👜 Favourite walking bag
Bailey & Coco Bumbag I love this bumbag. I tried a few... but this can keep treats, a small bottle of water, phone, keys etc. I love the colour and mostly I love that the front pocket is magnetic and therefore perfect for treats.
👕 Outfits & Apparel
Wear wellies! For muddy walks or on the beach. I love FitFlops.
Comfort is key: leggings, joggers, lightweight jumpsuits and hoodies. I like Boody. And I love to design my own sweatshirts/hoodies at Streetshirt - use ANJA_YOGINI to save 15% (seen in photo above with a drawing of Alfie)
SparkPaws – Discount code: ANJA43391 – They make comfy hoodies & joggers for humans too!
🧠 Staying sane
🥤 HUEL – Fast, nutritious, complete plant-based food. I’m an actual fan since we got Alfie. With lifestyle changes, walkies, vet appointments, the anxiety, and staying present during seizures, it’s a lifesaver. My faves: Ready-to-drink-meals + Complete Nutrition Bars. Use ANJAYOGINI for £10 off your first order.
💤 Sleeping Well
Sleep makes everything easier. Especially when you’re a dog mum constantly listening for seizures.Yoga nidra + evening routines help
I use the 3D eye mask from Slumberite every single night – no pressure on eyelids + complete blackout. Use code ANJA_YOGINI for 25% off!
Grounding (during sleep or during the day) whether its walks in nature or on a Grounding Mat/Sheet at home. I’ve been using Grounding Well, and even Alfie curls up on it. Use GWANJALANGE for a discount.
🪷 Calming support
Frankincense essential oil is used for meditation to calm the mind, to breathe more calmly and deeply. It is also one of the things some seizure-pawrents use during seizures. Does it work in shortening the seizure? Not sure*, but it does calm us (humans), and Alfie seems to be able to sniff it too. Only take a little sniff a few times. Never apply to your dog or take internally.
*I am trying to find reliable research on Frankincense essential oil on seizures in dogs, but am failing to find any gold-standard papers. However, it might simply not have been researched enough.
Please remember these are simply some of our favourites and may not be suitable for all. We are sharing what works for us at this present moment.
