Rosie Floyd is a Senior Home & Pets Product Writer for Take a Break Pets. She has grown up always having at least one pooch as part of the family and has experience in owning a variety of breeds, including Labradors, Cockapoos and Yorkshire Terriers, which is why she specialises in all things dogs in her role.
Rosie has been with Bauer Media since 2022 and has contributed to a number of titles, including Yours, Modern Gardens, A Modern Kitchen and Mother & Baby. Having known from an early age that she wanted to be a writer, Rosie went on to study Journalism & Media at Coventry University where she achieved a BA with honours in 2015. Her career highlights before joining Bauer include writing content around must-visit holiday destinations and luxury hotels for UK tour operator, Thomas Cook, and a role that was all about creating content around outdoor living for a family-run garden buildings manufacturer.
As a self-confessed ‘crazy dog lady’, you’ll usually find Rosie cuddled up to one of her three dogs: Gina, Barney and Bella. All three of her pups, and her doggy nephew Teddie, are more than happy to get involved with product testing where they can, especially when treats and toys are involved! Over the years, Rosie has raised and trained many puppies all the way through adulthood and into their senior years. She's used many types of food, toys and other pet care essentials to suit the needs of her hounds over the years so she knows what makes a good pet product.
It's not just her own dogs that Rosie is obsessed with, she jumps at the chance to spend time with as many fluffs as possible. She was recently offered the opportunity to spend the day shadowing pet experts and spending time with rescue dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals at Woodgreen Pets Charity, which she couldn't say yes to fast enough! If you happen to mention you've got a pet to Rosie, it won't be long until she's asked you a million questions about them, including what type of food you feed them, what toys they love to play with, and most importantly, when can she meet them.
When she’s not got a dog on her lap or tapping away at her laptop, Rosie is watching the Mamma Mia films on repeat, singing along to 90s and 00s pop, or endlessly scrolling Instagram and TikTok for cute and funny dog videos and memes. She really can’t get enough of dogs!

Rosie’s top buying tips for readers are:
• “You can get some great multi-buy discounts on pet food so you can stock up by buying in bulk. Just make sure you’ve got room to store it correctly so it stays as fresh as can be.”
• “If you’re familiar with making a last-minute dash to the shops to make sure your furry friend has some food in, I’d recommend signing up to subscribe and save services that many retailers offer. That way, you’ll always have a delivery of your pet’s favourite food straight to your door, exactly when you need it. Plus, you can usually bag a discount against the RRP by signing up for regular deliveries with a cat or dog food subscription.”
