How not to feed a dog
What we feed our four-legged friends and what it reveals about our relationship with food.
How do you feed a dog? The answer may be more fraught than you had imagined.
Should you give them 鈥榙og food鈥�? Is it a step too far to feed them at the table? And can man鈥檚 best friend thrive on a vegetarian diet?
we bring together three dog-loving experts from the UK, India and the USA to analyse what dog feeding reveals about our relationship with animals and even our own relationship with food.
Be prepared to hear some surprises, some empowering advice and maybe some uncomfortable home truths. And even if you don鈥檛 have a dog, you may get some ideas that you can apply to your own life.
