These are the words you think of when you look at your doggo…
They’re also the words they think of when they look at you…
Remember that 🧡🐶
We make edible cards for dogs. We make them from spuds. Yes, they are a real thing! 🐶🧡

I like this wall sign I made.
I come into the Scoffice each morning & see it & it makes me smile. That is all 🤪🧡
Happy Friday eve. X
Let’s have some tasty new edible cards for September doggy celebrations 🍁 🥳 🐶
We’re still holding off on Christmas, so don’t worry. 😅
Here are a selection of some terrifically tasty cards 😋 … Not just birthdays 🚫 🎂… That you can treat your with pooch this month. 👏
Dunno about you, but I always go a bit giddy in the autumn time. 🤪🧡🤎❤️🧡🤎❤️
I thought I’d do a throwback to remind myself that we are a company run by a very small team! 👏
Say hello to the lesser seen Matthew aka my other half & Head of keeping me mentally stable. He doesn’t like having his picture taken very much, so here’s one from the time I made him pose with a lil award we won. We’d had a couple of shandy’s so he was game! 🍻
During that time known as lockdown & covid, I was sad, I felt like I’d lost my way & all I wanted to do was work for myself, yet I didn’t have the balls, funds nor confidence to take the leap. 🫣
In steps Matthew, he supports me every day & gave me the kick up the arse I needed to believe i could have my own business. 💪
He does so much behind the scenes in the business - he’s created our bespoke manufacturing Scoffice & operationally, runs the show. ⚙️
I want him to take more credit, but he just isn’t that kinda person.
It can be pretty intense at times working together, and we’re not very good at switching off from the work chat ever, but along with Maxwell & Bert, Scoff Paper is our family member & we cherish it like we do our humans and doggies. 🥰
We absolutely love working together (don’t we Matthew?!). It’s quite mad how this universe really does have a plan for us all eh. 🧡
Ok, cheese ball moment over 🧀
Could you / do you work with your partner or are we actually quite mad?! 😂
We all know dogs can read & they can definitely talk to us in their very own special way. 🧡
I always work out what accent my dogs would have if they spoke human. It makes me happy thinking about that.
Anyone else?!
Scoff Paper en français s’il vous plaît 🇫🇷 🧡
Here’s a little insight into some of the cards we work on for other countries. 🌍
This is an edible doggy birthday card for the lovely parts of the world that speak French! 👀
We’ve sold these cards not only in France but also in Canada 🇨🇦, Belgium 🇧🇪, Switzerland 🇨🇭 and Luxembourg 🇱🇺!
Aside from French, we’ve made ranges of cards in Italia 🇮🇹, Spanish 🇪🇸, German 🇩🇪 and Dutch 🇳🇱 so far and I just love that Scoff Paper cards are enjoyed by people all around the world.
It turns out we’re all a bit dog mad, no matter where we live! ✌️
Yeah… It’s August next week 🤯
All August dogs need one of these 🐶
This guy changed my life forever. 🦮
He goes by the name of LOKI & he’s now a working guide dog, but I was lucky enough to be his mummy for 12 months of his life.
Today it’s his birthday.
I share this with you because it’s a really significant day.
The first picture shows Loki surprising me at a trade show with his forever mum. It was the best surprise of my life.
But, If you take a look at the second picture, literally seconds after I took that pic, he tried to eat the paper card he’s posing with.
Thats where the idea was born for edible cards for dogs.
Quite mad to believe that a little moment of madness (or cheekiness on Loki’s part) can turn into an actual business when you have the determination to make it happen.
Love you Loki babs. Thanks for making my life great. 🦮🧡🥰
Shout out to my fellow stress heads 👋 🙋♀️
I can’t really imagine any situation where running a small business isn’t in some way mega stressful.
It’s not easy, but I guess in some weird way, that shows that it’s worth doing.
Yeah, your hardships are many, but when you do have the high points they can be extra immense because of what you’ve been through.
I think that as long as you love what you do, you can be pleased that you’re making the right choice and keep on hanging in there.
Love to other small biz owners, procrastinators, stress heads and non-sleepers out there. 🧡
The latter will probs be reading this in bed at 3am… which also happens to be when I’m writing this post 😂🥱
Always be kind to your co-workers 🤣
We’re parters in business and in life 😘
But sometimes he needs telling 😂
For some reason, he thinks it’s acceptable to film me while I’m doing really professional looking photo shoots like this one.
It’s like he thinks I’m just messing about! 😲
Like I’d do something like that 😜
Look veeeerrry closely at this card and you can see the secret message. 👀
This one is for any occasion (or even when there isn’t an occasion) and it’s the perfect doggy gift idea that suits the kind of dog that eats and eats and eats.. and then eats some more. 🤤
I’m talking about those that don’t just stick to their food, but the ones who love to chow down on socks, slippers, non-edible chew toys, bits of old wood... the lot. 🍖👞🧦🪵
Celebrate the chomper that can’t be conquered with this tasty card. 🧡
Happy Birthday Chew Ya 🎵

Happy Biiirrrthdayy 🎉
Happy Birthday Chew Ya! 🦴
If you don’t sing this to your dog when you give them this card – you need to take a serious look at yourself.🤨
Looks like this will be the brightest thing you’ll see this July 😂 ☔️
July might be les mis 😒 but it’s a still a great time to celebrate your July doggo. 🧡
This one is for the July birthdays or gotchas or even the ones that just like willing on the summertime. 💗
Keep the faith guys, I’m sure happy July times are on the way. 🌤️
It’s Bert’s birthday! 🎉🥳
He’s such a good boy and I can’t believe he’s only 1 considering how far he’s come in the last six months of being part of our fam. 🥰
We’ve pretty much spent the entire week celebrating him in all kinds of different ways. He’s had all manner of treats, three different parties 😂 and obviously a few edible cards 🥳
He’s so loved by all around him. It just goes to show what an amazing little man he is 🧡
Help me out here 🙏
I need to know some of the funnest - as in the most fun - things you do with your dog.
I always try and make dog cards that are based on real life things – for instance, our nickname cards like “Sloppy Chops” and “Greedy Guts”… Well, they are tributes to dogs I’ve known. 😚
And the “Sit… Sit… Sit… Oh forget it, just eat the card” - Well, that was definitely based on real life events too! 🤣
So, I’m looking for some help in creating a new happy range of fun cards and I’d really appreciate if you could inspire me with the funnest things you do with your doggos.
Please let me know in the comment and I will love you forever. 🧡
Also make sure to tag anyone you know who does the best stuff with their dog - I want to hear what they say too 🙏 🐶
p.s – before you start, “funnest” is a legit term in dog circles. 🤓
Do you celebrate a Gotcha Day? 🤔
Not everyone does it. Not everyone even knows what it is.
If you don’t know, a Gotcha Day is the day that your dog came to join your family and a lot of people celebrate that on the same day each year.
A lot do the time a gotcha day is the day people choose to celebrate their dog when they don’t know their birthday.
But lots of people who do celebrate their dog’s birthday also celebrate their gotcha day separately. 🎉🥳
What with us training guide dogs, we don’t have a dog with us for a whole year so we don’t tend to be able to celebrate a gotcha (except on the day they arrive) but when, or if, I do one day retire from guide dogs, I’m deffo going to be the gotcha AND birthday celebrator.
🧡
Not everyone gets this one 🤔
I think it takes special dog obsessed brains to work it out. 🧠
I’ll give you a clue though… It could be used to celebrate a dog turning 7, but not only then. 🤔
I bet you get it now. 😁
Anyway, I love this card so much I’ve given it a revamp for 2024.
What do you think of the new version? ❓

Cards that we should’ve made… But we didn’t.
I only wish this was true about our house 😏
Unfortunately (for me) our house will actually be football mad for the next few weeks. 🤨
Just what I thought this summer needed… more football. ⚽️ 🔫
Never mind, eh?
At least our blond lab Bert is with me… The only football he watches is the one he’s chewing 😂

THE DOG WHO EATS EVERYTHING
The inspiration behind this edible dog card was one of our past guide dogs in training, Loki. 🦮
When he was a pup, he would literally eat anything and everything. 🤤
Usually, it was stuff he really shouldn’t eat. 😡
I’m talking, socks, slippers, any form of dog toy, even full on plants from the garden.. Absolutely nothing was safe. 🤨
Most of the time he didn’t exactly ‘eat’ a lot of it.
He’d more like chew it all to smithereens and then leave it as little drooly presents around the house.
Which was nice. 🤮
So this card is for the chewers, the nibblers, the sloppy chompers, those dogs that eat eeeeeverything.
God bless the little savages. 🥰
Thanks to Jack and Fam for the 📸 Jack is one handsome chap. 😘
🤔 Sometimes, a subtle message is all a card needs.
👀 In the edible doggy card world... You have to spell it out.
One really brilliant thing about us dog people is that we all love to shout about our doggos.🐶
It makes me think that those who aren’t dog lovers must think we’re all a bit mad.🤷♀️
Well, even if it is mad, I think it’s really lovely to see people posting about their dogs.💖
When someone posts a pic or video up about a fun thing they’re doing with their dog that day, it just shows you how much they love them and how proud they are to have them in their daily life.🥰
I think that’s such a genuinely good thing and I love it. 🧡
I’ve had 16 guide dog pups so far and I’ve had nicknames for every single one of them. 🦮
Some of my dog’s nicknames have inspired our cards, like Greedy Guts 😋 and Sloppy Chops 🤤 so I wondered if you could help inspire me for some new cards...
I’d love to know your dog’s nickname and, most importantly, why they’ve ended up with their nickname!
I love a good story, so let me know in the comments 🧡
Scrolling through Facebook and this came up on my feed. Squealed abit. 🤪🧡🥰
P.s still can’t watch my pitch back. Not quite plucked up the courage to do that yet!
🐶🧡 LOVE YOU SO MUCH 🧡🐶
Sometimes, the simplest messages are the best.
Here’s one of our all-time best sellers and it’s easy to see why.
This card can be used as a birthday card, as a valentine, as a Christmas card or - most importantly - as a card just to say: “I love you”.
I’m so happy that people get that cards and treats are an all year-round thing for spreading love and happiness to your dogs and that you don’t just have to wait till their birthday or Christmas.
Thanks for spreading the love buddies. 🧡

Say hello to the No No Woman 👎👎 When the training is hard enough as it is, other people totally don’t ever get that guide dogs are actually not pets 🦮. I understand that they’re flippin’ gorgeous but it’s usually best that they’re left alone when you see them out and about. 🙏🏻 Absolutely everyone I know who’s trained guide dogs has had instances where people have come over and just started to stroke the dog or generally distract them 😤 One of my worst incidents was when a drunk bloke came over and tried to feed my dog some chips when we were out walking in Manchester in the day time. 🤬 I could’ve knocked his block off 🥊 Usually, its much more innocent reasons why people want to say hello to the doggos and I totally sympathise and I often feel a bit mean 😪 But, when I explain it, people usually understand that the doggies are doing a job and that job needs to be taken seriously 😊👍 #guidedogsuk #guidedogintraining #sundaydogwalk #nono
Behind the camera is actually a really anxious girlie, that pushes herself out of her comfort zone every single day. But would sometimes rather be alone in a quiet room, with a jar of tartare sauce. 👀 #btsloveyourself #smallbizlife #behindthemask #ediblecardsfordogs
This is one for the overly loving #dogmamas (and papas) 🐶🧡 You work really hard raising an extra special fur baby and it’s about time you deserve a little bit of the credit. So if you’ve work hard enough to merit your legendary doggy parent status, then you’re gonna wanna use this for your dog’s next birthday card… 🎂 🐶 Save this post so you don’t forget 🔖
How Loki became a star of the big screen 📺 ⭐️🐶 I bang on about him all the time but Loki really was an amazing doggo 🦮 But he did have his moments of madness. 🤪 One time during lockdown, Matthew started growing corn on the cobs in the garden. 🌽 They got to about 4ft tall and corn started sprouting out and everything… He was really pleased with them… Until one day, in what seemed like seconds, Loki had decided he was going to harvest the crops himself! 😳 He tore them all down, ate all the corn, ate quite a lot of the storks too and just left splinters and leaves on the floor. 😬 So when Rylan was talking about how amazingly well behaved Loki is, Matthew had a few choice words to say about that 🙊😂 Other than those kind of incidents, Loki was and still is an absolute hero. He now lives on a boat on the canal and even helps his mum Tracey with opening and closing the locks. 🥹 What a guy🧡 #guidedogsuk #oneshow #bbc #sundaydog
The most popular doggy names this year 👀 as ordered through our online store so far this year. I think some may come as a bit of a surprise. I feel like we’ve had a lot of Barneys lately.. But they didn’t even make the list 😮 In other news, on a dog walk, I met a Labrador called Phil the other day 😂 love that name for a dog 🧡🐶 #mondaydog
Steal this for your friend’s dog’s birthday card… 🐶🧡 It’s your birthday - Are you surprised that I knew? Well, your parents have told me all about you. They’ve never shut up, Since you were a pup, They’re obsessed with all that you do. 🥰🐶 #happysundayeveryone #sundaydogday
Training guidies has shaped my life in more ways than just my love of dogs… 👀 Maybe they helped me choose my life partner too? 🥰 🤔 It’s funny how magic can happen in the most unexpected ways. 🤣💩🐕
Halloween is not long away now… 👻 Well, it is a while away... But a girl’s gotta prep. 😅 So, I’m asking you lovely people to decide what you think would look best on our new edible doggy Halloween card. We’ve already have howling werewolves 🐺 and trick or treating pooches 😈 so this year I’m wanting to create something new and extra ghoulish.😱 We’ve got loads of ideas for all kinds of doggy scariness and I want you to decide what we go with. The options are: Vampire 🧛 Devil 👹 Zombie 🧟 Pumpkin 🎃 Ghost 👻 Please let me know your choice in the comments. 🙏 #halloweendogs #halloweendogideas #halloweengiftideas
I genuinely started with the whole edible dog car thing by thinking it was just a nice treat to give to your dog in their birthday. Never in my wildest dreams did I think people would send my edible doggy cards for all kinds of occasions… especially ones with such heartfelt messages. I didn’t realise that our cards aren’t just for the dogs to enjoy, they’re also for the doggy parents. Sending a card to the dog of a friend or family member is an indirect way of you acknowledging the dog as an important member of that persons family - I see that now and it makes me even prouder 🧡 #dogcommunity #dogsarefamilytoo #doginclusive #scoffpaper #dogfriendly #womaninbusiness #smallbizlife #creativebusinessowner
Something you never knew about a Cavapoo! 🐶 Here’s Ralphie celebrating his first birthday - He’s an F1B Cavapoo and you can watch this reel 👀 to find out what that means. 🤔 He’s also a lot gorgeous. 😍 #cavapoo #cavapooworld #f1bcavapoo #cavapoos_of_instagram #cavapoolovers #cavapoolove
Send this poem to someone who struggled with moulting dogs 🐕 they will feel my pain 😂 If your dog is a big moulter, this poem is for them! As you can see from the video, our Bert is a massive moulter. In the past we’ve had golden retrievers who have been crazy shedders, but Bert trumps them all. Every day he gets groomed and every day is the same. I also have to hoover the whole house every day… and he doesn’t even go upstairs! His hair sure does though. 😤 It’s a never ending story with Bert, we go to great lengths to get rid of it all and the very next day he’s back with a shedload more. He’s kind like that. 😂 Shout out to @groomi_uk because without this little device I don’t know where we’d be. Probably trapped under a mountain of dog hair, if I’m being honest. Happy Sunday to the moulters and their hard working parents x
Stories you never get told about guide dogs 🦮 So I’ve had 16 guide dog pups so far and Alfie was number 2.. After the legendary Ian. 🦮 Alfie was a ball of energy and he never stopped jumping around and causing mayhem - and knicking my bras! But you know what, he was a pup then, and now he’s a fully working guide dog… and has been for years. The things that a lot do people don’t realise is that guide dogs, although amazingly intelligent, are still dogs. They are still the fun loving, and sometimes quite silly, playful characters that all other dogs are. 🤪 But once the harness goes on, they know it’s time to work and that’s what makes them such heroes. 🙌 This story about Alfie kind of says it all about how even the crazy ones can go on to do great things. 👏 Me and my mum always laugh about this story whenever we remember Alfie lad 🥰 #guidedogsuk #guidedogsintraining #guidedogs #funnydogstuff #dogstories #puppyraiser #puppyraising #naughtydogs
