Since launching our Duman food, I have thought a lot about the dog behind the brand. Sometimes you carry an animal in your heart for a lifetime. We met Duman the first week we moved to Istanbul. The sight of him strolling into the garden was such a pleasure. He was a gentleman and never chased our cats. He used to come on Sunday for a brush and comb. He would never come into the house, or even use the 'kennel' I made one snowy morning. A free spirit, a gentle soul, a true friend.

Two years ago, we were getting ready to open our doors, which finally happened on 27 September 2017. Although Bunyami, had a retail background, I had never even worked in a shop before and didn’t even know how the till worked on that first day. The shop has come a long way since then.
Firstly, our product range has been refined to reflect what local customers need and want. This has meant that, our dog food section features healthy brands such as Forthglade, Canagan, Symply, Autarky, and a new grain-free range called Exe Valley, which is proving very popular. Our raw food, Albion Country Bowl has loyal followers too. Cats in the neighbourhood tend to favour Wellbeloved and Canagan.
We quickly learned that wildlife supplies were going to be in demand, in an area with woods and plantations. We always enjoy hearing about the wildlife that customers see in their gardens. Bunyami’s homemade bird tables and hedgehog houses have sold well. He uses reclaimed wood as far as possible. The first bird table was mostly made from our old front door! We buy most wildlife food by the sack and either sell it loose or package it ourselves.
One aspect of the job we love, is seeing people’s dogs and fitting them for new coats or harnesses. When we took our late, lamented retriever Honey to the chiropractor, she told us about Perfect Fit harnesses. These come in 3 parts for optimal fit, and are good for the skeleton, and also for training. We started stocking them in the spring, and people come from all over Dorset for fittings.
I have recently qualified as an SQP/AMTRA Animal Medicines Advisor. This has meant we can stock POM-VPS and NFA-VPS category medicines such as Seresto flea and tick collars. This role means that I can advise you on suitable products for your animal. I am legally obliged to ask questions, rather than just hand over what the customer requests. This is to protect the animals in your household. For example, a customer may ask for a flea medicine that contains fipronil, which is fatal to rabbits, so I may check that they don’t have a house rabbit that snuggles with their dog.
The two years have been a steep learning curve, and the best part has been getting to know you all. We have been blessed to have loyal, regular customers, and thanks to you we look forward to going to work every day.
