Jack Russell Meg named Britain's oldest dog thanks to a diet of Peppa Pig pasta and gluten free fish fingers
Online Edition
A Jack Russell has claimed the title of Britain's oldest dog - thanks to her fussy diet of Peppa Pig pasta shapes and gluten free fish fingers, Daily Mail reported.
Meg has reached the ripe old age of 25 by shunning regular dog food in favour of human treats.
The pampered pet - who is 113 in dog years - is now believed to be the oldest pooch in the UK following the death of the previous title holder, who died in July aged 23.
Meg was rescued from a puppy farm 23 years ago by doting owner David Abrahams when she was just 18 months old.
She developed a taste for soft food, such as canned Peppa Pig pasta shapes in a tomato sauce, after her teeth began to fail. Her other human favourites include, gluten free fish fingers and roast dinners.
Mr Abrahams said: "I think she's lived so long because she's a tough little cookie and she's had the right diet and exercise."
'The fish fingers and the Peppa Pig pasta have helped her along the way."
"As she got older she got extremely fussy. She won't eat the same meal twice in a row. If you make her a roast beef dinner, the next day she won't eat it."
The pet is now 18 months older than the previous title holder of Britain's oldest living pet, a Jack Russell called Daisy which died aged 23-and-a-half in July.
Meg's diet of gluten free fish fingers and regular roast dinner has been recognised as contributing to her long life
The Jack Russell turned to Peppa Pig pasta shapes in tomato sauce after developing a taste for soft food because her teeth were failing.
Owner David Abrahams admits that Meg is spoilt, but describes her as the "greatest little dog" who is "loved by everyone"
