It’s a Dog’s Life

Clare Balding celebrates dogs and the difference that having a canine companion can make to your life.

Today she shares canine cookery tips with Hairy Biker Chef, Si King: Artie’s chicken and rice surprise and birthday cakes for Boxers. Jessica Holm gives advice on mental and physical exercise to help improve your dogs’ behaviour. And Kate Chacksfield shares the tragic story of her beloved Vizla Ruby, who died after being poisoned by a ‘harmless’ sugar substitute; just one of many substances found in the home which are innocuous to humans but are poisonous to our pets. Experts at Crufts give advice on what to look out for in your home to keep your dog safe.
