Apparently, my "I haven't eaten in DAYS" face is not a reliable way to determine whether I need another snack.🙄

Rude, but noted.

Keeping us at a healthy weight is an important part of keeping us happy and healthy, so keep an eye on portions, treats and exercise, and chat to your vet if you're unsure what a healthy weight looks like for your pet.🐾💜

P.S. I still think one extra treat wouldn't hurt.😉

My humans had a very special morning celebrating 40 years of Animal Rescue Organisation at their World Animal Day Breakfast! 🐾💜

We have so much love for the work ARO does to help animals in need, and we’re always happy to get behind such a wonderful organisation and the events they host.

A big thank you to the ARO team for inviting us to be part of such a special celebration!

P.S. I couldn’t make it, but I hear my humans had a great time. ☺️

Humans, meet Phoenix. 🐶💜

At just 12 weeks old. she was dealing with a pretty nasty case of sarcoptic mange. After being treated for the mites, VetMed Wound & Skin Care was used twice a day to help care for her skin.

And just ONE WEEK later...👀🐾

Take a look to see the difference.

Oh, and Phoenix, now Nickey, turned her foster home into her forever home too. Very clever. I respect the strategy.😇

Funny how things just seem to look better when I am involved. ☺️🐾

Coincidence? I think not. 😅

Humans, ear cleaning does NOT need to turn into a full-contact sport.😑👂

The trick? Keep it calm, keep it gentle, and most importantly, know when the ear needs more than a clean.

Take a look at the proper way to do it, including why you should actually let us do that ridiculously dramatic head shake afterwards.👀

P.S. Treats after ear cleaning are not technically part of the process, but I stongly recommend adding them.

You know that moment when your pet comes running inside and your first thought is...

"What have you done now?"😑

Yeah. My humans know it well.

That's why it's handy to keep a few VetMed essentials around for the everyday scrapes, itchy bits and little oopsies we somehow manage to find ourselves in.🐾💙

Think of this as your "my pet has been up to something" starter kit.

P.S. I prefer the term adventurous. My humans prefer expensive. 🤷‍♂️

Human turns around for approximately 2.7 seconds...

Me: 👅

Human: "FREDDY! NO!"

Look, I can't explain it. If there's an oopsie, we're probably going to want to lick it. ☺️

The good news? One sneaky lick doesn't mean the world is ending.

The not-so-good news? Letting us keep at it isn't a great idea either.

Here's what to do next, and why you might need to bring out... the cone. 😲

P.S. I regret mentioning the cone...

Another little recovery story for you... and this time the cats are taking over the feed. 🐱💙

This little one was picked up by an animal shelter with an abscess on its head. After the abscess was removed, the wound just wasn't healing as hoped.

WetMed Wound & Skin Care was then used twice a day, and just 6 days later, the wound had closed completely and the hair was growing back.

Not bad for Team Cat, I'll admit.☺️

P.S. Don't get too excited, cats. I'm still the CBO.

Freddy's Fact Check is back!!! 🐾🔍

Today's contestant: iodine. 👀

Now, before anyone gets upset, I'm NOT saying iodine is the bad guy. It has its place.

But does that mean you should grab any bottle of iodine and put it on every cut or scrape?

Also no.

Let's sniff out the difference between iodine and VetMed.

P.S. My human fur-leagues did the science. I asked them to explain it in normal-human language.😊
