Based on Glasgow’s south side, The Natural Vet is an award winning, pioneer of holistic care for pets, supporting fresh feeding and offering titre testing, herbal medicine, acupuncture and laser therapy, alongside all of the usual services you will find at your vet.
Having always had a raw food shop within the practice, the Covid-19 pandemic and increased demand has meant The Natural Vet has expanded, creating a 2,000 square foot superstore filled with a whopping 28 brands of raw dog food, as well as natural treats, toys, health supplements and pet accessories.
This raw food store has the largest range of raw dog food in Scotland combined with fully trained staff, and with the vets right next door, it’s the perfect place to find a fresh and healthy diet for your pet.
Dr Adele Fitzpatrick MRCVS is an advocate for feeding your pets an unprocessed, fresh and balanced diet, but has concerns over some of the advice pet owners are being given online or in some shops.
Dr Fitzpatrick says: “Feeding a raw food or home-cooked diet can do wonders for our pets but only if it is fed in a balanced way with good quality products. We are finding some of our clients have been buying food thinking it is a complete diet when it is actually deficient in several key nutrients. For this reason, we wanted to create a raw food superstore that stocks a huge range of raw food from complete and balanced products, that you don’t need to add anything to, to more budget-friendly options that need supplementation to be complete. Every brand has been graded as ‘bronze’ (not complete) to “gold” (complete and balanced) so customers can easily understand what they are buying. Our staff are also on hand to give nutritional advice.”
The Natural Vet Superstore stocks raw food for both dogs and cats, as well as raw meaty bones, chunks, doggy ice cream and frozen yogurt, and nutritional supplements.
Dr Fitzpatrick also offers nutrition consultations for beginner raw feeders and for sick pets.
Fancy checking out the Natural Vet Raw Food Superstore? Make sure you attend official launch on Saturday 28th August between 12pm - 5pm. There will be a limited number of goodie bags available with nibbles (for humans!), local doggie influencers, a pet selfie area, and prizes for the best dressed pooch, along with a Q&A session with Dr Fitzpatrick on Raw Feeding, to get all of your questions answered.
