Amazing Insta-Dog sensation @TunaMeltsMyHeart has been shimmying his cute strawberry blonde butt around the UK on tour for his book Tuna Melts My Heart The Underdog with the Underbite. Luckily, his kind dog mum carved out some time in their jam-packed schedule to talk to Barkarama.
Basil and I caught up with the pair last week at dog-friendly Megan’s – a café, grill and bar on the King’s Road in Fulham…
I’m a sucker for packaging. Basil is a sucker for tasty treats. Ticking both our boxes and spiking a canine trend are dog treats in a tin. I’m pro tin-packaged treats, as not only do they keep Basil’s edible source of happiness fresh, they also ensure that my handbag or coat remain a crumb-free zone. Give them a whirl and you’ll soon discover that they’re great for grabbing your dog’s attention too. A quick rattle of a treat-filled tin and Basil comes running or stands to attention.
Here’s three treats in a tin to try but if you know of any others fill us in @Barkarama or comment at the end of this post. Most of all - enjoy!
We’re forsaking a Valentine’s gift guide this year, as there’s already a cute one from yours truly, over on the animal pages of Townandcountry.co.uk, although for a last minute addition head to The Artisan Pet Deli for tasty heart-shaped treats galore.
This post is all about pet art, which is probably one of the most heartfelt gifts you could get a dog lover. While art is very much in the eye of the beholder here’s the list of who has caught ours. Some are ready-to-go of your fave breeds, whereas others are available bespoke to your actual dog. Many of the featured artists also offer greeting cards, bags, wrapping paper and more so be sure to check out their online shops.
Book your ticket, spruce up your pooch and make a Valentine's doggy date at Dogs Trust #MicroChippy – the first pup-up diner purpose built for hounds and their humans.
We've been stalling on our first post of 2016, as we wanted to kick off the year with this bobby-dazzler of a photo-shoot with pet photographer Rachel Oates, taken for the latest issue of Dog Friendly Magazine.
Our setting was Seven Dials, a truly gorgeous area tucked between Covent Garden and Soho – and one of our all time favourite shopping and hangout spots. Dog Friendly asked if we’d be kind enough to visit Bow Wow London, the award-winning dog shop to see what all the fuss was about, as well as sniffing out some of their dog-friendly neighbours.
We’ve been bursting with excitement to share this one with you and just in time for Christmas too – our little box of photo wonder from Cheerz. In case you haven't heard of Cheerz, they’re all about bringing your favourite photos to life by creating some of the prettiest, most fun photo-gifts we’ve ever seen. And you can WIN one...
In cahoots with the lovely Liz Hutchinson of East London’s Paws&Purrs, we’re rounded up 16 fun and fashionable gifts for the female pet lover. From fancy fashion, kooky accessories, pet-inspired shoppers (to beat the carrier bag charge) to homely buys for wannabee Mary Berrys, our guide will ensure that the dog lover or cat lady in your life is well cat-ered for.
We've enlisted the help of our pal Liz Hutchinson, co-founder of East London’s Paws&Purrs and pet parent to Wood Green rescue cats Indie and Fizz to bring you this kitty-cute Christmas gift guide. However, don't expect much of a reaction when you offer these marvellous gifts but know that they will be purring with delight as soon as your back is turned.
