Why do I feel so passionate about arthritis in our dogs?
My biggest regret as a plant powered vet, is not having known what I know now when we owned our previous family dog Slick - a darling black Labrador shown below.
She gave me the confidence to start running again, when as a young vet student in the early 90's, I was attacked by a man while out jogging, and our Bearded Collie at the time called Biddy was no help at all! 15 years later and 4 children later, I was desperate to start running (or jogging) again, and we adopted the sweetest black Labrador Slick who was to be our first family dog. As soon as she was old enough; she became my running buddy as we both just adored being outdoors and running for miles along country lanes!
Slick was fed an ordinary meat-based diet (usually the one with the best offer on Amazon!), as like most vets, I knew NOTHING about dog nutrition for most of my career and I had not yet discovered the goodness of veganism for us and our dogs!! I know that she would have thrived and loved a plant-based diet and that is one of my biggest regrets, is not having fed her properly!!
Another big regret, is not knowing what I now know about joint supplements and giving the correct supplements at the correct levels. Slick went on to develop such severe arthritis in her final few years of life (I blame all the running she did with me), but I also blame myself for not knowing enough about nutrition then to truly help her - all I knew about was drugs as that is all we are taught, but they were not enough!
How I wish I had given her the Omega 3 Daily Algae oil full of high levels of EPA that actually change a joint's structure at the gene level (wow how amazing is that?!) and giving it as a pure microalgae instead of being through a fish liver full of the toxins and heavy metals found in fish; she would have done SO well on it and lived a longer healthier life - I am SO sure of that!!!
Read some stories below of a few wonderful dogs having their health transformed naturally and kindly -
"Basil is notorious for skipping the whole walk on his back legs due to them popping around inside, but in the 2.5 months he's been taking the joint powder duo we have noticed he is a lot nimbler and can walk for longer bursts using both his back legs on the ground" - Read more about Basil the dachshund here
"I have already seen an improvement in Marx. He is walking for longer again now, running again, and I have taken him off the paracetamol. He was zooming in the park so much last week, another dog owner asked me what I give him!" - Read more about Labrador/Boxer cross Marx here
💚 "Millie just loves the Gold Dust Joint and Heart Supplement, it's wonderful, there is a definite change in her, much more bouncy almost like her young self. How I wish we had had more confidence to have fed her a vegan diet from the very beginning!” - Read more about Millie the rescue German Shepherd here
"By day three she seemed to move a little more easily and jumped around in the park a lot more. By day five, she was bounding up the stairs, seems calmer and her ear inflammation seems to be reducing.
Currently, she seems to have more energy, there is a lot less stiffness in her hips (the main issue for her joints) and able to move more freely.
I simply cannot believe this!" - Read more about Inca's dramatic changes here
