In December 2021, our beautiful Queen Bella turned 15. Bella has always been a robust and healthy dog and has aged very gracefully. Bella is the eldest of our 5 dogs, but we often get asked if she is the youngest, probably because she still looks quite youthful and is the smallest. We have raised all our dogs on Big Dog and feel that good nutrition combined with exercise and mental stimulation has contributed to their good health. Bella has achieved a lot in her 15 years, excelling as an agility competitor. She has achieved an extraordinary amount of titles in both ADAA and ANKC agility achieving her Agility Champion Title in both organisations as well as being State and National Champion multiple times in both organisations. No doubt good nutrition helped her remain competitive for such a long time.

As a naturopath myself, I am very passionate about whole, raw food nutrition as the foundation for good health, which is why I am pleased to have discovered Big Dog. It’s great to have the convenience of a commercial dog food that you can be confident is nutritionally well-balanced and manufactured to high quality standards. I still remember visiting Big Dog in the early days to pick up orders direct from the factory. It’s been great to see Big Dogs continued commitment to quality over the years and I loved a lot of the changes over the years, especially the new Well-being recipe.

​

As most old dogs do, Bella has had some health issues in recent times. Her ability to bounce back from ill health is quite remarkable. She is still a resilient, happy dog enjoying life and being the Queen of her younger siblings and our household. Long may she reign!
