We’re officially at this stage now 😅 Ready for the Christmas break and a proper rest. It’s been such a busy week. We honestly haven’t stopped. Freezers emptied, restocked… and emptied again. Surely everyone’s got everything they need by now… right? 🎄🐾 #bristolrawdog #christmaseveeve #whataweek

This beautiful boy came in looking all festive on his Gotcha Day. We cannot believe that it’s been a whole year of knowing him and his wonderful family. It’s been an absolute pleasure! We will see you soon 🩵 #gsd #lookingfestive #lovehim #happychristmas #bristolrawdog

This beautiful boy stopped by for a muzzle today. We have fallen in love with him - he is just the sweetest 🩵 #dog #goodboy #bristolrawdog

Look at that sweet face!! Another happy shopper in to see us on this busy Sunday before Christmas. We are definitely getting into the spirit. Only Monday, Tuesday and half a day on Friday to grab what you need. #sunday #runuptochristmas #feelingfestive #cutedogs #bristolrawdog

In the run up to Christmas we are having some fun with some of the photos taken in store. This beautiful bulldog pup looks so cute amongst the festive background. #bulldog #puppy #cutenessoverloaded #bristol #bristolrawdog

Last post of the day goes to this gorgeous pup. He is new to our community and we have had some great feedback from his parents - the raw food is a hit! We look forward to meeting him soon. #puppy #rottweiler #cute #bristol #bristolrawdog

These 2 beauties came in to show off their Santa hats and left with some Christmas jumpers! They are ready for the festivities. #dogchristmas #dogs #bristoldogs #bristolrawdog

These 2 beauties stopped by for new harnesses. They look so smart and the colours really suit them 😍 #bristolrawdog #newharnesses #dogs

Wishing our wonderful community a very Merry Christmas 🎄 Thank you for being part of Bristol Raw Dog and for supporting a small family business. We’ve used the likeness of dogs from our community to represent the variety of breeds that make up our pack 🤍 #BristolRawDog #SmallFamilyBusiness #DogCommunity #BristolDogs #doglovers

We have very few @nakeddograw Christmas Roast left and they are a bargain price of £2.99 per kg. Naked Dog tubs are usually £5.99! When they’re gone, they are gone! #dogchristmasdinner #rawfeedingfordogs #bristolrawdog

Our Raw Treat Freezer has been restocked - everything is back. We are ready for a busy weekend. #bristolrawdog

This gorgeous pup stopped by today to pick up some goodies. It was so lovely to see you #welovepuppies #cute #bristolrawdog

A polite notice to our customers. Sadly we have just been notified that there will be a delay on our Birmingham raw until tomorrow. As you can see, the freezer is pretty low until it arrives. We do however have full stock in everything else. Apologies for the delay. #bristolrawdog

The one dog we did manage to photograph today was this beautiful pup. Just look at that squishy face. So cute 😍 #puppy #cutenessoverloaded #bristolrawdog

As we head into the last weekend before Christmas and Christmas week, we would just like to let our customers know that this time of year is extremely busy. We are doing our best to get in deliveries, get deliveries out, keep our shop full, carry out muzzle and harness fitting and much much more. We do apologise if you have slightly longer wait times for advice or to be served at the till or if something is not on shop floor but please understand that we are doing our very best. We would like to thank our customers which were super patient with us today, at times we couldn’t move and all we could see was people. Roll on a bigger shop! #bristolrawdog #busy #thankyouforyourpatience

Our @dougiespets and @nakeddograw has both been restocked today. We have our usual deliveries of Raw Treat and Birmingham Raw tomorrow and that is the last of our freezers full for the Christmas period. Please keep your eye out for a new range of treats that will be on our shelves very soon - trust us when we say that these are exciting, we already know our dogs love them and we are certain yours will too. #bristolrawdog #fullystocked

Less than a week to go and a little reminder of our opening times over Christmas and New Year. #bristolrawdog

We may need a moment to recover from how cute this little face is 😭 We loved meeting this tiny new addition to one of our Bristol Raw Dog families. She completely melted us. Welcome, little one. We can’t wait to watch you grow. #bristol #newpuppy #bristolrawdog #welcome #community #cutenessoverload #love

This lovely boy has just grown in confidence since he has been coming in. We are so proud to see a happy face, his tail not tucked but instead wagging happily as he explores and initiates contact with our staff. It’s always a pleasure #dog #bristoldog #bristolrawdog

This big beautiful girl stopped in for her raw food today. She especially enjoyed a sausage treat and lots of loving #canecorso #dog #bristoldogs #bristolrawdog

How gorgeous is this beautiful boy wearing a light up collar bought from us? With these dark mornings and evenings, they are so useful for dog walks and even more so with a black dog. We have plenty in stock so pop in to take a look. #bristolrawdog #blackdog #gsd

We received our @nutrimentraw delivery today and are pleased to announce that lamb puffs are back! Let’s hope they last until Christmas 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 #bristolrawdog #lambpuffs #favourites

This beautiful boy was desperate to get out of the van and come inside for a sniff around - obviously we obliged. It’s always good to catch up with him and his family. See you all soon 🩵 #dog #bristol #bristolrawdog #thesightsandsmellsofadogshop

This beautiful boy was our last customer of the day. He is new to our community and was a little unsure at first. Of course we won him over with treats. #dog #rescuedog #beautifulboy #bristolrawdog #thursday

We received a delivery from the @the.muzzle.movement today with a full restock of Tolly and Harry Muzzles in all colours. We got in some wider nose straps, chin straps and head straps. We were also lucky enough to receive 2 of the new Pippa size that was released today - the rest will follow soon. #bristolrawdog #gooddogswearmuzzlestoo #muzzlemovement

Our @furbabynutritionltd freezer has been topped up with all the favourites. Yes! The WTF turkey free Christmas dinner is back! We know how popular this one is. #bristolrawdog #fullfreezer #rawfeedingfordogs #bristol

Our guess the name of the Elf game is still running in store to fundraise. It’s £3 a guess and you can win £100 Bristol Raw Dog voucher. Come and have a go!! sadly there is no holding of names until the £3 has been payed. #bristolrawdog #fundraising #£100voucher

This sweet little girlie stopped by to pick up some food today and the smallest Christmas jumper. It looks incredible on her and should keep her lovely and warm over the festive period. #chihuahua #christmasjumpersfordogs #bristolrawdog #sunday

This gorgeous girlie stopped by for some goodies on this very busy but wet Sunday. She was so excited to say hi to everyone. We hope to see you again soon. #staffy #cutedogs #happydog #bristolrawdog

Our custom Christmas stockings have been flying out today. We’ve been putting each one together with your dog in mind, making sure they’re packed with toys and treats they’ll actually love. We’ve also got our mini Christmas Eve house boxes ready to go, filled with a few little goodies to make their night extra special. 🎄🐾 #bristolrawdog #personalised #goodies #christmas

Please take a look at our Christmas opening hours in the photo. If you’re planning to stock up before the holidays, now’s a good time to pop in or place your order. A quick heads up for our regulars; some suppliers won’t be delivering during Christmas week, so certain products may have less than usual between Christmas Eve and 2 January. We’ll do our best to stay well stocked but grabbing what you need early is definitely the safest option. We’ll be open for a few days in between Christmas and New Year. We know freezer space is tight this time of year so we’ve made sure there’s at least some provision in place. At the same time, we need a few days to rest and spend with our loved ones, especially with everything we’ve got planned for next year. Thank you for understanding and for always supporting us. We hope you and your dogs have a calm, cosy run-up to Christmas. 🎄🐾 #openinghours #festiveperiod #datesforyourdiary #bristolrawdog

What a Friday!! 3 freezers filled today with one more on its way tomorrow. We are ready for a busy weekend and are well stocked with raw food, bones & chunks, fish, dried treats, toys and Christmas goodies. #bristolrawdog #wellstocked #wehaveitall

We are so grateful to receive our first Christmas gifts of the year - thank you guys. We always appreciate our regular customers thinking of us during the festivities. Can we also take a minute to appreciate this incredible 3d Christmas card from one of our suppliers. Thank you guys too, we love it and our calendar 🫶🏼 #thankyou #feelingappreciated #bristolrawdog

A late post tonight due to such a busy day. We have taken lots of deliveries: Anco - yes the coconut braids are back along with other coconut, honey and peanut butter braids and rolls; Nutriment has been restocked; our 15kg salmon dried is back in stock for those of you waiting. Now some rest before another 4 pallets arrive tomorrow! #bristolrawdog #restock

And here they are!! Lots of you have been asking when they will become available. The Bristol Raw Dog Natural Treat Christmas Boxes are back! They are being packed today to hit the shelves on Thursday. #bristolrawdog #naturaltreatbox #bristol

This beautiful boy popped in today to pick up his raw dog food and a new Christmas jumper. The red really suits him ❤️❤️❤️ #bristolrawdog #dog #christmasjumper

The JR Ostrich Advent Calendar is a massive hit with our pack this year. Zeus was excitedly impatient, as you can see from the last video… meanwhile the Frenchies sat there like perfect angels waiting for theirs. Feel free to share your pics and videos of your dog enjoying theirs. We would love to see them🎄🐾 #bristolrawdog #christmas #advent #december1st

More new Christmas toys that have arrived! Sorry not sorry!! We are now jam packed with everything your dog could need over the festive season. #christmas #bristolrawdog

It’s the 1st December and the first of our custom stockings are going out to some lucky dogs ready for Christmas. These can be custom built to meet your dogs likes and needs. We already have a waiting list that we will be putting together for regular customers this week but please get in touch if you would like one and haven’t ordered one yet. I know some of you still have the stockings from last year so feel free to bring them back to be refilled too. #advent #runuptochristmas #stockings #christmas #bristolrawdog

We’re down to the last few advent calendars and I already know how this plays out… Your dog sits there on December 1st, watching everyone else open theirs, wondering why they got left out. If your dog could shop, they’d put one in the basket themselves. So consider this your little reminder before they’re gone. Only a couple left in store. Once they’re gone, that’s it. 🎄🐾 #bristolrawdog #dontletthemmissout #howmuchdoyouloveyourdog #laststockremaining

Another happy customer on this busy Saturday. This little #borderterrier is just so sweet - great to see you today. #bristolrawdog #dog #dogsofbristol #saturday

This sweet girl popped by today for some treats ready for her 3rd birthday on Wednesday. We hope she has a fabulous day celebrating. See you soon 🩷 #dog #birthday #celebrate #bristoldogs #bristolrawdog

This stunning boy stopped by to pick up some goodies for his birthday - we obviously had to take pics with the birthday hat - he was happy to oblige for some sausages 😂😂 Thanks for all stopping by and brightening our Saturday ❤️ #bristolrawdog #xlbully #beautifulboy #lovehim #happyboy

It’s been a very busy Friday and the freezers have been filled. #friday #fullfreezers #bristolrawdog

Our beautiful old lady Harley is in being spayed today. Please keep her in your thoughts although we know the vet will take great care of her. ❤️‍🩹 #frenchie #ouroldgirl #wishherthebest #bristolrawdog

Look at this little queen. She popped in for her raw food and left looking winter-ready in her new coat. Warm, stylish and absolutely melting us. #frenchie #cutenessoverload #newcoat #winterready #bristolrawdog

This gorgeous girl popped in today to grab her raw dog food and goodies. It’s always a pleasure to fuss over her - she has the sweetest nature. It’s her birthday soon and we hope she has a great day. #frenchbulldog #bristolfrenchies #bristoldogs #bristolrawdog

We have 1kg furry rabbit ears on offer whist stocks last. £18 for a kilo is probably the cheapest in Bristol so don’t leave this bargain for too long. #bristolrawdog #furryrabbitears #bargain #comeandgetagooddeal

We love our @albion_pet_foods range and our dogs thrive on it. There is so much choice so it will suit all dogs large and small. It’s super user friendly and creates very little waste. You just defrost and feed. #bristolrawdog #rawdogfood #bristol #albion

Bristol Raw has been restocked. Every protein is back! #bristolrawdog #rawdogfood #bristol

This beautiful boy stopped by today. It was great to see him for cuddles and treats. #puppy #bristolrawdog #cute #sunday

🎉 Happy 2nd Birthday to this little legend! 🎉 He turned up today in full party mode, complete with his hat, outfit and that classic “I’ll tolerate this for treats” face. He also happens to be birthday twins with Rachael… although she’s very slightly older. Only by a tiny bit. A smidge. Practically the same age really. Send him all the love. He’s celebrating in style and absolutely milking it for sausages. 💙🐾 #happybirthday #sunday #bristolrawdog #daytocelebrate

With only 10 days until 1st December we have very low stocks of the Woolf and skippers advent calendars left. We have plenty of the JR and Good Boy ones. Don’t leave it too long - your dogs will never forgive you!! 😂😂 #bristolrawdog #adventcalendars

We are back fundraising with something a little different. We are holding a game of ‘Predict the name of the Elf’. Entries are £3 a guess for the chance to win a huge £100 Bristol Raw Dog voucher. That will certainly be a great win for Christmas. This is in store only so pop in and try your luck. 🤞🏼🍀#fundraising #bristolrawdog

Last delivery of the day was @albion_pet_foods - we have a fully freezer including their amazing raw foods, frozen necks, wings and sprats. We’ve also ensured that our dried treat selection is well stocked. #toomanydeliveries #💪🏽 #fullfreezers #tuesday #bristolrawdog

Yes, another freezer has been restocked today! We have full @nutrimentraw freezers and everything is back in stock. Lamb puffs are back too. #bristolrawdog #anotherdelivery #wearefullystocked

As some of you know, it’s been difficult to keep our freezers stocked with free flow minces. We have done our best and introduced a new range. Introducing @drool_petproducts !!! Pop in and try a bag! It comes in lots of different proteins. @bristolrawdog #drool #freeflowminces

Yes that price is correct!!! £2.99 for 2x500g trays of @nakeddograw Christmas roast. It’s a steal for that amount! We have taken a large delivery of everything else so our freezer is full to the brim. #bristolrawdog #fullfreezer #nakeddog #rawfeedingfordogs

This beauty stopped in for a new harness today. He is such a happy boy and his tail did not stop wagging. See you soon 💙 #bristolrawdog #bullbreed #blackdogs #happyboy #sunday #bristoldogs

It’s been a busy Sunday and we’ve had some wonderful visitors. We don’t see this boy very often but he certainly brightened our day. #goldenretriever #dog #rawfed #bristol #bristolrawdog

This super cute #borderterrier popped by today to stock up on goodies. He is the sweetest boy - hopefully we captured it with his head tilt 😍 #cutedogs #bristol #saturday #bristolrawdog #dogsofbristol

A late post today but just to let you all know that our delivery has arrived and we have a full freezer. #bristolrawdog

These 2 beautiful doggies popped in for some goodies. Always a pleasure to see you all. #bristoldogs #bristolrawdog

This sweet boy came in before opening this morning for a private muzzle fitting. He was so good and took to the muzzle like a champ. His owner has been sent away with advice of further training to ensure he is as happy wearing it as possible. The @the.muzzle.movement Neli was a great fit and ensures he has enough room to pant fully. #gooddogswearmuzzlestoo #muzzlemovement #bristolrawdog

We have received our @furbabynutritionltd delivery this morning so we have a full freezer. We have also received the Christmas editions. These were super popular last year. #bristolrawdog #fullfreezer #fbn

This sweet boy stopped by today despite the weather to pick up some goodies. We were spoiled with cuddles and kisses. See you soon 🐾🐾🐾 #dog #dogsofbristol #bristolrawdog #tuesday

We had not only a delivery of @albion_pet_foods today but we also had a visit from our wonderful rep @albion_tanya It’s always great to meet with our suppliers to talk about existing and new products. We will be bringing in more from this incredible brand once we are in our larger premises and we will be holding a taster day for some of you that haven’t tried Albion yet. Albion have been a part of our shop since we opened and we love their products. #bristolrawdog #bristol #albionpetfoods #rawfeedingfordogs

We’ve taken our 2 minutes of silence today to reflect and remember those that have fought for us. All of those who served on foot, paw, hoof and wing Lest we forget ❤️❤️❤️

This happy boy stopped by today. No wonder he was smiling so much, he left with 2 Woolf advent calendars. What a lucky dog 🤩😍 #greyhound #dog #bristol #saturday #dogadventcalendar #woolf #bristolrawdog

Our last visitor of the day was this lovely boy. He stopped by for some treats, a giant yak and some calming products to help him through the next couple of days. We really hope it helps. #dog #dogsofbristol #friday #bristol #bristolrawdog

They’re back by popular demand! We have restocked our @frozzys_ probiotic yogurt pouches. They are great for Kongs, lickimats, muzzle training or just a treat. #bristolrawdog

What a find these were!! So fluffy and cute. We love these Cath Kidson harnesses. #bristolrawdog #cathkidsonuk

We have introduced a few new goodies for the festive period as it is the season for treating ourselves and our loved ones. These @ruffingtonsuk goodies look good enough for humans! #doggycakes #sweettreats #feelingfestive #yummy #bristolrawdog

All advent calendars have arrived for the year! We have 5 different varieties and are so happy with the selection we have to offer this year: Skippers offer a 100% fish option; jr have 2 (one ostrich which is great for those dogs with allergies and one turkey & venison); Woolf - their treats are popular and these calendars always fly out of the door; Good Boy - these are great for those on a tight budget this year. There is something for everyone so you have until December 1st to pick one up. Every year we sell out so please don’t wait! We also have some additional Xmas goodies like pate crackers, gingerbread boxes and stockings which include toys and treats. We will be uploading more festive goodies including our natural treat boxes and new cakes soon #bristolrawdog #advent #wevegonebigthischristmas #dontwaittoolong

This beautiful girl stopped by to pick up her raw food today but someone kept photobombing her!!! 😂😂 #vizsla #dog #photobomber #bristolrawdog

Posting this a little late due to staff illness - sorry! Nothing like howling for treats! #malamute #dog #bristolrawdog

This gorgeous girlie stopped in for the first time today. She was a little nervous at first but quickly warmed and felt at ease. Great to meet you all and we hope to see you again soon. #saturday #dog #bristol #bristolrawdog

🎃🐾 Wishing all our lovely customers (and your four-legged monsters!) a happy and safe Halloween 👻🕯️ We’re sorry we haven’t been able to do our usual spooky fun or doggy fancy dress this year - with staff sickness, we’ve just not been able to manage it. Thank you for understanding and for always supporting us. Have a great night, keep those treats out of paw’s reach, and give your pups an extra cuddle from us 💛 ✨ We promise next year we’ll be back to celebrating even bigger and better than before - in our brand new premises! #BristolRawDog #HappyHalloween #SafeHalloween #RawFedAndFearless

Some of the team are at home not well but using their time wisely 😅😂 #dogphotography #alittleaddicted #ai #staffy #bristolrawdog

This beautiful boy popped in today for his raw food and supplies. We decided to take a few pics and add a few alterations. How stunning is that photo? #canecorso #beautiful #sophotogenic #rawfed #bristolrawdog

🎃 Keeping Dogs Safe This Halloween & Bonfire Night 🎆 We know how stressful this time of year can be for our dogs. The sudden bangs, flashes and strange sights can leave even the calmest pets feeling unsettled. A bit of preparation and reassurance can make all the difference 💛 Here are some simple ways to help keep your dog safe and comfortable over the coming weeks: 🐾 Create a Safe Space Set up a quiet, comfortable area indoors where your dog can retreat. Close curtains, put on the TV or some calming music and keep the lights on to soften flashes from fireworks. 🕓 Stick to Routine Try to walk your dog earlier in the day before dark. Keeping meal and bedtime routines normal can help reassure them that everything is okay. 🚪 Keep Them Secure Even the most confident dogs can panic. Make sure doors, windows and garden gates are shut. Check their collar and microchip details are up to date just in case they bolt. 🍫 Watch Out for Halloween Hazards Chocolate, sweets (especially those containing xylitol), pumpkins with candles and decorations can all be dangerous if eaten or chewed. Keep treats well out of reach. 💬 Stay Calm Yourself Dogs pick up on our emotions. Stay relaxed, speak softly and reward calm behaviour with praise or treats. 🎇 Plan Ahead for Fireworks Check local display dates and times so you can prepare in advance. On the night, keep your dog indoors with curtains drawn and background noise on. We see so many dogs struggle at this time of year and it breaks our hearts. A little preparation goes a long way. Remember, we’re always here if you need advice, reassurance or products to help your dog feel more at ease ❤️ #BristolRawDog #DogSafety #BonfireNight #FireworksAndDogs #HalloweenWithDogs #KeepDogsSafe #DogAnxietyHelp #DogWellbeing #NaturalCalming #RawFedDog #BristolDogs #DogParentsUK #RawFeedingCommunity #DogHealth #DogLoversUK
