Now dog restaurants are coming!

The kitchen goes to the dogs! And not figuratively, no: there are more and more food options for dogs. “Healthy and delicious: Cooking for the dog”, “Because your dog is worth it!”, “Matthews cooks for dogs” are the names of three cookbooks published in German in recent months. Even in the homeland of high-quality cuisine, collections of recipes for weaving appear!

One of them comes from Parisian food stylist Valéry Drouet, who has already written several cookbooks. In his environment, he observed that the well-being of dogs was becoming more and more important. “In my daughter’s friend’s family, the dog eats almost as well as its owner,” Drouet tells Blick.

Arranged like in a starred restaurant

Recipes for four-legged friends aren’t just distributed in bookstores, dog food influencers also create recipes for dogs online. On channels like Raw_dogfood, pet food is served as in a Michelin kitchen: beautifully draped veal hearts, duck feet, and pig ears garnished with raw eggs. The dog bowl transforms into an Insta-Bowl.

But does it all make sense? Marika Paschoud, dog coach at Savigny VD, feeds her two dogs a mix of old dry food and canned dog food. According to the expert, if you change your food too much, it can have negative effects: “Dogs are smart: If you change their food, they expect something new and turn away from the food they eat too often.” This can lead some dogs to eat less while waiting for new recipes. “Once you find a food that dogs like and digest well, you shouldn’t change it.” This shows that canine gastronomy is more about people than dogs.

Three-course menu for 75 francs

The dog business is not just thriving in the field of nutrition: Paris has shops selling wet wipes, perfumes, organic shampoos and toothpaste sprays for dogs. The Dogue restaurant in San Francisco offers three-course meals for dogs. This dog food costs about 75 francs.

Progress seems unstoppable. From dog beer to Pumpkin Spice Latte and chain dog ice cream shops like Salty Paws, which already has 22 stores across the US, dog owners are willing to spend big. Spending on pet food has doubled since 2010, reaching $50 billion in the most recent figures. Investors are looking for other opportunities. They are like dogs: they have a good nose.
