About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Bite!
I am so excited to finally meet you, I cannot stop my bushy tail from wagging. My name is Simon, the Wonder Dog, although I also answer to a number of nicknames my Dog-Ma bestows on me from time to time, like “The Bobo”, “Bobeee” (3 eee’s), “The Dude”, and “Mr. Kimber” (which rhymes with cucumber, which I woof very much).
Our Story
I spent 3 years growing up in a no-kill shelter and the Dog-Ma rescued me (although she claims that I also rescued her), not only that day, but every day since and at Dining with the Dog-ma, we are passionate about our furry friends and their pet parents
and cooking delicious meals we can both eat.
Our mission is to help folks just like you, make healthy and flavorful meals for your pets and yourselves
with our canine-friendly spices and herbs.
We also help save shelter dogs and make public appearances to spread awareness
about our cause. Our cookbook, Dining With the Dog-Ma, is the perfect guide for
those wanting to cook delicious meals for both themselves and their pets.
We woof every meal and we think you will too!

Our Mission &
who we serve
Currently our goal is to raise enough funds to help the No-Kill shelter where Simon grew up to obtain a new(er) transport vehicle for the dogs and puppies they serve. Simon grew up at the Against All Odds Animal ResQ in Hamilton Missouri. It is a 501C3 nonprofit organization and has been rescuing animals for over 30 years. A portion of the proceeds from every sale go to this great rescue shelter!
Once this goal has been accomplished, we will
assist more No-Kill shelters and are accepting suggestions and applications for great
No-Kill shelters who are in need.
Please email us to inquire about this process.
