Very rare occurrence in the pad…. These two never share a sofa. Kenzo would love to snuggle up to Skye but shes just not like that… So I was surprised when she jumped up on to the sofa next to him…. If he stretches or touches her … she will probably shout at him 🤣🐾🫣❤️ For now - they look cute and content together and I’ll just cherish this moment 😍🐾🐾

🎆 Help Your Dog Stay Calm This New Year's Eve! 🐾

Does your dog get anxious during fireworks? Mine does too, and I know how hard it can be to see them stressed. That’s why I’ve made this quick video to show you a natural remedy that helps my dog feel calm and even get some restful sleep during noisy celebrations.

In the video, I’ll show you how to make a simple treat using our preferred products:

✅ Delamere Dairy Natural Goat's Yoghurt – Great for digestion and immunity.

✅ Dorwest Herbs Valerian Compound – Known for its calming, soothing effects.

It’s easy to make and a great alternative to prescription medication. Let’s help our furry friends have a stress-free New Year's Eve!

📌 Important: The amount of Valerian Compound I use (5ml) is specific to my dog’s weight. Be sure to check the instructions on the bottle to find the right amount for your dog.
