Our new shop at the Rural Shopping Yard in Castle Ashby, Northampton is officially open! Come along and see us, it’s so dog friendly and welcoming here! Dogs are even allowed in the restaurant with you!

Changing Shops

This week we have been so busy emptying the old shop and getting the new shop open; and we are already loving our new home at the Rural Shopping yard in Castle Ashby. The other shop owners have been incredibly welcoming and helpful, and so supportive of me!




I can’t wait to share some pics of the shop when it’s all ready to go on opening day on Tuesday 10th – but until then here’s a sneaky peak of Alfie posing outside!

Kitty Love

Did you know today is National Hug Your Cat Day? Isn’t that everyday? I had this Gemma Correll illustration outside my shop!



This week ITV showed ‘The Secret Life of Cats’, which was absolutely fascinating, with some wonderful footage. It’s a must-watch for animal lovers, and has made me much more aware of what Jasmine is doing!

Chocolate Patrol

To celebrate the pup’s (I think I’ll call them that when they’re old & grey) birthday on Sunday we took a few of them out for a walk together.

It was so great to see them run around and play together. They get on really well. It truly was the best fun we’ve had in ages.


We went to Grange Park Country Park in Northampton, and I really recommend it for dog walking. It has a bit of everything, and ours felt perfectly safe off lead. With plentiful free parking, it was an ideal place for us to meet.

The ‘parents’ have created a group on Facebook to keep-in-touch and arrange meet-ups like this. It works so well.

I made some birthday pupcakes using the Oggi’s Oven Dog cake baking mix, Ardennes pate and Lily’s Kitchen Rise & Shine treats! Buy the cake mix & Lily's Kitchen here




Thanks to all of the other parents who came along, and happy birthday once again to our chocolate drops :)

Two Much Love

Today is our LAST DAY at Heart of the Shires!!! Come and see us, it will be emotional, but we're full steam ahead for making the new shop at Castle Ashby look fantastic!


It is also Alfie’s birthday today! I can't believe my baby boy is 2... this photo is the first day I met him, and took him home! He has been my best friend and saviour ever since and I just love him so much!

Help Needed!

Would any of my lovely customers in the Northampton area be interested in putting up a 'New Shop Opening' poster (shown in the pic) in their place of work, school, uni, club, pub, gym etc for me??



If so, please email me (lisa@barkitty.co.uk) if you have a printer, or send me your address if you'd like me to post you hard copies...

I’d be so grateful…

Canagan Critique

My lovely friend Kate shared this independent review on Canagan food with me. I talk all the time about the importance of feeding your dog quality food – I can immediately tell if a dog isn’t eating the right food for them. Skin complaints, bad breath, flatulence, tear staining and more. If your dog has any of these symptoms then consider changing to a higher quality, grain free food like Canagan or Lily’s Kitchen.
