They might have two left feet, but that doesn’t stop our dogs dancing with excitement when they see their dinner bowl is about to be filled, according to a third of pet owners. Now Strictly stars Janette Manrara and her husband Aljaz Skorjanec are calling on pet owners to film their very own Canine Pop stars as they enjoy a bit of tail-shaking or yap dancing for the chance to be included in a celebrity dance video. In fact, 61% of owners cherish mealtimes as a top activity to bond with their dog and 90% have created specific dining rituals, over half (61%) always feeding them in the same spot, while over third (34%) serve up tailored food in personalised bowls (33%) to keep their pet healthy and happy.
Of the 2,000 British dog owners polled, 88% said their pet will tell them it’s time to dish up, some (56%) stare meaningfully at them, others sit gazing at the food cupboard, 50% will start wagging their tail and 26% said their dog will start ‘talking’ to them or tapping their paw – sometimes on the food bowl. Over a third (38%) said they look forward to feeding time to seeing their pet’s happy personality shine and feel it is a great bonding moment and 33% love witnessing a doggie dance of joy when they treat them to their favourite meal and 31% adore seeing them spinning around. In celebration of the cherished bond felt at mealtime and the mealtime routines, Tails.
