Discover the Passion Behind Pet Play: Rachael Ivtsan’s Journey
Rachael Ivtsan, the driving force behind Pet Play and Moonstone Stables, has dedicated her life to animals. Her passion for equestrian pursuits and dog breeding has led her on a remarkable journey. Despite starting her career later in life while raising two children, Rachael quickly demonstrated her talent in training dressage horses to the highest standards and breeding exceptional pedigree dogs.
For over 20 years, Rachael has been training horses and breeding Dachshunds in both England and the Netherlands. In 2024, she relocated to the Algarve, Portugal, bringing with her 10 top-level dressage horses and 11 purebred standard Dachshunds.
The BARF Approach: A Commitment to Optimal Dog Health
Rachael’s extensive experience in animal care has given her unique insights into the best nutritional practices for both her horses and dogs. For years, she has been feeding her dogs with a carefully selected raw meat diet, also known as BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food). This approach has proven to be the best resource for ensuring healthy, happy dogs.
Bringing BARF to Portugal: Quality Raw Meat for Your Pets
Falling in love with the Portuguese people and their dedication to pet care, Rachael decided to share her expertise by making BARF feed more accessible and affordable in Portugal. Through Pet Play, she and her dedicated team are committed to providing the best raw meat options for dog owners who want to offer their pets the healthiest diet possible.
