loose fur. It's a hit with pets of all kinds – even the fussiest ones seem to adore it.

Natural pet treats For pets that are less enthusiastic about grooming sessions, natural treats can be a game-changer. Offer these delicious distractions during grooming, and watch the resistance melt away. Explore our full selection of natural pet treats for the perfect grooming companion.
