Whether it’s embroidered, stamped or printed, I’ve always been partial to a bit of personalisation on my ‘stuff’, and to this day, I still treasure my Alexandra’s Room sign from when I was a little girl.
Lately this appears to have manifested into a doggy trend so in our latest Shopping for feature, Basil and I round up our favourite personalised petwear and accessories for the style conscious modern dog, which can be yours for £50 or less …
English dog apparel and accessories brand Mutts & Hounds are at the helm of the furry fashion pack with their new Spring 2014 Pastel leather dog collar and lead collection.
Available in three colours, Heather, Sage and Grey, pop one of these dreamy, powdery collars on your pup and they’ll be sporting some of this season’s hottest palettes, as spotted on the catwalks of Burberry, Prada and Chanel …
As previously blogged our chief reviewer Basil is a huge fan of the statement dog collar so when we clapped eyes on these Dogs Department delights from The Pet Business, excitement rippled through Barkarama HQ.
For those not au fait with Dogs Department, it’s a chic, on-trend Dutch pet brand previously stocked at Harrods’ former Pet Emporium in Harrods. It’s now available exclusively in the UK at online boutique, Thepetbusiness.co.uk, which specialises in bringing overseas pet brands to UK dog owners …
Living with four males (the fiancé and three sets of paws), my home in anything but girlie. The same goes for Basil’s accessory draw, which is why I’m swooning over my latest discovery, Moshiqa, thanks to my pal over at Blanket ID Blog.
Luxury pet fashion and accessories brand Moshiqa is an explosion of all things pretty offering Haute Couture and Ready to Wear dog clothing, leather goods including harnesses, collars, leads and even pet passport covers plus cute canine bathrobes and fine doggy dinnerware …
With almost 18 months working as Chief Reviewer for Barkarama under my doggy belt, I’ve learnt a thing or two about how to create the perfect dog wardrobe. By this, I’m not talking doggy dress up – I’ll leave that to the experts such as Menswear Dog - but stylish wardrobe essentials to see the modern dog through all occasions …
My favourite dog coat of Basil’s is the one he was born with but on cold or rainy days, as it is now I wrap him up in a dog coat or jumper for added warmth and protection. His current outerwear of choice is Billy’s Wolf’s Colt Waxed Canvas Jacket from Houndworthy but I like to keep an eye out for other styles to add to his collection.
This latest Shopping For feature rounds up six different dog coats and jackets styles to suit everything from country walks, weekend jaunts around town or sporty workouts in the park …
While we wait for Basil Barkarama’s new Billy Wolf coat to arrive, the poor little might has not only had to walk around sporting a rather large, Unicorn-like bump on his head (operation-related) but – the shame of it – last year’s winter wooly, which is in desperate need of a session with the Remington Fuzz Away.
With a specific shopping brief in mind, we’ve sniffed out a well-rounded mix of winter knits to suit all manner of canine tastes and budgets ...
Cram in all the crisp, sunny dog walks you can because according to the forecasts, come next week the weather is said to be taking a turn for the worse, with temperatures plunging to freezing and even the threat of snow in some parts of the country.
While you pile on the winter woollies and stock up on stodge, save a thought for your four-legged faithful, who would also enjoy and benefit from extra comfort and care to see them through the cold days and nights. Here’s our Woof Guide to comfort and care for your dog in the winter months …
