The ‘Eat Out To Help Out’ scheme with up to 50% off your meal is a ticket to get out, support your local dog friendly eateries and socialise your pup. It’s morally mandatory to train your

Dog Stories 2020: Apple the Rescue

We are delighted to feature the story of a clever rescue pup in our Dog Stories series this week. Apple recently found a very special home having been rescued from Foal Farm. This pup only went and wooed humans who, wait for it… make tasty and nutritious human grade food for dogs. David Nolan co-founder of Butternut Box tells us all about becoming a foster pawrent to little Apple. They say nothing can prepare you for becoming a parent. The worry, the stress, the pee everywhere (the child not you… hopefully). Knowing that every little decision you make now could have a huge

Dog Stories 2020: Cooper & Todd, the perfect duo!

Cooper and Todd are two very talented pups who regularly showcase their skills at PAAW House; two very lovely dogs who we hope will be joining us as ambassadors for our PAAW Project, but that’s a story for another day, today we bring you their "dog stories" told by Mandi Hawkins Elgey. Back in 1995 I rescued my first dog Pip the Bichon at the age of 7/8. He had the loveliest temperament and I fell in love with the Bichon breed. Pip had a great life and passed away in 2003, I was heartbroken, he certainly left paw prints on
They call it puppy love?

Dog owners have been the lucky ones through lockdown being supported physically, emotionally and mentally by their four legged friends. But the unprecedented demand for puppies has outstripped Britain’s supply, and inquiries to buy a dog are up 180% on this time
Dog Stories 2020: Sarah’s story

Sarah and Sam are twin collie/spaniels with slightly different hobbies! Sam’s goal in life was to chase each and every seagull in Sussex, barking at the top of his voice. The smile on his face as he ran, weaving up and down the beach, in and out of the sea always seemed to bring the sun out. Sarah was not so fussed with seagulls – she discovered the delights of tennis balls. Being a good Dad (or so I thought at the time) I used to encourage her obsession by carrying a ball in every pocket and constantly giving in

Winston’s works of art

In these unusual times we can all be forgiven for binge watching Netflix whilst eating our body weight in Easter eggs and hot cross buns. I myself have given it a good go (4 hot cross buns and counting). In fact, if it wasn’t for my dog, I probably wouldn’t have made it out the house for my daily ‘exercise allocation.’ The owners of Winston Fergus, a London based sausage dog, however, have been using their quarantine time a little more wisely. Stuck at home and unable to visit museums and take in culture, they, with the help of Winston, have brought the
