I am Dr. Anna Hielm-Björkman (Small Animal Surgery, docent in clinical trials for companion animals) and I work at the University of Helsinki in Finland. I am a doctor in Veterinary Medicine (DVM, PhD) and I have a Veterinary Acupuncture certification (IVAS 1992), and I have worked with all kinds of animals, ranging from spiders, dogs, sheep, cows, horses all the way up to elephants.

I also had my own general practice for 13 years, meaning I have also worked with all types of diseases: metabolic, immunologic, auto-immune, inflammatory, infectious and also with all body systems: musculo-skeletal, respiratory, gastro-intestinal, reproduction, skin, pain etc. This generalist approach is needed in the multidisciplinary way we work, looking more at factors that diseases have in common, than what makes them different.

In 2007 I defended my PhD theses on complementary therapies for dogs suffering from chronic pain due to OA, including e.g. pharmaceuticals, acupuncture, and nutritional supplements.

Since 15 years I lead the DogRisk research group at the University of Helsinki. We work mostly with dogs but also with humans, cats and horses. Nowadays, a lot of my work involves dog nutrition, epidemiology and –omics, and many studies include looking at differences between populations that have eaten ultra-processed versus non-processed foods. Low-carb or ketogenic diets for dogs interest us.

I also lead the research on scent dog detection of chronic pain, cancer and covid-19 sniffing dogs. I have supervised over 10 PhD students and over 75 DVM theses. I am a keen lecturer, both nationally and internationally. My backstory lies in having had chronic back pain and chronic COPD (without smoking) and being fully cured from both the natural way. My lifework is to be an academic game-changer in preventive medicine, natural medicine, and nutrition, both for pets and humans. I love to combine evidence-based methods with controversial questions.

👋 Meet Carol and her adorable wire-haired miniature dachshunds, Sheldon and Leonard! 😍

Carol and her pups discovered Pala in 2021, and they’ve been devoted fans ever since! Thanks to a thoughtful coworker, Carol’s pups had their first taste of Pala, and they fell in love! 🐾❤️

“As soon as we tried the food for the first time, it was clear that the pups were welcoming it very well and this was going to be our food from now on,” Carol shared. “They are very active, and I have always preferred to give them quality food. Pala has the best quality for our dogs.”

Sheldon loves his personal space with occasional belly rubs, while Leonard is all about barking, running, and cuddling with his humans. Both boys agree that Pala’s #1 Original and #3 Beef & Salmon recipes are their top picks! 🥩🐟

“We have placed a recurring order every month, we have tested every flavor.” Carol explained. “Reindeer horns were a very pleasant surprise and cheese sticks also.”

Their energy and happiness are a testament to the quality of Pala 💪🧠 “Our dogs have been well-fed and super happy since starting Pala. They are fit and strong and they have the strength to run, play, bark, and just be happy dogs living their best life”

From long walks to ball games, these pups are always ready for their favorite activities! 🐶 🎾

👋 Meet Freya and Riina! 🌟
We had the pleasure of interviewing Riina about her Australian Shepherd, Freya and their journey with Pala 🐶🫶

💬 How did you first hear about us?
👉 If I recall correctly, I came across Pala on social media!

💬 What motivated you to try Pala?
👉 The ingredients, quality, made nearby and Finnish roots really stood out to me 🤗

💬 Which Pala products do you use most frequently, and why?
👉 We use the complete recipes 1, 2, and 3. I like to switch it up so Freya gets different sources of proteins. The main ingredients come from nearby, which I love. The complete recipes are perfect for camping and hiking, providing a lot of energy in a small, light amount 🏕️🎒

💬 Have you noticed any difference in Freya since starting Pala?
👉 Freya has been eating Pala for a long time now. I believe her coat has stayed shiny, even after sterilization. And she has a lot of energy ☀️⚡️

💬 What’s your favorite activity to do with Freya?
👉 Basic everyday walks and hiking are nice, but we love agility and search and rescue training 🙌😍

💬 Describe your Freya’s personality in three words? 🤩
👉 Humorous, intelligent and vibrant!

🐾🎉 Tracking, area search and mantrailing - these pups from Eesti Päästekoerte Ühing were on a mission! 🌟

Over 50 dynamic duos from Estonia, Latvia and Finland, along with their dedicated handlers, spent three long days immersed in intensive training at their Search and Rescue camp 🐶💪 Many of them are part of voluntary rescue teams in these countries, driven by their passion for offering their furry companions a fulfilling sport they love. But beyond that, their main purpose is to volunteer in search and rescue missions, aiding in finding missing people 🖤

We feel honored to have been invited and sponsor this camp, as we believe in the importance of supporting these dedicated teams and their superhero dogs 🦸✨
