Dog friendly Thai Cuisine If you’ve ever craved a steaming bowl of rich, flavourful beef noodles in London, you’ll know the struggle is real. There are good places here and there, but finding one that truly hits the spot — comforting broth, tender meat, and that perfect noodle texture — feels like discovering treasure. Recently, we visited a Thai restaurant in Wimbledon that just launched their Boat Noodles , and honestly, I wasn’t ready for how good it would be. Customisable Bowls: Choose Your Noodles & Toppings What I love most is how customisable everything is. You get to choose your noodles, toppings, and add-ons — almost like a premium, elevated version of traditional Hong Kong cart noodles. For my bowl, I picked thin-sliced beef and scallops . The staff torched the scallops right in front of us, giving them that lightly smoky flavour that instantly lifts the whole dish. The Broth: Rich, Deep, and Comforting The broth is where this bowl truly shines. It’s made by simmering beef bones for hours until the flavours become deep, rich, and satisfying. Every spoonful felt like proper comfort food — warm, soulful, and packed with flavour. The thin-sliced beef was perfectly tender, and the ingredients overall felt thoughtfully prepared, with nothing skimped or rushed. My Noodle Choice: Thai Thin Rice Noodles I went for the Thai thin rice noodles (my favourite!), which had the ideal chewy texture. It soaked up the broth beautifully without turning mushy — the dream combination for noodle lovers. Henry’s Bowl: The Showstopper Henry ordered the beef ribs , and let me tell you… That bowl was massive . The ribs were so tender that the meat literally fell off the bone with one gentle pull. Soft, flavourful, and perfectly cooked — it was the highlight of the whole meal. Don’t Skip the Skewers We also tried the pork and beef meatball skewers , which were juicy, savoury, and so satisfying. They can be eaten on their own or added into your noodles as toppings — either way, they’re a must-order. Thai Milk Tea to Finish To complete the meal, we ordered two Thai milk teas — one with grass jelly and one with matcha. Sweetness was just right, creamy but not heavy, and the perfect treat after such a comforting bowl. A Lovely Meal With Coco Of course, Coco joined us and was an absolute angel the whole time. She sat quietly, observed everything with her curious eyes, and melted some hearts as usual. Always a joy having her with us on our food adventures! Final Thoughts Finding a genuinely good bowl of noodles in London always makes my day, and this one definitely goes on my recommended list. From the broth to the toppings to the drinks — everything felt well-crafted with care.

Waterless Dog Grooming When Nilaqua Pets reached out for Benny to try their no water shampoo, I didn't think twice about it. The concept made me very excited - rub the liquid all over your dog like you would regular shampoo, but then instead of needing to rinse it off with water, you simply towel it off! Amazing.  It's absolutely perfect for Benny, who I literally have to trick into getting into the bath, by pretending to pick him up to show him something outside and even that isn't fool proof because if he clocks me getting towels or anything prepared, there is no chance he'll let me pick him up!! Why are they so smart!?  This shampoo smells amazing and is so easy to use. It gets rid of dirt too unlike some leave in shampoos or foam based products.  Nilaqua also have a range of cologne, household and pet care products as well as shampoo for different occasions. Their company and products are eco-friendly. They use recycled plastic for their bottles and 100% renewable energy to power manufacturing.  I highly recommend checking then out and if you do, you can use the code BENNY15 for a 15% discount.  DOG GROOMING NO RINSE SHAMPOO DOG HEALTH

Dog Friendly Chinese Restaurant in London Teo Hot Pot is a cosy, welcoming Chinese restaurant on the fabulous Store Street (off Tottenham Court Road) serving beef hot pot and Teo Chew street food. Diners choose their broth base and then a selection of beef cuts to cook in the broth. We are proud of our food because the ingredients are good, as simple as that. We locally sourced British grass-fed beef, traditional reared cattle, the best of all, we believe. Vegetables, noodles and mushrooms can also be cooked in the broth and you make your own flavourings to add at the condiment station. It can get messy so everyone is given an apron to protect their fur (and clothes). It's not simply dining but a whole experience and well worth a visit with your pooch.

24 days of amazing treats Benny has been a huge fan of Waita Pets treats for a long time now. We've been fortunate enough to have received gifted products twice and I also stocked up at DogFest. Each time he's received them  he's been over the moon.  I love the fact that they are freeze dried treats so you know they have locked in goodness. Plus, most of their treats are one source of protein or a combination of two, which is also a huge win in my book. I love giving Benny healthy options for his treats since he eats A LOT of them!!!  So, when we were very kindly gifted their Advent calendar, I don't know who was more excited, me or Benny!! I adore spoiling him and seeing him happy and he adores eating so it's safe to say we were both ecstatic!  When I say I'm impressed with this calendar, I mean I'm impressed with this calendar. There are twenty-four doors, with a special lollipop for Christmas eve. Behind each door is a sealed bag with a few of their best treats, as well as, some limited edition ones for Christmas. Treats like beef cubes, salmon cubes, egg yolk cubes - Benny is obsessed with these. Then goodies like Christmas trees and pink leaf designs especially for the holidays. It truly is amazing!  I cannot wait for him to dive in come December... though he may already have eaten a few doors!!  Order your advent calendar here

48 hours in Bath with The Four Legged Foodies For our first night, we checked into The Bird which is a wonderfully dog friendly hotel just a short stroll from the city centre. The hotel has a free car park where you will also find a dog toilet area by way of a small patch of astroturf. The Bird  is beautiful designed - although we had a slight issue with a cat taking pride of place on the wall - and has some nice touches like free soft drinks and jars of sweets to help yourself to. The rooms are up some stairs (no lift) which are quite steep but when we got there we had a cosy, clean bedroom with a wonderful view of the city. We had beds and bowls waiting for us in the room. Dogs are most welcome everywhere at The Bird including in the bar and restaurant which is in the basement. Our humans were delighted to see they had an extensive cocktail list. The humans were also delighted by the food. The menu is a sharing one, where you choose a mixture of small and large plates and sides to share. Our humans being greedy decided to try most of the items on the menu and they loved every morsel. *It is worth visiting The Bird for the restaurant alone. With full bellies, we all retired to the room where I decided to sleep on the sofa rather than my dog bed! The following morning we returned to the restaurant for breakfast where we were immediately offered our own sausage which had been pre-cooked so we didn't even have to wait for it to cool down! The humans filled up their bellies with breakfast before setting for another day exploring the city. Book your stay at The Bird Bath here. Our second night was spent at The Francis Hotel which is right in the heart of the city, on Queen Square which was a perfect place for us to use as a toilet. The hotel is large and very popular, so expect it to be busy at all times. We had a spacious room on the first floor (there is a lift). Where we had beds and bowls waiting for us and the humans had some welcome chocolates. Pooches are welcome to dine in the lounge or bar area, both of which are spacious however the tables in the lounge are low. Archie found an appropriate seat for doggie royalty. The humans enjoyed some great food for dinner and the bar also has a cocktail menu which always pleases them. Book your stay at The Francis Hotel here. Read our full guide to dog friendly Bath here.

Benny tries out these delicious fish treats for dogs. Benny has been loving Skippers fish skin twists recently. They are natural treats, mostly sourced local to where they are made, using human grade fish. They are bursting with protein and omega three oils. I love them too because they come from one source of protein with no nasties. I know what's in them and that always makes me a happy dog mum. I also love that they are a treat that takes him a little longer to eat. He wolfs down things so fast usually and then wants more!!! But one morning it took him a whole eight minutes to eat one! He's got the fish skin cubes to try next, which I know he'll love too. He gets so excited when I get the packets out of the cupboard. They have a great range of products like these which you can choose from depending on your dog's size and diet.  I'm so glad I discovered them!  Use code BENNY20 for 20% off your first order.
