I’ve been dying to tell you about Poppy & Rufus ever since I met the brand's founders Sue and Louise at last year’s Discover Dogs but I’ve had to sit tight until such time that their beautifully British dog products were available for your to paw over online. Poppyandrufus.co.uk is now open for business and I strongly recommend you pay them a visit.

While Basil’s not really one for costumes, we’re not letting that dampen our freaky fun so today we bring you our most excellent find, Free People’s Sugar Skull Dog Pillow. Inspired by the most popular symbol of Day of the Dead, Sugar Skull sweets, this canvas dog bed is our kind of Halloween treat …

Hands up those dog owners who allow their dog on or should we say in their bed? Guilty as charged! When B-Boy is treated to this privilege (occasional might we add), he bypasses the pillow and dives straight under the covers, wiggling his way down to the warmest spot he can find.

So if like us, your dog likes nothing better than snuggling under blankets or the duvet, we think we’ve possibly found the cosiest dog dog bed ever in the Charley Chau Snuggle Beds …
