As we sat to eat our family christmas meal with 50% of our family feasting on a delicious vegan meal and 50% of our family eating the traditional turkey meat, we listened to the Queen’s speech and felt very uplifted.

Her message offered one of hope with a hint at the passionate Greta Thunberg. The Queen said in her message: ‘The challenges many people face today may be different to those once faced by my generation, but I have been struck by how new generations have brought a similar sense of purpose to issues such as protecting our environment and our climate.’

She also mentioned the 50th anniversary of the moon landing where her words to this were – ‘It’s a reminder for us all that giant leaps often start with small steps.’

This remains the ethos behind our homemade vegan dog food. These small steps transitioning our dogs to a healthier, more ethical and sustainable plant-based diet in non-plastic packaging can lead to giant leaps in the future of our pet’s and our planet’s health.

This is the first year that we have sat down to a family christmas with our little dog Ruff eating a vegan diet and my first christmas as a vegan vet. I can honestly say that I did not feel in anyway deprived and I certainly missed nothing animal-based as there is SO much out there to eat that is healthy and sustainable and kind.

Ruff was treated to a new bed and new feeding bowl and he too looked as content as always with the shiniest coat we have ever seen him having, so as a family we are even more convinced that feeding the pure plant-based diet to our little Ruff is the correct decision all round!
