With entertaining and ‘human’ socialising curtailed this could be a blessing for many dogs. It’s not just the puppies bought in Lockdown, having had limited socialisation opportunities, facing possible festive fears. © @paaw_barry Studies concur that 40% of all dogs are displaying increased anxiety through increased barking, nervousness and separation issues. The puppy boom lockdown pups will

Despite an uncertain economic climate ahead and social distancing restrictions dampening the festive spirit, the UK’s biggest pet retailer has recently announced a 5 per cent increase in revenues to October this year, and a 14.5% rise in pre-tax profits

Hello Burlings I’ve got some exciting news to share. I love sharing snippets of my life with you on social media, and I love working with Vinnie, Barry, Bibi, and Digby at PAAW House. We’ve created a little project to combine both. I was curled up on the sofa this weekend watching my friend Lilly Collins in Emily in Paris, AGAIN, and WOOF, it just came to me. Inspired by Emily, I would like to introduce you to 'Burly in London'! © @netflixuk What exactly is ‘Burly in London’ I hear you bark? I love discovering new places, adore going for long walks

Paws up who has watched the movie ‘The secret life of pets’? We love it, we’re secretly convinced that Vinnie would be chief party planner if he had the chance! We were very excited when we recently got in touch with the team at Vertus, Canary Wharf Groups residential arm, about their new pet friendly development, 8 Water Street. Have they inadvertently created East London’s ‘Secret Life of Pets’ HQ we ask ourselves? Vinnie spent much of his life living in East London, until he was driven out by a group of neighbours. During his court hearing, Sir Geoffrey Vos, Chancellor

Glorious autumn is perfect for walking the dog, but it’s a sign that Halloween is on the horizon and the two-month onslaught of fireworks. Diwali, New Year’s Eve, and The Chinese New Year annually also make this season bang out of order for Britain’s pets. Worryingly the RSPCA revealed that

With National Black Dog Day on the horizon, I’m shocked that darker coated dogs generally stay in rescue 70 per cent longer than fairer colours. One common reason they’re snubbed is for not being photogenic. Perhaps I am bucking trends but all my dogs of 19

PAAW House is proud to sponsor this year’s Haute Dogs charity calendar in aid of our friends at The Wild at Heart Foundation. The calendar aims to raise in excess of £10,000 for the animal welfare charity who have rehomed over 1500 rescue dogs from overseas to happy homes in the UK. They have also sterilised over 25,000 dogs worldwide, preventing millions of unwanted puppies being born into a life of cruelty or hardship. Wild at Heart Foundation believe in dog and continue to work to end the suffering of stray dogs worldwide, and we wholeheartedly support everything they do. The

This news has got tongues wagging in the UK, not least in highlighting that we could go further with our own animal welfare legislation. The proposed ‘Dog Law’ also aims to cut down on Puppy farms by banning breeders from looking

The team at PAAW House do love a run. Bibi and Barry’s human Dads get up at ridiculous o’clock every morning to run for the hills, and I’ve cheered my Dad on from the sidelines for many a marathon over the years, he just runs to work these days! We have much admiration for Brian and his 31 day marathon of marathons, in aid of StreetVet. Good luck Brian from all at PAAW House and Happy Birthday for 31st August, we hope you get lots of donations to celebrate. Big Woofs, Vinnie x Former Petplan Vet of the Year Brian Faulkner
