The ‘Gavin & Stacey’ actress – who is expecting her fourth child with husband James Thornton – loves her pooches Lola and Bess but admitted her hectic schedule means she hasn’t been able to spend as much time training them as she’d like, especially because she couldn’t resist teaching them “cute stuff” at the expense of practical household commands.

She said: “I’m definitely more relaxed about training when it comes to my two dogs – so have mastered the cute stuff like giving kisses at the expense of some the more basic household commands!

“But my busy family life and being mum (to the kids and the dogs!) means I find it challenging to dedicate time for training – or researching the right treats to reward them with.

“ACANA’s new High-Protein Dog Treats have been a real helping hand now that we’re trying to get back to basic house rules. Not only do the dogs love them, but because they’re packed with protein from fresh meat sources, I can treat them guilt-free!”

The 44-year-old actress is unlikely to have a lot of free time in the near future as she’s due to give birth around Christmas time and recently joked adding to her brood again means she and her spouse can kiss goodbye to retirement.

She quipped: "I'm still in shock I think! Number four, I mean, well - I said to my husband we're not going to have any retirement, it's sort of going to be children to death.”

New ACANA Crunchy Treats are available in 100g bags and come in four flavours: Chicken Liver, Beef Liver, Pork Liver and Turkey Liver
