BECAUSE EVERY LIFE COUNTS: OUR FLOCK OF SHEEP
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL ANIMALS
Our flock of sheep is celebrating an Easter anniversary!
Exactly 3 years ago, we rescued them, and the flock keeps growing. This year, with your help, we would like to adopt two more rams and give them a happy, long life in the VEGDOG herd. With our Easter promotion (from 03/30 to 04/01/2024), we are giving you a 5% discount on your purchase*, while at the same time 5% will go into the pot for the care of the herd and further rescue operations.

ALL OUR SHEEP ARE SAFE AND SOUND.
OUR FLOCK OF SHEEP
The VEGDOG gang: that is, of course, our pack of dogs, but also our wonderful flock of sheep! We saved every single one of these little sheep from slaughter, so that today they can live a happy life. But: how do you actually end up with a rescued flock of sheep?
Once upon a time... at Easter. More precisely: shortly before Easter 2021. During an excursion, Tessa met a flock of sheep 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 be allowed to bring their lambs into the world and stay with them! And just like that, the VEGDOG team had a small flock of 13 sheep. Here you can see them in action:
TWO OF MANY FATES
Amelie the sheep was very ill at the start. She was suffering from liver damage, one leg was dislocated, and she was severely underweight. Emergency slaughter was imminent. We stepped in and covered the vet costs without hesitation, and thanks to osteopathic treatment, Amelie was able to put weight on her leg again. This allowed Amelie to enjoy her twilight years to the fullest until she sadly passed away in January 2022.
Cäsar was also a particularly moving case. The vets wanted to put him to sleep due to a joint condition and refused to treat him. At the time, the little buck was only eight months old. But we didn't want to give up on Cäsar.
We decided to treat him like one of our beloved VEGDOGs, as a member of the family—no matter the cost. So, we took him to a specialist clinic for dogs, where he received the treatment he deserved. You might be surprised that he was treated in a clinic for dogs. Unfortunately, "farm animals" are generally not fully treated when they are ill. Consequently, the veterinary facilities required for such a procedure are often lacking. It was an expensive decision, but anything else was out of the question for us.
Cäsar's fate reminds us that every life, whether it is a so-called farm animal or a pet, is precious and deserves to be saved.
Our little herd of sheep is just the beginning! While we are already saving many animal lives through the sale of our products, we want to do even more – for example, with further rescue missions. Every living being has the right to life, peace, and joy. That is why we want to keep growing the VEGDOG family and enable as many animals as possible to have a good life.
Stay tuned!
