Retired WMP Dogs

A big thank you to everyone that has been involved with and supported the Benevolent Fund over the past 11 years. We now look forward to supporting @The_NFRSA in any way we can to ensure service animals are supported in their retirement.

Good Luck to Jane running the London Landmarks Half Marathon today 🏃‍♀️‍➡️ @The_NFRSA

Amazing photos, and an excellent display.

As you all know the wonderful @RetiredWMP_Dog will be joining our family in a few weeks, and one of their final fundraisers will be Jane Marsh who is running the London Landmark Half Marathon. Please support this brave lady and make it an amazing finale for a fantastic charity who has done so much for retired dogs from @WMPDogs. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/J…

@RPD2025STELLA @The_NFRSA Thank you Claire for the kind words I’m sure it was the right decision. Hope you’re on the mend and hopefully see you around sometime in the future.

@The_NFRSA @Crufts @RetiredWMP_Dog @WMPDogs @WMPolice Terry you have be incredible supporting the retired dogs for so long, a big decision to make but totally understandable as the dogs will be in safe hands with the @The_NFRSA 🐾🐾

We were incredibly proud to announce @crufts today the @RetiredWMP_Dog, run brilliantly by Terry Grove for the last ten years, will be merging with the NFRSA. This extraordinary charity has taken care of retired dogs from @WMPDogs and @WMPolice since 2013, and Terry has decided the time is right to hand the baton onto us. We’re very grateful to him for his faith in us, for the warm welcome extended to our family by @WMPDogs and we promise to carry on the legacy with the same passion Terry has had for over a decade. @WMPDogs made a wonderful presentation to Terry in the main arena @Crufts today, and we were hugely honoured to be invited to also say thank you. Here’s to the future together. 💜🐾💜 #dogs #police #policedogs #policedog #serviceanimals #retiredpolicedogs #westmidlands #Dogsofx #dog #family #teamwork #Crufts

A bit of an insight into what goes into one of our displays at Crufts.

@SpanielNugget @Crufts @RetiredWMP_Dog @ACPippaMills @Chappers2013 We were so happy to see you Nugget. And to know you’re back to your normal self. Xxx

Dear friends, we have two amazing announcements this week. (Long post - please bear with us, but it’s so exciting!). The first is… We are absolutely delighted to announce a new partnership with @PercuroEarth - a unique and amazing dog food that is not only incredibly nutritious, but also hugely eco-friendly. 🐾🐾🐾🐾 Their best points: There is no agricultural animal content (beef/pork/chicken/lamb), the protein is all insect based. The oils used avoid salmon (farmed salmon is filled with antibiotics), instead Percuro contains natural eco-friendly algae oil and extra virgin olive oil. Their food is all anti-inflammatory, and has extra goodies like peas and 100% plant-based nutrients. The insects themselves are fed on vegetable waste which as a result doesn’t go into landfill. Recycling our unwanted greens! There are no allergens, so NO wheat, dairy, corn, rice, or soy. Because of this, there is no need to have an ‘anti-allergenic recipe’ - everything they produce is anti-allergenic. Automatically. There are no artificial flavours, additives, or preservatives. It’s easily digestible. It contains naked oats, and Omega 3 and 6, to promote healthy skin and coats. For older dogs this will be such a boost, not just the food itself, but also the anti-inflammatory ingredients, plus it contains chamomile to help calm. More and more vets are recommending this new way of producing high protein/low maintenance food. To help the planet even more, 99% less water is used compared to some brands to produce their food. The food is all sourced from Europe, so no long distance imports, and using recyclable packaging means Percuro is highly sustainable. 🐾🐾🐾🐾 We are so excited about this new friendship, because on top of it being a top quality kibble food, packed with goodness, @PercuroEarth are helping the NFRSA too. They are supplying their amazing food to EVERY retired dog registered with the NFRSA at cost, plus shipping. Dogs just like PD Gunner and PD Hans (in the photo), who will soon be retiring from @WMPDogs We don’t promise free food, but we are giving access to an AMAZING food, at cost. This will mean a huge saving for the NFRSA family, but at the same time, offering them the opportunity to have access to a top quality food. Percuro Earth will make a donation to the NFRSA for every bag sold, which is incredibly generous. They are also donating free food to four of our family members, all who have individual health challenges, just to show how fantastic their kibble is. We’ll update you with videos to see how they’re getting on. We are so proud to be working with a producer of dog food that will not only make a difference to the animals it sustains, but also it will make a difference to the planet. Lady B has her young lab on the puppy recipe and she LOVES it. And judging by the way every dog scoffed down their crunchy treats at the @Crufts stand today, we rather suspect it’s going to be a big hit with everyone. Please check them out. *Note to all our family members, we will be issuing you with a special code soon, so you can get ordering!* percuro.earth #dogs #dog #dogfood #eco #ecofriendly #petfood #doglover #lovedogs #PlanetEarth #Sustainability #sustainable #insect #protein #dogsarefamily

Day 2 @crufts complete. What an amazing time we had. Slightly overwhelmed with the love and support we’ve been shown by so many people. The fantastic officers from @WMPDogs -@RetiredWMP_Dog - @WMPolice - @K999Cops - @WMerciaPolice have been beyond welcoming and we couldn’t be more grateful. We had volunteers and helpers from all over the country, @MODPolice @wmfsUsarDog @DogsHmpps and our @ukhomeoffice Border Force, who worked tirelessly to support us. Wonderful to see so many friends, old and new. A truly humbling experience, and we are forever thankful to everyone. 💜🐾💜

We are so looking forward to @Crufts this year. We are the guests of @WMPDogs alongside @RetiredWMP_Dog and will be in Hall 3a - stand 49a - come and say hello! We’ve got a fabulous Tombola with loads of doggie goodies. And we have two major announcements to make - so stay tuned!

Sleep well PD Justice. Thank you for your service. Our thoughts are with everyone @WMPDogs , & in particular his handler and family. 💜🐾💜

Thank you to @SpanielNugget’s Dad who was incredibly kind and shared his story of us helping lovely RPD Nugget with @westmidspolfed news. We weren’t expecting it at all, & hugely appreciate it. We did this very much hand in hand with our colleagues @RetiredWMP_Dog who support retired dogs from @WMPDogs @WMPolice and were happy for us to help Nugget. #teamwork 💜🐾💜 polfed.org/westmids/lates… #dog #dogs #retiredpolicedogs #retiredserviceanimals #animals #animalwelfare #animalhealth #charity #servicedogs #police #policedog #policedogs #animalcharity #workingdogs #dogswithjobs #serviceanimals #animalwelfaresupport #animalhealthmatters #nonprofit #dogslife #dogsofx #dogsonx

Here’s retired PD Scooby who is 12 years young today. We recently helped cover the veterinary costs to remove a growth on his right eye and pleased to say all now seems well. Happy Birthday Scooby!

It was a splendid day. Thank you for making us so welcome. @WMPDogs @RetiredWMP_Dog @WMPolice
