Often a thousand miles from the nearest vet. That’s the equivalent distance of London to Rome. Gary is living in a very remote and small Greenland settlement where 300 people live with 500 working sled dogs.

Welpi

“I go to extraordinary lengths to keep and eat myself healthy. I’ve the same dedicated attitude for my dogs’ diet too. I always want to watch my puppies grow from a healthy start. My kennel-breeding plan is long. Training my dogs is down to me. Quality supplement nourishment I leave to Welpi and administer it as a feed supplement to pregnant or nursing bitches and orphaned litters. I prefer winter litters. Coming into a cold polar dark world puppies potentially develop the best double-furred coats. By cold I mean minus 40°C.”

VETBED

“The Arctic is a world without trees or fields. It’s a logistical nightmare getting bedding like straw here. We have only two re-supply ships twice a year. Vetbed with its thick pile provides crucial insulating properties for my nursing bitches. Some synthetic furs tend to ice up offering no insulation in extreme cold, but not Vetbed. Wet combined with cold is a killer combination for litters of puppies. I cut to size and rotate my Vetbeds. They’re easily washed and dry fast."
