A few weeks ago I shared a post entitled ‘how to get the best swag for less’. Based on the Instagram feedback, it seemed to strike a chord with you style-savvy, fancy product loving pack.

While more expensive, quality petwear and accessories are generally designed to stand the test of time, to get the best return on your investment you have to give your items some TLC to ensure they look tip top in the park and beyond. And even though some of your dog’s petwear might be getting put away for summer, ensure that they are clean before storing because moths are attracted to dirt and stains – and a hole-ridden doggy knit isn't going to win your pooch best in show!

To help you become a domestic dog-ess, I’ve enlisted the help of some of our favourite premium pet brands to bring you tips on how to keep your fancy pet swag looking its best.

In honour of Thirsty Thursday, this post shares our second dog-friendly Shoreditch pit-stop – The Owl & The Pussycat on Redchurch Street, a winning spot to top up your fluids.

Shoreditch and Hoxton were the original Fri-Sun party spots of my twenties, and even though the area has changed significantly sprawling London’s own Silicon Valley and chains a-plenty, I still have a lot of love for this area. When it comes to drinks, eats, shopping and fun the area still retains its appeal with loads of great spots to offer, and with its relaxed vibe it's a pretty good place to hangout with your hound too. 

It's been a while since I’ve chatted cat but there’s been a flurry of products and cat lady events that have caught my eye so I’ve got a right puss-on. Here's why…

I won't lie; through our time blogging on Barkarama, Basil has been sent an impressive selection of petwear, doggy stuff and a small mountain of treats to review and chomp his way through, as well as being on the guest lists for some Very Important Pet events.

The above said I’m far from shy about putting my hand in my pocket when it comes to spoiling him or dealing with his everyday doggy needs. But in the same way I shop for myself, I prioritise going for the best I can afford but if there’s a way to save without compromising on quality or style I’m all over it. In this post, I share eight tips on how to get the best pet swag and tuck for less.

Dogs before dudes, must love dogs, the best therapist has fur and four legs and dogs are a girl’s best friend are all mantras that any self-respecting crazy dog lady lives by. So if you and your furry bestie are hot-footing around London town this weekend, swing on by Gallery Different in London’s Fitzrovia to check out “Canines & Companions – Women and their Dogs” exhibition, which explores the special relationship between women and their dogs. 

Anyone who knows me can vouch for that fact that I talk ten to the dozen so emojis are definitely my kind of chat… and thanks to fashionable pet fun house FuzzYard, dogs are barking for emojis too. 

Along with the Love Eyes, Eek, Tongue Out and Bahaha faces – the messy matter of poop has been given a smiley makeover too thanks to Harperandhugo.com, as shown above.
