Amazing news for pet owners as dogs now live two YEARS longer – here are the reasons why
DOGS live two years longer on average than they did ten years ago, data research shows. Pooches now have a life expectancy of 12-and-a-half years, compared to just over ten a decade ago. Experts say it is down to improved vet treatments and owners feeding them healthier food. Pet food firm Bella+Duke, which did the study, also said 58 per cent of owners reckon their dog is as much a part of the family as the humans in it. The study said owners are 'investing more time and money in their pets, elevating the bond to one mirroring the connection between parent and child'. The report looked at data on 580,000 pets collected by Liverpool John Moores University and dog organisations the Kennel Club and Dogs Trust B+D co-founder Tony Ottley said many dog lovers are adopting healthier diets for themselves and want the same for their pets. He said: 'Increasingly, we hear, 'If I wouldn't eat processed junk, why should my dog?'. 'Pet owners are demanding minimally processed, nutritious food.' The majority of dog owners care more about their pet's health than their own 1

Lyka Pet Food Review: My Dog's New Favourite Food
It's official, my dog Prada officially eats better than me. And when you're getting daily servings of quinoa, mushrooms and kale, I totally get why she's hooked. After all, it can't be easy for her to get the same Royal Canin kibble and wet food for every meal. I don't blame her for picking out the pumpkin and eggs, or licking doggy peanut butter off the biscuits. But for me, the worst part is seeing her skip her meals and having to dump full bowls in the bin because she refuses to eat unless it's a treat, veggies, apple or some meat. And if it's a repeat dish, forget about it. I just want her to be well fed and happy, so I've been constantly trying to mix things up with different foods. Having a meal subscription for a dog was such a strange concept to me at first, but it also makes total sense. For us humans, getting weekly deliveries of pre-made food can be a quick and fuss-free way to sort out dinner or avoid buying lunch at work so maybe it could also work with pets. I've seen Lyka * ads pop up on my social media a fair few times, so I was pretty excited to test it out. The monthly subscription service delivers fresh frozen dog food to your door, along with any extra supplements and treats, and everything is claimed to be high in protein and less processed than some products on the market. So, if you're one of the fellow pet owners who hounded me about what I thought of Lyka at the post office, make sure to check out our review below. Lyka is a brand that's pretty much on every pet owner's radar and I don't think has ever been as popular than when I walked out of the office with my starter box. Co-workers and even strangers at the train station kept stopping me to ask, 'is Lyka actually good?' Some said they were curious after getting recommended by friends but don't know if the price would be justified, while others were just fascinated by a meal delivery service for dogs. At the end of the day, we all want to give the best for our four-legged family members and make life as convenient as possible. Having dogs isn't cheap either, and Lyka's plans can rack up surprisingly quickly (especially if you have multiple puppers). For me and Prada, the meal deliveries are totally worth it. I'm relieved to see her demolish her favourite beef, chicken or lamb bowl as soon as it's served, instead of skipping meals and waiting for veggie snacks. She's also a little more energetic and playful overall, and there's no need to worry about her sitting at home hungry next to a full plate. I also like the fact the plans are flexible and can be easily delayed, as well as adjusted to include flavours she actually likes. It's a 'yes' for us. WHAT TYPE OF FOOD DOES LYKA OFFER? Lyka currently offers six types of meals and you can check out all the ingredients, benefits and detailed nutritional breakdowns (plus FAQs) on their website. They're generally suitable for all life stages, from puppy to senior. Here's what's on the menu: • Grass fed beef bowl: a mix of protein, veggies and superfoods. Some ingredients include beef mince, beef heart, purple sweet potato, broccoli, carrots, kale, sardines, beef liver, psyllium seed husk, fish oil, ginger, flaxseed oil, kelp and spirulina. • Free range chicken bowl: an ideal option that's 'gentle on tummies' and lean enough for dogs packing a little extra weight. Some ingredients include chicken breast, chicken heart, chicken liver, shiitake mushroom powder, butternut squash and basil. • Barn raised turkey bowl: contains antioxidant-rich ingredients like turmeric to help pupper's with sensitive stomaches. It also includes turkey mince, quinoa, spinach, broccoli, flaxseed oil, carrots and more. • Grass fed lamb bowl: an immunity booster and calorie dense meal for active dogs. It's made with lamb mince, lamb heart, lamb lung, lamb liver, quinoa, blueberries, coconut, beetroot powder, kelp, hemp seeds and more. • Kangaroo bowl: great for dogs that need low fat and gut-friendly meals. It includes kangaroo mince, kale, chia seeds, raspberries, mushroom, green cabbage, kelp, flaxseed oil and more. • Hypoallergenic Pro: made without common food allergens to suit those with certain sensitivities, and cooked gently to help with digestibility. Some ingredients include goat mince, goat heart, goat liver, purple sweet potato, cauliflower, carrots, coconut, hemp seeds, blueberries, Brazil nuts and beetroot powder. The variety of flavours is fantastic and I love how Prada's gotten so much more excited about meal time than ever before. I was actually surprised how there was zero hesitation when she first gave the meals a taste. The beef is her absolute favourite and a clear winner considering I've seen her lick the freshly empty bowl so aggressively that both her and the dish usually end up sliding towards the fridge or under a chair. Since packets last up to two days once opened, sometimes I have a couple of options going at the same time so she can enjoy a different plate in the evening. While there's a half bowl option to mix in with other food, I find the full bowl more verastile. If I'm adding kibble, I take a quarter of the packet and it does the job without going past the two-day period or limiting Prada to mixed meals which she'll likely get tired from. The picky princess also looks a lot more satisfied with the Lyka meals. She typically leaves her bowl untouched until 11pm, or simply licks the good stuff (e.g. egg) off the kibble before calling it a day. Now, she gobbles the raw food down immediately and makes sure there's not a single crumb left. HOW MUCH DOES LYKA COST? Lyka offers two types of subscription plans: Full bowl and half bowl. • Full bowl plan ($6.65 per day): this is designed to give your dog 100 per cent of their daily nutrients. • Half bowl plan ($4 per day): this is Lyka's affordable alternative and aims to fulfill 50 per cent of a dog's nutritional requirements. It's ideal if you tend to mix in kibble or prefer to test the waters with your fur baby's favourites. I actually ordered a starter box after Prada quickly polished off the set she got sent over for the review. Before trying the subscription service, it was honestly a bit of a stuggle to get her to eat at times and I've gotten tired of throwing out food that's been left out most of the day. If it's not treats, eggs or raw food, there's good chance the bowl will still be full in the evening. Sometimes Prada also waits until I get back home before eating, and there's no way I'm leaving meat out for more than eight hours. Now, she generally gobbles the Lyka food as soon as it comes out so there's no need to worry about her being hungry. If she decides to sleep in, I'll pop it in the fridge and put down some kibble in case she wants something while I'm out. Ordering the meal deliveries was simple. There's a super short survey at the start which asks things like your dog's weight, age, breed, level of daily physical activity and whether they have any food intolerances. The good news is that the first two orders are 30 per cent off and everything is pretty flexible. You'll start the subscription with two weeks worth of food, followed by four weeks of meal prep for future orders. Each Full bowl packet is 500g and can take a bit of space in the freezer, but you can free up some room by popping a few in the fridge so they're ready to go. If you want to delay or cancel, you can simply change this in your account. You can also select certain meals, which is great if your dog has a favourite or isn't keen on a particular dish. On the downside, the subscription can add a decent chunk to your grocery bill compared to what you get at the supermarket (especially if you have multiple dogs). I usually get the Royal Canin wet dog food pouches, which can set me back around $33 for the 12-pack. I typically mix this with either the Mini Adult Dry Dog Food or Jack Russell Adult Dry Dog Food, both of which cost between $40-$50 for the smallest bag and can last a few months instead of just four weeks. WHAT ELSE DOES LYKA OFFER? Aside from monthly deliveries of fresh dog food, Lyka also has a range of supplements and air-dried snacks. Prada's absolutely obsessed with the Beefy Bites, which are these super crunchy treats made from beef heart. (Literally, that's the only ingredient.) Similar to the meal menu, there are a variety of options tailored to suit different needs. She's also a big fan of the Parmesan Meal Topper. Other treats include: • Sarine Snaps • Mussel Munchies • Chicky Chews • Pig Twigs. There's also the Skin Supplement to fresh their skin, coat and nails, as well as a Calm Supplement, Joint Supplement and Go-To Gut Helper. IS IT WORTH SUBSCRIBING TO LYKA'S PET FOOD MEAL DELIVERIES? This is hands down (or should we say, paws down) the most convenient, fuss-free way to keep your dog well fed and happy. Food subscription services aren't cheap, whether it's for humans or pets, but Lyka lets you treat your cutest best friend with flexible plans and a variety of meals designed to give your pupper a complete and balanced diet. While I probably won't be totally dumping our regular kibble order, we're definitely converts and I'll be incorporating the Lyka subscription into my grocery list to keep Prada's belly happy without steering away from the monthly budget.

WySE Products Launches Total Pet Kitchen, The First-of-Its-Kind Multicooker for Fresh Pet Food Preparation at Home
Englewood Cliffs, NJ, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WySE Products LLC, a company committed to redefining pet nutrition, is pleased to announce the launch of Total Pet Kitchen Multicooker (TPK), the first-of-its-kind countertop appliance designed specifically for cooking and dispensing healthy food for pets using human-grade Products Total Pet Kitchen Multicooker The Total Pet Kitchen multicooker was developed over two years through collaboration with chefs, veterinarians, pet nutritionists, engineers, and pet owners. The team focused on addressing common barriers to home-prepared pet meals, including time constraints, nutritional uncertainty, and inconsistent results. The result is a patent-pending appliance designed to simplify fresh pet food preparation at home. Every component was designed with a focus on safety, efficiency, and user experience. 'Fresh food can make a difference in a pet's health, but until now, there wasn't an easy, practical way to prepare those meals at home,' said Paul McGrath, a representative for TPK. 'That's why we invested significant time in development to create a system that helps pet owners prepare meals with real, recognizable ingredients that get great results no matter what your skill level in the kitchen. Total Pet Kitchen is more than a cooker, it's a movement to bring real, whole food back into our pets' lives in a way that's practical for modern households.' Built for Pet Health and Everyday Use The TPK multicooker offers pet owners a smarter, more efficient way to prepare fresh meals without the time, mess, and guesswork of traditional home cooking. According to the company, meals made in the Total Pet Kitchen can save pet owners up to 75% in costs as compared to subscription delivery food services. This all-in-one appliance combines mixing, cooking, and extrusion into a single streamlined process to make it easier to serve nutritious pet food made from real ingredients. Key features: A 4.5-qt ceramic-coated inner pot that's BPA-, PTFE, and PFOA-free Easy-read control panel with illuminated progress indicators. Four programmable settings for beef, chicken, fish, and grain-free meals. Easily removable inner cooking components are dishwasher safe. Automatic extrusion and dispensing of cooked food mixture. Recipe support through video and written guides. The device can prepare up to a week's worth of food in a single batch, helping pet owners save time. Expert-Approved Recipes and Ongoing Support Beyond the multicooker, Total Pet Kitchen offers a growing library of expert-reviewed recipes and guides available through online videos and written resources. All content is developed and approved in collaboration with TPK's veterinary consultant team to help pet owners prepare meals that are balanced, safe, and tailored to their dog's needs, whether for a full home-cooked diet or as a healthy supplement to existing meals. Processed pet foods often contain low-quality ingredients, fillers, artificial preservatives, and additives that offer limited nutritional value. Switching to fresh, home-prepared food, even as a partial replacement, can significantly improve a pet's diet and potentially reduce long-term costs associated with poor nutrition, such as frequent vet visits and chronic health issues. To support pet owners in this transition, Total Pet Kitchen provides comprehensive educational materials, from meal planning guides to step-by-step cooking tutorials. These resources are updated regularly based on in-house testing and user feedback to ensure they remain practical, accessible, and aligned with the evolving needs of the modern pet household. Responding to Growing Demand Recent trends in pet care point to increasing awareness about the ingredients in commercial pet food. More owners are seeking alternatives that align with their own dietary values, favoring fresh, whole foods over ultra-processed options. This shift in consumer priorities has created a need for tools that support healthier feeding practices without adding complexity to daily routines. The TPK multicooker meets this demand with its combination of food-safe materials, automated cooking programs, and an easy-to-clean design, offering a practical and user-friendly option for households focused on improving pet wellness. 'Launching the Total Pet Kitchen multicooker reflects our ongoing commitment to improving how pets are fed at home,' said McGrath. 'It's a solution developed for modern pet owners who value health, safety, and simplicity, and we're excited to make it widely available.' The company notes this launch is just the beginning. Future updates will continue to expand recipe offerings, refine functionality, and add new content to support pet owners in keeping their pets healthy and thriving.
