This episode I am joined by Hannah, an old friend with a big heart - especially when it comes to her beloved pets. To celebrate raising awareness of how having pets can impact our mental health, we are exploring both the highs and lows that come with adopting the role as a pet parent.

Join us as we navigate becoming a parent and falling down the rabbit hole, caring for our pets as individuals, celebrating the lives of our senior pups, the heartbreak of pet loss and losing puppies too soon, and dealing with the anxiety we experience when our pets have health issues,

Such a heartfelt episode that also shows us how important it is to take every small win as we venture through life with our beloved companions!

Today I am joined by Steph - a fresh feeding fanatic who has been on a fast-forwarded raw and natural journey since January this year with her lab Echo. Today we're chatting about the reasons why Steph has done a full turnaround in the way she looks at food in general which has stemmed from doing her research into the darker side of pet food since Echo was diagnosed with a lipoma late last year.

Since December, Steph has discovered problems with pet food and the way we live our lives that has ignited a spark to learn more about the benefits of fresh food so that she can do better for her family and for Echo - a flame that motivates us all. From pet food to raw food to DIY - her 5 month journey is inspirational as she shines with nothing but confidence in her choices of change.

Join us as we deep dive into the reasons why we turn to raw and natural feeding and what it's like when we get there!

Today I am chatting with Michelle from Freddie and Friends Dog Training. Join us as we dive deep into the world of catering to the needs of our precious senior dogs through the wonderful world of fresh & raw food. We're discussing what foods are best to support our dog's as they age, how fresh food helps them adjust to ageing but keeps them young; and of course a few of the issues with commercial 'senior dog food'. Aging doesn't have to be something that your dog suffers with - you just have to know how to support them through it!

In today's Dog Walk Daily I explain why I no longer use 80/10/10 mixes when feeding my dogs their raw food. These views are based on personal experiences I had with my dogs in trying to find balance with their meals that suited their needs based on bone content, food sensitivities and all rounded nutrition. For me, we need to be doing more than 80/10/10's when it comes to dog nutrition, and unless you know the exact ratio of the raw components in your 80/10/10 mix it's hard to know if your dog is getting enough...that's not to say you need to do DIY - but you 100% need additional extras.

Today I am rambling about how dealing with the different problems with food and health over the years with my boys has helped me to really get to know them inside out and gives me the information I need to make decisions in their best interest as new circumstances arise. I'm sharing the ways in which you can utilise little habits to help you gather the information you need for your Dogs life log just by observing them in their daily life which can help you in the long run should any problems arise!

Dog walk daily is my new shorts show where I discuss the natural ways we can adapt our lifestyles to benefit our dogs.

To kick off the new season we're exploring how we can make our own dehydrated treats for our dogs from whole foods, so that we can reduce the toxic load they are exposed to on a daily basis. Lots of treats available in large pet shops and supermarkets contain low quality ingredients and chemical preservatives that can have detrimental impacts on our dogs health.

Deceptive marketing from pet food companies can mislead us into thinking that certain treats are healthy options by concealing or splitting ingredients, and it can become quite confusing and overwhelming when trying to find healthy options.

By dehydrating your own dog treats you can take control over the quality over what foods your dog eats giving you peace of mind that your dog is eating guilt free, wholefoods that will promote their health instead of hinder it... and it will save you money in the long run!

If you have any questions about dehydrating dog treats or would like some tips on how to do it - check out my Instagram or send me a DM!

Have a great day Pet Parents, & say Hi to your Pups from me! 🐾

This is my dehydrator 🥩

Today I am discussing how making connections in my Dog Borris' epilepsy history helped me pinpoint that my own stress was having an impact on his condition. Looking after our own mental health helps our Dogs - we are deeply connected to them and the slightest change in our presence can have profound impacts on their health and behaviour.

Join me today for part 2 of my exploration into how the 'friendly bacteria' in our dogs gut can have a direct influence on their mood, cognition, behaviour and brain development. This episode looks at studies using food to influence behaviour and ways which we can help support our dogs through times of stress.

Hope you love it! 🐾
