My gorgeous girl has been struggling quite a bit with her arthritis lately 😕

Blu is 11 years old, so she gets a thorough check-up with her favourite vet, Shona every month, along with a Librela injection to help manage her pain. She also has regular hydrotherapy, laser therapy and physio sessions with the fab team at 🐾

Despite all of this and because we’re limited in the anti-inflammatories she can take (due to her kidney disease), her joints remain very inflamed, causing mobility issues which is very tough to see.

After discussing her options with her primary vet and rehabilitation team, we decided to try acupuncture in the hope of giving her some additional pain relief.

Blu now has regular sessions with the wonderful Donal at If you look closely at this photo, you’ll spot the tiny purple needles in her back. They stay in place for around 10–15 minutes and are used to help reduce pain and inflammation.

Seeing her slow down has been hard, but she’s still as sweet and determined as ever. We’re doing everything we can to keep her comfortable and enjoying life 💙🐾

P.S. Thank goodness for pet insurance 😅

Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, especially during days like this! Enjoy the sun and stay safe! 🐾

🤍 Bella 🤍

Beautiful Bella crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday at the incredible age of nearly 16.

Blu and Ruby’s fav cousin, the third amigo in their wonderfully troublesome little trio. Together they brought chaos, laughter, and so many unforgettable moments. You can bet if Bella made an escape from her house, 9 times out of 10, she’d be found outside my front door waiting to come into play.

I feel privileged to have been there with her and her family as she took her final breath, and I just know my angel fur-baby Rubes was waiting to greet her over the rainbow 🌈

Run free now, sweet Bella. You’ll always be the third amigo, always part of the gang, and always so deeply loved 🤍

Remembering my lovely client Oscar today 🌈

He crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday after a long, beautiful well-lived life, nearly 17 years old 🐾
