Hey there!
This is Billy, the Shih Tzu who believes he is always entitled to eat when his humans are eating.
And I am Vanessa, the human who is always inspecting Billy’s poops.
Let me tell you about the inspiration behind this beautiful journey.
It all started with my fur-ever baby, Billy, a charming Shih Tzu who has stolen my heart. Billy isn’t just any dog. He’s a little bundle of joy, a true angel in fur. Quick to learn, hardly ever barks, and our connection was instant. I couldn’t have asked for a better companion.
This is Billy at 4 months old when he entered my life.
I believe in cherishing these incredible creatures, like Billy, for as long as we possibly can, ensuring they lead the healthiest, happiest lives. It’s the least they deserve, right?
How it all began…
From the very beginning, it became apparent that Billy has a sensitive gut. He would:
- vomit up yellow bile early in the morning a few times per week,
- produce soft stools non-stop, and
- heavy tear stains around his eyes.
Despite seeking advice from multiple veterinarians, nothing seemed to make it better. Frustration and concern welled up within me as I witnessed Billy continue to suffer.
This is Billy at 5 months old. You can see he was not in good shape.
The heart-wrenching truth was that no conventional treatments could offer the comfort and healing he needed.
So, I embarked on a quest to provide Billy with the best, and in the process, I immersed myself in the world of pet nutrition, home remedies, and holistic dog care.
Over time, a transformation occurred that was nothing short of miraculous – Billy’s condition began to stabilize and manageable.
From a similar angle, you can tell from his hair, eyes, and facial expression that he looks so much better now.
It was a journey of an unwavering commitment to providing Billy with the highest quality of life.
However…
But here’s the thing, as I delved deeper, I discovered a sea of misinformation on the internet. It felt overwhelming, and I knew there had to be a better way.
Also, the internet echoed with stories of countless Shih Tzu owners facing the same daunting challenge, seeking answers and solutions for their Shih Tzu. It was then that
I understood my new mission: to share the wisdom I had gained, the holistic approaches (that helped Billy) with fellow Shih Tzu owners worldwide.
So, Billy’s Paw is created…
Billy’s Paw is all about helping fellow dog lovers, especially those lucky enough to have a Shih Tzu in their life, make the right choices.
