Introducing our Cuddly Christmas Fox… Freddie Fox, now winter-ready! ❄️🦊

Our much-loved Woodland Fox Doggo Toy has had the sweetest winter makeover — and we honestly can’t cope.
Soft, snuggly, warm and just a little bit whimsical, he’s the kind of companion that brings smiles before your pup even gets to him. 😇

Kind, gentle and full of heart, Freddie is the sort of woodland friend who gives 200% of himself to his little pack.
He might be small, but he loves to perform and put on a show — and this cuddly little fox is more than ready to make his big festive debut in your home. 🎄💫

This year, Freddie Fox proudly sports his smart grey winter scarf — perfect for frosty mornings, cosy naps, and twinkly Christmas moments. He’s designed for young puppies and small dogs, but bigger pups absolutely adore him too.

If your precious pooch deserves a Christmas full of sparkle, softness and heart…
why not treat them to Freddie Fox?
Or grab both woodland friends so they can enjoy their warmest, waggiest Christmas yet. 🎁🐾

Soft. Snuggly. Full of festive magic.
Freddie is ready — is your pup? 🦊❤️

📣🐶 WHEN THE BUDGET DROPS… THE CHEWING STARTS!

Just when our parody Keir Starmer dog toy thought he could enjoy some downtime, yesterday’s Budget arrived — complete with fiscal rules tighter than a whippet in a wetsuit and tax hikes that made half the country reach for a biscuit.

And then, of course… Rachel Reeves.
Cool. Calm. Collected.
Delivering numbers so big, even the dogs on Tooting Common paused mid-sniff like:
“Sorry… how much??”

Because if there’s one universal truth:
Every dog owner in Britain has now officially chewed more than their dog after hearing that Budget.

Meanwhile, our squeaky PM doesn’t get a break:
He’s got his silver quiff, his lawyer suit, those rosy cheeks —
and two squeakers (one in the head, one in the tummy)
…which feels a little symbolic after this week.

The big question:

Has the Budget made Chew Toy Keir…
🔹 More chewable?
🔹 Less loveable?
🔹 Or now the nation’s unofficial “stress relief” toy for dog owners everywhere?

One thing’s for sure:
Keir might run the country, but Rachel Reeves runs the nation’s blood pressure.

And dogs? Well… they’re just enjoying the show — and the squeaks.

🐶💬 Chew responsibly, pups. The fiscal rules are tough enough.

At Balham Bark, we believe every dog deserves the best start — one filled with confidence, kindness, enrichment and positive learning.
And that’s why we’re so proud to celebrate someone truly special in our dog community…

🎓 Meet Diane

One of the most respected local force-free dog & puppy trainers, helping pups grow into happier, more confident versions of themselves. Rita has been training with her — and honestly, the results have been incredible.

From gentle 1:1 sessions to fun puppy classes, Diane creates a positive, safe space where pups learn through:
💛 encouragement

🎯 focus-building games
🐶 confidence-boosting play

Rita went from “what is happening??” to “actually, I LOVE this!” thanks to Diane’s calm, caring approach.

🛍️ Training + our store = the perfect match

We love that Diane uses many of the products we genuinely believe in:
• natural healthy chews & treats
• enrichment toys & puppy-safe chews
• our training-friendly collars, leads & harnesses
• confidence-building toys

We’re proud to support another small, local, independent business doing amazing work for dogs and their humans.
We don’t just recommend Diane — we genuinely trust her.

💛 A tiny moment that took our breath away… 🐾

We have lots of new toys for little Rita — soft ones, crinkly ones, training toys, the whole puppy starter kit. But today she found something completely unexpected…

While rummaging through one of Frida’s old toy baskets, full of toys she had for years, Rita stopped… sniffed… and picked one out.
Not just any toy — but Frida’s favourite rubber chicken.

Old, a bit worn, slightly grubby… but it was the toy Frida adored. Her number one for fetch, play and chasing around the house.

And out of everything in the pile, that was the one Rita chose.

It was such a heart-warming, emotional little moment — like she found a tiny piece of Frida all by herself. 💛

Now it’s her favourite too. Every day she picks it up, proudly trots around with it, and gives it the same joy and energy Frida used to.

Some things really do have a bit of magic in them. ✨
