Pets & Pods
"Biscuit bed for dogs and cats"
Conceived as an antidote to traditional mass produced produced pet furniture, Pets & Pods are a small independent company breaking the mould and bringing some serious style to you and your pooch.
Finally, a dog bed that is contemporary, comfortable, luxurious AND eco friendly. Biscuit is made using modern engineered materials with interchanging parts, meaning it can be repaired if needed instead of heading to land fill with the majority of the bed built from 'PET "felt which is made from recycled plastic bottles.
The customer service these guys offer is second to none, and the beds are delivered flat packed, which makes them accessible world wide! The assembly was very straightforward and our two claimed their new bed instantly. The bouncy, super soft faux fur cushion is machine washable and also comes in a variety of other colours. We have the orange option and we are chuffed to bits with it. Pops likes to curl up right in the middle, sinking her little sausage body into the plush faux fur, while Puggy likes to perch on the edge, using the zig zag sides, made from eco friendly products as a chin rest. Utter perfection!
If you're after something stylish that is made with love AND a conscience, then Pets and Pods is the one for you!

Hounds & Hers surprise gift box for you and your dog
Its no secret that we LOVE this subscription box. We have received a few Hounds and Hers boxes over the past year and I get very excited every time they arrive at the door.
The Christmas box is perfect and forces you to have a bit of me time, with something special for your pooch too, to keep them entertained while you play with the human goodies. The Christmas box is fab and comes with rose gold sparkly Prosecco, a luxurious facial oil, some yummy truffles and much more!
For the pooches, there is a beautiful festive themed squeaky toy and a tube of turkey Pate which our two find irresistible mashed into their licky mat (another killer product from a previous hounds and hers box.)
You can arrange a monthly subscription box delivered to your door, or as a one off Christmas box as a lovely treat for that special someone and their precious pooch. The contents of each box and they are always unbelievable value for money, leaving you with no excuses this Christmas!
Now go on, treat yourself - and your fur baby!
One off box £27.99
Subscription service £22.99 Monthly

Designer Pet Carrier by Hugo & Otto
Nothing screams pampered pooch quite like a luxury faux fur carrier right? We have the stunning midnight blue version in size small and the other two colours are on our wish list because only one of these babies is simply not enough!
This deep blue beauty doubles up as a dog carrier and a travel bed. Its such a head turner and we cannot believe the number of compliments we received after just one outing with it. Pops has a bad back as a result of IVDD, so a carrier is an absolute essential for her, and Puggy sometimes likes to come along for the ride! Its also very handy to take when eating out or going for a festive drink as they both like to curl up and snooze in their very own little portable safe-space.
Of course it comes with a reinforced base and a fully adjustable safety strap, and the whole thing is made using the finest materials right here in the UK. Recommended for one small dog, but Puggy and Pops squeeze in nicely together and its so sturdy that we will happily let them share.
Premium doggy design, fit for a king and queen. Designed and handmade with love by a company we truly adore!

Inspired by the kind of antique bedding you might see in your bohemian granny’s cottage in the rolling countryside, the Ada Designer Dog Quilt features a genuine Liberty Print on one side and pure cotton chambray on the reverse.
