Cue up cabbage! There’s a lot more to cabbage than coleslaw and sauerkraut! This underutilised gem is a nutritious, versatile, accessible, and affordable addition to your dog's diet. It has a long storage life and most dogs love it (in moderations 💨)

Say hello to Bingo! This was him after a trek in the Negev desert. 🐶 🐾 ☀️ His owner also shared a few photos of his very first home-cooked batch, complete with pots, bowls and the happy chaos that comes with it. 😆 To anyone who’s just started out with home cooking, it might feel a little overwhelming at first, but I promise it gets much easier (and quicker!) after a couple of cooks. 🙌 ❤️

Copper is a trace mineral, but getting the balance right matters. 🐾 Too little — and red blood cell production and coat health suffer. Too much — and it can damage the liver over time.

Dusty takes her walks very seriously, especially when there’s a ball involved - but it must be the orange and blue ones, not the blue and orange ones! Don’t ask me how she knows — she just does! 🤓

The Benefits (and Risks) of Fat-Soluble Vitamins 🐾 Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins, meaning they’re stored in your dog’s body fat and liver instead of being removed in urine. 🐶 ⚠️ Because they build up over time, too much can be harmful – this is especially seen when dogs are fed excess liver or cod liver oil. Vitamin A 👉 Supports vision, skin, and immune health Vitamin D 👉 Helps regulate calcium and bone strength Vitamin E 👉 Protects cells with antioxidant power Vitamin K 👉 Essential for normal blood clotting

Gut health isn’t just about the microbiome - the metabolome is the key player. ⭐

Dogs do so much to enrich our lives, and I’d love to introduce you to some of my wonderful clients. Say hello to Murphy. He’s smart, playful, and incredibly well-mannered – everywhere he goes, people can’t help but fuss about him! ❤️

Carrots aren’t just for juicing and healthy eyes! 👀 Carrots are famous for their beta-carotene and vision support, but they bring so much more to the bowl. 🐶 👉 Natural fibre for happy digestion 👉 Antioxidants for overall health 👉 Crunchy, low-calorie snack for dogs 👉 Extra hydration (they’re 88% water!) Raw, steamed, grated, or pureed — however you serve them, carrots are a simple, healthy boost for both you and your dog! 🥕
