Dog nutrition or what dogs should or shouldn’t eat has fascinated me for a few years now. It all started when I started to make homemade food for our dog.
So here you are at the kitchen counter with your four legged sous chef stuck to you like glue. Well, he doesn’t really want to help prepare the meal, he would much rather help eat it. And tonight, the theme is Italian and you have decided on a pizza. The counter is a complete mess …
Picture this— you are sitting on the couch, munching on a yummy snack. Your furry friend comes along, tail wagging, eyes beaming and mouth salivating, hoping you will give them a wee bit of your snack. And so you give in, after all how can you say no to your adorable dog? It’s harmless right? …
You drag yourself from the car to the front door. It’s late and today was beyond crazy. Poor Rover must be starving by now. Is it okay to feed him this late? What happens if this becomes a regular thing? Will he be okay? Maybe you should consider investing in one of those self-feeder thingies. …

I don’t know about you, but my kitchen looks like a bomb has hit it when it comes to clearing up after a roast. Every saucepan and roasting pan has been used and there isn’t an inch of space on any of the work surfaces. A simple place to start in the mammoth task of …
