If youโ€™re wondering what to best feed your dog and/or how to transition from kibble to something more nutritious, youโ€™ll love the upcoming LIVE Masterclass:

Beyond Kibble: Improve Your Dog's Health and Increase Their Lifespan Through Nutrition" with Charlie Dice

12th August, 5:30 pm Europe (4:30 pm UK, 11:30 am ET, 8:30 am PT)

(HERE is what time that is for you)

Charlie immersed herself into the world of canine nutrition after her own dog, a gorgeous Bernese Mountain dog had horrible digestive issues for months, without any of the vetโ€™s recommendations offering any relief.

With her degree in Animal Science and Nutrition, she knows a thing or two about food for dogs ๐Ÿ˜›

This weekโ€™s Pawsome Human: Rosee Riggs - Understanding and Managing Separation Anxiety

If you dread leaving the house when you canโ€™t take your dog, youโ€™ll love this one.

Iโ€™m talking to Rosee Riggs, a British canine behavior advisor based in Austria, about her specialized work in helping dogs with separation anxiety.

Rosie shared her journey into this field, driven by her passion for understanding and addressing the emotional needs of dogs, especially those with fear and trauma backgrounds.

We discussed the signs of separation anxiety (not just the obvious ones), common misconceptions and ineffective advice that dog owners often receive, and what to do instead.

Rosie emphasized the importance of gradual desensitization and the role of professional guidance in effectively managing this complex issue.

Her insights offer hope for any dog owner struggling with a distressed pet, highlighting that it's not their fault and that there is effective help available.
