Dog is barking mad over vet's ban on curry

A curry-mad canine has been banned from the hot stuff after wolfing down too much of his favourite food.

Chorlton mongrel Dante has such a taste for tandoori that he refuses to eat normal dog food and regularly turns up outside his local take aways and restaurants begging for curry.

Now vets have told his owner Pauline Rawsterne to put him on a strict no-curry diet because it has given him a bowel disorder.



Thankfully for 11-year-old Dante, he has been saved from pet purgatory after a local takeaway stepped in and offered to create a healthy version of his favourite dish that suits his new diet.

Pauline said: “I’ve started giving him different dog food that’s a bit tastier but nothing can compare with curries as far as Dante’s concerned. He gets quite annoyed and starts to sulk if I give him normal dog food.”

Luckily for Dante, Mohammed Asdar Ali, who owns the Village Tandoori on Beech Road, Chorlton, took pity on him and created a healthy dog-friendly chicken balti dish which will not inflame Dante’s bowel problems. Ali said: “No curry-lover should be deprived of their favourite food so we came up with something that Dante can enjoy without giving himself any more health problems.”
