On pets - "It impresses me the power of companionship, the pivotal support that pets can provide in life. They share our emotional territory without judgement or blame. It is that atmosphere of acceptance - of wordless cheer- that is so deeply comforting even transforming."Pets" Barney Bardsley.
"Chew Chew, Sydney's first dog and cat restaurant, has a regularly changing menu, including beef steak and mushrooms, fish soup, chicken wings, and treats such as goat's yoghurt jelly and lamb bones...." Mosman Daily. Owners are not catered for but can BYO.
Ms Okamoto, decided to start the restaurant when expanding her Chew Chew pet food business which provided home delivery of pet food and supplements. (There is take away and home delivery for the shy or not so social animals.)
Her recipes are based on Japanese nutritional principles, focusing on balancing the meals which include carrot, pumpkin, shitake mushrooms mixed with organic meat. Ms Okamoto believes that it is a mistake some people make to give their pets just the same food as this could lead to nutrition deficiency. She also "dishes up free consultation in pet care, nutrition, behaviour and training.
Within the same article was the following:-
Big day out and a gelato treat
DOG-LOVERS can travel over the bridge on Sunday and treat their pooch to a gelato.
The Dogs Day Out, organised by Manly council, is at Clontarf Reserve from 10-30 am to 2 -30pm.
Dog owners can get a portrait of their pet, buy them a dog gelato and check out the market stalls.
There will also be demonstrations by the Manly and district kennel and dog training club and NSW police dog squad. Details - 9976 1430
Clara - I did a quick Google (Carnivore V Omnivore) but there seems to be as many differing views re diets for pets as there are for bring up babies, so I'm not going there. What I will say though, is that I think Ms Okamoto is a brave woman and I hope she is good at 'Crowd Control'. Perhaps she also needs the NSW police dog squad on call. Another thought is that it would be a lively, fun outing, perhaps ideal for 'meating up with new friends'.
