I'm Vicky — founder of Storm’s Raw Emporium — and I run the business alongside Ian (my partner in life and chaos), plus our two wonderful dogs, Myst and Taz.

​

Myst was our first dog, and like most new owners, we fed what we thought was best at the time — kibble, wet food, the usual options. She’s a typical Border Collie: smart, stubborn, and not afraid to turn her nose up at anything she didn’t fancy. Mealtimes were often a battle.

Then Storm came into our lives. And everything changed.

​

From the start, Storm had constant issues with food. I’ll spare you the details, but let’s just say it wasn’t pretty — and no matter what we tried, nothing worked. We went through every type of dry and wet food we could find, eliminated ingredients, tried cold-pressed, grain-free... nothing helped.

​

Then someone said, “Why don’t you try raw?”

​

I had no idea what I was doing, but we gave it a go — and it was a complete game changer. Storm’s symptoms cleared up, she finally started thriving… and even fussy Myst started eating better too.

​

But I had questions — lots of them. Was I doing it right? Was it balanced? Could I do more?

So I went back to school.

​

Over the last few years, I’ve specialised in species-appropriate feeding and spent countless hours learning everything I could about natural nutrition. I’m now a qualified Canine Nutritionist and Herbal Practitioner — which means I can support you with everything from everyday feeding to complex skin, gut, or allergy issues.

​

Storm’s Raw Emporium was built out of love and necessity. Storm has since passed away, but her legacy lives on through this business. These days, Myst is enjoying her golden years, and our youngest, Taz (a mad lurcher with endless energy), has been raw-fed from day one — as was her mum.
