[title]In return for the endless love and affection they give us, we reckon pets deserve to be spoiled silly. Sadly, it's frowned upon to bring your four-legged pal along for your reservation at Melbourne's finest eateries (apparently it's a health code violation, no matter how cute they are), but two Melbourne-based start-ups have come up with a solution.
Meal kit company Atlas Weekly has teamed up with pet-health company Ilume to launch Australia's first-ever meal kit made specifically for dog owners and their beloved fur babies. Inside, you'll find all the ingredients and instructions to put together a fancy three-course meal that'll leave you both feeling spoiled.
Atlas curated the human portion, which includes a seared beef salad for the entree, chicken parmigiana for the main and a decadent chocolate dessert to finish off. Ilume took care of the puppy menu, creating dog-safe versions of Atlas's dishes: a beef jerky salad with homemade beef broth, a puppy parmigiana and a carob-based dessert.
"I treat my two Cavoodles like I would my future children," says chef and Atlas Weekly founder Charlie Carrington. "Over the past three years, I've unintentionally joined the 'over-the-top dog parent club.'"
And there's absolutely no shame in that, right? If you're keen to give your pup a seat at the table, you can nab this meal kit through the Atlas Weekly website. Prices start at $50 for one person and one dog, and $10 from every kit will be donated to the Lost Dogs Home.
