Good morning! And hello from the Designed for Dogs team! 👋
We’ve been a little quiet on socials lately but as ever we’ve been busy beavering away in the studio!
We’ve enjoyed some time-off, battled with seasonal flu and Holly’s been studying alongside running the business!
And we’ve also been even busier than usual working through your orders! Somehow it all seems so much easier in our new HQ because we are much more efficient; the new workspace has been better in more ways than we could have imagined! And meeting so many customers in-person in our boutique has been the icing on the cake!
We’ll be sharing as much as we can in the run up to Christmas, (though some days we just don’t get chance to take photos!) with lots of gifting ideas for the 4-legged family and those hard to buy for dog lovers!
Plus we have something very special planned for December so make sure you sign up to our newsletter (via our website) before 1st December!
Oh and enjoy free embroidery on all Dog Beds, Blankets, Mats & Snuggle Sacks until 10 December! See our website (link in bio) for full details!
Thanks for reading!

🎉 6 Months in Our New Studio & Boutique! 🎉
Today we’re celebrating a little milestone – it’s been 6 months since we moved into our beautiful new studio and boutique here in the Lincolnshire Wolds!
In that time, we’ve:
🐾 Opened our very own boutique ✨
🐾 Hosted open days and welcomed so many of you through our doors
🐾 Held a photoshoot full of wagging tails
🐾 Met hundreds of adorable dogs and their lovely owners
🐾 Won the Village Scarecrow Festival (ridiculously proud of that one 😁)
Our new space has allowed us to work more efficiently, create even more beautiful products, and spend time with the community that makes Designed for Dogs so special. Most importantly, our team absolutely LOVE working here – it’s made such a difference to our little business.
And now… we’re so excited to be heading into our first Christmas in the new space. We’ve got lots of festive plans, beautiful gifts for dogs (and their humans!), and we can’t wait to share it all with you.
💛
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Whether you’ve shopped online, visited us in person, or just cheered us on from afar – we wouldn’t be here without you. Here’s to the next 6 months (and beyond)!
📸 Pop in soon or tag us in a pic of your pup enjoying their Designed for Dogs goodies – we really love seeing them!

Eek! Our 2nd time hosting an event and we had a brilliant day… and we’re a just about recovered I think 😅
On Sunday we held our end of summer sale and rescheduled photoshoot and once again had a brilliant time seeing customers old & new.
We had puppies as young as 4 months through to 12 year old dogs in the photoshoot, they all did a phenomenal job of modelling and I can’t wait to share photos with you soon 🤩
Hats off to mum of for her amazing skills in photography, capturing dog’s attention, and especially quick reflexes snapping the perfect picture! 📸
Piccie is from our last open day when mum came to see us and took the most beautiful photos of our boutique. Think we need to make this an annual event ladies? 🤩

Do you Have a Big Dog who Likes a Soft Bed?
Our Mattress Beds are the perfect mix of support and ‘squish’, supporting the weight of a heavier dog whilst being soft & snuggly too!
The L/XL is modelled by Zuri here, a Dobermann x Beauceron.
And right now you can get a half-price Picnic Pad or Blanket with every bed order!

Before we brought home our rescue pup, Rocky, we wanted to buy him a bed that we could easily wash, and that would look nice in our home. We were dismayed that so many beds labelled 'washable' meant putting the entire bed in the washing machine! Not only were most beds too big for a typical machine but they rarely come out the same shape or softness. The covers were often poor quality with a limited choice of colours & patterns. And we'd always found with previous beds that many fibre fillings go 'flat' very quickly, losing their comfort and support.
Frustrated by this we spent the following months speaking to other dog owners, researching and testing materials, and over time have created our own range of beds. Living in the countryside has inspired our country-themed fabrics, and also provides the perfect testing ground for durability and washability!
Our products aren't the cheapest out there, but they are certainly not the most expensive either. We carefully select the very best materials and the prices truly reflect the quality of the product. In buying from Designed for Dogs we are confident you are buying a product that will last well and still look great.
We also offer a full bespoke service so if you are looking for a certain something, please contact us and we will create it for you!
We are expanding our lines all the time with exciting plans for the future, so keep an eye on our Etsy shop or add it to your favourites to be notified of any updates. Follow us on instagram to see what goes on at Designed for Dogs HQ, or on Facebook where you'll find details of shows and events we'll be attending, where we have beds available to try (come and see just how good they really are!). We also run regular competitions, including our monthly cover star competition on Facebook!
We set up Designed for Dogs as a brand that would encompass many practical features for dogs & their owners without compromising on quality or style. We hope when you make a purchase you will agree, we have received wonderful feedback from our loyal customers so far!
