We love these new Summit Sign leads. Not only do they carry useful messages but they are comfy to hold and have good quality locking clips and a traffic handle built in. We think they would pair well with one of our hoodies. You can have the design on a different colour if you prefer! (We can do all sorts of other designs too) the leads are £25 and the hoodies are £20. The halo lights are also new, they have different colour options all in one light and are usb rechargeable. (£16 for those)

It’s a sad weekend for the Doodledales crew as we have had to say goodbye to Jasper the Airedale (the dale part of the business name) he wasn’t that well known in person as by our own admission he could be a k**b sometimes (we took him to work once - he couldn’t deal with all the people coming and going, wasn’t particularly welcoming!) He was a lovely lad who gave Jenny and Brian lots of love and companionship. Rest well JJ

The deliveries from the trade show are coming in thick and fast. We have Botanica creams, Lickimats, treats and chews from JR and Nova, and a little bit of Christmas in this box mountain. We have also had DAF, Cotswold and Naked Dog in to refill the freezers. There are some new products lurking in here somewhere I will post about them at some point!

After a great day at suffolkdogday we have been getting the shop stock back in place and aiming to have a move around whilst doing so. This has made way for a display of Halloween dog toys which will be joined by festive ones quite soon. We have rejigged the harness wall too, we will probably be moving these again in the future so they are not so close to the walk in freezer as we know some dogs are frightened by the noises it makes when it starts up.
We’ve had deliveries in this week from The Dogs Butcher, Nutriment, Alpha Spirit, Literally, Naked Dog and DAF (I’ve also probably forgotten something!)
31/08/2024
Naturaw, Nutriment and DAF have been restocked. Southcliffe is due in next week, we are hoping for Wednesday but no promises at the moment.
Starting to get everything sorted for Suffolk Dog Day, we look forward to seeing you there.

Who doesn’t love a pretty collar! We have ordered in these ready for suffolkdogday (Sunday 8th September) where we have a super size trade pitch. We will have all sorts of treats and accessories including these collars, Perfect Fit, Ruffwear and NonStop harnesses (which we will have plenty of space for fittings) and also our WordArt hoodies and tshirts. We are really looking forward to it!

We had a visit yesterday from the inspirational vet Tom Lonsdale. Here he is signing copies of his books which will be in our reading area once it’s sorted and after we have read and digested them. A great advocate for feeding raw meaty bones for all round health and also highlighting the issues with ultra processed foods.
We have a section on our online shop for DIY raw feeders so be sure to check it out.

Important! There is going to be a planned power cut to our building on the morning of FRIDAY 16th August. We will therefore be opening at 2pm so that all the freezers keep happy (and we won’t be able to open the shutter til the power is back) keep an eye on here in case anything changes.

I wasn’t really expecting this but look, we are finalists in another national award! Super pleased with the recognition, now we just have to wait until the end of September to know how we did.
On a different note Jenny is off at the moment as her good knee is no longer as good! Jessy and Franklin will be doing their best to keep on top of everything but some of our own deliveries may be at different times or shipped out by local courier, and things may be just not quite as usual!
