Feeding Practice & Safety

GDV can be fatal within minutes, especially in large, deep-chested dogs. We cover the risk factors, the warning signs, and the feeding rules that lower the risk.

The bowl matters. Slow feeder for gulpers, raised bowls for large dogs (controversially), ceramic for sensitive dogs. We show which dog needs which.

Poorly stored food goes rancid, molds, and loses nutrients. We show how to store dry and wet food, how long it keeps, and how to spot spoilage.

Hiding a pill in food is the easiest method, but there are rules. We cover safe techniques, what to hide it in, and when you must NOT give it with food.

Collagen, MCT oil, green-lipped mussel, turmeric, chicken cartilage. We show which supplements have real evidence and which are just marketing.

Good nutrition doesn't have to be expensive. We show how to feed your dog well on a tighter budget without compromising their health.

Many popular house and garden plants are toxic to dogs. We cover the most common dangerous ones, the symptoms, and what to do if you suspect poisoning.
