Hello,
I’m Jen
Welcome to BorkBites! I’m just a Canadian dog parent on a mission to explore all things dog food (and, let’s be honest, all things dogs). I won’t tell you what to feed your pup, but I’ll definitely call out what you shouldn’t.
This blog is based on my own experiences, here to help fellow pup parents make better food choices. From kibble to treats, I’ll share honest reviews and tips to keep your dog’s meals as healthy and tasty as possible.
Disclaimer: I’m not a vet or pet nutritionist—just a dog parent doing the research. Always consult a professional for your pup’s specific dietary needs!
