Cats are so amazing! They are amazing in ways that dogs can’t be. We LOVE seeing how much joy a little cat can create for not just one man, but everyone who meets him and hears his story. 💜🐱🐾

It is with a very heavy heart that we share the sad news that Charlie passed away a few days ago. We are incredibly sorry to hear of Kate and Chris’ loss and our thoughts are with them through this tough time. Charlie was always happy to see any of our staff for walks and even though he generally took life at a steady pace, he really lit up with energy when the football came out to play. To send your love and condolences please press the ❤️ button. 🧡💛💚💙💜

Skin Disorders are one of the most common health problems in pets and can be caused by a number of different factors. This is stressful for pets but can also be stressful for owners due to seeing their fur babies in discomfort and pain. Your pets nutrition could be the biggest factor to why your dog is scratching. What should a pet’s skin look like?... 🐾 A pet’s skin should be smooth and their coat should be clean and in good condition. In order to help identify if a pet has a problem with its skin, it is important to have knowledge of what healthy skin should look like. 🐾 A pet’s skin should be pink or black depending on the breed or their genetics. 🐾 There should be no itching, crusting, scaling or hot and inflamed areas. 🐾 A healthy coat should be shiny, quite smooth, soft and thick with no broken hairs or bald patches. The skin and coat form the single largest organ of a pet’s body and it is the first protective barrier from the outside. Together, they go hand in hand to provide protection and immunity for the body to prevent bacteria/viruses from entering the body and to ensure thermo-regulation. At Vale Dog Food, all of the recipes contain Omega- 3 essential fatty acids which are beneficial in supporting the skin and coat, as well as the control of inflammation. Some research suggests that Omega-3 is also important for brain and eye health in young and growing animals. With all recipes being Grain and Wheat free they are great for dogs with intolerances.
