Adventures Of An Allergic Retiree: Zumma


Anxiety sent this former teaching beagle into an early retirement, but Zumma hasn’t let her fears slow her down.

Name Zumma
Nickname Scrappy-Doo, Goobie, Zoomboomafoo
Age 5 years
Breed(s) Beagle

During her time at the Atlantic Veterinary College, Zumma helped veterinary students learn about basic animal care. She also won the heart of her new pet parent, Brittney, who welcomed her into her home and has been encouraging Zumma to discover the world and conquer anxiety ever since.

On top of her anxiety, Zumma also struggles with environmental and food allergies. Thankfully, neither has affected her adventurous, fun-loving personality. Zumma still regularly braves the great outdoors with her sister and fellow retired teacher, Skye.

What’s Inside Zumma’s Waggle Mail Box?

To help her make the most of her retirement, we filled Zumma’s Waggle Mail box with products and information to support her mobility and accommodate her anxiety. Because she and her sister are closely bonded and love to share, we included items that would be Skye-friendly, too.

In general, each Waggle Mail box comes with up to eight items and a themed wellness booklet from our vet.

  • Vet-recommended health products (eg. anxiety support, joint supplements, shampoos, and more)
  • Effective and safe dental chews
  • Interactive dog toys and enrichment puzzles
  • Eco-friendly lifestyle accessories
  • Quality vet-selected treats

Here are a just a few of the vet-curated products we packed in Zumma’s dog subscription box:

This veterinary-exclusive line of calming dental chews does double duty, helping manage anxiety and preventing plaque and tartar buildup. Also, these chews are Plant-based, have no animal-derived ingredients, are gluten-free, and are easily digestible.

Portable and proven effective, these vet-proven wipes can easily be tucked into a day pack to keep ears and paws clean after a day of adventuring. These wet wipes are indicated for coat and skin conditions where the following properties would be beneficial to the patient: antifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic, and barrier repair.

Food allergies shouldn’t mean treats are off the table. We chose these single-ingredient hypoallergenic treats to motivate and keep moving. Kangaroo Cubes are 100% Kangaroo – made from leg meat – all-natural and free-range! Kangaroo meat is soft, chewy and perfect for healthy teeth.

Pet Parent Review

We asked Brittney to give us some pack feedback on Zumma’s Waggle Mail experience. This is what she had to say:

Opening our Waggle Mail box felt like a luxury dog subscription box experience! Everything, right down to the packaging, was absolutely beautiful and Zumma adored it all. The products were so personalized to Zumma’s health needs. The box was filled with products you can’t get at the pet store or on Amazon. We’re so impressed.
