We've recently started working with our friends at the Oxford Sandy and Black Pig Charity, whose mission is to conserve this rare breed of pig and educate first-time pig-keepers. They've kindly written a guest post for us explaining what makes the Oxford Sandy and Black pig so special.

We are absolutely delighted to announce that we are now certified as a B Corporation (or B Corp). This means that Verm-X is joining a growing group of companies that are reinventing business by pursuing purpose as well as profit.

After a comprehensive evaluation process, we have been certified by B Lab, the not-for-profit organisation behind the B Corp movement, as having met the rigorous social and environmental standards which represent its commitment to goals outside of profit.  

As the evenings shorten and the weather begins to turn, you might find that your chickens have stopped laying and have begun to moult. This shouldn’t be a cause for concern, it is an annual occurrence for most birds.

Recently, we had the pleasure of reading Sustainable Garden: Projects, insights and advice for the eco-conscious gardener by Marian Boswall, which offers helpful tips, guidance and step-by-step projects designed to help build a low-impact, considerate outdoor space.

Marian is a leading landscape architect, horticulturalist and the co-founder of the Sustainable Landscape Foundation. She was a lecturer in Historic Garden Conservation at Greenwich University for several years, and she writes and lectures on sustainable design and was awarded Garden Columnist of the Year in 2019. 

If you love healthy recipes for dogs and Foodie Fridays (often with freshly picked herbs from the garden), then Verm-X Ambassador Dee Dee is your girl.

She's smart, energetic and affectionate, the perfect companion to Alex and James: "We love nothing better than hiking, bouldering and wild swimming with Dee Dee by our side!"

Ru and Flo are family pets and working organic farm dogs who live in the English countryside. They both love the outdoors, whether it’s playing in the bracken, swimming in local rivers, or frolicking in bluebell woods.

Natural prevention is hugely important to them in regards to respect for the environment and we've been honoured to have them as part of the Verm-X family for over a year now. 

At a recent DogFest in Tatton Park, we had the pleasure of meeting Liv and her beautiful Fox Red Labrador Retriever, Huxley. Hux is a two-year-old assistance animal with a big personality who helps Liv with her epileptic seizures and anxiety.

Liv was kind enough to talk to us about what he does for her and she also sent us these incredible photos of Hux enjoying our Crunchies.

A perfect way to cool your dog off, these frozen dog treats are both delicious and refreshing on a hot summer's day. They'll also leave your pet with minty fresh breath and a shiny coat.

The addition of our Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, which is said to aid digestion and improve the absorption of nutrients and is used by many to aid in joint support and mobility in dogs, means even more health benefits.
