TV vet teams up with TV chef
A panel of canine culinary experts rate the food.
TV chef James Martin has teamed up with TV vet Marc Abraham for a new series of films, in which the pair turn their hands to a little canine cordon bleu.
A series of four "K9 Cafe" films see James and Marc showcasing a range of nutritional recipes for dogs and their owners.
A panel of four-legged experts then sample each of their culinary creations.
Best practice and harmful foods are discussed during the films, giving owners a chance to learn more about pet nutrition.
Marc commented: "“It’s very important that pet owners pay attention to their dog’s health needs, particularly with regards to nutrition.
"Owners may think they’re being kind giving their dog leftovers, but this could have a detrimental impact on their pet’s health if the wrong foods are given.
"‘K9 Cafe’ provides an excellent opportunity for owners to learn about their dog’s dietary requirements to make sure their pet is happy and healthy."
K9 Cafe was launched by Direct Line Pet Insurance yesterday following a survey it conducted, which found that 68 per cent of people to take part were concerned their pets were not getting the right nutrition.
