About The Paw-works: Your Partner in Holistic Pet Health

Founded to support our breeding clients and course attendees, The Paw-works began by offering a select range of supplements and first aid kits. In 2021, we expanded our offerings to include a broader lineup of natural products and launched our first retail website—making our carefully chosen pet essentials available to animal lovers everywhere.

Our Holistic Approach

At The Paw-works, our core belief is that pets deserve a healthy lifestyle supported by natural, chemical-free products. We partner with suppliers who share these values, ensuring every item in our shop is free from harsh additives or synthetic nasties. Our goal is to provide a one-stop shop for your pet’s holistic healthcare needs, from soothing bath-time essentials to supportive supplements that can complement any veterinary treatments.

Pet-Safe Household Products

We understand that holistic pet care extends beyond diet and grooming. That’s why we also stock a selection of pet-safe household products, helping you maintain a clean, healthy environment for your furry family members.

Canine First Aid & Ethical Breeding Courses

Looking to boost your knowledge? Our Classroom website offers a range of canine first aid and ethical canine breeding courses. These comprehensive programs are available both in-person—primarily around East Anglia—and online via a dedicated e-learning platform. Simply visit the Classroom page on our website to find links and get started.

Always Consult Your Vet

Please note that the products on our site are complementary and are not intended to replace professional veterinary care. Always consult your veterinarian before introducing new supplements or complementary treatments to your pet’s routine.

Whether you’re browsing for holistic dog care items, seeking a top-quality pet first aid kit, or wanting to learn more about ethical canine breeding, The Paw-works is here to support you and your pet every step of the way.

I’ve owned dogs since 1988, bred Canadian champions and Crufts qualifiers. I’ve helped and advised many people on breeding their dogs, whelping and puppy rearing, as well as working in rescue for bull breeds and English springer spaniels. I have a wealth of experience breeding and rearing terriers, gundogs and pedigree cats. I currently own 3 clumber spaniels including Stiegl’s Mum and half brother. Over the years I have experienced the best and worst of breeders and now want to help people avoid the mistakes I have made. I am also trained in pet pregnancy ultrasound and canine first-aid.
