What do you buy the Dog who has everything? The Dog who has a basket full of toys but only ever plays with three of them, the Dog who doesn’t care what day of the year it is as long as you are there to give him a cuddle, take him for a walk and tell him he’s a good boy? All he needs and wants is love and attention which he gets in abundance, so when we sat him down a couple of years ago and explained “no more presents” for any of us, we will be donating to

What makes Barry, Bibi, Pablo and Vinnie literally shake with anticipation and excitement? Why ByBenji Biltong of course. We asked Roz (Founder of ByBenji) to divulge some of her secrets about the best treats in town.  “When it comes to a high value dog treat, brands will strive to create something that little bit different! Well, they would say that wouldn’t they? Yet, when a dog treat is seen to change a dog’s life and help support canine contentment, then it’s worth taking another look...or sniff! The now legendary irresistible reaction that is spreading through the dog treat world is from ByBenji Biltong...but what is all the

PetsNet aims to create a powerful online community driven resource. A place to chat, meet other members, share information and offer advice and tips on everything pet related.  On a personal level the idea is based on the fact that such a resource would have been invaluable to me personally over the years but in particular when going through some very challenging times dealing with negative pet policies and blanket bans on pets.   We at PAAW House are not going to take all the credit for this idea, we were inspired by MumsNet. We can personally resonate with Justine Roberts story of how MumsNet came

Elvis & Kresse is another brand held in the highest esteem by the team here at PAAW, we love everything about them. While technically not a pet brand, although they do make beautiful collars, leads and tags to order, Vinnie has heard through the dog-vine from Monty the office dog over there that he is hoping for more doggie products in the future so paws crossed! Why do we love them? Well mostly because they have been saving London’s decommissioned fire hose from landfill and turning into fabulous lifestyle products since 2005 all the while donating 50% of their profits

At PAAW House our team are always on the lookout for products and services that help protect our environment, and that's why we love Fetch IT. Poop bags, as we all know are essential on daily walks, so we were delighted to hear about Coco and Kiki who have designed the perfect compostable bags for daily trips out. Poop bags made from corn  starch, which give us the ideal opportunity to pass on plastic and support a new local business. It's wins all round. Clean it up and over to you Coco: My name is Coco, and I'm the co-founder of

A guy needs to look good, which is why Vinnie and his four-legged friends regularly visit Stuart at Groom Dog City. Vinnie is convinced Stuart is the reason he gets mistaken for a younger pup, and gets all the lady dog glances when he’s out and about. Stuart has an amazing passion when it comes to grooming, hence the reason he co-founded The Groomers Spotlight. We caught up with him to find out a little more about his mission to ensure every dog stays safe and this is what he had to tell us: “Pet grooming is an incredibly skilled profession. Razor sharp scissors and a

A recent study* has found that canine colleagues can help improve wellbeing in the workplace. It found a massive 81% of Brits believe that dog-friendly companies are happier places to work.  At PAAW HQ we already know how amazing it is to have dogs at work. Vinnie, our 5-kilo bundle of excitement, is always here to be a distraction when we need one. He’s the little guy that makes us take breaks so we don’t end up sitting at our desk for hours on end. He loves nothing more than causing chaos when the rest of his doggy pals are in the office. Its properly chaotic when Pablo,

Being a big dog in a little dog’s body has its benefits according to Vinnie and his other short buddy’s, they look ageless! Even when they are seventy-five in dog years (that’s ten to you and me) everyone looks at them and sees a cute puppy. As someone who regularly spends time with Vinnie, I have seen first-hand that this misunderstanding can sometimes cause confusion when we meet children out and about, they come bounding up to the “cute puppy” looking for cuddles, we get that some dogs are hard to resist. However, this can be frightening for Vinnie and his friends and they may not react as you
