Today I thought I would taste-test all the hand made dog biscuits. My wife makes them, so I know exactly how they are made and what goes in them, so I'm not crazy! You won't catch me eating a Bonio!
The Peanut Butter and Banana Donuts taste a bit like a Nature Valley bar, but without all the sugar, which isn't surprising seeing as they are mainly oats. The Sweet Potato Bones are mainly sweet potato, and that is what they taste like. The Choice Bones were a real revelation; much nicer than I thought! The dominant flavour is ripe banana, with a nice rounded toasted flavour.
I would not recommend that you do the same as me. I ate these biscuits fresh out of the oven, and not after they had been sitting in my shop for a while, and probably touched by hands that have touched other things. Fortunately dogs can cope with a bit of bacteria a lot better than us, because their more acidic stomachs will kill bacteria that would cause problems for you and me.

We have often heard people say that they regularly go to Hillier Garden Centre, but didn't realise that our shop was there, tucked away at the top of the slope. Well, this nice new sign should help to fix that!

Hello everyone, Eric here, working in the Hemel store today. The store in Radlett is starting to look like a winner, and I have a team there who I trust. It's been a traumatic year-and-a-half, involving several dismissals of staff, but I now have a team in Radlett who I feel very confident in.
While I have been focusing on building something new, the old store in Hemel has been going downhill, so I have now arranged things so I will be in Hemel most of the week, every week, for the foreseeable future.
I would love to be able to just employ people and count the money, but that doesn't seem to be how it works. We have had a few resignations in Hemel, who won't be replaced. Instead I will just work harder, often on my own, as in the good old days of the store. As ever, I need your feedback, your criticism, and your support.

Two Enzos! What are the odds?

Today we had two Golden Retriever puppies in store, who met for the first time. Both are named Enzo, and both live in Radlett. What are the odds?!

One of our good boys in Radlett.

We sold LOTS of coats and fleeces last weekend, in both stores. This handsome chap is wearing a Pawsome Suit, made from stretchy water-resistant fleece. As well as keeping your dog warm in the cold weather, it protects from dirt. It is quicker and easier to put the suit in the wash, than it is to wash your dog. We have several colours and sizings, inlcuding suits tailored for pugs and dachshunds.

Hello everyone. I'm sitting at the computer at home, trudging through all the office work required to keep the business running. I am looking forward to working in Hemel's top secret pet shop tomorrow. This year hasn't been great in the Hemel store, but I can tell you with confidence that we aren't going anywhere any time soon, and I look forward to giving the store some TLC and getting things cooking again. Please keep talking to us, and about us. There are hundreds of Pet owners in Hemel who don't know we exist!
