True story & actual statistics.

Don’t let anyone convince you that dry kibble is safer to feed your pet over minimally processed pet food.

In the past 5 years, over 69 million pounds of pet food have been recalled. The leading cause was mold contamination (aflatoxins), accounting for 60 million pounds, all from ultra-processed kibble.

The second most common reason was bacterial contamination. 8 million pounds were recalled due to harmful bacteria like Salmonella and Listeria. Kibble made up 97.7% of these recalls.

Refrigerated cooked foods accounted for 1.4%

Raw pet food was even lower, at just 0.7%

When it comes to safety, the data is clear: minimally processed pet food isn’t the risk—ultra-processed kibble is.

🌱 Emmarentia friends — your voice is urgently needed!

The City of Johannesburg has opened public participation on a proposed land-use policy that affects ALL land donated or bequeathed to the City — including beloved public spaces like:
🌳 Johannesburg Botanical Gardens
🦆 Emmarentia Dam
🏃‍♂️ Mark’s Park
🌾 And surrounding green lungs

Our own family farm, which was donated to the City with the intention that it be preserved for public use and ecological wellbeing, now stands at risk of being repurposed under this new policy framework.

💥 This is a critical moment. If you care about keeping these natural, open, accessible spaces protected, please take 2 minutes to submit your voice via the official public participation form:

📅 Deadline: Friday, 12 July 2024
📣 Your voice matters — especially if you're a Joburg resident.
Please share this widely — our parks, our heritage, and our future depend on it. 💚

🧠 Mental Stimulation – Challenge Builds Confidence

A bored mind leads to frustrated behavior. Mental stimulation gives your dog something to do — it engages their brain, builds confidence, and nurtures a calm, thinking state.

Training, puzzles, scent work, problem-solving games — all of these spark your dog’s natural intelligence and deepen the bond between you.

🌀 Movement is Medicine 🐾

Dogs are built to move — not just to burn off energy, but to regulate emotion, release stress, and feel grounded in their bodies.

A structured walk (minimum 20 minutes, ideally more depending on breed and age) is non-negotiable.

Letting them run in the yard is not a replacement — it’s a great additional movement, but it doesn’t fulfill their need for exploration, scent tracking, and purposeful flow.

🦴 A walk brings rhythm.
🦴 It sharpens focus.
🦴 It creates calm.

Whether it’s the park, the bush, or your neighborhood, movement restores balance and makes your dog more present and receptive to learning.
