Our microbiome could be the key not just to our health but also our happiness, but what is it? How does it affect us in everyday life and what can we do to ensure its optimum health? Holistic vet Nick Thompson MRCVS explains.

We are so excited to introduce our newest Verm-X Ambassador, Claudia Audley from Bury Green Poultry.   Through her website, her subscription courses and especially through her incredible Instagram account,...

"The more we worm with pharmaceuticals, the more resistance we get..." Holistic vet, Nick Thompson MRCVS explains.

The team at Verm-X are all passionate about feeding our animals the most natural and healthy food possible.

Many of us choose to feed our cats and dogs Biologically Appropriate Raw Food (BARF), a diet that's close to what their ancestors would have eaten in the wild,  starting from when they're small.

But, at what age can you start feeding your puppy raw food?

What makes dogs itch? Dogs can itch for various reasons, and determining the exact cause of the itching can sometimes be a challenge.

We asked our consultant vet Dr Nick Thompson to go over some of the reasons our furry friends itch, and how you can treat and even prevent it.

Worming, or deworming, is an essential part of puppy care to protect them from internal parasites.

Puppies can be born with or can acquire worms from their mother, so establishing a routine to protect them is important.

So, when and how should you worm your puppies? 

The perfect summer treat for your furry friend, our ambassadors Dee Dee and Alex have created another tasty recipe for you to try.

This time, they've added our Verm-X Organic Dog Food Topper: Joint Support Blend, a supportive blend of organic herbs, spices and botanicals to support dogs suffering from joint issues, but you can use any of our food toppers instead.

When it comes to providing raw bones for dogs, it's  important to prioritise your pet's safety and choose the right types of bones to avoid potential health issues.

We asked Dr Nick Thompson, our consultant vet, for his tips on which bones are suitable for which dogs.

As part of our commitment to be kinder to animals and kinder to the planet, we'd like to encourage everyone to reduce their plastic consumption and waste throughout this month.

The Verm-X team were lucky enough to meet so many wonderful dogs at our shows last year, and one in particular caught our eye.

Reggie was just a puppy when we first met him at DogFest and a year later we are so proud to have his as an official ambassador for our products.

We spoke with his dog mum Jessica to learn a bit more about him.

Grass eating happens for a number of reasons, we spoke to some experts to find out more.
