Mosquito season is back… and I noticed it immediately after our walk.

Little bites on Gucho’s face,

And it made me think about what so many people reach for first…

❌ Synthetic repellents.
❌ Strong fragrances.
❌ Chemical-heavy sprays.

But dogs absorb so much through their skin and their bodies are incredibly sensitive.

So instead, I kept it simple and soothing.

✨ A little coconut oil to calm the itch
✨ Gentle support for inflammation
✨ Comfort without the harsh additives

Just a reminder: what we put on our dogs matters as much as what we put in them.

Valentine’s Day is about celebrating all forms of love. 💌

And honestly… over the past couple of years, I’ve been running on pure passion.

Burning the midnight oil because I love what I do.
Building, learning, creating, showing up even when it’s exhausting.

So today, I’m celebrating love in every form …
love for the people around me, love for my work, and love for the future I’m building. ✨

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovelies ❤️

A mentor of mine once told me to focus on just one thing.

And yes, nutrition matters deeply.

But I couldn’t stay there.

Because you can’t look at one piece of health without looking at the whole picture.

Food is important…
but it’s not the whole story!

You can feed all the raw/fresh food in the world, but if you don’t get enough exercise, and if you live in a high toxic environment with high stress .. It can accelerate disease.

If a dog is dealing with chronic yeast, skin flare-ups, allergies, recurring infections… it’s rarely just about the bowl.

That’s why I don’t classify myself as only a nutritionist. ❌❌❌❌

I care about root cause.✅✅
I care about metabolic function.✅✅
I care about the full system working together.✅✅

Holistic health is never one thing.

Just came out for a walk with my doggies and saw a nanny dragging a dog by the collar literally pulling him by the neck.

This is so dangerous.

Neck pulling can harm the trachea, spine, nerves, and even affect stress hormones long-term.

‼️Dogs deserve better.‼️

Honest question:
If it were your dog, would you want someone to tell you?

Or would you see it as interference?

personally, if it were me, I would definitely want to know. But I know some people don’t appreciate feedback.

This is why it’s so important to monitor the people that care for your pets , if I had a dog walker or a nanny, I would become a private investigator and watch there every move with my dogs and cats. But I’m a bit extra.🫠

I was recently looking at pet dental products here in the UAE because I wanted to make sure I’m including everything I can to support dental health

During my research, I came across a website that really caught my attention ; not because of the products themselves, but because of the words they were using: “holistic,” “all natural,” “ naturally healthy.”

It made me pause and think: what’s up with this marketing?

This sparked a reminder for all pet parents: it’s easy to get drawn in by buzzwords, right?

Herbs and “natural” labels are great, but the base formula and other ingredients matter just as much.

Knowledge is the best tool we have as pet parents. 🐶

Swipe through the carousel to see how to read between the marketing and truly understand what’s in your dog’s products.

Have you ever noticed marketing buzzwords like this on pet products? Is it just me or is it becoming considerably worse? 🤦🏾‍♀️

‼️ this is a long one, but a very important one.‼️

Five years ago, I spoke about boarding and daycare standards in the UAE.
I asked hard questions. I raised concerns. I said we need better for our dogs.

And the community wasn’t ready.

People mocked me.
Blocked me.
Told me I’m a psychopath for speaking up for Gucho

Back then, I was alone.

And what I realised quickly was this:
People only want to listen when it becomes their problem.

When a dog goes missing.
When a dog bites.
When something tragic happens inside a facility…

Suddenly everyone cares.
But before that? Silence.🤫

when the daycare dressed, Gucho up without my consent and I told them that he came home so stressed - he bit! They didn’t care!

No accountability.
No care.
Just business as usual. It’s the same thing with the dogs that went missing recently.

I spoke about this five years ago, when many of you laughed.

Now look at what’s happening.

I feel deeply sorry for the dogs.
For the families.
For the heartbreak that could have been prevented.

The holistic and integrative space here is still small.
People watch… but they don’t share.
They don’t stand with you.
They don’t want to be “involved.”
Advocacy is just a word on paper

But I’m not here for that.

I’m here to have the hard conversations.
Even if it means standing alone.

And if you don’t like it? Keep me blocked.
Because I don’t want you on this page either.

This space is not for everyone.

These are not “stories.”
These are real incidents I’ve experienced and I’m ready to share with the world.

We cannot keep walking through this industry with our eyes closed.

I was the one asking:
Can I interview you?
Can I observe?
Can I spend the day here?

When Gucho was boarding, I spent hours watching.
How do staff behave with the animals?
How are dogs handled?
What happens behind closed doors?

Pet parents deserve transparency.
Dogs deserve safety.

And if more of us speak up, maybe facilities will finally be forced to change.

We really, really need to do better.

Have you ever seen an ingredient on your dog’s treat bag…and it instantly took you back?

For me, it was sorghum.

It reminded me of my childhood, the kinds of grains and foods that felt so familiar, so simple, so comforting.

For some parts of my childhood, I grew up in a Zulu 🇿🇦home so seeing this ingredient feels very nostalgic

And honestly… I loved seeing it in a treat.

We were gifted these over Christmas ❤️ and I I’m so glad that the dogs are enjoying it

They’re crunchy, wholesome, and made with ingredients that actually feel like food you grew up with- the good type!

It’s such a nice reminder that treats don’t have to be ultra-processed to be fun.

Sometimes, the best ones are the simplest.

And yes… the pups approve.

Chicken chewy treats… but how is this “natural”?

Let’s talk.

So many popular dog treats are marketed as:

✨ natural
✨ wholesome
✨ made with real chicken

But then you flip the bag over and see:
• glycerin
• preservatives
• flavour enhancers
• vague “meat derivatives”
• additives to keep them shelf stable for months

And I have to ask…

What part of that is natural?

Real food doesn’t stay chewy and shelf-stable forever.
Real meat doesn’t need artificial flavouring.
And “chicken” shouldn’t come with a chemistry set.

The truth is:
Marketing sells comfort. Ingredients tell the truth.‼️

If you’re feeding treats daily (most of us are), those small exposures add up impacting gut health, inflammation, allergies, and long-term wellness.

A better swap?
Single-ingredient treats. Freeze-dried and we love for training and the bite sized treats from too! We also found green tripe am beef bones in the freezer section of the pet shop - now that’s a better choice than “chewy chicken 🐔 fake treats”

Because our dogs deserve more

They deserve real food.

PS: Your dog deserves better!
