Don’t get me wrong. I have huge respect for our of veterinarians In Dubai but with every consult, I do not expect them to recommend natural modalities that they are not 100% trained in .. 🙌and that is the responsible thing to do!!

Veterinary school has a specific curriculum. They can’t possibly learn everything.

But I also don’t agree with the opposite extreme … small businesses in Dubai promoting “natural” products like enzymes with 101 fillers or omega-3’s with 101 oils etc.. and these business recommend “natural” simply because they sell them, without actually being clinically trained in what they’re recommending.

That’s where I can’t get on board.

Ultimately, it comes down to initiative. Your initiative!!

If you want to explore something outside conventional veterinary medicine, take the initiative to actually learn about it.

And when I say learn, I don’t mean asking ChatGPT , (god please NO ) ❌❌❌ for a five-minute summary and suddenly calling yourself an expert. 😂

I mean proper education. Training. or working with a qualified professional in the veterinary science, space
Educate yourself and understand the risks, contraindications, interactions and evidence.

Your vet doesn’t need to know everything.

You don’t need to know everything.

But if you’re going to make decisions about your dog’s health, take responsibility for learning.

Because being informed is a partnership not blind trust in either side.

And I’m not walking around vet clinics in Dubai expecting vets to recommend natural modalities, I walk in knowing I will get conventional advice and I prepared myself so well # that I am able to bring in natural care and have meaningful conversations when it comes to pet care.

Learning never stops and when it comes to our dogs , for me at least it’s just second nature ..I need to dig deep.. I need to know more and I’ll never settle for just conventional care.

This simple tea is supports lung health and can be shared with the whole family!

Herbs and roots like ginger and tulsi are energetically warm in nature and help move things upward. As the winds blow and the seasons change, we shift our focus to support the respiratory detox pathways ..

Pink ribbons are fine. Awareness is great.

But can we stop for a moment and consider the fact that pink ribbons on products that contain endocrine disruptors doesn’t make those products any safer?

We talk about awareness, screening and treatment.

But where is the conversation about prevention? Maybe that’s a conversation we should be having, this month.

So let’s start looking at some of the everyday products … from cleaning products and personal care to cosmetics and household items and ask what’s actually inside them.☠️☠️☠️☠️

🗣️🗣️Because a pink ribbon shouldn’t be a free pass for potentially harmful ingredients.

😍👍👍

📌 Save this for when you’re going grocery shopping this weekend!! 😀

When it comes to nourishing the body, we should also think about nourishing the brain. Mediterranean diets are fantastic ways to include these beautiful ingredients.

And the best part is that you can share everything with your 🐶🐶🐶

So if you’re roasting pumpkin this weekend, keep some aside for your doggie. And even if you’re feeding kibble, don’t be afraid to share fresh food.

🔊 if you want to offer fruits to your doggies this seaso… pears should be on the top of your list .. pears nourish the 🫁 and a tasty snack!

Citrus is my go-to to as well but most dogs don’t like the taste, which is why I’m always blending. Every single veggie blend of mine contains organic citrus, and in the winter I tend to supplement with vitamin C! Yes, dogs can have safe amounts of citrus. 🍋🍋🍋

Enjoy!

Wiping your dogs paws is not good enough .. not in the winter and not if you’re In Dubai.

The cooler months here mean regular outdoor treatment which means insecticide and pesticides everywhere. Dogs lick their paws. So wiping is just not going to be good enough.

At five more minutes to your routine , soak those paws and wipe it off dry.

Now, if you have a reactive dog like Gucho, the muzzle and routine helps us .. also understand the sweet spots so for example Gucho prefers to be hosed .. which works for me but the girls get dunked …

Multiple dog household .. I’m literally working for them 🫠🫠🫠

Herbal teas like nettle, chamomile and green tea can have an anti-inflammatory impact on a ye**ty dog. It can provide some comfort.

You don’t have to go crazy here, buy what you can afford.

⛔️ be mindful if you’re using apple c***r vinegar, especially if your dog has cuts and scrapes. ACV can cause irritation and burn the skin.

❌❌❌❌ please please please do not buy “scented” “fragrance” paw wipes and be careful of misleading marketing “all natural paw wipes” with 101 ingredients.

Su***de rates in the veterinary industry is staggering! A CDC/NIOSH study of 11,620 veterinarians who died between 1979 and 2015 identify 398 deaths as su***de😢😢😢

female vet veterinarians: 3.5 x higher proportionate, su***de mortality rate

Male vets: 2.1 x higher proportionate, su***de mortality rate

75% were 65 or younger. 75% worked in small animal practice.

nearly 30% disclosed su***de intent before their death

‼️ these numbers are not normal. These are human beings. These are precious lives.‼️

We don’t talk about veterinary su***de, but it’s very real. Remember the people that care for our pets sometimes need care too, and it doesn’t take much to be kind to your veterinarian.

✨ behind every human being that is taking care of your pet is someone that is trying their best, if someone that feels deeply, it’s someone that’s human, it’s someone that struggles and grieves and feels pain.

So please stop blaming your vet when things don’t go your way ..they are doing their job and you should do yours too …

as a pet parent that means advocating for your pet and building a partnership with your veterinarians because veterinary healthcare should be a partnership and a collaboration…

so the next time things don’t go your way …remember there’s a human being That also wants the best for your pet, so be kind

🙌 hands up if you have these products in your home or if you use this cleaning company because it’s been recommended like wildfire on a group chat 🙌🙌

No judgment, just education!

I mean, there was a time where I used all these harmful detergent like it was going out of fashion, and then Gucho came into my life and changed my whole world for the better!

Again, this is about education and I’m sharing this to create awareness.

Some of these everyday products can be swapped for better options that are safe for you, your kids, your parents, and your pets.

Over the past couple of months, I’ve seen a cleaning company being recommended in a local Neighbourhood group so I decided to reach out and ask a simple question because recently this company is being recommended even more.

The company could not give me an answer instead linked to me to an Instagram page, which is not in English and is not helpful.

The surprising thing is that people are following one recommendation like a flock of sheep and spread spreading the word without doing their own due diligence now imagine if you have an elderly parent that has asthma or a chronic condition for example and then you wrap your house and all these chemicals and you wonder why your parents are sick or why kids are being diagnosed with cancer so young and why pets are dying by the age of eight!

we live in a day and age where we are fortunate enough to make healthy swaps because more and more people are becoming aware of some of the ingredients in these products that are linked to skin, allergies, respiratory conditions, digestive issues, and diseases, like cancer.

We need to stop waiting for a diagnosis and start acting. Acting proactively.

Remember to the right thing : ask questions. Asking questions does not make you difficult. Just makes you a thoughtful consumer.

And this is not just about our pets
What we use in our home, impacts the members that live and occupy the space in the house.

And truth be told if it were not for my dogs I probably would still be poisoning myself day by day.

We need to do better
Our dogs deserve better!

Forgive me, I didn’t pass this through the Neighbourhood watch so if you’re very sensitive, ❌do not read the caption.

Retractable leashes do not offer control, when I was new in the space I bought a retractable leash. I didn’t know any better. I never used it because I just found the leash itself to be very flimsy.

But it’s very common for most parents to purchase I guess because most people don’t know that it does have harmful impacts, especially to the spine and the neck so if you have a dog with spondylosis or IVDD or you want to prevent neck injuries then get rid of the retractable leash.

If I had lots of money, I would probably buy leashes and donated it to everyone in the community.

But I don’t have enough to give away freebies so instead, I urge you to do a bit of research before you get that retractable leash and even if you do have one learn how to use it properly the leash itself is very flimsy and it doesn’t offer much control when your dog is pulling.

No, if you’re using a retractable leash, don’t throw it away. Just do a bit of research to understand the pros and the cons. And make an informed decision.

What most people don’t realize is that our dogs can hide their pain really well, and spinal issues often go unnoticed until there’s a diagnosis.

These are often things that we have full control over and we can change, now your pet shop will have these retractable leashes in all different colors - because remember they’re selling, but that doesn’t mean that we need to just buy everything blindly.

I’ve seen many dogs on the retractable leashes and it’s very normal for them to lunge, what happens the spine when the dog is jumping and you’re pulling? It causes unnecessary friction. You may think it’s just a reaction, but it’s actually more than that.

Everyone says they love authenticity but in reality, let’s face it , people like it only when it fits their little mold. Very very few are open to viewing something from a different perspective and I’m very happy that those I don’t like it leave / unfollow because I’m not chasing anyone here .. a lot of what I’ve shared over the years is free education, free tips, free community guidelines.

And I’ll be honest it’s not easy showing up on social media and being so real because I put myself out there and give you glimpses of who I am.. but then I think about the bigger picture, and I think about the pet parent that I was at the beginning, lost , confused wasn’t sure where to start.. and along the way , so much of what I put out here has helped pets live healthy lives and that’s why I keep showing up.

I’m not here to massage egos
I have not learned the art of sugarcoating
I can’t fake it

So if you don’t like what I put out here, I’m not forcing you to be here.

But on this platform, you’re guaranteed one thing

My authentic self
And that’s something you’ll always get

And along the way we all are learning together
We are all connected by one purpose

Serving our dogs and cats better every single day

Truth be told this is a teen and kid friendly community ✅

Pets are tolerated 🫠

I initially embarked on a project with the landscaping team to remove certain plants from the community because, you know… pets live here too.

Shocker 😱😱

Then a group of women decided they absolutely LOVE pesticides and were very passionate about talking about spraying more. 🙌🙌

And I remember thinking…

Why?

At that point, I left the project halfway through.

Because if the solution to making a community safer for pets is met with resistance from people who want more chemical spraying, I’m not interested in pretending that’s progress.

And this is exactly why I say:

This is NOT a pet friendly community. Pets are tolerated here.
