Welcome to Slightly Chewed

At Slightly Chewed, we believe life with your dog should be as joyful, stress-free, and rewarding as possible. Our breed-specific guides mix practical advice, trusted facts, and a dash of humour to help you understand your dog, and enjoy every stage of their life.

We start with Dachshunds (because those little legs have big personalities) and French Bulldogs (small but mighty charmers), with more breeds on the way.

Each guide covers a Range of topics including:

• Health, training, diet, and breed characteristics

• Anxiety, travel tips, and breed history

• Advice for puppies, adults, and seniors

• Breed-specific issues and how to manage them

We keep things friendly, concise, and easy to use — so you can dip in for quick answers or read cover to cover. Some sections are even from the dog’s point of view, because they have opinions too!

Our Mission

To make life with your dog happier, healthier, and easier — with practical tips, trusted facts, and a dash of humour, tailored to each breed.

Our Author

Lily Kelly writes the Slightly Chewed series under a pen name, drawing on years of hands-on experience with dogs. Her guides blend practical tips, trusted facts, and a light sense of humour, making them as enjoyable as they are useful.

Each book also includes input from a professional dog groomer, adding real-world care advice to keep dogs looking and feeling their best.

While Lily is the first voice of Slightly Chewed, future editions will feature contributions from other dog lovers, trainers, and breed specialists to bring even more expertise to the series.
