Are you the type of dog owner that when they are preparing their vegetables for the evening meal has two containers for any waste or off cuts. One is the compost bin, the other is your dog’s bowl. Raw broccoli is a great example of this for me. After all, what do you do with …
Back in the early 2000’s my (then) wife went through a faze of eating celery. She would eat a few sticks per day, in the same way that other people might snack on a protein bar or a rice cake… I mean, at the time we were living in California…. The real attraction of raw …
It is only really quite recently that I have realised how much I like the taste of cabbage. I mean not raw cabbage but lightly steamed green cabbage. And red cabbage is a real treat. Like most vegetables, cabbages need to be peeled. And I’m not talking about using a physical peeler, I’m talking about …
I’m a keen fan of vegetables and I prefer my dinner plate to be overflowing with vegetables rather than meat. But even I struggle with asparagus. Sometimes, I can be chasing it across my plate because it can be so difficult to cut into it! And then when you are chewing it? It doesn’t seem …

So by my calculations, people are eating double the amount of broccoli than they are cauliflower. Broccoli …
Shocking as it may seem, everyday in America, 150,000 tonnes of food are wasted every single day. Which is roughly one lb per person. It is numbers like that get me thinking about waste. I often feed my dogs cauliflower leaves. Part of the reason is because I hate waste (and my wife won’t tolerate …
I’m a keen fan of carrots. I tend to try and eat one on a daily basis which my dogs are more than happy about because I normally snap off the ends for them. But I have never tried feeding frozen carrots to my dogs but I know this is something that interests lots of …
Pumpkins will always be most strongly associated with Halloween. The sight of them lit up on people’s doorsteps on 31st October is a sight to behold And for me, as a Brit, Halloween is a very American tradition. It is hard to describe just how much America is in love with pumpkins and so I …
Some questions that dog owners are very, very specific and in today’s blog post I want to answer one of these. And the question is “can dogs eat frozen peas?” Although in our mind’s eye we often picture dogs with bones and associate them with just meat, dogs need to eat both meat and vegetables …
