Running a vegan or ethical business often means juggling two worlds: staying true to your values while trying to grow in a system built for profit over purpose.

It’s easy to get swept up in day-to-day tasks, trends, or the pressure to compromise, and eventually lose sight of why you started. The Collins-Porras Vision Framework can help. Originally developed for large corporations, this approach is surprisingly powerful for small, vision-driven businesses. It offers a practical way to define your core values, purpose, and long-term goals, so every decision you make takes you closer to the world you’re trying to build.

Pet food made with ‘Mediterranean gold’

The company’s commitment to sustainable production includes using carob, a widely popular tree fruit in the Mediterranean region. Carob is sweet, protein-rich, and can serve as a chocolate substitute.

“Carob enhances taste and brings various digestive health benefits,” Tsappis said. “For this reason, it’s known as the ‘gold of the Mediterranean.’ Cypriots recognize carob as a powerful and beneficial ingredient. It’s also highly palatable, so by including it in our pet food, we promote both taste and health.”

“It really is the same playbook and there’s no coincidence about that because in some cases it’s the exact same people who are reading from that playbook. They’re the people who devised some of the tobacco industry tactics who were then hired by the fossil fuel companies to import those tactics into the fight to deny the climate breakdown and to prevent action from being taken. And now the same people are cropping up in the employer of big meat defending the livestock industry against its critics and putting out a plethora of lies”, explained Monbiot.

Lauren and Vit D3 –

In my canine nutritional training the recommendation is:  Recommended daily dose = 5 IU per pound (For a 55.115-pound dog (Luna): 5 IU/lb * 55.115 lbs = 275.575 IU per day is the recommendation – 1925IU per week

Currently our fresh feeding uses VegDogs All in Veluxe with Vitamin D included. For her weight the recommendation is 15g per day and based on my calculations means she is getting 420 IU of Vitamin D per day – 2940IU per week

On the FEDIAF recommendations per 1000cal of food the recommendation is 138IU per day – As Luna eats nearly 1400 calories a day the intake should look to be around 193 IU per day – 1351IU per week

About air fresheners Michael Mosley –

So we thought house plants. Now, NASA had done an experiment in the late eighties where they had in an enclosed space, they had increased levels of what are called volatile organic chemicals. These are things like, you know, when you have air freshener these things, you know, they produce some quite nasty stuff like benzene, which is not terribly good for you. Indoor pollution. So what they’ve done is they’ve spread some of this stuff around, put some house plants in an enclosed space.

And indeed the house plants had reduced levels of benzene and also, you know, basically hydrated the chamber more. But people said, well, that’s an enclosed space, so, you know, what can you expect. But, there was another group in Australia who did it in open offices, and again, the introduction of house plants had quite a big impact on these volatile organic compounds.

And plus, you know, people kind of liked having them around.

Conventional meat production—for pets and people—has devastating consequences, including climate change, animal cruelty and risks to public health. Animals are fed diets laden with antibiotics, a primary contributor to antibiotic resistance in humans and pets, and hormonal steroids to accelerate their growth. The intensive confinement of animals to slaughter for meat is contributing to air and water pollution, deforestation, desertification and ocean dead zones, while also promoting deadly outbreaks and zoonotic diseases. More than 25 percent of the environmental impact of animal agriculture is attributed to feeding pets in the U.S. alone: if cats and dogs occupied their own country, they would be the world’s fifth largest meat-consuming nation.

SOS Serum from Cathy – https://www.sosserum.co.uk/

From vet Dermot Doherty about Vegetology Omega 3 level –

I usually see a recommended dose of omega 3 of about 50 to 100mg/kg and this is a webpage that suggests this range: https://caninearthritis.org/article/how-much-omega-3-fatty-acids-should-i-give-my-dog/

Your dose rate based on Vegetology Omega 3 is much less that this and I was curious why.
Each Vegetology capsule contains 400mg (800mg per serving, which is 2 capsules).

So your site recommends a 25kg dog gets 1 capsule daily which I work out as 16mg/kg but to achive 50 to 100mg/kg/day a 25kg dog would need 3 to 6 capsules daily.
Perhaps it has to do with the vitamin D3 content?

I’ve seen reference to the toxic dose of vitamin D3 as being 0.1mg/kg.  0.1mg = 100mcg = 4000iu according to my calculations.  At this rate giving the Vegetology capsules at 100mg/kg would be markedly below the toxic dose for D3.

So if one aims for a 10kg dog to get 100mg/kg of EPA from Vegetology then it would need 1000mg hence between 2 capsules (800mg) and 3 capsules (1200mg). If you went with 3 capsules it would get 5 to 7.5ug which is vastly under 1000mcg or 1mg considered the toxic dose for a 10kg dog.

In an October 2020 webinar hosted by the Pet Sustainability Coalition, he quoted from the Harvard Business Review: “Sustainability is a motherlode of innovation.” Plus, delivering value (with a product, for example) and capturing value in return (as with a profit) without regard to environmental and sustainable impact is not innovation; it’s exploitation, Schuster stresses. Start with constraints. “Creativity loves constraints,” he said. Those can be the situation or context, a specific need or limited resources. “Our minds love a context,” Schuster added, which sustainability provides. And innovation is usually driven by necessity, “our backs up against the wall.” It also often emerges from the bottom up, because those on the “frontlines” working directly with customers have the best and most immediate insights into their needs and pain points.

BBC NEWS – Would you switch your dog to eating lab-grown meat?

Many Pets – What is my pet’s carbon pawprint?

What a way to start 2023 – my very first academic paper published in PLOS ONE journal! I cannot thank Josh Milburn and Basia Yoxon enough for all their hard work on this collaboration.
In a nutshell, we found that there’s a significant market for cultivated (lab-grown meat) pet food, especially among vegans and vegetarian pet owners. Which is super interesting, because those are the people who would be less interested in eating cultivated meat themselves.
The clean pet food revolution continues!

Just be kind:

  • In times of uncertainty due to COVID 19 feelings of anxiety can arise. Here are 6 Self Love Rituals for Reducing Anxiety:
  • MEDITATE DAILY: Make it a habit to meditate every day, even for just one minute. Showing up consistently counts the most.
  • JOURNAL REGULARLY: Write about what you want to come into your life on a regular basis.
  • MOVE YOUR BODY: Exercise in ways that feel good to you. Exercise should never feel like punishment.
  • CATCH YOUR INNER CRITIC: Note when the inner critic is talking and remind yourself of the truth: You are enough as you are.
  • JUDGE LESS: Notice when you are judging others or getting caught up in the gossip, as this only reflects how harshly we judge ourselves.
  • GIVE YOURSELF SPACE: Schedule in a day off or carve out some time for yourself to connect back to you, because you deserve it. -@georgiethenaturopath
  • “When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.”- Abraham Joshua Heschel
  • “A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.”- Amelia Earhart

 

Facts:

  • Did you know that three dogs survived the sinking of the Titanic? Vetstreet states that the dogs were in first class. One of which included a Pomeranian puppy which the owner wrapped in a blanket to escape with, and everyone thought she was carrying a baby. The two other dogs included a Pomeranian and a Pekingese which were rescued.
  • The tallest dog in the world ever to be recorded was a Great Dane named Zeus! Measured 44 inches (3 feet 8 inches) on October 4th 2011, he is the current Guinness World Record holder.
  • Are you a Star Wars fan? If you are then you will love this amazing fact! The Los Angeles Times claims that George Lucas modelled the Ewoks after his family dog!
  • According to Psychology Today, a Greyhound would actually beat a Cheetah in a long distance race! Greyhounds are excellent long distance runners and can keep a speed of 35mph for up to 7 miles. Where a Cheetah is incredibly fast it can only keep its speed for around 200-300 yards, so they may have a head start but a Greyhound would soon take over!

Japanese Hospitality:

Omotenashi is the general term used to describe the concept of Japanese hospitality. It requires genuine empathy and goes beyond simply providing a service. It is essentially all about thinking from another person’s point of view.

-“Omote” means public face – an image you wish to present to outsiders. “Nashi” means nothing. To put them together it means every service is from the bottom of the heart where  there is honesty, no hiding, no pretending.

The idea of omotenashi is not unique to Japan because it comes from simply your care for others. This consideration could have a lasting impact on someone’s life.

-The word omotenashi has a meaning deeply rooted in the Japanese psyche. It’s not just being kind to guests, pouring tea, or cheerily saying hello and goodbye. Its history traces back to the grandfather of the Japanese tea ceremony, Sen no Rikyu (千利休), who in his teachings, says each tea ceremony is “ichigo ichie”—a once in a lifetime experience. Each meeting with a guest is a once in a lifetime experience, and every moment should be honoured. The host makes the guest feel as important and welcome as possible expecting nothing in return.

-In a Japanese tea ceremony, the host prepares every minute detail in order to create an unforgettable experience for the guest. They look at the little details like picking the correct flowers to match the guest’s personality, confections for the season, or pointing the cup in the correct direction for the guest all matter; even if the guest doesn’t take notice.

-This kind of care and attention to detail in one specific situation is a perfect microcosm of how Japanese culture sees hospitality. If one looks inside  a hotel- they will see the guest slippers always pointed in a direction allowing a guest to immediately take off his/her shoes and slip into them. A cashier turns money upright so it’s not upside down to the customer. When receiving a paper, it is always turned so one can immediately read it, and always given with two hands.

 

Just be kind:

  • It is important to be compassionate to oneself, why not try some affirmations for self forgiveness?: 1.) “Today I choose not to be hard on myself.” 2.) “It’s ok to make mistakes and I forgive myself.” 3.) From my mistakes I am learning to grow.” 4.) “I accept myself and all aspects of who I am.”
  • “People will forget what you said or did but will never forget how you made them feel”- Maya Angelou. An extra dose of kindness never goes to waste!
  • Small habits that will change your day… 1.) Practice self kindness and compassion when things don’t go your way. 2.) Commit to setting boundaries with the people in your life. 3.) Move your body once a day, in a way that makes you feel good. 4.) Unfollow all social media accounts that don’t bring you joy or inspiration. 5.) Seek help, and find the best ways to support yourself when you feel down. Have you taken up any small habits this year to look after yourself?

 

 

 

Facts:

  • Do you have a cat allergy? The main trigger for the allergic reaction to cats are proteins which are secreted in saliva (Fel d 4) and in the sebaceous glands (Fel d 1) in the skin of all cats. These proteins can be found on the coat of the cat because the cat grooms itself, and so deposits saliva (containing Fel d 4) on the hair, and because the secretions from the sebaceous glands (containing Fel d 1) will also surround the hair. However, the allergy is not to cat hair themselves. Fel d 4 also shed in urine and faeces.
  • The Beatles song ‘A Day in the Life’ has a frequency only dogs can hear. In an interview in 2013, Sir Paul McCartney said tat he added a frequency only dogs can hear to the end of the Beatles song ‘A Day in the life’ So watch your dog when you play the song!
  • If you thought all dogs barked then prepare yourself for this fact! Basenji dogs don’t bark, they yodel, whine or scream.

BBC NEWS – Would you switch your dog to eating lab-grown meat?

Many Pets – What is my pet’s carbon pawprint?

What a way to start 2023 – my very first academic paper published in PLOS ONE journal! I cannot thank Josh Milburn and Basia Yoxon enough for all their hard work on this collaboration.
In a nutshell, we found that there’s a significant market for cultivated (lab-grown meat) pet food, especially among vegans and vegetarian pet owners. Which is super interesting, because those are the people who would be less interested in eating cultivated meat themselves.
The clean pet food revolution continues!
