Health & Wellbeing

Want to extend the time you have with your dog

We help people understand about dog health and wellbeing by looking at the environment your dog lives in, their activity levels, toxic exposure, medication use and most importantly nutrition .

How we can help you and your dog

We will help you weave your way through all the information out there to help you to choose better brands to use for your dog and also assist in raw food feeding if you are new to this and unsure how to convert your pooch from commercially over processed food/kibble to a healthier diet. 
We will also support you while you go through the process of changing your dogs diet, so you know what to expect and don’t worry.
We can recommend foods to add to your dogs kibble/processed food to help add in nutritional rich extras to slowly change over and give you the peace of mind that your pooch is getting added nutrients to their diet.
We can help with recommending supplements and vital nutrients your dog should be getting in their diet on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.
No commercial dog food can be complete but we can add things to increase the nutritional benefits as we transition your dogs diet.
We know that all ills (same for hoomans) start in the gut, the gut microbiome needs to be at optimum to allow the healing process to start and this can work for you too (not the raw stuff but all the other added goodies)
  • Many dogs are experiencing allergies, and their owners often feel uncertain about how to alleviate their discomfort.
  • Evaluating your pet's nutrition and their daily environmental exposure can be instrumental in reducing the underlying causes and symptoms of their allergies. By making informed decisions about what goes into your pet's body, on them and the elements they encounter regularly, can significantly improve their well-being.
  • Using natural remedies for your dog can have several benefits, including promoting a healthier gut microbiome and minimising potential negative side effects associated with overmedication. It can also be a cost-effective alternative. Choosing a more holistic approach to your dog's well-being can lead to a happier and healthier life for your furry companion.
  • Progressive vets are taking a more holistic approach to pets wellbeing, looking at the pets lifestyle, diet, nutrition, exercise, exposure to toxins, vaccinations and how they all play a major role in our pets longevity and wellness.

    A lot of pets are experiencing the same diseases we humans are and more and more scientific literature is coming out to show diets are a key part of this. Food can be our medicine or our poison, the same for our pets. I will share all the information I am glening from fully qualified veterinarians and the links to their sites, books and podcasts. It is a super exciting time for our pets wellbeing and one big major factor to come out of this is that kibble / dried foods are not an appropriate diet for our pets. We have been sold a lie by the manufacture's of kibble, no food can be complete or balanced and dried kibble is high in carbohydrates / grain / seed (bad) quality oils. Kibble is massively ultra processed, over-heated and refined which kills all (if any in there to start with) nutrients our pets need. Our pets (dogs I am mostly researching but cats are the same as well) only need 10% carbohydrates in their diet and grain is not something a dog would ever eat, most dried kibble has 20% + (more 40%) carbohydrates. A dogs nutrition should be made mostly of bone/meat/fat/organs with pulverised vegetables and fruit.

    I would highly recommend wet (not tinned)/fresh/natural food that has had minimal to no processing (low heat treated) and more so raw. I will share all the information I have searched up on this and recommend people's books to read and podcasts to listen to. Ultimately it is your choice as the pet owner but if we know what our pets should be eating for health, then why wouldn't we want them to have this. It will save money in the long run with vet bills and you will have your dog with you for longer.

    If a dog is on kibble, make sure you wet the food as it can have a massive dehydrating effect on your pet and pets should get most of their fluid from food which they cannot do with kibble. You can add real food to kibble - meat/fish/vegetables/herbs/spices to add some nutrition to the kibble. Then look to switch to minimal processed, low heat real food (think Butternut box - I will be searching up brands and offering recommendations but it is important to switch up the brand you use to get real variety in your dogs nutrition, then you can take advantage of the discounts and offers they do) or better still raw (even some raw is good - raw chicken wings/legs to start - freeze them and get them out the day before to feed poochy. Never leave this out make sure they are eaten straight away, if left then throw it away). I will share a great comparison site for you (on my blog page) to check the best commercial products out there and information on how to make your own. I am super excited to be able to share this information and I hope you feel empowered on how to properly look after your dogs wellness, just think of the money you will save at the vet.....!

    Switching from kibble to wet-fresh-minimal processed/raw feeding will help digestion, skin issues, energy, coat, eyes, and much more. Always consult your own vet and becareful with dogs that have long term illness as they will need extra thought when switching up their diet.
