Super food for your best friend

Posted on Thursday, 13th May 2010 - 9:23pm in Articles by Lezli

After a chance meeting with Jonathan and Vicky of Darling's Real Dog Food at Crufts earlier this year, I came home with pockets stuffed full of liver treats - which Jem absolutely adored.  He went insane over the biccies too ...

That was strange because although Jem's an active dog with a healthy appetite, he's not unduly bothered about food if it's not at his usual meal time. Trying to reward him for good behaviour with treats just gets a look of vague disapproval.

So there had to be something really special with the liver treats and biccies.

A week or so later, a beautifully packed box of real dog food arrived. Chicken, beef and lamb - not 'flavour' but the real deal. The deep freeze was hastily reorganised so that we didn't end up with lamb dog food moussaka (would we have noticed?  I'm not sure).

Jem has now had a go at all the flavours, lamb seems to be the fave this week - and is eating with evident relish. I know this by the rolling and groaning as he cleans his post-prandial nose on the carpet.

Click on the link here to see how they make the food:

And before you ask,  no - we have no commercial links with Darling's!!  It's just brilliant food :-)

 

MOTORWAY WALKS - The Book

With nearly 200 walks from the Driving with Dogs website, this handy little book is an ideal guide to the best dog-friendly pubs and dog walks within 5 miles of UK motorway exits.

Like the website walks, you'll also find information about campervan access, disabled facilities, kids' activities, safe parking places, sat-nav codes and written route directions too.

Walking the Dog: Motorway Walks for dogs and drivers is available from the RAC shop (link URL http://www.racshop.co.uk/rac-books.html) and all the usual online bookstores such as amazon.

If your local bookstore doesn't have a copy in stock, you can order by quoting the ISBN number: 978-1-845841-02-7
