Stacey Solomon has shared an update about the health of her family dog Teddy. The Sort Your Life Out presenter regularly keeps fans updated with her life in Pickle Cottage on Instagram.
The 35-year-old took to the social media platform in April to share some sad news as she revealed her pet dog had been taken to the vets for emergency treatment. She shared a snap on Instagram, alongside the caption: “Our darling Teddy. Teddy became suddenly unwell on Thursday. It turns out he has a predisposed condition we had no idea about as he was a rescue.
“He has been operated on by incredible vets and the next 3-4 days are crucial for him to get through, even then, he might not ever fully recover.” A further update from the Loose Women panellist revealed Teddy will always need additional care. Stacey admitted “we are all truly devastated” after the operation.
She told followers that Teddy will never get the feeling back in his legs and will need the help of the family with urinating, assisted walks and physio forever. Stacey added that she is “confident” her and husband Joe Swash can give him the happiest life and all “the love” he deserves.
In a new photograph shared of the family pet today, Stacey wrote: “Happy Tuesday. While I was working yesterday Teddy went with Leanne from @hopefieldanimalsanctuary and had a hair cut and groom, he’s so happy.
“He’s doing so well with his physio and just being the amazing boy even though he can’t use his legs anymore.” The ITV star is mum to Zachary, 18, Leighton, 12, Rex, 5, Rose, 3 and Belle 2. She welcomed her first son, Zachary, when she was 17 with her childhood sweetheart Dean Cox. She had Leighton with her ex-fiancé Aaron Barnham.
Stacey has two dogs named Teddy and Peanut, and five ducks. Teddy is a Cocker Spaniel, and Peanut is a Dachshund. She and her family also recently welcomed four new chicks to their home at Pickle Cottage.
Away from her home life, Stacey recently travelled to Italy as part of an exciting career step. She launched her own beauty product, the product is a shimmer hair and body mist that hydrates and leaves skin “glowing” and hair “gleaming”.
Stacey visited Lake Como where the the Rehab factory is located, to launch the new shimmer spray. Sharing a post to social media, the ITV star shared her appreciation for the opportunity as she wrote: “Thank you Lake Como what a dream come true.” Rehab, the company that Stacey co-owns has already amassed close to 210,000 followers.
Alongside the caption, Stacey shared a series of photos from her time in Italy, including wearing a swimsuit as she posed with the bottle of shimmer spray. Other photos showed her enjoying the sights of Lake Como and spending time with friends.
Stacey became a co-owner and business partner in the haircare brand Rehab in 2023. The brand was founded in 2022 by Vicky Ellis and Anastasia Tozer.
After the news was announced that Stacey was joining the team two years ago, Vicky and Anastasia said: “We want to thank each and every one of you for believing in our small brand.
“We are just two best friends that had a dream to create hassle-free, eco-conscious hair care products that make your hair fabulous and your routines easier.
“To announce that Stacey has joined REHAB. means the world to us. Her dedication to championing women, standing for products she believes in and providing a light of positivity with her platform are all the things REHAB. stands for.”
