Why we do what we do
Sometimes to follow your passion it takes a life changing experience. Ours listened to the name Mowgli.
Mowgli was the dog that, many many years ago, made a young couple a family. The dog nobody wanted, because he was difficult, he wasn`t socialized and he was missing a leg, came into our lives like a bulldozer.
Not only did he make us a family, he also showed us what is really important: Keeping you and your loved ones healthy and enjoy life together.

With the special treatment his physical disability required over the years we learned about bodyphysics, various types of pain therapy and last but not least dieting.
Keeping a proud and hungry Cane Corso slim enough for a joyful life on 3 legs, while giving him all essential nutrients he needs, was a tightrope.

Till today we are grateful for the amazing support and expertise from our knowledgible dog dietist Steffi Wieland (www.matzundmoeter.de), physio expert Kiki Häusler (www.hundephysiotherapie-in-stuttgart.de) and the whole team at the vet practice of Petra Morlock (https://www.docmorlock.de/) in Stuttgart. Only with their untiring support, plus all the love we had, fun walks, buddy time with his best pals and a balanced diet, combined with his molosser typical stubbornness, Mowgli stayed with us many more years than anybody had expected. We miss him every day. But we know he had the best life he could have had.
The more we had to learn in our life with Mowgli, the more we found out, how much healing power lies in food. And all of a sudden it became clear that our different backgrounds, Philip as dedicated chef and passionate about food and Kim being a sports enthusiast focussed on all fitness aspects of body awareness, created the best base to learn about health and dieting.

We think about our best buddy Mowgli, who had to leave us in 2017, every single day and thanks to him today are certified and passionate dog diet consultants -
because we are convinced that as we brought dogs in ours lives, we owe them healthy food.
And that everybody who allows a dog steal his heart, deserves the longest healthy and happy life with his best friend.
