#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 🧠✨

My story and why #MentalHealthAwareness is so important to me - (TW: SELF HARM/SUICIDAL IDEATION)
Mental Illness is something I have battled with, for many years, I am still really new to my diagnoses of ADHD, EUPD/BPD, Anxiety and Depression. Its been a very long road and I must say, having dogs has given me my reason. Daisy, literally saved my life. I was at a loss and so lonely and very manic I harmed myself and consumed a large amount of substance with the intention of no longer being here. Daisy looked at me, she cuddled me, licked away my tears and would not leave my side. When I realised I could not leave her, I reached out for help and the rest is history.
Some days are so tough, but having two amazing dogs who need me, make it worth it. I wouldn’t be the person I am today, if I did not reach out for help. Dogs give so much joy to your life, they give you a reason for waking up, getting outside, reduces loneliness and adds structure to your day. Dogs don’t ask for much, they just want love and they in turn will love you forever.
Every year, 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem and too many of us aren’t getting the help we need. Over 2 million people are waiting for NHS mental health services, and since 2017 the number of young people struggling with their mental health has nearly doubled. Please see below for resources:

Anyone else’s dog get THIS excited when they’re near their fave place🥺?!
🤍BARC LONDON🤍
We were kindly sent these amazing harnesses and gorgeous vegan leather leads. These are one of my favourites, literally perfect for dogs all shapes and sizes.✨
They come in six beautiful colours with matching collars and leads. They are such gorgeous high quality products✨
City Harness:
These are perfect for ANY dog, they are so adjustable for any body shape and if you have a Dachshund you know how hard it is to find one that is small enough to fit their petite frame but doesn’t irritate their arms pit!
We were kindly sent a versatile lead and a city lead.
•The versatile lead is so gorgeous, beautiful hardware and so handy to walk Poppy with one hand.
•The city lead comes with the same beautiful hardware but a large clip and more loops meaning I can wear Daisy round my waist!

How dare she save me from a choking hazard 🥲 I tried my best to save him x
Come to the beach + try some new snackies👅✨
We were kindly gifted Petto’s brand new soft bakes - they are plant based which are AMAZING for our sensitive tums. We have protein based allergies so unfortunately we don’t get to branch out to new treats often to avoid sore tums and bums.
When Mum seen these amazing treats we were excited! (Mum mostly when she seen Peppermint, she says our breaths are “stimky”🤨) cheeky lady!
These treats are so yummy and full of healthy ingredients. We tried Kiss Me Again, these are made with Bloobs🫐 Sweet Tatties🍠 and Peppermint!
Very yummy, we approve 🐾✨
They come in 2 brand new soft bake flavours designed for small dogs & puppies to enjoy🤍!
•Kiss me again - Peppermint, blueberries & sweet potato
•Jump & Run - Turmeric, carrots & coconut oil
