The Truth About Puppuccinos

So, a few weeks ago, I got all in a huff about Starbucks Puppuccinos and posted the ingredients on a quick story on Instagram. But now with a little time I've circled back to my upset and realized that it's important I give this subject a little more air time...

TOP 5 TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST BONE BROTH EVER

Every time I post my bone broth I get messages asking how I get it to JIGGLE. And every time I wanna say I got it from my mama, but that’s not true, I got it from researching and making a billion batches of bone broth. So, although I’m not...

Pup Approved "Rice Krispies" Treats

Soooo this week I posted a Tik Tok making whole food dog friendly Rice Krispies treats without detailing the recipe but since it was such a fun experiment and Opie loved each bite so much it would only be fair to share so you can make it for your pooch...

Myth Busting Garlic Toxicity in Dogs

After I wrote the blog a few weeks ago debunking the avocado toxicity myth, I knew garlic was next. Similarly garlic has been demonized for years with everyone from vets to sales associates at our local pet shops BEGGING us not to feed our dogs garlic for fear of them...

Heart Healthy Hounds

Ah, I love me some alliteration, don’t you? So, for most of us, we spend a lot of time focusing on our dogs gut health, mobility and overall immunity- which is fabulous and everything is interconnected- but as our dogs age, we tend to not necessarily think about the HEART....

Myth Busting Avocado Toxicity in Dogs

So, recently, I made a TikTok of a breakfast meal I often eat and share with Opie. This included pastured eggs, pastured bacon, sauerkraut and avocado. And let me tell you, Tik Tok was pissed. I’d forgotten that a lot of people in the US and Canada still hold true...

Sim-Sim Simmer Pots

I don’t know about you, but I am a smell person. I LOVE when shit smells good and I can detect an off-putting smell in another country, OK? That’s how keen this nose is. So, when I realized I had to cut out all synthetic fragrances in my life, I...

Kennel Cough Myths Debunked

It's pre-holiday season which, in the dog world, means it's KENNEL COUGH SEASON! I can't tell you how many clients and followers I have that have asked about kennel cough, in the last two weeks, or are currently freaking out because their dog sounds like a 75 year old smoker from...

End of Summer Avocado Gazpacho

So, the other day I cockily announced that it was soup season. Turns out- not so much *crowds around air conditioner and thanks the heavens for this wonderful synthetic gift that makes us mildly ill but also able to continue on with our days without throwing up as the temperature...

Shareable Mutt Mocktails

I don't know about you but I've come to the point in my life where cocktails just don't serve me (even when they're being served to me). And although I sometimes crave that lively buzz, the truth is that syrups, sugary-alcohol and sunshine are a lethal combination. If you haven't...

Shower Filters Are a Thing

Well, you heard it here first folks (assuming you did hear it here first), shower filters are a thing.  Earlier this week I posted about our shower filter arriving (as I welcomed it into my home as if it were a child the stork left on my porch) and the response...

Minty Green Tea Summertime Smoothies

It's been a while but we're back and cranking out the recipes! Summer time is my favourite season for creating new dishes because seasonal produce is at its best! Vibrant greens, earthy herbs, juicy berries and stone fruits all line the market stalls, practically begging to be tossed into parfaits,...

Passover Carob Dipped Mutt-zah!

Growing up we celebrated Passover in my house and I'd be lying if I said my favourite part about the holiday wasn't getting to eat chocolate covered matzah (because it was). For anyone who doesn't know, matzah is an unleavened flatbread eaten during Passover as wheat-based products made with yeast...

Healthy Bedding- Say What Now?

I debated writing a post about healthy bedding for a while. Because I get it, you know? You clean up your dog’s food and water game, maybe you even clean up their toys (see ya cheap plastic!) and grooming products (so long fragrance!) And then you see THIS- healthy bedding....
