The mobile vet idea started on May '17 with a home visit to Jio, a Maremma. Here they were used extensively to guard their flock against predators like wolves. They are very well suited for this role due to their protective nature and being suspicious of other animals or humans who are not from their mob. This particular morning I visited Jio for a health check and his annual immunizations. Despit

e him still being true to his nature, he was more "at home" and settled which made him a lot more fun to deal with. I drove away realising I see more pets that would appreciate a home visit just like Jio... and so the idea was born...

💡Did you know that kittens are all born with blue eyes? Their permanent eye colour, including yellow or amber, usually develops between 6 and 12 weeks of age! 🤯

Tasty snacks are often used to help cats feel safer, reduce stress, create positive associations with the clinic and make examinations gentler and more comfortable.

In for a consult at the clinic with Dr. Chris was Riggs- our IBD baby! 🐾

He demands his vet visit treats! 🗣️
🔧🍓 Food is used as a tool for distraction for Riggs whenever he comes to the vet or when he gets a house visit from us as his anxiety can get quite high in these circumstances.
He’s stimulated, focused, learning and best of all getting those nutritious treats from mum into his belly (his favourite part we’re sure!)

IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) is a condition where the digestive tract becomes chronically inflamed making it difficult for dogs to properly digest and absorb nutrients. It’s more than just a sensitive stomach!

🐶 Signs to Watch For

🔸Chronic or recurring diarrhoea
🔸Frequent vomiting
🔸Weight loss
🔸Reduced appetite
🔸Excessive gas or stomach gurgling
🔸Low energy

💡 Did you know that around 70% of your dog’s immune system is associated with the gut, which is one reason why maintaining good digestive health is so important for their overall wellbeing!

Everybody meet the handsome, the one and only.. Riggs! 🐶

Riggs suffers from IBD and in short his diet has a direct correlation to his quality of life. His mum and dad have put in an incredible amount of effort with home cooked meals and vitamin supplements to keep him looking this handsome and feeling this happy!
We thought we’d share their secret 🤫

Riggs’ Recipe! 🥬🥕
🔸 1x large butternut pumpkin
🔸 2x medium sized zucchinis
🔸 3x medium sized carrots
🔸 2x large white potatoes (or a whole sweet potato)
🔸 1x bouquet of Buk choy (or Pak choy)
🔸 1kg of wild harvested venison mince (Riggs has recently had a switch to canned Ziwi Peak venison for extra omega 3’s!)
🔸 1x teaspoon of ground turmeric (added in at the end once everything is cooked and ready to combine)

What next? 🧑‍🍳⏲️
▫️Cut all the vegetables up and cook in a saucepan until soft
▫️ Cook the venison meat separately and nice and slowly (if using the mince!)
▫️Once everything is all cooked- combine together 🥣

Goodies to go on top? 🍬
🔸 5ml of Vitamin i5 sprinkled on top of food just before feeding
🔸 1 small pump of Mighty Munch fish oil on top as well just before feeding
🧡 These added goodies provide essential vitamins and minerals as well as essential omega 3’s that could be lacking in some home cooked meals.
And boy, does Riggs not leave a scrap behind! 🤤

But what about snacks? Can’t use normal dog treats for your dog either?
Riggs’ parents have you covered there too!
🫐🍓🥚 A healthy daytime snack they make for him is a fruit platter with strawberries, blueberries and sometimes a boiled egg for extra protein.
☀️ And for those really hot days, Riggs gets puréed watermelon with coconut milk poured onto his lick mat to put in the freezer for a cold, refreshing and IBD friendly treat.

📸 Thank you to Riggs’ mum and dad for sharing some photos with us to share with all of you. Having a dog with dietary needs can be overwhelming at times, but it doesn’t have to be difficult!

🐕🍽️ Is your dog’s dinner bowl the right size?

Portion control isn’t just about preventing weight gain. It’s about supporting joint health, reducing the risk of disease, maintaining energy levels and helping your dog live a longer, happier life 🧡

Obesity is linked to conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and respiratory problems.

This is Joel! 🐶 A happy healthy Labrador.
Joel’s owners portion his food to his weight and energy requirements, including lots of fresh veggies for snacks to keep him lean! 🥦🥕

Did you know?
🔬 Research has found that some Labrador Retrievers have a gene variation linked to increased appetite and food-seeking behaviour. In other words, your Lab may genuinely feel hungrier than many other dog breeds! 😱

If you’re unsure how much your pet should be eating, your vet can assess their body condition to figure out their dietary needs 🐾
