A mum makes her dog "extravagant" raw meals every day which look like they've been made in a Michelin Star restaurant – including caviar, moose and salmon.

Shannon Arney, 32, feeds her dog Echo, a Smithfield border collie cross, an entirely raw diet to make sure she has the "best nutrition".

The mum-of-three researched what she should feed Echo and now dishes her up meals that look like they could be from a fine dining restaurant.

Echo eats a lot of waste meat - non-human grade produce - including wallaby, beef and mutton, and fish such as salmon and tripe.

Shannon presents the protein with leftover vegetables and said Echo is "fussy" and doesn’t like it when the food is all mixed together.

The "spoilt" pup’s food cost just £26 - £41 a month – despite the "extravagant" meals, she said.

Shannon, a stay-at-home mum, from Tasmania, Australia, said: "When I bought her home it didn’t make sense that a dog should eat dry food all the time."

"I wanted to make sure she had the best nutrition I could provide.

"I started with pre-made raw meals and then I learned more about it and then started making the meals myself.

"I find plating the food enjoyable.

"I get told they look like Michelin star meals."

Shannon sticks to the biologically appropriate raw food (BARF) guidelines and feeds Echo 50 to 60 per cent muscle meat, 10 to 15 per cent bone, 15 to 20 per cent plant matter and five per cent liver.

She buys from a pet butcher who sells non-human grade meat which is often a bio-product of human consumption.

Shannon said: "Echo has wallaby because they are a pest here.

"She has beef, mutton, chicken and venison.

"I have even been able to source possum meat."

The pooch has one big dinner a day and often has a bone to chew on in the morning for breakfast.

She said: "I often keep the plant matter from our leftovers.

"So she’ll have the vegetables from our stir fry for example.

"She’s fussy. She won’t eat it if mixed together."

Shannon said Echo’s favourite foods are fish, mutton and berries – and she’s even tried caviar and loved it.

She said: "She loves fish. Salmon and tripe she loves."

"Some times she gets a fine dining treat like sardine moose, turmeric late and she has had caviar."

"My middle child wanted to try it and didn’t like so we didn’t want it to go to waste and gave it to Echo."

Shannon said Echo is a big part of their family and her children – five, eight and 10 – love her.

She said: "She’s very spoilt and very loved."

"She a big foodie."

She said she is "lucky" to be able to get hold of the raw meat in her area at a cheap price but hopes to encourage other dog and cat owners to look into a raw diet for their pet."

Shannon has seen the benefits of the diet on Echo.

She said: "Her coat is incredibly soft and shiny."

"Her teeth are immaculate pearly whites."

"I hope people can add a bit of freshness."

Meats - Salmon tail, venison organ mix, water buffalo, rabbit leg
Other ingredients: Possum, egg, enoki, radish, spinach, dragon fruit, blueberries, courgette, garlic, alfalfa, mint and parsley, heartsease flowers
