Eating

Our dog has a big appetite. There’s a running joke in our house that he’ll eat anything (even the cat’s biscuits). When we first had him, we didn’t realise how careful we’d need to be about leaving certain foods out in our kitchen. We’d always thought that the biggest dangers were the ones outside the […]

We regularly cook with squash.  It’s a versatile ingredient and as colorful as it is healthy and affordable. Butternut and spaghetti squash are two of our favourites, so we use them a lot in soups, stews and curries, but we’re big fans of pumpkins, too, especially pumpkin pie (who isn’t?). We’ve written a series of

We’ve said it before: we’re big fans of breakfast cereal.  There are always open boxes in our cupboards.  We revealed in our last post that our dog likes Weetabix and that sometimes we also let him slurp up the last few shreddies left in the bowl.  However, the more we read the more we realised

We love breakfast cereal in our house and get through boxes and boxes of the stuff.  Our dog seemed to love it too.  He’s a sneaky thing, and we’ve caught him lapping up the milk-mush remains of our breakfast a few times. We didn’t always realise the potential dangers of feeding our dog food made

We love Shreddies. They’re a real breakfast staple in our house.  When we’re washing up, our dog will often investigate our empty bowls and sniff away at any wheat squares still lingering in puddles of milk. Sometimes we let him have one or two but can dogs eat Shreddies? Or should we be more careful?

Most dogs are snafflers.  They’ll eat anything the moment your back is turned.  It could be a loaf of bread pulled off the counter and quickly eaten or the last few licks of jelly still left on a spoon or plate.  Our dog has eaten a few things over the years that we’ve worried or

Bread is a staple in our house. We all love it.   When it’s left on the counter our dog has a good sniff before one of us has to snatch it away. We’ve found that quite funny, but recently we’ve read a few posts that have made us re-think where we leave our bread-based

Dogs eat all sorts of strange things. As owners, we need to know what’s suitable for our pets to eat.  We want to keep our dogs away from harm, rewarding them with safe suitable snacks. It’s surprising how many human foods are toxic to dogs and responsible owners will want to know what’s safe and

We enjoy giving our pets a reward or snack.  It makes them happy and it makes us happy, too.  But the food we enjoy eating can be harmful to them, and sometimes it’s hard to know which foods are safe and which aren’t. Yogurt is one example.  We love it. It’s a real staple in our
