Gemma Sheehy

If there's one thing Gemma's passionate about in life, it's dogs. When she's not writing about them she's living, breathing, walking and snuggling with her own. Besides dog shows and sporting events on the weekends, Gemma is partial to cooking (sometimes) healthy meals, watching horror movies and making records for time spent in pyjamas.
Cucumber

Can dogs eat cucumber?

Cucumbers are a controversial fruit (yes, you heard us – fruit). Their deliciousness is the source of heated debate: crunchy bursts of hydration or the watery grave of snacks? We’ll let your dog decide on that.  The short answer: Yes! Cucumbers are as dog-safe as it comes. From seed to peel they’re non-toxic, nutritious, and […]

Can dogs eat mango?

Mango is the cardinal fruit of summer. It tastes like pure, melty goodness. You’re guaranteed to completely soak the top half of your outfit in mango juice, but somehow don’t mind it. Mango is that good.  We love mango: in our smoothies, our desserts and our face masks. Naturally, we want to know if our […]

Can dogs eat bread?

Who doesn’t like to tuck into a good sandwich? Well – except celiacs.  Delicious, fluffy, doughy or dense, bread is a staple of the human diet in all its glorious forms.  From a herby Italian focaccia to the quintessential ham and cheese sanga, it’s rare to find a pantry without at least a loaf of […]

Apple

Can dogs eat apples?

It’s common knowledge that apples have doctor-deterring powers, like the way onions do to vampires. It figures that must extend to the veterinarian variety of healthcare providers, too.  We’re kidding, of course: never substitute medical treatment for a bite of Red Delicious. But that doesn’t mean your dog can’t indulge for distinctly non-medicinal reasons.  From […]

dog with banana

Can dogs eat bananas?

You might just be curious – or your dog might have just executed an exquisite open-mouthed dive towards that banana you dropped.  Dogs are brilliant kitchen assistants, licking clean every food-shaped spot without  complaint. While this is usually to our (and their) benefit, dogs aren’t quite as discerning between something delicious and something indigestible.  If […]

Mushrooms

Can dogs eat mushrooms?

Let’s preface this all by saying: if you’re here because your dog has made a quick meal of an indeterminate species of wild mushroom, call the Australian Animal Poisons Centre on 1300 869 738 or head to a vet stat.  You’ve probably heard the mixed reputation mushrooms have (and if you haven’t, we’d really encourage […]

Is your dog a bully? A guide to canine play styles

If you’ve ever stepped foot in a dog park, it’s likely you know the type.  There always seems to be that dog. You know the one: crash-banging from one dog to the other, the force of a rugby player and the grace of a toddler in canine form. While some dogs blend seamlessly into the […]

Welcome to the future: The dog-friendly office

If you or your employees have ever frothed over the possibility of bringing dogs to the workplace, you’re far from alone. Companies are introducing pet-friendliness to the employee packet in droves, from Amazon’s ‘Woof Pack’ to the #dogsofcottonon.  While we don’t need to get mathematical about why dogs rock to have around, science has spoken […]
