Actions Speak Louder & Ingredients Shout

Of course, there are good and bad things about getting older (not that I would have believed that when I was young). As we age, we begin to feel the effects our lives have had on our bodies. I developed grain sensitivities, which gave me a small taste of what our first dog Sorrel must …

Why is Rawhide AWFUL!?!

I used to give our dogs rawhide regularly. It was only after starting Bounce and Bella that I began to really question pet food industry norms, what did 100% chicken really mean? What were animal derivatives? Then I discovered rawhide was not what I thought it was – not at all. What do you think …

Your Dog’s Favourite Toy Competition

**Competition Closed 19th April 2021. Congratulations to our winner Ragnar!** Hello, you lovely Pet Parent you 🙂 Today marks the start of the first weekend after lockdown.

Your Dog’s Sense of Smell

Your dog’s sense of smell is incredible, and it’s their most dominant sense. For humans, it’s sight, and for dogs it’s smell.

Sniff Walk – Sniffing & Happiness for Dogs

Have you ever given your dog a sniff walk? A sniff walk probably means all sorts of different things to different people – but for me, it means a walk for your dog with the main aim being to give them licence to go sniffing like crazy. It’s different from our usual walk. With Roscoe, …

When is 100% Chicken NOT 100% Chicken?

You may already have heard me say this, but our first dog Sorrel developed various itching and digestive issues as she got older. It was only many years later after we had started selling dog treats (and I experienced my own grain-based stomach problems), that I realised what had happened. We’d naively fed her big …

Positive Reinforcement Training

As Pet Parents, sometimes it can be easy to lose our patience while training our dogs, especially when they refuse to follow commands you know that they clearly understand. Maybe it’s the language barrier, or our dogs just deciding they’d rather not do what we’d like them to do at that moment.  Either way, sometimes …
