Meet Balou — the one who started it all. 🐾💚
Before Tuffy joined the family, there was Balou.
As a young Shepherd pup, Balou was struggling with a sensitive tummy when his family came across Luvita. They decided to give it a try… and, as they put it, they “never looked back.” ❤️
Balou is actually the reason the Swanepoel family discovered Luvita in the first place — and now, nearly 4 years later, he’s grown into one very handsome gentleman.
His family describes him as having a beautifully soft coat, LOADS of energy, and, of course, that big goofy smile that always seems to be on show.
From a young pup finding his way to the energetic, happy boy he is today, it’s incredibly special for us to have been part of Balou’s journey.
Thank you to Loulou and the Swanepoel family for sharing his story with us and for supporting Luvita over the years. Stories like Balou’s mean so much to us.
Here’s to many more years of big smiles, boundless energy and happy adventures, Balou!
