It’s Veganuary!
January is a month celebrated by vegans worldwide, it allows people to learn and discover more about veganism by encouraging them to follow a vegan lifestyle for the month of January, cleverly nicknamed Veganuary. In celebration of Veganuary, we thought we’d share some of our vegan product range, so that both you, and your dog, can get the most out of Veganuary.
Grooming Range
Did you know that most of our grooming range is Vegan? From shampoos to colognes and paw cleaners, you can use our grooming range throughout the month of January and still stick to your vegan lifestyle. Some of our top grooming product picks for the month are our: Baby Fresh Shampoo, perfect for freshening up the coat, and with the long-lasting fragrance, it’s not surprising that the Baby Fresh scent is one of our best-selling. We’d also recommend grabbing a paw cleaner, the paw cleaners come in super handy for those messy days. Not to mention, they aid in removing grit, debris and mud from the paws, so your floors will be kept nice and clean. Since January can be very icy, grit or salt is often found on the roads. This is not good for your pet’s paws and can dry them out and cause stomach upset if ingested. We’d recommend purchasing a paw cleaner to help remove this grit or salt from the paws, to ensure your pet is kept feeling and smelling their very best. By following this up with a Paw Balm, you can lock in moisture to prevent dry or cracked paws, the colloidal oatmeal in our Nose and Paw Balm will also aid in forming a barrier on the paw to help protect the paws against irritants like the grit/salt on the ground during winter.
Authors Top Pick!
One of my (Chelsea) absolute favourites in our vegan range is our Pet Wipes. The Pet Wipes are fragrance free, alcohol-free and, of course, vegan. They are biodegradable, come in packs of 110 and are suitable for use on all pets. Ideal for cleaning off muddy pets, the wipes can be used on the belly, paws and face and come with a resealable top to maintain moisture and prevent the wipes drying up. This makes them ideal for the car, or for use on-the-go.

Supplement Range
Your pet’s health doesn’t have to suffer when switching to veganism. Our extensive supplement range contains vegan alternatives so that your pet can continue feeling their best throughout Veganuary and beyond. The Bugalugs Flaxseed Oil is a great vegan alternative to Salmon Oil, and contains high levels of Omega 3,6 and 9, this helps to keep your pet’s joints and hips in good condition. It’s also beneficial for their heart, skin and coat, and immune health. Simply add the Flaxseed Oil to your pet’s normal food and follow the feeding guide on the back of the bottle. If you’re looking for a supplement powder with similar benefits, then look no further than our Turmeric and Flaxseed Powder. Rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, the Turmeric and Flaxseed Powder promotes healthy skin and coat, it aids in supporting joint health and encourages mobility and flexibility, it’s also beneficial for your pet’s cardiovascular health and their immune system. With no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, it’s a must have for Veganuary.
Supplements can often be relied upon to calm anxious pets. Luckily, our Hemp Oil is vegan and can be used throughout Veganuary. The Hemp Oil supports your pet’s joints, skin and coat and their immune system, but it is also very good at promoting calm by reducing stress and anxiety. This supplement is ideal for anxious or stressed pets and can be used to calm pets around stressful events like vet visits or bonfire night. It’s packed full of Omega 3, 6 and 9 and is 100% natural, making it perfect for your pet’s health this Veganuary. The Hemp Oil can be used on top of food, on lick mats, or inserted directly into the mouth using the pipette lid. If you choose to use the Hemp Oil on a lick mat, we’d recommend using our vegan Peanut Butter as a topper. It’s made from 100% roasted peanuts and it’s tasty for dogs over 8 weeks old. The Peanut Butter is grain and gluten free, rich in protein and healthy fats, and is full of natural vitamins B and E. By encouraging your pet to try a lick mat, you can help distract them from feeling anxious or stressed in situations. Instead, that negative energy will be spent trying to eat the peanut butter from the lick mat. Lick mats are particularly good as boredom breakers, distractions, or as a reward for pets. We have an array of lick mats, bowls and pads in a variety of colours to suit all pet’s needs and preferences.
Author’s Choice
My favourite vegan supplement is the Plaque Remover. It’s 100% natural and naturally abrasive which means plaque and tartar is removed from the teeth naturally whilst your pet eats. It is ideal for fussier cats and dogs over the age of 12 weeks who dislike getting their teeth cleaned as the Plaque Remover does not require brushing. It’s easy-to-use and can be added to your pet’s normal food. With continuous use, most pet owners see results within 3-8 weeks. Not only this, but it’s a rich source of calcium, vitamins and minerals which helps to support healthy teeth and gums, as well as a fresher breath.

Coming soon, we have our Pumpkin Powder. Vegan, 100% natural and packed full of goodness, the Pumpkin Powder is going to be a great supplement to grab for your Veganuary journey. Our Pumpkin Powder is great for digestive and anal gland health, it helps to support regular bowel movements, aids scooting and ensures healthy stools. It’s high fibre content makes it ideal for pets who suffer with digestive issues such as constipation and diarrhoea, as well as those who suffer with anal gland issues and the odours associated with that. If that wasn’t enough, our Pumpkin Powder is a natural prebiotic which helps to balance your pet’s microbiome for a healthier immune system, cleaner ears, a fresher breath, and reduced stress levels. It’s also rich in vitamins A, C and E and is packed with natural antioxidants which can help with retina and cornea function as well as aiding to slow down the affects of aging on the eyes. Pumpkin Powder is also naturally filling, so it can help with weight management for overweight pets ensuring they stay fuller for longer. You can use the Pumpkin Powder on top of food as a tasty topper, or you can make it into a puree by adding water. You can also freeze the puree and make cool treats for your pet or put it on top of one of our lick products to create a tasty boredom breaker for your dog.
