With the blossoms starting to open and the sun’s cheeky appearance, Basil and I are having lots of happy feels, and as spotted in Grazia a few issues back, the Dopamine trend is totally capturing our vibe. Should you be scratching your head over WTF dopamine means, the urban dictionary defines it as 'the kick ass chemical in your brain that makes you feel and do happy things’. So get down with the dopamine trend with our favourite hound and human buys.
I appreciate the irony of this post’s title. Camo is all about mixing in with your surroundings to go unnoticed but trust me, pop your pup in Lead The Walk x Fetch & Follow and they’ll stand out in style. Basil discovered this first hand whilst walking through East London one winter’s afternoon. I lost count of the admiring glances, approving nods and ‘how cool does that dog look’ comments he attracted in his camouflage kit. He had some extra strut in his stride that day thanks to his Growlees collar charm, emblazoned with his personal anthem ‘I DON'T WALK I VOGUE’.
Out with the old, in with the new I say. For our breed of must-have doggy buys and must-do’s, check out what's on our January radar.
After a Christmas of binging on the Sons of Anarchy on Netflix, kicking off 2017 with this post feels right. We say shove a paw up to clean living, best behaviour and New Year Resolutions that you know and we know you’re gonna break - be more bad ass mother pupper!
I have cats, two of them, although on account of their extreme shy-ness they are seldom seen let alone stars of any of my pet photo-shoots. But between the BF and I, and their grandparents, they get gifts too so here are just a few things Santa Paws can feel free drop off this Christmas for their pussycat pleasure!
When a recent tally of your dog's wardrobe reveals that he has four designer dog sweaters (three cashmere, one merino), three dog coats, one pet snood, one bathrobe, seven bandanas, one rucksack harness and no less than nine collar and lead sets… AND you haven't even totted up the content of the toy box, it's fair to say Basil doesn't want for much. However, when faced with such a challenge at gifting season, I say go less essential more luxury, less doggy business more fun. So to that end, I share this year’s wish list for the dog, who has (nearly) everything.
I’ve previously voiced my preference of doggy bandanas over bow ties (refresh in our ‘style guide to doggy neckwear’ post), mainly because the latter tend to get lost on Basil’s pumped up chest. And with all those AW16 trends to nail, and the call to embrace the impending festive season, the doggy bandana is the style hero to see your pup through such occasions.
Basil turned four in September, so when I was asked if I’d like to review the luxury lodgings at dog-friendly 9 Hertford Street in London, I thought 'what better way to spoil his Lordship'.
