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!”

Ruff has a dental
I do feel very bad as a vet having a 5 year old dog with such bad dental tartar! Like 90% of the UK dog population, he has eaten….
I just feel exhausted
I am SO thankful for being vegan and appreciating everything good and healthy in my life and today I made vegan dog food…..and it was delicious!!
Has it been difficult being a vegan these last 6 weeks?
I have found it far easier than I ever imagined and in a way, I do wish I had done it a long time ago!
I learnt about ‘Millenials’
My son represents a true ‘Millenial’ as I learn from one of the lectures I attended at Vetfest that was given by the Head Nurse at Fitzpatrick Referrals

He is such a lovely man and I felt a little ‘starstruck’ when I stopped to speak to him about what he had said in one of his talks
My friend is going to be fine
