After a rather messy couple of years, it maybe a decade- minor details. I decided to have my first child in the form of a puppy miniature schnauzer, who I named Babu. I’ve got a wealth of experience from having two dogs in a previous relationship (three if you actually include the boyfriend), including puppy training- so surely this time round will be a walk in the park.
One of my besties comes to visit the pup on the second day of me having her. It’s Wednesday, 5.30pm, and I open the door puffy eyed, hair a la scare, still in my pyjamas clutching the pup newborn style, on the verge of tears.
She is constant. I’m on my feet all the time, I’m sick of the word NO, and like a true parent I sleep only when she sleeps. But every morning when I collect her from her crate and plonk her in my bed for an hours cuddle it all fades away and I am in immortal love.
In preparation for her arrival, I scoured the internet for some gorgeous finds and wanted to share with you the most, in my opinion, stylish bits n bobs out there, right now, for your dog.
note
Loving the autumnal feel of this collar made by Bone and Rag. The brass element looks great too.
They also have various colour options if the Autumn look doesn’t quite suit your pooch. Available via Notonthehighstreet.com. £40.00.
note
Something different for walkies with these gorgeous rope leads. They’re available in various colours and add a splash of the always in trend nautical look. Made by Blinkthings available at Etsy. £19.80
note
A beautifully brightly colour blocked collar that has a Paul Smith-esque feel to it with the shades used on this collar. Go all out and get the matching lead that’s available too. From Puchipetwear. £15.75 (collar).
note
Adorable. This cute feeding bowl is also available in black and white from Purplebone, £19.99.
note
Treat your super-star to this lovely little dog tag. Don’t forget it is illegal to have your dog in public without a tag and your details/number. This is also available in brass. Mungo and Maud offer this stylish piece for £16.80. Also available in Brass.
note
Not your usual plastic or ropey toy from Mungo and Maud. This lovely little bunny has a contemporary almost japanese look to it. This is definitely being part of my pups toy collection. Another winner from Mungo and Maud. £22.00.
note
Love, love, love this bed. Smokey, cool, contemporary with a bright base, and looks uber comfy. Charliebegood make this bed along with many others of equal cool designs. Available at Etsy. £27.22
note
This eco-friendly feeding bowl will look great in any kitchen. They come in assorted pastel shades and are an absolute steal from £3, Pets At Home. Let your dog do his bit for the environment too!
note
The Stylish Dog Company have a whole Autumnal range including feeding bowls but I find their treat jars particularly lovely. £45.00.
note
Great block colours for pure wool blankets from Charley Chau in 6 different shades. Almost every of these colours would look great against my minky/grey Schnauzer. Prices start from £30 for a medium and up to £45 for a large.
note
This is a bowl I would be happy to eat from! Ware of the Dog ooze uber doggy deliciousness. I am in love with this shop. Bowls from 50USD
note
OH…MY…GOD. A drop in the ocean for Ware of the Dog’s amazing cashmere, high-fashion looks available for your dog. The colours remind me of something Moschino and they have incredible electric / neon waterproofs, and range of leads/harnesses too. Divine. (Cashmere Sweater 90USD)
note
For your little sailor boy (or girl!). Waggo also provide other nautical themed toys with floating buoys and rope toys. The anchor toy can be yours for 14USD.
note
And finally for all these new toys / clothes / leads that you’ll no doubt be buying for your pup/dog over the years. Why not keep them in one of Waggo’s stylish toy bins. They come in a range of patterns and shades. They’ve clearly carefully selected neutral pastels and calm colours as to be able to blend in with your home décor. 38USD.
