If you’ve read any of the posts on Dog Dad, you’ll know that Mabel is a rescued Staffy cross, two and a half years old, and an absolute goofball who treats every walk like a mission and every meal like it might be her last. She came to us with a sensitive stomach, a habit of pulling like a freight train, and boundless enthusiasm for absolutely everything.
Over the past couple of years, we’ve tried a lot of products. Some have been brilliant. Some have gone straight in the bin. This page is the shortlist: the things that have survived Mabel’s particular brand of chaos and earned a permanent place in our house.
I’ll keep this page updated as things change, and I’ll always be honest if something stops working for us.
