A couple have shared the incredible menu they create for their dogs, with ingredients costing them over £60 a month – but the extravagant meals have angered people online.
Daniel and Courtney have over 20 years of experience in cooking, dog training and pet grooming.
They have previously hit the headlines for revealing the almost absurd level of detail they go to when feeding their canine companions – including Australian Kelpie Joey, aged 11, and seven-year-old Border Collie Caelan.

The latest addition to the menu? Kangaroo hearts, marinated octopus and fresh strawberries.
A video of the gourmet dish, which looks like a strange spin on a poke bowl, was shared earlier this month and has nearly 50,000 likes so far.
Many viewers were shocked by what’s included in the meal.
“All that effort and money for a dog that looks no different than a dog eating dog food,” said one person.
“Seriously, who can afford these s**t for dog?,” added someone else.

Isaac added: “You shouldn’t feed this to your dogs.”
“I just don’t understand how anyone could afford to feed their dog like this!” said Vincent.
But dog chef Daniel, who consider the dogs his family, takes the negative comments on the chin.

“The meals we prepare are takes on meals we would both love to eat but in a dog-friendly twist,” Daniel, from Australia, told What’s The Jam.
“While providing as much nutritional value to them through fresh ingredients as possible.
“It roughly costs $4 (£2) a day $120 (£62) a month.
“While this isn’t always the case, on special occasions they enjoyed a meal that came in to a total of over $150 AUD (£78) including wagyu, caviar and lobster!
“High-quality ingredients are generally packed with more nutritional value, produced with more care and less chemicals and aren’t highly processed!”
The couple share the dogs’ meals and dinner routines on Instagram (@chefsanddogs ).
One of their recent videos has over 270,000 likes and over 3.4m views.
While some users have been left frustrated by the amount of money spend on the pooches, others are mesmerised by the Michelin-style meals.
“Is it bad that my mouth is watering?” asked Gab.
Another user added: “Wait, why does that actually look kinda good.”
“What bro gonna add next? A fermented spider eye?” joked someone else.
“Dog eatin’ better than me fr,” said Ashe.
Kayden added: “My dog sent me this…”
Daniel and Courtney admit they don’t cook for their pets every day.
Sometimes, a pre-made dish will have to do.
They added: We’ve been able to connect with over 2.6 million pet owners on TikTok wanting to improve their pets health through fresh food.
“[On] days we don’t feel like cooking we go for a pre-made options”
