Shih-Tzu with 16 years party hat given 2 extra years to live on a plant-based diet!

I feel so touched to share in all of your wins and equally your losses which we all have to go through as part of having our dogs in our lives (although where would we be without them?!)

Deborah sent me such a lovely and poignant message that had to be shared - 

"I lost Elmo my Shih Tzu 2 months ago, he was fed on Give a dog a bean and also Noochie Poochy. He reached the grand old age of 16 years and 7 months.

I really feel switching him to mostly vegan food which I must have done about 5 or 6 years ago, whenever it was that I ordered your 'selection pack' and tried a few samples, gave him an extra 2 years.

He also amazed our vets as when he was 14 he was also diagnosed with borderline kidney disease but this never progressed.....even though we were told to expect it to!" - Deborah and Elmo

Such important information to share and what a story!
