Keep Your Dog Moving Comfortably

Is your dog slowing down, struggling to get up, or showing signs of stiff joints?

Technyflex Canine is a natural joint support supplement designed to help maintain healthy joints, mobility, and overall wellbeing. Formulated with naturally occurring compounds that support cartilage, joint lubrication, and healthy inflammatory responses, it may help dogs experiencing:

• Stiffness and reduced mobility
• Difficulty getting up after resting
• Limping or favouring a leg
• Reduced activity or playfulness
• Age-related joint discomfort

Why pet owners choose Technyflex:
✔ Supports joint health and cartilage maintenance
✔ Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids
✔ Naturally sourced ingredients
✔ Suitable for long-term use
✔ Helps keep active dogs moving comfortably

Whether you have a senior companion or an active dog that loves adventures, supporting their joints today can help them stay comfortable for years to come.

🐰 Look what’s hopped into store this week… 🐰

These beautiful Mini Lop cross rabbits have arrived and are already winning hearts!

Friendly, curious, and full of personality, these little ones are looking for loving homes where they can thrive. Rabbits are intelligent animals that enjoy space to explore, enrichment, and plenty of interaction, making them a rewarding companion for the right family.

As always, we’re happy to talk through housing, diet, and ongoing care to help ensure they’re the right fit for your home.

A quick note to those who have previously been on our rabbit waitlist — we sincerely apologise if we haven’t contacted you. Unfortunately, we’ve misplaced part of our waitlist records and may have missed some names. If you’ve been waiting for rabbits, please send us a message so we can get in touch with you directly.

Pop in and meet them while they’re here!

📍 Paws & Claws Manawatū

Animal welfare comes first. We may ask questions about housing and care requirements to help ensure the best outcome for both you and your new companion.

People often ask what it’s like running a small business.

Honestly?

No glamorous shortcuts. No overnight success stories. Just a lot of hard work behind the scenes that most people never see.

It’s spending a long weekend moving shelves around for hours because you’ve run out of room again.

It’s changing plans halfway through.
It’s lifting things twice because the first idea didn’t work.
It’s finishing tired, sore, and covered in dust.

But it’s also watching something grow.

Every new product.
Every new customer.
Every kid that walks through the door excited to see the animals.
Every hobbyist that trusts us with their passion.

We’ve learnt that not everyone is going to support what you do.

Some people will cheer you on.
Some people will criticise from the sidelines.

But at the end of the day, we’re still here.

Showing up.
Learning.
Growing.
Trying to be better than we were yesterday.

This store wasn’t built overnight.

It’s been built one customer, one conversation, one lesson, and one long day at a time.

And honestly?

We wouldn’t have it any other way.
