Everyone says feed your dog the rainbow… but no one tells you how. 🌈

Dogs don’t need vegetables for calories, they need them for phytonutrients, antioxidants, and fiber that support:
🌱 gut health
🌱 microbiome balance
🌱 immune function
🌱 healthy detox pathways

Vegetables aren’t fillers. ❌
Yet I still see fresh food recipes loaded with potatoes, lentils, and peas mostly for bulk, not real value.

For maximum benefit; here’s how to offer your dog veggies:
✨ offer veggies in small, digestible amounts (steamed, puréed, finely chopped)
✨ rotate colours over time for diverse phytonutrients
✨ purée if you must!

Start by offering a few fresh veggies a week (I throw in nuts and seeds too).

Small, consistent changes - that’s all it takes!

🌿 Did you know not all milk thistle supplements are created equal?

I recently came across a case that stopped me in my tracks; a dog with cancer whose parents were giving a milk thistle supplement that looked supportive on the label… but the formulation didn’t actually provide meaningful liver support.

😢 The very sad part is that this supplement caused more harm to the dog, a dog battling cancer - just imagine!!

Milk thistle can be powerful for liver health when used correctly. has shared extensive research about how milk this protects liver cells, supports detox pathways, and promotes healthy liver regeneration.

❌But not all supplements deliver enough of it, and some are over-marketed or formulated in ways that can actually stress the liver.

And especially if you’re living in Dubai, it’s absolutely scary with these products out there in the market being pushed like there’s no tomorrow!!!

When choosing a supplement for your dog, always ask yourself:
✔ Is the company transparent about sourcing and testing?
✔ Are there third-party verifications or certifications?

Just because something is made in the US doesn’t make it automatically great!

The worst part is that this particular supplement is stocked at a “holistic vet clinic” 😂 in Dubai! The interaction with “holistic vet” was also a lovely learning experience which I’ll share with you later!

Remember advocating for your dog means standing up boldly, our dogs depend on us to be their voice - make sure you research every single thing before adding it to their bowls!

Your dog deserves THE BEST!
No compromises

Only the best !

If you learnt something new, let me know. If you’d like me to review another supplement in detail, let me know.

Your pets advocate ❤️

When was the last time you really took care of yourself?
Truly supporting your body.

We talk so much about our pets’ health (as we should), but I’ve learned over the years that our health and theirs are deeply connected. When I’m nourished, I show up better for them too.

✨One of my intentions this year is to take care of me so I can be stronger, and more present for my dogs.

What I’ve discovered is that there are some beautiful, whole-food human supplements that, when used intentionally and with guidance, can also support our dogs.

And honestly, living in the UAE, sourcing high-quality pet supplements hasn’t always been easy.

This isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about being mindful, asking for guidance from integrative vets, and working with your holistic practitioner. This is not about adding additional supplements, this is about being intentional about what we can share with our pets

Especially for Dubai pet parents navigating limited options, you’re not alone.

Our dogs teach us that health is that taking care of ourselves is part of taking care of them 🐾 ❤️

Raven promptly went and finished hers…
and then casually helped herself to Summer’s as well 🙃

She has always loved fur even as a baby and what surprises most people is that Raven is actually my more sensitive dog.

This is why I’m so particular about quality.

I’ve tried dehydrating my own camel ears at home and found ticks 🤮 which was enough for me to be very intentional about sourcing and preparation.

✨Not everything labelled “natural” is safe, and sensitive dogs especially have a hard time if it’s not done right!

So why fur?

🙌 The fur itself acts like a natural “toothbrush,” gently helping scrub the teeth as your dog chews. I’m doing everything in my power to keep Raven’s teeth clean & avoid a dental cleaning for as long as possible!

🙌 Fur isn’t digestible but it behaves more like fibre, supporting stool quality and helping the gut move waste through efficiently - we need this to clean out the GI tract!

🙌 when you have a clean digestive tract you have better and proper nutrient absorption

🙌 Fur is also a natural source of manganese yay!!!

But for dogs like Raven, it can be incredibly supportive when done thoughtfully and safely.

If you’re curious, start slow.
Some dogs need more time and even if you start and there’s a bit of diarrhea, it’s fine! It’s fixable!

‼️If your dog is sensitive, quality is everything.‼️

Give it a go! Trust me your dog will thank you

I had fun making this because so much of what we do is frowned upon in the dog world.

Our choices are guided by biology, observation, and trust not punishment / fear.

It may not fit mainstream dog culture.
But my dogs are regulated, safe, and heard and VERY HAPPY!!! & they have more choice and freedom than any typical dog that I know of!

You don’t have to agree.
This is simply what works for us.

(And yes… a little dark Capricorn humour may have slipped in.)

Your dog’s paws touch everything, pavements, grass, dust, chemicals… all of it.

🤔And something often talks about (and something that really stayed with me) is that paws are a major entry point for allergens, toxins and microbes. Whatever sits on the paws doesn’t just stay there , it gets absorbed through the skin or licked off later.

🙋‍♀️I remember being at a workshop last year where someone asked, “Is rinsing paws with just water enough?”
And the answer was no.
Water alone doesn’t remove chemicals which is exactly why I choose a gentle, non-toxic shampoo instead.

These small habits actually matter. Cleaning paws after walks can help:
🐾 reduce environmental allergens
🐾 support skin and immune health
🐾 ease itchiness and chronic inflammation
🐾 and yes… keep your home cleaner too

Nothing fancy.
No pressure to be perfect.

Just consistent, mindful care. Now, doing this for three dogs every day - it’s hard. Sometimes I get lazy - so I just use a bowl of water instead of the hose!

Foundation is built in these quiet, unglamorous moments 🐾✨

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, longevity isn’t about chasing symptoms.

It’s about supporting Jing (essence), long before imbalance shows up.

✨ Lion’s Mane
Traditionally used to nourish the brain and nervous system, supporting focus, cognition, and healthy ageing.

✨ Reishi
Known as the “Mushroom of Immortality” used to calm the Shen, support immunity, and help the body adapt to stress.

In a world that overstimulates our dogs #- noise, EMFs, poor sleep, constant cortisol — longevity starts with small intentional choices.

This isn’t about adding more.

It’s about choosing intentional, supportive daily rituals that protect your dog’s vitality over time.

‼️ Dubai Dogs … if there is one thing you can add to your daily ritual then I’d definitely start with ❤️

It’s easy to get carried away in the supplement world. Pet companies constantly throwing something new at you. 🤦🏾‍♀️

But let’s take it back a step, people!

Good health is built on strong foundations! You simply cannot out supplemental a bad diet!

This year, I urge you to focus on:

✨Real food
✨High-quality ingredients
✨Daily movement
✨Less stress

Supplements support the body , they don’t replace the basics. Once the basics are right everything else will fall into place. Trust me. 🙌

Three years ago, this was the place I was bulldozed by an off-leash golden retriever and injured my knee. MRI confirmed an ACL tear.

I couldn’t have imagined I’d be back here feeling stronger than before.

Three years later, I’m walking this same path with not one but three dogs — fitter, more capable, and more connected to my body than ever. It took getting out of an abusive partnership for me to fully embrace wellness as I do with our animals!

My fitness and wellness journey has evolved: it’s no longer about pushing or proving, it’s about consistency, strength, and honoring what my body needs.

The dogs remind me every day that health isn’t just movement — it’s consistency, routine, and patience.

Over the past six years of caring for them, I’ve learned that small, steady choices add up. Showing up ever is what creates long-term wellness for them and for me.

Health takes time. But when you commit to it with patience, presence, and love, you see the results in your body, your mind, and in the joy of your dogs 🤍

Yes, we all know mushrooms are powerful 🍄. & Y’all know that mushrooms in our household, are life!!

But here’s what local pet companies that are trying to sell often don’t tell you 👇
‼️The form matters just as much as the mushroom itself.‼️

So for example, if I’m treating a dog with a chronic condition, I am going to recommend therapeutic doses of mushroom TINCTURES ✅

In winter, we are all rotating to support immune health. These are powerful tinctures that are highly bio available and fast acting.

✨Mushroom powders can be wonderful for feeding the gut microbiome. I love 5 defenders from which is a steady staple in our fiber blends!

Mushroom tinctures, when properly extracted, are designed to deliver those compounds in a way dogs can actually absorb and use.

Both have a place — it just depends on why you’re using mushrooms and how they’re prepared.

Full breakdown coming soon 🍄

Save this if you’re choosing supplements more intentionally for your dog. or send me a message if you need help choosing the right form for your dog.

This right here!! I have spoken about this several times.
There are NO PASTURES IN DUBAI! When a pet food company slaps on the label ' FREE RANGE CHICKEN' its worth asking what that actually means. Marketing language isnt regulation, and without transparency - these claims easily mislead pet parents!
