🐶💔 FAREWELL TO OUR FAVOURITE BOUNCY BOY, GEORGE! 💔🐶

Oh, George. Where do we even begin?! For the past two years, our days have been made brighter by the sight of you barging through our doors, tail wagging like a wind turbine, demanding hugs and (of course) a pocket full of treats. You never just walked in – you owned the place! And let’s be honest, your hoomans never stood a chance when you decided it was time for a pit stop at your favourite doggy store!

From your impeccable top knot to your obsession with our political dog toys (Trump was a particular favourite... or nemesis? We’ll let you decide), you’ve been one of the most special, loyal, and loveable customers we’ve ever had. Your hoomans always made sure you had the best of the best—treats, toys, and everything in between—and we loved seeing you get spoiled the way you deserved!

But now… you’re off to the Big Apple! And not just any old flight—oh no, George is jetting off in style on a PRIVATE JET with a pack of other lucky doggos. Excuse us while we try not to be jealous. (I did ask if I could sneak into his luggage, but apparently, that wasn’t part of the plan 😢.)

We’re going to miss you so much, George. London won’t be the same without your wiggly butt dragging your hoomans into our shop. But we know you’ll be living your best New York life. Just don’t forget us when you’re strutting down Fifth Avenue, okay? And trust us—you won’t find treats as good as ours over there! 😉

To George and his wonderful hoomans, THANK YOU for being part of our little family. If you ever find yourselves back in London, you must pop in for a proper reunion. Until then, enjoy every second of your new adventure! ❤️✈️🐾

Love your dog so fiercely that when they're gone, the silence aches and their memories hug you in their place. 🐾🐾

🎉 It’s Frida’s 14th Birthday! 🐾💖

We’re celebrating our world, our heart, our cheeky little black miniature schnauzer, Frida, who turns 14! 🎂 If you know us personally, you already know: everything revolves around her—and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

From the hours we work, to where we holiday, to whether or not we even leave the house—every decision is made with Queen Frida in mind. 🏡 Our furniture? Chosen for her comfort. Our duvets and pillows? Only the softest so she sleeps like royalty. 👑 And, of course, her meals and treats are the best for a healthy, happy life. Because when you’re the center of the universe, only the best will do!

Frida’s journey hasn’t been without challenges—recent health scares (suspected mini strokes) have reminded us how precious every moment is, but she’s a fighter and thankfully, she’s still bringing joy to every day. 🐶💪 We cherish every cuddle, every bark, every silly moment with her. Our walls are filled with her photos, and even our store logo is inspired by her silhouette. She’s not just our dog; she’s our inspiration and greatest love.

Happy Birthday, Frida! 🎉 Thank you for 14 incredible years of love and joy. Here’s to more treats, more naps, and more unforgettable moments together. 💕

🐾 Breaking News from Octo-Freddie HQ! 🐾

Remember Freddie, the fabulous cockerpoo who made headlines in our store for collecting all three colours of our original Octopus doggo toys? Well, hold onto your leads because... Freddie’s done it again! 🎉

Today, the new Bobble Octopus arrived, and guess who was first through the door? Yep, Freddie wasted no time adding Octopus No. 4 to his ever-growing collection. He’s now officially the proud owner of a complete OctoQuartet! 🐙🐙🐙🐙

So what’s all the fuss about?
The Bobble Octopus is next-level:
💚 Fresh colours: Green, Grey, Brown
🤎 Upgraded fabric for extra softness and durability
🎶 Crinkles, honks, AND squeaks (Freddie’s ears literally perk up every time)
🛋 Plush underside and cosy hollow fibre filling
📏 Two sizes, so pups big and small can join the octo-party

Freddie says it’s a “BIG PAWS UP 🐾” for this new addition. He’s now considering applying for a Guinness World Record for most octopuses owned by a cockerpoo. (We’re still figuring out the paperwork. 😂)

Freddie’s verdict: “More tentacles = more fun!”
So don’t wait—grab your own Bobble Octopus before Freddie decides he needs a backup collection.

🐶 HAS PM GONE TO THE DOGS (LITERALLY) 🐾

Breaking news from the chewable corridors of power: our parody Keir Starmer doggo toy is here to give the dogs of Britain a squeaky slice of political satire! With his real-life-inspired silver quiff (crafted in plush fabric perfection), vibrantly printed lawyer’s suit, and those iconic rosy cheeks, this 100% unofficial, unendorsed parody toy has become the talk of the nation’s dog parks.

But here’s the real scandal: is Keir less of a fan favourite since his historic election landslide and budget reveal? Have dogs turned their backs—or rather, their teeth—on the chewable Prime Minister? Or are pups now gnawing on him with renewed vigor as a post-budget protest?

Some early polling (okay, Instagram comments) suggests dog parents might be falling out of love with our squeaky statesman. “Not enough bite in his budget,” says one cheeky owner. Another claims, “My pup only chews the squeaker in the tummy. Is that symbolic?”

Will this week’s “reset” win over skeptical dog owners—or has Keir peaked as the chew toy PM? After all, two squeakers (one in the head and one in the tummy) is nothing to sniff at. The toy is still undeniably fun, but let’s face it, Britain loves an underdog more than an actual top dog.

💡 Sales up or down? Are we seeing a resurgence in parody dog toy politics, or has Sir Keir’s chewable charm lost its shine in the harsh light of post-election scrutiny? One thing’s for sure: he’s still squeakier than the dispatch box debates.

🐾 Dogs, chomp wisely. Humans, let’s agree this toy is the most entertaining thing politics has produced in years.
