KILO - The dog himself!

We thought it was only right that we share our story of Kilo with you all, so you can see how personal our brand is to us.

Jason bought Kilo as a puppy back in 2012 from Cardiff where they lived together for many years.  When myself and Jason met, Luna (miniature dachshund) was only 6 months old. We had a long distance relationship from Staffordshire to Cardiff for two years, until we finally moved into our first home together in Staffordshire. Kilo and Luna settled in very quickly and were spoilt rotten!

Within two months of being in our new home he developed IVDD and was paralyzed from midway along his spine. Fortunately I am a veterinary nurse which enabled me to nurse him back to health from home when the vets became too much for him. Every day we noticed small amounts of progression and with the odds against him, he made a full recovery.

Approximately six months later Kilo had ongoing diarrhoea and was losing weight so his vet was worried he had an abdominal tumour. We did not want to put him through any invasive surgery so opted for medical management with routine blood tests… once again Kilo bounced back after a different medication trials and was diagnosed with irritable bowel disease. 

In the end, it was little legs and IBD that got the better of him. In September 2023 we made the difficult decision of putting Kilo to sleep, but in his true style he demolished 20 chicken nuggets to help him on his way.

We wanted to make our small business about him as he was so incredibly special to us - we hope you can see how his face is the logo of our brand and why we loved him so much. The best boy 🐾
