Almost 100 thousand people have liked the post, but some were concerned about the private jet having a huge carbon footprints due to them having fewer people flying on them.

“Talks about saving the environment whilst flying his dogs around first class/on private jets,” ranted George Drake.

“If everyone had a carbon footprint as big as Lewis Hamilton we wouldn't have an earth left.”

Jonas Tillmann fumed: “He's flying with a private jet and telling everybody that he would live so consistently. Excuse me?”

Alex Caprowski joked: “Doesn't eats meat, flies on a jet.” Others questioned feeding the dog a meat-free diet.

One - called - Avniq - said: “What do you feed for protein?” Another said: “Dogs are carnivores.”

The 36-year-old F1 champion's bulldog has been on a plant-based diet for the last two years.

He put Roscoe on a meat-free diet to help cure his ailments.

Experts last year warned that meat-free food for dogs can be deficient in vital vitamins.

Nicole Paley, of the Pet Food Manufacturers' Association, said: “We advise that vegan diets – with no animal products – are carefully checked by a vet or animal nutritionist.”

And television vet Dr Scott Miller, who has appeared as an expert on BBC's Crufts, said a vegan diet could be “extremely dangerous” for dogs, and often removing meat from them was purely due to the preference of the owner.

He said: “Dogs and cats have sharper teeth for catching meat. As much as it makes sense for you to be a vegan, when it comes to our pets it's going to prove problematic.”

Recent studies have also speculated that raw dog food may spread antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The Real Risks: Weighing Vaccine Side Effects vs. Deadly Diseases

Some dog owners express concern about vaccine risks. Meanwhile, preventable diseases continue to pose a documented threat. For example, a two-year pause in dog rabies vaccination campaigns in Haiti resulted in a five to eightfold increase in animal rabies cases within a single year, creating a public health crisis that required an emergency response. This event illustrates a central fact: the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases are quantifiably greater than the known risks associated with vaccination. This article will address concerns about vaccine safety by examining the precise nature of both vaccine risks and disease threats, using verifiable data to support informed decision-making for your dog's health. The Biological Impossibility of Canine Autism The claim that vaccines cause autism in dogs is not supported by veterinary science due to fundamental biological reasons.

5 Must-Ask Questions Before You Leave Your Dog at the Groomer

A 2022 study in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior noted that over 50% of dogs show signs of stress during grooming. While severe physical injuries are less common, a single preventable incident is one too many. Cases like those in Louisiana, where dogs received ocular chemical burns from misused shampoo at a licensed facility, demonstrate that a groomer’s marketing claims are not a guarantee of safety. Your dog’s well-being depends on the protocols you cannot see. The only way to evaluate them is to ask direct, specific questions. The goal is not to create conflict, but to identify competence and build trust based on transparent practices. 1. “What is your exact step-by-step protocol for protecting my dog’s eyes during the bath?” The difference between a safe groom and a dangerous one lies in the specifics of execution.
