Happy 3rd Birthday to Our Bear, Zamba

We might be a few days late (because of Easter) but, today we celebrate our handsome boy, Zamba… three years of love, loyalty, and a bond that words could never fully capture.

From the moment Zamba came into our lives, everything changed. There’s just something about him, the way he carries himself with quiet confidence, the way his eyes soften when he looks at Gia, the way he protects, loves, and feels so deeply.

Rottweiler birthday

Rottweilers are often misunderstood. He is gentle, patient, and deeply connected to us in a way that still amazes me every day. Especially with Gia… their bond is something truly special. It’s built on trust, loyalty, and a kind of love that is pure.

Zamba’s Birthday Feast: Raw Mince Meatballs

This year, we’re celebrating Zamba in a way that suits him perfectly… simple, natural, and full of goodness.

No fancy cake needed, just something he truly loves: raw mince meatballs.

Ingredients:

  • Fresh raw mince (beef or chicken)
  • Optional: finely grated carrots or zucchini for added nutrients
  • Optional: a raw egg for binding and extra protein

Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Roll into medium-sized meatballs.
  3. Serve fresh (or slightly chilled) as a special birthday treat.

Best Dog Multivitamin Chews for Immune, Gut & Allergy SupportĀ 

I thought I was doing everything right for Kiki and Zamba… until I realised there are things you can’t always see when it comes to their health. That’s what led me to trying the Pets Are Kids Multivitamin Chews.

pets are Kids multivitamin

What I liked about these multivitamin chews straight away is that they’re not just a basic multivitamin.

They’re designed to support:

  • immune health (which matters more than we think)
  • allergy support (especially as seasons change)
  • gut health (which affects everything)
  • and overall daily wellness

It’s that all-in-one support that made it make sense for me. It’s easy to buy something once… but the real question is, will you actually keep using it?

Pets are Kids multivitamin

For me, that’s a very easy YES! It’s one chew a day for Kiki and a few for Zamba, they taste like treats so they both really enjoy their multivitamin and it fits into our daily routine without me even thinking about it. 

What I’ve noticed in the few months Kiki and Zamba have been taking them is nothing overhyped or unrealistic. Just that they are happy, extremely active, their gut health is in tip top condition and so is their skin and fur!

You don’t need to overhaul everything you’re doing, you don’t need to do anything drastic. But adding something like the Pets Are Kids Multivitamin is such an easy step that actually supports your pups a lot more than you realise.

Pets are Kids Multivitamin

Honestly, this is one of those products that just makes sense. We absolutely love the Pets Are Kids Multivitamin and they will remain part of our daily routine for a very long time!
