Hi, I’m Sasha—a traveler, dog lover, and passionate advocate for creating meaningful lives and happy moments with our pets.
My journey with Zen began during one of the toughest periods of my life. I was in a difficult and deeply challenging marriage in a new country, feeling completely lost and with no one on my side. That’s when Zen entered my life as a playful and energetic puppy. He brought a whirlwind of energy that pushed me to learn with him and for him. He gave me a reason to keep going, motivating me to grow as a person and a pet parent. Naming him Zen felt so fitting because he brought peace to my chaos and reminded me of the strength and joy that love can bring.
As Zen and I navigated those early days together, my determination to give him the best life possible grew stronger. I dedicated myself to learning everything I could about healthy dog nutrition. I spent countless hours researching, consulting with experts, and implementing what I learned to ensure Zen was as healthy and happy as he could be. This passion eventually turned into a mission, and recently, I launched the Healthy Dog Nutrition Academy. Through this platform, I’ve created an easy-to-follow course for pet parents, helping them understand how to extend their dog’s lifespan through proper nutrition. It’s my way of giving back and helping others build healthier, happier lives for their dogs.
My mission is to inspire people to take their dogs with them on life’s adventures but, ultimately, also to keep them healthy. This is possible only with good nutrition. On this blog, you can find some articles about dog food, but if you really want to dive deeper, join my Healthy Dog Nutrition Academy and community. Together, we can explore easy and practical ways to extend your dog’s lifespan and give them the healthy, happy life they deserve.
My blog, “Travel with Sasha and Zen,” is all about encouraging people to bring their pets along on life’s adventures. I understand that traveling with a dog might mean giving up some comforts and spending more money and time planning. But the unique experiences and lifelong memories are worth it. Not only will you relish the adventure, but your pup will also feel special and deeply connected to you after just one holiday together.
I hope my dog travel blog will provide you with ideas, inspiration, and encouragement to try it yourself. Traveling with your pet isn’t just about having company; it can also benefit your health. Studies show that spending time with pets reduces stress and anxiety. So, bringing your pet on trips benefits both you and them.
Humans have a natural desire to explore the world and connect with others. Our pets are often our closest companions; leaving them behind can be tough. But what if we could take them along on our adventures? Taking your pet on vacation isn’t just a trend; it’s about making life more inclusive and enjoyable. It’s about recognizing how important our pets are and bringing them along on our journeys. Imagine exploring new places with your pet, sharing experiences, and creating lasting memories together.
Now, it’s easier than ever to travel with your pet. Many hotels, airlines, and attractions are pet-friendly, making the world more accessible for pet owners. So, why not take advantage of it? Life is short, and the world is vast—don’t let anything stop you from exploring it all with your furry best friend
I don’t intend to criticize those who find using a doggy hotel or daycare easier and more convenient for their holidays. However, I want to offer various ideas, trips, itineraries, advice, tips, and tricks to show that traveling with your furry friend is possible. You might need to adjust a bit, which might cost a little more, but the unique experience and lifelong memories are worth it. Not only will you relish the adventure, but your pup will also feel special and connected to you after just one holiday together.
So, if you’re thinking about a vacation soon, don’t leave your dog behind—bring them along and savor the joys of travel together! I hope my dog travel blog and our stories can assist and inspire some of you to try it.
