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! …

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 …

For the dog, who likes nothing better than giving their owner the run around take a look at our product picks especially for the sporty pup.

It’s official – dogs are taking over the high street! John Lewis, one of the nation’s best-loved department stores, has launched its very own pet department to gift your furry family members.

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

Ahoy there maties! Today Basil and I are over on Pets Pyjamas sharing our summer picks alongside other dog-owning bloggers. Our selection has a nautical theme giving a nod to Basil Barkarama's 'holiday' home, which we’ll be heading to later this week. Pop over to PetsPyjamas.com for the full feature.

Ka-Pow! The pop art movement is having a huge influence on fashion this year, and it would seem the world of dog too. Take a look at our top of the pup picks of products for both you and the dog.

We’ve found ourselves a new obsession; JoJo & Jax purveyor of luxury silk leads. Fusing together plush silk and rich leather, these made-in-Britain dog accessories definitely have the stand out factor for hounds that like their leads to be luxurious and with bags of style.
