About US

The can dogs eat? team was founded on the very concept of the question. How many times in our lives had we heard that question? From friends, from fellow pet owners, from kids it compelled us to create a resource where you could go to find tons of information on the topic, without the noise of other topics clouding your focus.

History

The concept for CanDogsEat came from multiple conversations with Clover and Tom’s children. “Mom, can dogs eat carrots?”, “Dad, can dogs eat bananas?”. We found ourselves constantly looking online to research these questions and realized there is not one true source for this information, rather it is split between dog food manufactures, pet sites, and kennel clubs and dog owner groups. When COVID took hold in 2020, Clover and Tom found themselves with a lot more time at home, and started conceptualizing the site as a resource for Dog lovers. Our goal is to be the de facto source for all things around CanDogsEat. We are confident you will find our research informative and helpful. Of course, you should always speak to your veterinarian when it comes to diet changes in your dog’s diet.
