We’ve written a few posts about the different foods dogs can and can’t eat. As an owner, it can feel like a dietary minefield because some types of food that sound safe for dogs can be harmful. You may remember that we mentioned food bloat in a recent post on what happens when a dog …
Whenever I write one of these posts, I always think that, as dog owners, we don’t always get to choose what our dogs put in their mouths. You pick the dog food. You can buy all the good treats and toys, but you can’t stop your dog from chewing or chowing down on something found …
Can Dogs Eat Biscotti? We’ve written a few articles now on some of the strange things that dogs like to eat. One question that we’ve seen asked a few times on the internet and in forums is can dogs eat biscotti? Biscotti is an Italian cookie with a nutty flavour. Almonds and hazelnuts are common …
We’re used to giving our dog white rice whenever he has an upset stomach. We’ve never really considered yellow rice as an option, even though we often have it when we’re eating Indian or Spanish food. Yellow rice is white rice, but it’s coloured with either turmeric or saffron. Both are generally considered to be …
We assumed we knew the answer to this question. It turns out that we didn’t. We’re often surprised about what’s OK (or not OK) for dogs to eat, and we’ve written in the past about our pups eating plant leaves and even scrambled eggs with cheese! But what about something that we assumed must be …
Strangely enough, when we first got our cat, we started realizing how drawn she was to some of our indoor flowers. We didn’t think pets would be that interested in plants and foliage, especially when they had plates of meat and biscuits to enjoy. But we noticed it so much more when we got our …
We eat scrambled eggs at least once a week in our house. We have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner because it’s quick, cheap, and filling and because it’s excellent comfort food. We also cook plain scrambled eggs and give them to our dog when he has an upset stomach. But what about adding dairy? …
It seems like a strange question to ask: why would anyone be feeding their dog balsamic vinegar? It’s not as if the bottles are on the shelves of our pet stores – darling, did you buy the salad dressing for Fidget’s kibble? But questions like this are inevitable when you have a dog. Some breeds …
As owners, we need to be careful about what we’re feeding to our dogs. Of course, that’s easier said than done. Our dog is rarely so quiet as when he’s trying to sneak food from somewhere. We’ve learned to be careful about the types of snacks we leave out. We don’t feed him crisps, but …
We’ve learnt to keep any biscuits and cookies shut away in the cupboard. The days when we could leave half a packet out on the side ended once we got our dog. He’s something of a snack snaffler. Over the years, he’s eaten a few things that he shouldn’t have. We’ve been lucky that it’s …
