Rescue Bruno Loves Benevo!
Bruno is an 8 year old Staffy who had been in a rescue centre for some time due to being an ‘elderly boy’, but his new owners were won over when they saw him and he settled in so well to his new home in Cheshire. I met him via a Zoom teleconsult and he won me over too – in just 2 weeks, the adoration he had for his 2 new owners was so heartwarming to see!
He had not been badly treated, he had been looked after well, but came from a home with a large number of dogs and he was used to being fed on cheap tinned meat-based dog food and table scraps in his previous home.
His new owners adopted him knowing that they wanted him to be plant-based to fit in with their sustainable lifestyle and eat the way they did. They tried cooking for him – delicious homemade food kindly prepared by them and full of wholefood ingredients, but all that Bruno wanted to eat was Benevo cat/dog tinned food.
His ‘food association’ was processed food from a tin as that is what he had been used to all his life!
“Thank you so much for the advice you gave us regarding feeding Bruno by adding the Just Be Kind supplement to the Benevo cat/dog tinned food that he loves. His coat is so shiny after only a few weeks, and he is full of energy!
We are just so pleased with our rescue boy looking so happy!”

Get rid of the dog!
The contestants had no idea that the family dog, fed two predominantly animal meat-based meals a day, was contributing to more carbon emissions that either the car or the human family meals!
