BECAUSE EVERY LIFE COUNTS: OUR HERD OF SHEEP

The VEGDOG gang: This is of course our pack of dogs, but also our wonderful flock of sheep! We saved every single one of these sheep from slaughter so that they can now lead a happy life. But how do you actually get a rescued flock of sheep?

Once upon a time... at Easter. To be precise: shortly before Easter 2021. Tessa got to know a flock of sheep on an excursion and learned that many of the animals were sick or pregnant. The lambs were intended as Easter lambs and the mothers were also to be slaughtered later. For Tessa - a mother herself - it was clear: the sheep should give birth to their lambs and be allowed to stay with them! And hey presto, the VEGDOG team had a small flock of sheep with 13 animals. Here you can see them in action:

Sheep Amelie was very ill at the beginning. She suffered from liver damage, one leg was dislocated and she was severely underweight. Emergency slaughter was threatened. We quickly covered the veterinary costs so that Amelie could bear weight on her leg again thanks to her osteopathic treatment. Amelie was thus able to enjoy her final years to the fullest until she unfortunately passed away in January 2022.

Caesar was also a particularly touching case. The vets wanted to put him down due to a joint disease and refused to treat him. At the time, the little goat was only eight months old. But we didn't want to give up on Caesar.

We decided to treat him like one of our beloved VEGDOGs, like a member of the family - no matter what it cost. So we took him to a specialty dog ​​clinic where he received the treatment he deserved. You might be surprised that he was treated in a dog clinic. Unfortunately, so-called farm animals are usually not fully treated when they are sick. Therefore, there are no veterinary conditions here for such an intervention. It was an expensive decision, but everything else was out of the question for us.

Caesar's fate reminds us that every life, whether so-called farm animal or pet, is precious and deserves to be saved.

Our small flock of sheep is just the beginning! We already save many animal lives through the sale of our products, but we want to do more - for example with further rescue operations. Every living being has the right to life, peace and joy. That's why we want to keep growing the VEGDOG family and give as many animals as possible a good life.

Stay tuned!
