    Cooked To Perfection - Wagging Rights Meals For Dogs



    The Wong Dogs was invited for their very first media event by Wagging Rights (more on that in another post) and came back with quite the haul.




    What caught our attention at first was a freezer filled with homemade meals for canines. It seems WaggingRights is huge on cooking for their canines.






    Wagging Rights meals compromise of 60% human-grade meats from a local wholesaler (75% in grain-free and raw versions) with the other 40% comprising of fresh fruit, vegetables and supplements such as calcium phosphate, vitamin D, zinc etc.



    “Feeding your dog right is the biggest positive impact you have on your dog’s life. We feel – and we know so from experience – that proper feeding practices greatly improves both life span and quality of life for dogs. What this means for the owners is healthier, happier, sturdier dogs that need fewer visits to the vet. We want to change the way you feed your dog, one meal at a time,” says Lu-Yi.

    Wagging Rights also cater to different preferences and under special request, can prep grain-free and raw versions of all their recipes.

    The Wong Dogs Review
    During the media preview last week, the people behind Wagging Rights blessed The Wong Dogs with four different flavours to savour. The first night, Cory enjoyed a heart Sunday Roast Beef set that was contained farm-raised beef with sauté broccoli, carrots, watermelon cubes and blueberries. Picky Cole (ever the epicurean) on the other hand took in the sweet-smelling Posh Pulled Pork set that came with pork medallions, sauté spinach, French beans, red peppers and apple bits. Both the boys finished everything up within five minutes tops. The boys will enjoy Chicken Terrine and Shepherd Lamb Stew next week.









    It is not easy to impress The Wong Dogs with home-cooked food for pets. But if you are truly serious in getting a balanced home-cooked diet for Fido, then The Wong Dogs can gladly say Wagging Rights should be your first stop. How could I not be when every single item on the menu has been measured to perfection?



    Through my conversation with founder Lu-Yi Ong, she was able to give me the lowdown on what the ideal meal for a dog should be. Even the nitty-gritty, and sometimes controversial details such as supplements was not spared.
    I love how the dog menu has also been meticulously styled (to charm the eyes of pet owners, I am sure). After all, don't we all feel better when food is presented in such a manner? Whether our pets realise it or not. :p






    Many a times, I have seen many would-be furkid-food chefs carrying walking around overweight canines. Mind you, these people buy their produce straight from the supermarket and rarely do these fortunate dogs eat kibble. The problem is portioning – it is either too much of something that sometimes lead to obesity or health problems in most of these furkids.



    “Through many years of dog ownership. Plus, my partners have worked with so many dogs. This experience has taught us that a well-balanced diet prevents lots of health issues in later life,” says Lu-Yi.

    Their First Media Event – Wagging Rights Launch


    The Wong Dogs went for their first media event hosted by Wagging Rights (the latest state-of-the-art daycare and grooming facility) and realised... it is very different when you attend a media event with your furkids.



    Instead of spending the entire time mingling with other guests, I spent a good portion checking on Cory and Cole in the play area. 



    Those two were not their usual selves and were constantly trying to get my attention during lunch. With these two not on their best behaviour, it was a miracle I still managed to get a few snapshots with a friend!




    Props to Wagging Rights who made such a delicious lunch (I had two portions!) for the human guests while packing home-cooked meals for our canines!


    Before I would let the pictures do the talking, here are five questions The Wong Dogs asked owner Lu-Yi Ong on her new establishment:

    1. The shop front and interior is so unique and comfortable. Much like a home-setting. Who came up with the design and what was the inspiration?
    I did! My own home is pretty modern and with Joo Chiat steeped in rich history and culture, I decided to go more eclectic and “old school”.

    1. The puppy playground is deemed the number one equipment in dog care facilities in the United States. What makes it so?
    It has the proper grip and height for off-leash play. It is also made from a single mould so pee won’t be able tp seep through.

    1. Your profession previously is a lawyer. How different or similar is running Wagging Rights? More similarities than you think! My background was in litigation and with starting up Wagging Rights, it allows me to meet a diverse range of clients who have problems that need solving. Both professions require an ability to listen, tailor a practical solution with a cool, calm head no matter the situation. 
    1. Wagging Rights has a Get Fit programme. Tell us more about this.
    It is still in the works and we have not officially launched it yet. When it is ready, it will be vet-approved. I believe in emphasising on the word, “Fit” as it is not just about losing weight.

    1. You brought in Michelle Chan of Pup Pup “N” Away to train your partners in all ways dog behaviour-related. How did you decide that she was the perfect fit?
    I have attended some of her classes and my partners have known her for years. We like the results that Positive Reward Training has and she is a great proponent of this method.












    Again, thanks Wagging Rights for the very generous invite and goodie bag at the end. 



    Currently, there is a promotion happening where there is a FREE Doggy Daycare Trial. Cory and Cole might be taking it up soon so watch this space for updates!

    Also, watch out for my post on Wagging Rights dog menu that has got The Wong Dogs quite impressed!
