See, I interpret section b) to mean that whilst assistance animals by law are permitted in any food business, they are only allowed access to standard customer areas ie. Jane Smith can't take her guide dog in to the kitchen. I wouldn't consider it to have any bearing whatsoever on other non-assistance animals. Point a) rules that live animals can't enter food handling areas but no mention of general premises. If there is a ban it must stem from other regulations, be they state gov or council....my money is on particular councils.

Thanks for the tips She's a farm pup (ACD) not from a traditional breeder scenario - mother was killed and owner seriously injured in a car accident and noone could care for the pups so they were adopted out. We kept her on the owner's food initially but she had poorly formed stools and some vomiting so (on vets advice) we made a clean switch to the RC sensitive for a few days then transitioned to just dry. I will grab some chicken necks tomorrow, see how she does with one. Vet looked at me like I'd sprouted an extra head when I asked if there were any bones or other food suitable for her size/age. I was starting to think I'd just imagined puppies eating other foods!

Hello! I have a new pup, 6 weeks. She was a bit unwell at first so vet put her on Royal Canin sensitivity but she has picked up now and has moved on to Eagle Pack Holistic dry (vet preference was Science Diet puppy). We were planning on feeding her raw long-term and asked the vet what sort of foods we could start supplementing her dry with - and were a bit surprised to have her recommend we not use raw food, just dry...and no bones of any sort until ~5 months. I'm no puppy expert - is this normal advice? Surely she could benefit from some other foods in her diet...any advice would be very much appreciated
