When I received a message about ‘Fidel the Chihuahua and Crew’s’ Dad needing help to transition his 12 rescue dogs from raw to plant-based, I was delighted as I would get to meet them one by one during a single teleconsult.

The teleconsult was for dearest little Paddy who is 14 and suffers from heart disease. His Dad was so concerned about how lethargic he had become. It was during this teleconsult that I was to appreciate a bond that he had with every one of his 12 rescue dogs that was just so lovely to see. Each time a new Chihuahua would appear on his lap as he spoke, and each one would look at him adoringly and savour their special time alone with him away from the others below. They would lick his chin and face with pure contentment. What a pleasure to help him with his lucky pack of 12 adored dogs!

Here are his words….

“Thank you for the encouragement, advice and support as we transitioned our family of 12 dogs over to Vegan from Raw. What a transformation! Gone are those intolerance related skin issues: their coats are superb; energy levels noticeably improved, and such a joy to feel relaxed about being licked knowing they no longer harbour all the nasty bugs prevalent in a raw diet!

It is simply amazing how upset tummies seem to be a thing of the distant past!

Most of all we want to thank you for Paddy – almost 14, a tiny little guy who lives with heart failure. We were told last year he had a couple of months left at best. Thanks to the Teleconsults with you specifically for him, he is nothing short of a ‘miracle’!

From a dog that at times seemed so debilitated with almost no energy and a really bad cardiac cough, he now literally runs around again like a puppy – bright eyed and bushy tailed and his cough is so diminished we barely notice it!

Before the transition there were times he simply did not want to eat – now he is back to scoffing down his meals: a little vegan kibble topped with home made plant-based food, with the Just Be Kind supplement giving him those vital pre- and probiotics, and of course the Omega 3 oil.

PS Their poops are a masterclass in faecal perfection now😂”
