🍽️ How Often Should Your Senior Dog Eat?

Hello Reader,

Maybe your dog used to inhale their food in thirty seconds flat. Now they eat half, walk away, come back later. Or they've started asking for breakfast earlier than usual, pacing the kitchen before you've even had coffee. Something shifted, and you can't quite tell if it's a problem or just... them getting older.

Feeding schedules feel like settled science. Two meals a day, done. But it turns out the math changes as dogs age, and what worked at four might actually be working against them at ten.

We got into it. The research is more interesting than you'd expect.

📜 Diary

Yesterday afternoon, he rested his head on my foot while I was sitting at the table. He wasn’t asking for anything, just making contact. I stayed still, afraid that even the smallest movement might break the connection. His warmth seeped through my sock, grounding me. It was such a simple thing, yet it filled the room with meaning.

Survey Reveals: Your Dog's Bowl Has More Bacteria Than Your Toilet

You wash your own dishes without a second thought, but the bowl sitting on the kitchen floor often gets far less attention. It turns out the material your dog's bowl is made from plays a bigger role in bacteria buildup than most people realise. See what the research suggests you swap it for.

❤️ Why I love this recipe...

❝Rice flour does the quiet work here, giving these treats a firm, dry texture that actually holds up well for storage without any wheat or grain. Parents of dogs with grain sensitivities should double-check that their coconut oil is plain and unflavored, since some commercial versions carry additives that are better kept away from dogs. ❞
