Ginger&Browns

Ginger&Browns We have hand-picked our products because they are high quality, natural, ethical, and sourced locally or within the UK where possible. So come and meet us!

Awarded Gold for UK Pet Retailer of the Year 2020, Ginger&Browns is an upmarket pet store and service in the heart of Cheshire specialising in high quality foods, toys, natural treats and chews for dogs, cats and wildlife. Welcome to Ginger & Browns,

We are far more than just a pet store; we are a service that allows you and your animals to benefit directly from our knowledge and experience. Howe

ver, most importantly, we have selected our products with you, your dogs, cats, and your local wildlife at the heart of our decisions. We will give you an entirely different experience when you visit us in store, and offer you products you never knew were essential. We want to help you to make informed choices about the products that you purchase from us and we do not simply stock our shelves with mainstream brands. We are abandoning the label of pet shop, the image of a cluttered, dark, stale store, with staff often offering incorrect, unethical or dangerous advice. Instead, we are bringing pet and wildlife care in line with modern living. But our store is just the start of our plans. We are setting in motion a host of ideas to bring convenience, knowledge and quality to your lifestyle. Supporting other small and, where possible, local businesses is core to our ethos, and means our products have a lower carbon footprint, but we want to go further than just supporting other small businesses. We want to give back to our community, and particularly strive to support projects however we can, which we believe will benefit UK pets and wildlife. You’ll find us at Blakemere Village in Cheshire, and please bring your dogs too! We would love to see photos of your dogs, cats and local wildlife, so make sure you post them to our page!

Being Prepared on Walks 🐾
I never leave the house without my changing bag for my toddler, and now I make sure I’m just as prepared for my dog too! 🐕 Having everything ready, especially water, is so important all year round.

What’s in your dog-walking bag? 👜 Here’s what I keep in mine:
✔️ Collapsible water bowl & water bottle – Staying hydrated is a must!
✔️ Poo bags – Because responsible dog ownership is key.
✔️ Treats – Perfect for training or rewarding good behaviour.
✔️ First aid kit – Just in case of small injuries or emergencies.
✔️ Towel – Great for muddy paws or unexpected rain.
✔️ Extra lead – You never know when you’ll need it.
✔️ Ball – For playtime during our adventures.
✔️ Wipes – Handy for cleaning paws, gear, or my toddler’s sticky hands!

I’d love to know—what do you bring on your walks?

We missed this sad news yesterday, but Karen Pryor - probably the most famous trainer when it comes to clicker training has passed away.

For myself personally, I learnt to train my pet fish as a child using a video she had made, using a torch to make flashes as a substitute for the clicker - it would spit water from the surface, jump, and swim through hoops for me.

In her 90s, she was a good age, but never the less it's sad to hear. We have clickers in store, and it's one of the most frequent questions we get - what they are and how to use them!

Unfortunately news articles are scarce, but here's one linked for you 😊

Karen Pryor died on January 4, 2025. Famed for teaching the world how to use a simple tool to teach skills to animals (very much including humans), she had a long life filled with adventures and an…

🌟 New Year, New Adventures 🌟

This past year, I realised I got a little too comfortable sticking to the same local walks. While they’re lovely, I want to shake things up in 2024! My resolution? To explore more—new views, charming coffee shops, and experiences that get me (and my pup 🐶) out and about.

The world is becoming such a dog-friendly place, and I want to include my furry best friend in as much as possible. They’re only with us for a short time, so I want to make every moment count.

Also, I want to take a page out of his book—be more present, ask for less, give more love, and appreciate the little things. ❤️

What are your New Year’s resolutions? They say if you declare it to the world, it’s more likely to happen! Let’s hear yours! 🌟

✨ A little recap of some of the cutest moments from the team and doggie visitors this year! 🐾❤️

As we welcome the New Year, we wish you all the best for a fresh start. Chase your dreams, make unforgettable memories, and cherish every moment with your loved ones—including the dogs! 🎉🐶

Here’s to an amazing year ahead!

Love from all of us here at Ginger&Browns and Innoscent Spa

Sick to death of fireworks being a problem for your dog? 🎆🐾
Let 2025 be the year you help your dog overcome their fears. As much as we dog owners would love silent fireworks, a complete ban, or drone light shows to take over, we might need to be proactive and start working on the issue ourselves.

Learn all about desensitisation with Josh! This advice can be applied to anything that triggers a reaction in your dog. With consistent attention and careful planning, it’s possible to reduce these fears and help your dog feel more confident and secure.

Share to spread the word about desensitisation and make a difference for our furry friends! 🙏
