Chocolate Patrol

To celebrate the pup’s (I think I’ll call them that when they’re old & grey) birthday on Sunday we took a few of them out for a walk together.

It was so great to see them run around and play together. They get on really well. It truly was the best fun we’ve had in ages.

We went to Grange Park Country Park in Northampton, and I really recommend it for dog walking. It has a bit of everything, and ours felt perfectly safe off lead. With plentiful free parking, it was an ideal place for us to meet.

The ‘parents’ have created a group on Facebook to keep-in-touch and arrange meet-ups like this. It works so well.

I made some birthday pupcakes using the Oggi’s Oven Dog cake baking mix, Ardennes pate and Lily’s Kitchen Rise & Shine treats! Buy the cake mix & Lily's Kitchen here

Thanks to all of the other parents who came along, and happy birthday once again to our chocolate drops :)

Canagan Critique

My lovely friend Kate shared this independent review on Canagan food with me. I talk all the time about the importance of feeding your dog quality food – I can immediately tell if a dog isn’t eating the right food for them. Skin complaints, bad breath, flatulence, tear staining and more. If your dog has any of these symptoms then consider changing to a higher quality, grain free food like Canagan or Lily’s Kitchen. 

Buy them from Barkitty here..  http://www.barkitty.co.uk/category_pet_food_1.shtml

You are what you eat

January 25^th 2014

Did anyone watch ‘The Truth About Your Dog’s Food’ tonight on Channel 5? It’s really worth a look if you didn’t… catch up here…

http://www.channel5.com/shows/the-truth-about-your-dogs-food/episodes/the-truth-about-your-dogs-food

We sell Lily's Kitchen and Canagan at Barkitty, both of which are grain-free and have high meat content. We feed Alfie Canagan, and he's doing so well on it. Bobby has Lily's Kitchen Small Breed, and it's the only food he'll eat (wet & dry combined). Jasmine eats Canagan dry with Lily’s Kitchen wet.

Have a look at our range of food here, which is developing all the time, and please ask for savings to be made when placing a regular order....http://www.barkitty.co.uk/category_pet_food_1.shtml

Have a look at http://www.whichdogfood.co.uk/ for an independent, informative guide to choosing dog food. Lily’s Kitchen and Canagan both rate highly on here.

As always, if you need anymore information give me a call on 01327 349328.

Canagan Update

I thought I’d give you a bit of an update on Alfie and Jasmine’s new food regime. They are both doing really well with the Canagan kibble, and we’re definitely going to stick with it.

Alfie the Chocolate Labrador is being exceptionally fussy at the moment. He is suffering with hayfever, and the heatwave of recent weeks seems to have taken his appetite for dog food (not human food I may add). So we are giving him about ¾ of the recommended amount of Canagan kibble along with a couple of big spoonfuls of Lily’s Kitchen wet food. The meat entices him to dive in quicker, and it’s a good way of hiding a Piriton tablet! His favourite combination is the Salmon kibble, and Lily’s Kitchen Fishy Fish Pie with Peas.

Jasmine the cat is now 7 and a half, and we noticed that quite often she wasn’t digesting her meat as well as usual. It often made her sick after eating it, and after discussing this with her vet we decided to remove the wet food from her diet and see if things improved. I’m pleased to say it did. She is getting all of her nutritional requirements from the kibble, and she’s gained some weight back. Her coat’s looking good (with the help of a FURminator of course), and she seems to have plenty of energy. We noticed she has been drinking much more water since we switched her to dry. She hardly used to drink from her bowl at all, but now she does. On really hot days I did sometimes add a couple of spoonfuls of Lily’s Kitchen Chicken or Fish wet food, just to make sure she was getting enough hydration.

So, I’d say it’s going really well with two very healthy happy pets under my roof!

Dog's Dinner Dressed as Lamb

I made a roast dinner for my family today – and could never leave out the furbabies! We had roast beef, and they had Sunshine Stew from my Lily’s Kitchen Cook book!

Highly recommended, bowls were cleared very quickly! The photograph doesn’t look very appealing but it was thoroughly enjoyed! I didn’t use any green beans as I forgot to buy them (bad mother), but I think that a splash of green would improve the appearance too!

I calculated that this cost me around £3.50 (I did have some of the ingredients already), and this made 4 portions – so is relatively economic for a treat!

In Lily's Kitchen

I am at home this morning (my Parents are in charge of the shop) so I have decided to make Alfie some cheesy breakfast bars from from my Lily's Kitchen cookbook (page 85)... here's the recipe if you fancy having a go yourself, they are so easy to make.

Cheesy breakfast bars were approved by all, including the kitty! Please note, I made 2.5 times the amount the recipe specifies, because I wanted extra for Bobby & Paddy (and I wanted to use my big heart shaped roaster)!
