πŸŽ†πŸ₯‚ HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!! πŸ₯‚πŸŽ†

I hope you're all enjoying the last few days of the festive season! We've had a wonderful time celebrating with good friends and mischievous Podencos.

Tomorrow is the first day of our holiday proper!! It's a pretty big deal for us, not least because it's our first time away from the girls in half a decade 😬

Unfortunately quite a few people didn't collect their pre-orders at the start of the week so instead there's been a change of plans.

⚠️⚠️⚠️I will be at the shop from 10am-11:30am tomorrow for collections only ⚠️⚠️⚠️

This is genuinely the absolute latest I can work so please please please be prepared and on time πŸ™

After that, our next click & collect/delivery date will be the 10th.

Thank you all for your support and cooperation.

πŸŽ†πŸ₯³ FINAL REMINDERS πŸ₯³πŸŽ†

Gooood morning everyone!

Today is your last last last chance to stock up before we close for our January break.

To help the day run smoothly, here's a few reminders...

🐾 Totally Natural is only available for those who placed pre-orders or subscriptions, the next restock will be the 13th of Jan.

🐾 We might might might be lucky and get a restock of Yak Bars this afternoon but it depends on what time DPD gets to us- keep an eye on our stories for updates

🐾 We're expecting to be hugely busy today so it's unlikely we'll be able to answer calls or messages until later on. Please don't rely on WhatsApp or messenger, if there's something you need please get down to the shop as early as you can to avoid disappointment

See you all soon!

🚚 BEHIND THE SCENES: FOOD DELIVERIES 🚚

Thank you all so much for your supportive comments on yesterday's post and for getting your new year's orders in ahead of time for tomorrow!

I thought it might be helpful to let you all have a little sneak peak at how our relationships work with our individual suppliers. We always try to accommodate special orders where we can but each producer has their own delivery timelines, minimum orders and cut off dates so if you rely on a specific product, it's always a good idea to order ahead of time!

πŸ’š Totally Natural:
Every second week, advance orders only. Cut off for orders is the Thursday before delivery. If any pre-orders aren't collected in time, they'll be released for sale in the shop, but we can't make any promises.

πŸ’š Nature's Menu:
We only carry a small range as stander but delivery available to us twice a week so we can usually accommodate special requests quickly.

πŸ’š Dougie's:
Delivery slots are available for this area every second or third week so it's up to us to make sure we're organised ahead of time. We're booked on their first available run of 2025, the week commencing 13th of Jan- with some exciting new arrivals, it's definitely going to be worth the wait!!

πŸ’š Natural Instinct, Benyfit and Paleo Ridge:
These three deliver to us using nationwide couriers, meaning delivery turnaround is super speedy but sometimes we might not get our deliveries until after opening hours. We'll always post on our stories when they arrive so make sure you're following our page for updates

πŸ’š Wilson's:
Delivery varies depending on the size or our order and how busy they are, but they always get to us as quickly as they can. The average turnaround is about a week but it can be as quick as the very next day. Either way, we always plan ahead and make sure we get enough stock to cover our subscription customers.

Keeping the freezers stocked is always a juggling act and it really does take a village, thankfully these awesome suppliers are brilliant at supporting small businesses like ours.

I'll pin this post to the top of our page so you can always check back and see when your favourites will be on their way- hope that helps πŸ’šπŸΎ

⚠️⚠️ IMPORTANT REMINDER: PLEASE READ ⚠️⚠️

Evening everyone πŸ‘‹

We've had a lot of negative comments and feedback about our seasonal hours and I want to take some time to address the criticism before we close for our family holiday...

This year, I made the decision to stick to our regular opening hours in the run up to Christmas (closing on Sundays and Mondays) for a few different reasons. We were both already working at maximum capacity, late evening and Sunday/Monday opening hasn't been productive or covered the overheads for us in the past, and after all the sacrifices that my family has made to support the shop lately it was important for me to be present (and awake πŸ˜‚) for some of the preparations in the run up to Christmas.

When we announced our seasonal hours and holiday plans back in November, dozens upon dozens of you got in touch to make arrangements, double check deliveries or stock up on extra supplies to see you through the holidays. I can't tell you how much we both appreciate you for it!

Having two days off at Christmas might not seem like much but it's a rare and healing treat for the four of us.

In January, we'll be click and collect/home delivery only for a couple of weeks while we catch up on seminars, accreditation hours, take our first trip without the girls in five whole years, doctors appointments and all the things that we put to one side this year.

In the meantime, you've got one last chance to stock up before we go!!!

⚠️I'll be at the shop from 10am-2pm on Tuesday ⚠️

After that, we'll post a list of dates we'll be available for home delivery or click & collect.

I understand it's frustrating when small businesses take time off but your support is so sincerely appreciated- and we'll be working on lots of incredibly exciting projects to make the Dog and Hound bigger and better than ever when we get back!

See you on Tuesday everyone!

🚚 NEW YEAR FOOD ORDERS 🚚

Well hello there everyone!

We'll be open tomorrow and Tuesday for anyone who needs to stock up for the new year.

No matter how big or small, all of our food suppliers take some time off to be with their families at this time of year which means pretty much no more incoming deliveries for us until 2025.

There are a few favourites which are currently out of stock including...

🐾 Yak Bars
🐾 Totally Natural
🐾 Giant Pig Ears
🐾 Pigs In Blankets

If there's something you need between now and January, please please please head to the website and place an order. You don't have to collect right away, in fact you can order as far in advance as you'd like! Pre-paying for your order is the best way to guarantee it will be in stock when you need it AND you'll collect loyalty points which you can redeem for discounts on future orders- win win!

*Please note* our next Totally Natural delivery is fully reserved- our next cut off date for orders is the 10th of January for delivery from the 13th.

🦌🎁πŸ₯³HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE πŸ₯³πŸŽπŸ¦Œ

Good morning everyone!!

I'll be heading down to the shop at 9:30am for the last hurrah before Christmas!

A couple of reminders before we get started...

🎁 Any pre-orders that haven't been collected or rescheduled for today will be released at 12noon. If you missed out on Totally Natural then keep an eye on our stories and we'll post if there's any available this afternoon.

🎁 We also won't be taking any reservation requests for today- it's first come first serve and stock is very very limited!

🎁 And wherever you shop today, please be kind and respectful to all the shop owners of the High Street! We have a truly unique and vibrant town centre and we've all made a conscious choice to be away from our families today so a little bit of patience and Christmas spirit goes a long long way πŸ₯³

Afternoon everyone πŸ‘‹

We've been inundated with messages today asking about our Christmas opening hours. You'll find them pinned to the top of our page and on our last post.

Tomorrow, I'll be at the shop from 9:30 as normal until things go quiet. Stock is very very limited after a busy busy weekend so get down early to avoid disappointment!

We'll have Β£10 treat tubs and goodie bags made up for anyone looking for last minute stocking fillers and you've still got time to get your paws on the last of our Christmas toys.

If you have toys, food or treats put aside then please remember to come down to collect as we won't be taking any more delivery requests between now and when we reopen on the 27th.

See you tomorrow!

πŸŽπŸŽ„ CHRISTMAS OPENING HOURSπŸŽ„πŸŽ

Happy Saturday everyone πŸ‘‹

You've got until 4pm today and then 9:30am onwards on Christmas Eve to stock up for the big day.

Don't forget, we're catching up on some much needed time off for the first couple of weeks in January but home delivery and click & collect will still be available.

We'll post more details nearer the time but for now, here's a reminder of our seasonal opening times.

Please like and comment, even if it's just to say hello, to help this info reach all of our customers.

Thank you! ❀️

πŸŽπŸŽ„THANK YOU! πŸŽ„πŸŽ

Folks, I just wanted to take a second to say a sincere and heartfelt thank you for coming to us with your Christmas shopping this year.

We have so many big ideas for 2025- weekly workshops, expanding our community projects, increasing our rescue support- but all of these things take investment, and we couldn't do it without all of our Christmas shoppers!

So thank you all ❀️

Tomorrow is our second last trading day before Christmas (eek!) but there's still time to stock up on stocking fillers for four legged visitors, enrichment chews, and toys to keep your pups happy and content during the festivities.

Oh, and if you've got something set aside but haven't collected yet- please get in touch tomorrow. If we don't hear from you then any items not claimed by the end of the day will be released for sale next week.

See you all tomorrow!

❀️❀️ MEET DOLLY ❀️❀️

If you know us at all you'll probably have already guessed that we've got a soft spot for the wonky dogs, the odd ones out, the anxious ones.

Thanks to your generosity, we've been sending food parcels over to our friends at Saving and Rehoming Strays SCIO for the last couple of weeks, along with some Christmas parcels from us and the girls.

When we saw that little Dolly hadn't had any sponsor offers, we knew we had to make her an honorary member of the Anxious Dogs Club.

We're looking forward to getting updates on her progress and we've sent a hamper of her favourite treats down for her to open on Christmas day.

If you'd like to sponsor a dog this Christmas, reach out to the team at Saving and Rehoming Strays- it's incredibly simple to set up and makes such a difference to the life of a rescue dog

β™₯️β™₯️β™₯️PLEASE SPONSOR ME β™₯️β™₯β™₯

Hello there,

It is Dolly here just been asked to come on and ask if you would please sponsor me as I don’t have any yet.

I am another one of the more nervous dogs here at DC and it has been so good for me to be here and to be able to go at my own pace as the world can be quite a scary please for little dogs like me. We gets to be looked after by Mother Wolf and she is the best and makes sure that we are nice and toastie and warm PLUS have a full tummy everyday.

People always say that black dogs are the dogs that get left behind and I know I am one of the more nervous dogs but please if you can choose me to be your sponsor dog as it really would make my year.

If you would like to sponsor me and learn more about my story then please contact the team on email address is [email protected] or message Aunty Natalie on here.

Lots of Love
Dolly 🐾β™₯️

Tomorrow we'll be unpacking our very last deliveries before the big day!

Most of our other food brands won't be delivering again until the new year so please please please get those pre-orders in and reserve anything you'll need between Christmas and New Year!

There are dozens of new arrivals to check out this weekend, but everything is first come first serve and some sizes have already sold out!

So get yourself down to the shop before it's too late- I'll be at the High Street tomorrow from 10:30am-5pm and 10am-4pm on Saturday.

See you then everyone!!

Evening everyone, we're just winding down for the night- thank you to everyone who's popped in to stock up on Christmas goodies this week.

Sadly, we're going to postpone tomorrow's Anxious Dogs Club. It's the last Friday before Christmas so we're bracing ourselves for a busy one and there's a heck of a lot of orders and deliveries to get through before we open.

We'll get something in the diary for the ADC before Christmas but, in the meantime, why not make the most of your Friday morning with a free coffee down at Trizio Coffee House (who are dog friendly!)

Have a great night and see you all tomorrow for some Christmas shopping chaos! πŸ₯³

Evening everyone, thank you so so much for making today a record breaking day at Dog and Hound HQ!

Alba and I will be up at the unit tomorrow finishing off the awesome projects that Ralphie helped us with over the weekend.

As usual...

βœ… Get your orders in by 9am if you want to collect anything specific tomorrow

βœ… Pop by for a chat, a browse, a play date with Alba, a cuppa or to have a look through our canine behaviour, health and nutrition library.

βœ… Be prepared for a little bit of chaos if you come along before lunch. We've a delivery (hopefully) arriving first thing that we're very very excited about!

Find us...

πŸŽπŸŽ„THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!! πŸŽ„πŸŽ

With just over a week to go until the big day, you'd be forgiven for thinking we'd be winding down for Christmas

BUT

We've still got over 300kg of food deliveries due to arrive this week, dozens of orders to send out and one or two Christmas gifts still waiting to find their new homes!

With so much stock already reserved, and the shop busier than ever, we're asking everyone not to help themselves from the freezers- especially if things are boxed up for collection, marked as reserved or underneath the display baskets. I know it's frustrating but it's not fair to the people who order ahead of time when people raid the boxes and sneak out some of their food.

Instead, come and grab one of us and we'll be happy to guide you through what stock we've got left in your favourite brands.

Alternatively, order in advance via the website and we'll everything ready to collect when you visit

Thank you ❀️

Some of you already know that there's been a lurgy in the Watson - Stephen household for a couple of weeks now and tonight it's looking like I've succumbed as well 🀧

We'll do what we can tomorrow to cover the shop between us and we'll let you know if we can't.

In keeping with an age old Dog and Hound tradition- here's a photo of a silly Alba to make up for any inconvenience caused. Thank you in advance for your patience πŸ™
