- Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high-quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic). Avoid excess salt in your pet’s diet. Consider switching to Vondi’s Natural Cooked Food or Doggobone Active Raw Food – both available from the Feelgood Health shop in Westlake, Cape Town.
