In case you’re wondering where we are and what we’re up to…
The dogs of pride; Finn, Jesse & William = Finnessiam (our brand)
🐩🐈🐎🇨🇦🇮🇪🇬🇧
(42)
Better, safer pet health/grooming products formulated, created & tested (only on humans as animal testing is gross) by a naturopath & retired certified master groomer.
In case you’re wondering where we are and what we’re up to…
Don't forget - all our Finnessiam products will always be available in Canada/US through dogsofpride.com - we won't leave your pets!
Getting VERY excited here - next week is DUBLIN HORSE SHOW!!!!
Don't forget to come and see us!
HAPPY CANADA DAY!
Hope all our Canadian chums are having a great day and look after those pets - keep them away from the fireworks!
Still all evening left to get in on our BOGO sale and BOY, has it been a busy one! Thank you all so far, we've still got lots of stock for you!
Canada Day BOGO sale!
PLEASE read the small print - no exceptions! Thanks.
Happy Canada Day to all our Canadian fans, followers, creepers and trolls! LOL
Get your deals July 1st on the cleanest, most effective Canadian made, woman owned company's products or be really sad and we don't want that!
Now I know it's a bit confusing... where are we, how do I order etc etc.
Please bear with me as I get the Finnessiam webpage up to speed and it will hopefully become clearer.
But, the simple answer is, we moved to Ireland (my original home)! I know most of you know this but this is for those at the back!
But, we have a wonderful retailer Spaw at Home who is also our main distribution centre for all the orders in Canada and the US.
I'll be looking after Ireland and the UK.
Don't worry about losing touch with me though if you are an original client in Canada/US, most regular clients know they can still speak directly with me and any order placed through the website still all come to me too so if you need extra things that you couldn't add on your order through the site, just email me and we will get you sorted.
With the wonderful affordable phone plans in the UK I can also call you anywhere in the world for no charge! So please, don't worry, you can't get rid of me that easily! :)
I know its Canada Day tomorrow and it's been a while as this year has been hectic with all the things...so...
Let's have a Canada Day Sale!
Finnessiam / Sealy & Spoo products* only. *Does NOT include gallons.
Buy one get one FREE!
CANADA ONLY!
ONE DAY ONLY!
ONLINE ORDERS ONLY!
Your free one(s) will automatically be added during packing - do NOT add these to your order as the site will NOT discount it, nor will we refund part if you didn't read the info! NO EXCEPTIONS (cos we pay a ton of fees and don't get those back if we have to refund anything!)
IF you decide to do us a solid and want to help us save on fees, you can email transfer... read the info as you work through the checkout, it IS all there... there will be an extra special item thrown in as we appreciate you supporting us in all we do.
Until the Finnessiam site is reworked, goto www.dogsofpride.com to order as always.
Offer is applicable to retail orders for one day only; July 1 2024. None of these promotions or sales are affiliated with Facebook, meta, Orr any other nonsense that causes these post to get censored and shadow banned!
Hey there Canada!
We haven't done anything "fun" in a while (by fun, we mean specials!)
Fancy a Canada Day sale? Sorry, Canada Only - UK & Ireland will be looked after by Finnessiam Health, when they get their act together and clean up their website!
Oops did I digress (as usual)...
What specials or offers would you like to see?
Let us know;
Free Shipping?
BOGO?
Something else?
What a great excuse to come to Ireland - to see us out with our Finnessiam booth! Can't make it then? No worries, we'll see you at the Dublin Horse Show in August with lots of goodies and (hopefully) a fancy new backdrop too!
Hey Ireland!
Whatcha doin July 13?
Come see us at the
Our first show in Ireland!
Can’t wait to meet everyone!
Saw this lovely fellow today… Master McGrath, a very famous greyhound who won the Waterloo Cup three times between 1968-1871. Was past in the car so didn’t get a pic this time but thought I’d share the story.
I’m sure I’ll get some the next time I’m down this way as I’ll be getting stocked up at NEIL CASEY LTD, both for us and the dogs!
Found on Google from en.wikipedia.org
🎵Suuuummmmertime… and the bugs are a biting!
Yep, it’s that time again, both sides of the pond, whether it’s black flies, mosquitoes or midgies, all can be irritating to your pup.
Time to order in the Heebie Fleebies from our Sealy & Spoo line, while stock lasts!
Our leave in conditioner/ detangler also acts as a great bug deterrent and after bite soothing spray.
Couple it with a weekly bath using the Heebie Fleebies Shampoo to help soothe and protect the skin and don’t forget to grab a Brilliant Balm too as this has proven to be one of the best after bite sticks with no smell or nasty ingredients for you too (we always have one handy)!
*Heebie Fleebies is not suggested for use on cats due to citrus oils etc.
Please groom responsibly!
The pups are loving their new home… who wouldn’t enjoy a lovely ocean breeze and a walk along the shore every evening?
We're pretty stoked to have become the distributor for all of Ireland, North and South for Hestaband! Please give a shout out to your equine friends across the pond (for those original followers reading in Canada and US!) and let them know they will have a local supplier now!
Finnessiam will also have a booth at the Dublin Horse Show at the RDS in Dublin this August so tell everyone to come and shop at the booth as we launch back home!
🚨 EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨
We are thrilled to announce our newest distributor!
Please give a warm welcome to Wendie Patrick! She will be providing our kinesiology tapes to the Island of Ireland and the UK!
Wendie is just getting her shop set up and you can connect with her via email at [email protected]
And yes! She already has the ENTIRE Hestaband collection!
Team Hestaband is growing!

Thank you for TAPING with us!
In the middle of the whirlwind of moving we kinda forgot to celebrate both Wendie’s birthday and Dogs of Pride’s… oops!
Dogs of Pride is 14 years old and Wendie’s a bit more than that but let’s wish them all a big Happy Birthday 🥳 from either side of the pond!
Halter for sale - fit Murphy - Morgan/Percheron. Full leather for show with brass hardware - ad is also on marketplace but it won't let me share on here!
Last of the items that aren't going with me!
Has to go by next weekend May4.
Only asking $65 and it's brand new, just needs a dusting and polish
Take note - stick to the Smart Oil and massage Clever Cream into the joints instead.
Phase 1 complete and we hardly had any downtime as orders are complete and ready to ship (some already have, cos we’re that efficient!).
Products in Canada will now be housed in Ontario and all orders can be placed via our website www.dogsofpride.com for shipping all across Canada.
International orders including USA can also be placed through there, please select “phone order” at checkout so we can customize your shipping options and then contact you for payment.
I will still be working on all your orders behind the scenes, but my wonderful new distributor will be packing them all for you on this side of the pond.
Cute kitty pic for tax!
Phase 1 of our big move is on!
We will be moving all our products this week and ask for your patience as we get sorted. There may be a slight delay on shipping orders over the next few days as we unpack and get organised.
Your understanding is greatly appreciated.
ALL orders will now be processed through the website www.dogsofpride.com and there are no more options for local pickup - cos we're not local anymore...
If you have difficulty ordering or using the website or simply don't like doing that sort of thing on the computer, we will always be available to email and we'll get you looked after.
Love it when our clients tell others how much they love our products!
Best. Marketing. Ever!
🥰
I love this one😍 it has a beautiful citrus scent, an after bite shampoo for the buggy seasons😊🐾
We're packing!
Heads up for local peeps - if you usually pick up product or need to place an order for pick up - please note all items will be gone by Easter (that's only 2 1/2 weeks - OH MY DOG!)
So... get those orders in!
After that shipping will be done from Ottawa - just order as normal at dogsofpride.com but obv pick up won't be an option!
Thank you all
For the past 6 years, yes really it's been that long, we've tried to educate and inform about the legalities on ceebeedee (yes I had to spell the letters otherwise this would be censored too!) for animals.
We've talked and podcasted about safety.
We've ranted about source and the illegal sellers of pet stores claiming there is a "grey area" (there isn't). Plus reported dozens (I will always speak for the animals not some corporate wallet).
We've done seminars, classes, lessons, lives, articles etc. etc.
We've shared the actual legislation and help and info sheets about the subject from Health Canada.
BUT..
People will still buy what they THINK they are getting WITHOUT knowing where it is from, how it is processed, IF it is even tested and getting blindsided by fancy marketing spiels and , let's face it, bare faced lies. (We've heard LOTS!)
We will never keep trying however to highlight what you're getting, what you could be getting and what you should be getting and knowing the difference!
The bottom line is that we will never give up on your animals' wellbeing.
We used to sell the BEST - Pet Releaf, until legislation changed. Many may not have known us then but we LOVE LOVE LOVE h**p and all it's bits and pieces and have been very well educated on it.
We also know the legalities... remember we lost 80% of our business when the Cannabis Act 2018 came into force! We petitioned Health Canada and we dug deep, worked with MLA's (none in NS, it should be noted, gave a #$%*) etc.
Still people are thinking they are getting what it says or even hints at (if it's so legal, why are labels having to be so sneaky - huh?) and they have no idea the processing or what it even is.
Some will claim to have third party testing, yet they produce a scanty paper with their own letterhead.. but you don't even know what you are looking at so how do you know if it means anything?
It is so confusing for a consumer to know... that's why a lot trust us and have learnt about, tried and continue to trust our Finnessiam Health Smart Oil.
We have independent 3rd party testing done through the top lab in Southern California who specialises in this market to show it has zero CBD/THC and more importantly no pesticides, residuals (who wants to feed their pet round up?) or heavy metals.
This is an alternative, never something falsely marketed or sneakily labelled (as some have thought) and we give our full ingredient list right on our package. We don't use h**p seed oil nor take the word "seed" out to make you think we are giving you something we aren't - so many others do that :(
Many of you have discovered a lot of this though trial and error - some have told us and that's why they are dubious about trying the Smart Oil, but as we offer 100% guarantee (because we know our oil is awesome), you can buy with confidence.
In the past 24 hours I have heard two great success stories from cat owners; one now has such a great coat that they no longer need sedated to get matts shaved as the coat doesn't mat - how cool is that?
Another is that another cat that wasn't getting the oil, was stealing enough of his brothers' food, that he was also getting the benefit and stopped throwing up hairballs eery few days (the owner only noticed this due to forgetting the oil for a few days and found a pile of throw up and realised what had been happening!)
I love these stories, sad thing is, people don't tell others enough - so I have to! LOL
I wish we had massive marketing dollars to get all over the place but we will rely on good stories, recommendations, people telling people how much work, research and testing we put into our products and how YOUR pets and animals are our number one priority and to ensure they are getting safer products by educating you, their guardians.
Let's face it, if your animals had the choice - they'd choose Smart Oil!
**UPDATE**
We have our crates!
Many thanks to the lovelies in the Atlantic Show Dogs group, a lovely lady Lynne Brushett shipped me a giant crate on the bus from PEI yesterday! Hugely appreciated!
