The best things come in small packages and case in point when Basil and I received a surprise gift on Saturday morning from new online pet boutique Pup Tart.

Sweet, not only by name, Pup Tart’s standout factor is the special touches they add to your shopping experience to give you and your pup that warm, fuzzy feeling. As I unwrapped our gift (see with Basil on my lap), I couldn’t help but smile at the cute stickers across the packaging, bearing happy messages such as ‘Your dog’s dreams just came true!’ and ‘Yeay’. There’s even a postcard of their in-house pup Indy (above) - a Norfolk Terrier/bit of a surprise cross! …

With the emphasis on treat not trick, we’re getting ourselves in the mood for Howlerween with some bright, patterned bones, to be enjoyed by both you and your four-legged friend …

It’s almost time to write to Father Christmas, and if you’re a dog who likes their style luxe, loud and fabulous, you simply MUST put the exciting, new WOOF! range from CLEO B and Beauchamp’s of London at the top of your wish list …

Thanks to The Barkitect for throwing this little treat our way – we just had to share! A walking homage to our Boston Terrier Basil and a throwback to our childhood when quilted jumpers were all the rage; we want and need this dog print bomber jacket in our life.

Jo Chambers, the clever and creative gal behind Studio Legohead, has got some serious skills. She draws, paints, illustrates, embroiders, makes brooches and even designs quirky trophies. We’re most interested in her love of dogs, and how well she captures their personalities in her beautiful custom pet portraits.

In our latest Breed Focus, we put a pup that packs a punch, the Jack Russell Terrier, in the spotlight. 

The sun may be cracking the flags outside but a true fashionista is always looking forward, which is why this month we’re looking ahead to Autumn and coveting this wool/cashmere mix, dog graphic sweater by Burberry Brit. 

We’ve been fans of kitsch homeware store Fishs Eddy since we lived in NYC way back when so when we heard the news that we could get our paws on their designs at London department store Liberty tails were-a-wagging. We’ve since discovered that dogs have made it into Fishs Eddy’s range of edgy and playful range of kitchenalia.
