Avi Nagel

Dog lover and Entrepreneur, Avi Nagel, joins us to chat about a new enrichment brand called Dog And Bond. Drawing on his fond childhood experiences growing up sharing a home with German Shepherds, Avi succeeds in recreating the shared experience of baking healthy snacks for your dog that you can eat too!  Dog and Bond ensuresthat the ingredients are species appropriate so there’s no sugar or grains.  Apart from thinking about ingredients and an awareness of whole foods, it's about training and enrichment at a sensory level. Dogs love to be involved with clear boundaries, and  being encouraged to explore their olfaction as baking aromas waft around. It's also about making an appointment to spend time interacting with your dog. It's a way of reducing stress in an age where science concurs that stress is transferable from humans to their dogs. The silicone baking moulds are all 100% BPA free and re-usable, and the packaging is uber sustainable and thoughtfully designed.
