What has Nigel done to benefit his elderly dogs?
💚 All 11 of his dogs are fed a 100% plant-based diet. They are fed a mixture of Give A Dog A Bean, Solo Vegetal and home cooked food with added Omega 3 Algae oil which provides the correct level of DHA to enhance nerve function and delay doggy dementia, as well as EPA to provide joint comfort for elderly joints.
💚 When home cooking, Nigel makes up a 'broth' of various colours using caballo nero kale, carrots, green beans, celery, peas, fresh parsley, and sweet potato mixed with some nutritional yeast. This is mixed with Give A Dog A Bean tinned food to make it last longer and add in those extra whole food ingredients.
💚 He has booked quite a few teleconsults with me to discuss various issues with his dogs; but the main concern that he has is with their teeth and dental tartar. It is too time consuming to brush their teeth as there are so many of them, so he takes full responsibility and books them in regularly for dentals at the vet.
Dental hygiene ensures that the bacteria in his dogs' mouths is kept to a minimum as poor dental health and a build up of bacteria can affect the heart and kidneys of dogs if this bacteria enters the blood stream, and it can also result in early doggy dementia with bacteria entering the hypothalamus part of the brain (same in people with poor dental health are much more prone to dementia for this reason)!
