Barkitty on the Move!

Jason, Alfie and I took Barkitty to the road this weekend and went to The Pet Show in Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire. It was so much fun, and we met so many great people, and doggies of course!

It was a great chance to promote the shop, and see how our products are received by new customers. We also saw lots of familiar faces too! It was also a fantastic way to view new products, and get ideas for Autumn/Winter.

We were positioned opposite Hawksmoor Hydrotherapy, and I had to mention what a lovely team of people they are. Jason and I even learnt a bit of animal CPR from them which was very interesting. I didn’t know too much about animal hydrotherapy before, so I didn’t realise the huge benefits from it. I highly recommend the wonderful team of dog lovers there if it’s something you’ve been considering. http://www.hawksmoorhydrotherapy.com/


Thanks to everyone who came to say hello, and if you haven’t already don’t forget to join our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest pages!

This takes the Biscuit!

I’m really excited to unveil a new product category on the website (and in the shop, of course), which is pet charms and I.D. tags!







At Barkitty, we don’t do ‘run of the mill’ and have sourced these quirky handmade charms! They are hand modelled and finished with sterling silver to make them really durable. The quality is excellent, and they are a real head turner!

Thank you so much to my lovely customers who took the time to wish me a happy 30th birthday yesterday, and brought some lovely cards and gifts to me!



I had a fantastic weekend celebrating and am very grateful as always…

Once Bitten...

I was really worried last night when Alfie came running in from the garden with one very swollen eye. We weren’t sure what was happening, so Jason bathed it gently with water, and I called the vet.

From our detailed explanation of his symptoms they thought it sounded like a bite or a sting, and recommended we give him Piriton tablets, which we did. Always seek medical advice before giving your pet any tablets, of course, but it really helped to reduce the swelling and it’s pretty much back to normal this morningl.

I just wanted to write this to make you aware of the increased risks of bites and stings in the summer, and not to panic if the same thing happens to your dog. Stay calm and give your vet a call. Unfortunately there’s nothing you can do to stop it happening, but just be vigilant and look out for insect nests in your garden before your pet finds them!

Delapre Abbey

It was really nice this morning to take Alfie, Bobby and my new nephew, George, for a walk and lunch at Delapre Abbey. It’s a really lovely walk around there, with a wooded section, to lakes, to lots of open ground too. It’s very dog friendly too, with plenty of dogs around.


We sat outside for lunch, and it was really reasonable with lovely service. They even brought out some doggy biscuits with our lunch! I highly recommend it as a place to walk the dog, and/or meet up with other dog owner buddies.
