One of those little moments that just says it all 🤎
On the way out, this puppy rolled straight over for belly rubs… and of course these girls didn’t need asking twice. A simple, sweet moment between two groups of customers. Strangers a minute before, connected by a dog the next. This is exactly what we’re all about 🐾 #bristolrawdog #community #welovedogs
After a long day, moments like these remind us exactly why we do what we do.
Two dogs, completely different, choosing calm over chaos. Sharing space, reading each other, just… being dogs.
This is what Bristol Raw Dog has always been about.
Not just food, but a safe space.
A place where like minded owners can come, chat, learn, and feel comfortable bringing their dogs without worry.
We’re proud of the community we’ve built with you all. It’s built on trust, respect and understanding.
And moments like this… they mean everything.
Nothing forced. Just dogs being dogs, and people who get it. #bristolrawdog #community #dogsbeingdogs #lovethis
We have the best customers 💛
A huge thank you to the lovely customer who brought these in for us today… honestly, just what we needed to get through a Monday!
Little acts like this don’t go unnoticed and we are so grateful for the kindness we’re shown day in, day out.
We really do have the most amazing community 🐾 #bristolrawdog #bestcustomers #mondaytreats #thankyou #appreciationpost
Some journeys are just meant to happen 🤍
We sat in traffic for over an hour today… but the moment we saw this beautiful boy, it didn’t matter one bit.
He’s always been special to us and truly part of the Bristol Raw Dog family. One of our originals, one of our ambassadors, and one of those dogs you just don’t forget 🐾
Getting to see him in person while dropping off his food made the whole day. That wag, that face… worth every single minute.
This is what it’s all about for us. Not just food but the relationships, the trust and watching these incredible dogs thrive.
We love you, big lad 🤍 #bristolrawdog #specialdelivery #worthit #dog
These 2 beauties tried a new treat after today’s shopping haul 🐾
Sheep fat filled hooves… not the prettiest, not the best smelling (let’s be honest 😅) but the dogs? Completely obsessed.
A proper natural chew that keeps them busy, satisfied, and out of mischief… with the bonus of that nutrient-rich fat to support skin, coat, energy levels and even brain function.
Safe to say these two approved ✔️
Have your dogs tried these yet or would they turn their nose up? 👀👇#bristolrawdog #naturaltreats #bristol
Sun’s out, Zeus has his shades on 😎
Meanwhile I’ve got a to-do list as long as my arm…
…but here I am making dancing dog edits instead.
Because let’s be honest… he’s the main character and I’m just the assistant at this point.
Shop’s closed today, so enjoy this sunny Wednesday and we’ll see you all tomorrow ☀️#bristolrawdog #sunny #wednesday #dancingdog
Dalmatian owners, this one’s for you 👀
Feeding certain breeds isn’t always straightforward… and Dalmatians are a big one when it comes to getting things right.
This video from an Albion brand ambassador shows how their offal-free options can make things a lot simpler ✔️
No prep, no guesswork, just straight out the freezer and into the bowl. Easy, consistent, and tailored to dogs that need something a little different.
If you’ve got a dog that doesn’t quite fit the “standard” diet, we’ve got options to help 👍 #bristolrawdog @albion_pet_foods #deliveryday #dalmatian
Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mums out there today.
From the mums raising families, to the mums caring for their four-legged babies. Today is about celebrating the love, patience and care you give every single day.
Dog mums know that being a mum doesn’t always mean school runs and packed lunches… sometimes it means muddy walks, fur on the sofa, early morning toilet breaks and a freezer full of dog food.
However you’re spending the day, we hope it’s filled with love, appreciation and maybe a few extra cuddles from your dogs.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mums in our community. 💐🐾 #happymothersday #bristolrawdog
This boy is growing so beautifully and I’m sure he has had a growth spurt recently. He used his manners to politely ask for a piece of freeze dried duck breast from our treat tin and it’s safe to say he loved it so much, his dad bought him a bag for at home. Thanks for stopping by on this sunny day to see us. See you soon #rottweiler #paw #goodmanners #bristolrawdog
A Treat Tuesday update from one of our customers… 🐾
This handsome boy enjoying one of our giant collagen braided chews and getting nicely stuck in. A natural chew that supports joint health, dental care and long-lasting enrichment, especially for larger dogs.
We love receiving updates like this and seeing your dogs enjoying their goodies. 🐾 #bristolrawdog #longlastingchews #happycustomer
Such a beautiful soul. Soft eyes, sweet nature and always wanting to please. But the second the treat tub opens… she is suddenly very alert. 👀🐾
Dogs can hear a treat bag open from three streets away… I’m convinced.
Be honest… how far away can your dog hear a treat bag open? 😂 #bristolrawdog #dog #bristoldog
That little tongue curl gives it away 👅
Someone has spotted the treat jar… and he’s not leaving without one.
This handsome boy clearly knows the routine when he walks through the door at Bristol Raw Dog. One sniff of the treats and the lip licking begins.
Today’s choice? A hairy rabbit ear. Safe to say it didn’t last very long. 🐾 #bristolrawdog #dogtreats #happydogs #dogsofbristol
Paw poised and ready… just waiting patiently for that well-earned treat 🐾
Some dogs just know the drill when they walk through our door. This little sweetheart had her paw up and ready, making sure she didn’t miss out.
Safe to say the treat jar did not disappoint.
#bristolrawdog #saturday #bristoldogs
This little beauty is quickly becoming a regular visitor at Bristol Raw Dog and we absolutely love seeing her 🐾
She is such a friendly, happy pup and it’s been lovely watching her grow and thrive. Her family have her on a raw diet and she is doing brilliantly.
One of the best parts of what we do is seeing dogs come in from puppyhood and watching them grow into healthy, confident dogs. We get to know them, celebrate their milestones, and enjoy every visit along the way.
Safe to say she has already stolen a few hearts in the shop ❤️

Another happy dog enjoying one of our marrow bones 🦴
We love getting updates like this. This gorgeous girl is clearly making the most of her treat and her mum says she’s loving it.
Raw bones are more than just a tasty chew. They help support dental health by naturally cleaning teeth, provide mental stimulation, and give dogs a natural outlet for chewing.
In store we stock a wide range including marrow bones, ribs, spare ribs, venison necks, ostrich long bones and more, so there’s something for every dog.
Nothing better than a happy dog with a good chew 🐾 #bristolrawdog #bones #saturday
The oddly satisfying moment when the freezer is freshly stocked and everything is perfectly lined up.
Fast forward two minutes after loading and the neat rows have vanished. Quite often people are grabbing packs while we are still filling it.
Different proteins flying out, people taking what they need and the perfect lines are gone.
It may not stay pretty for long but it means lots of happy dogs. 🐾 #bristolrawdog #rawdogfood #bristol @rawtreatpetfood
She may be huge but she’s all heart 💕
This gentle giant visited us today and completely stole the show. Beautiful manners, calm confidence and the kindest nature. It’s clear her owner has put so much time and love into her training.
She made the most of her visit too. Plenty of sniffs, lots of fuss from her new human fans and a very thorough taste test of the goodies on offer.
We can’t wait to watch this lovely girl grow. 🐾 #puppy #largedogs #puppiesofbristol #bristolrawdog
Today we had the honour of welcoming Bear for one last visit to his favourite place.
Bear has been part of the Bristol Raw Dog family since the early days and we feel truly privileged to have shared this time with him and his family. Saying goodbye was not easy and our hearts are with them as they prepare for the days ahead.
Bear is deeply loved and will always be part of the Bristol Raw Dog family. 🤍

We absolutely love receiving your updates when new goodies go home 🐾
This beautiful boy clearly approves of his latest chew. Settled in, fully focused and that tail wagging every few seconds like he just can’t contain the excitement.
We love the wag.
We love seeing them enjoy what you’ve chosen for them.
Keep the photos and videos coming, they genuinely make our day. #happycustomer #thattailwag #bristolrawdog

🚨 COMMUNITY ALERT: CRIME SPREE IN SOUTHMEAD 🚨
Following yesterday’s incident involving Mr Zeus, new evidence suggests this was not an isolated event.
We are now dealing with what appears to be a coordinated gang of four-legged hooligans operating in the Southmead area with absolutely no respect for local businesses, treat displays or closing times.
Today’s suspect appeared significantly more professional.
Not only was he harder to identify due to the use of a balaclava but he also arrived armed.
We are incredibly fortunate that no staff, customers or snacks were harmed during the incident.
Police have run the number plate linked to the suspect’s vehicle, however it appears not to be registered, further suggesting organised criminal activity.
Offences include:
• Armed robbery (with puppy eyes)
• Aggravated drooling
• Possession of stolen natural treats
• Intent to charm staff into compliance
• Operating without a snack permit
We urge all local residents to remain vigilant.
If you witnessed suspicious activity, unusual levels of charm or unexplained treat shortages, please come forward.
If approached, do not make eye contact unless you are prepared to surrender snacks.
Bristol Raw Dog will continue to cooperate with authorities and provide ongoing belly rubs where necessary.

🙏 Huge thanks to our customer for joining in the fun and helping with today’s “investigation.” This is why we love our community.

Please help, we are searching for this ASBO dog that was caught stealing from our shop before closing yesterday at approximately 2pm.
CCTV shows the suspect entering calmly, selecting a dried testicle with intent and fleeing the scene without payment.
No hesitation. No eye contact. Just crime.
If seen, do not approach without treats.

Another day, another Dalmatian. Always great to see this beautiful boy. It’s been a super busy Saturday - thanks to everyone that stopped by for food, treats, toys and supplies despite the awful weather once again. We are fed up of this wet and mud and we are sure you all are too! #bristolrawdog #dalmatian #saturday #pleasestopraining
Over the past few days we’ve seen some alarming headlines about bacteria in raw pet food. We’ll be honest, it’s disappointing to see things presented in a way that creates fear rather than understanding, so we wanted to share a bit of context from a team that handles pet food every single day and feed raw to our own dogs.
Bacteria are part of life. They’re in soil, on our skin, in our bodies and in many of the foods we prepare for our own families, from raw chicken and mince to eggs and fresh produce. Pet food is no different. The presence of bacteria doesn’t automatically mean something is dangerous. What matters is how food is handled, stored and prepared.
From time to time issues are found within the pet food chain. When that happens, products are traced and removed. That isn’t the system failing, it’s the system working to keep pets and households safe.
Dry foods aren’t immune either. Bacterial recalls have happened internationally. Kibble can also develop storage mites once opened if it isn’t kept in a cool, dry, airtight container. It’s a reminder that how we store and handle food at home matters whatever we choose to feed.
As raw feeders ourselves, we’re passionate about doing it properly. The biggest difference we can make is through simple hygiene. The same common-sense steps we use in our own kitchens apply to our dogs’ bowls:
• wash hands after handling
• clean bowls and utensils
• wipe down preparation surfaces
• defrost in the fridge
• store food properly, covered and chilled
• don’t leave food sitting out for long periods
Raw feeding, like handling any raw meat, comes with responsibility. With sensible practices and good sourcing, it can be managed safely, just as we manage raw food for our families every day.
Our role has always been to stock foods we trust, support informed choice and help people feed their dogs safely and confidently. That hasn’t changed.
If you ever want to chat about storage, hygiene or what’s right for your dog, we’re always here.

This gorgeous girlie stopped by for her raw food and a new kong toy. We always enjoy spending time with her, not only is she very pretty but she is the most loving and gentle soul. She always snuggles in for a proper cuddle. It’s safe to say that she left happy with a tummy full of treats. #dalmatian #beautiful #bristoldogs #bristolrawdog
This happy duo were our last customers of the day. They had the luxury of the place to themselves whilst they could sniff around and explore. They loved lots of fuss and treats - we hope to see you again soon @luna_and_gary_summers_togdogs #bristolrawdog #privateshopping #bristol #dogs #dogsarethebest
Just landed… brand new KONG toys 🐾
Fresh out of the box and already catching plenty of attention in store. These latest KONG designs are made with enthusiastic chewers in mind, reinforced for tougher play and built for proper interactive fun.
From bright ballistic characters to rope-ring tuggers, there’s something to suit every play style.
Pop in and let your dog pick their new favourite 💛
#bristolrawdog #kong #toys
Our @furbabynutritionltd freezer is packed with all of your dogs favourite chunky minces. We also have the new addition to our freezer of Beef Hearts - this one is going down so well with Zeus especially as heart mince is his favourite. We also have all size and flavour Yak chews back in stock. #bristolrawdog #fullfreezer #fbn
It feels so good to be home after what feels like the busiest Sunday since Christmas. So we are going to take an afternoon to rest. As lots of you are aware, we have practically crawled through the latter end of the week. We thank everyone for their patience today and we further apologise for waiting times. With that being said, we will be back open at 10am tomorrow and will hopefully feel a little more rested. #bristolrawdog #busy #sunday #😴
The best part out our job is watching all of your furry companions grow. Grow being the appropriate word for this now 80kg mastiff - at 10 months he hasn’t even finished! We have known these 2 since they were puppies and we are lucky to watch them mature into beautiful adolescents. Nice to see you all today ❤️ #bristolrawdog #glowup #mastiff #beagle
