Review: Turquoise Tribal Dog Collar by Boots & Bones

Looking for unique, stylish and handmade collars and leads for your pampered pooch? Well we've found the perfect company for you! The brilliant Boots & Bones!

Turquoise Tribal Dog Collar - snazzy right?
Created by Ellie and Dan, Boots & Bones is a UK based company who design and create unique handcrafted collars, leads and tags. Boots & Bones offer a bespoke made-to-order service for those customers wanting something a little different. While Ellie is chief designer and marketeer who is often found sat behind the sewing machine, Dan is usually found working his magic on the website or drinking tea! The real boss though is Dotty, the beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. What a great team!

So, apparently I have a little obsession with buying Louie collars, but...you can never have too many dog collars can you?! Louie has collars of various colours (mostly from Pets at Home), but nothing as fancy and vibrant as the ones created by the lovely Ellie at Boots & Bones.

Recently, we were sent the Turquoise Tribal Collar to try and review which we were very excited about! This particular collar is a festival inspired piece and is part of the Summer collection at Boots & Bones. As you can see, it's a very eye-catching design and is made from strong polypropylene webbing and unique grosgrain ribbon - looks good and durable too, bonus!

Boots & Bones have various designs ranging from skulls to rainbows and you can even buy leads to match. A design we particularly like is the Sunflower Dog Collar. With all this rain England are having right now, this design is guaranteed to brighten up yours and your pooch's day!

Treat Review: Hand Baked Dog Biscuits by Wellybix

Louie and I stumbled across a brilliant company recently who bake some of the yummiest dog biscuits ever - and we can't wait to share our discovery with you!

Introducing...Wellybix! Based in Teesdale, Wellybix is a fantastic company that produces wonderful handmade biscuits for our canine companions that are jam-packed with natural goodness! The company is run by Alison Dalton and her adorable Jack Russell Welly who is chief taste tester, lucky pup! Alison takes pride in using ingredients that are of 'human grade quality' and even uses herbs from her own garden!

Now which one to try first?!

Recently, Wellybix kindly sent us four flavours of handmade biscuits to try: Carrot, Lamb, Beef and Peanut Butter. Our first thoughts were that we loved the packaging, a simple white paper bag - it reflects the freshness of the products contained and the simplicity of the ingredients used. Wellybix contains no hidden nasties and they smell good enough even for a human to eat - I must admit, I did consider it! On the back of the nicely designed label there is nutritional information and the expiry date, very useful information to have! We particularly like how each delicious flavour has a different colour label - Wellybix gets a big paws up from us regarding their packaging and design!

Mmm smells good enough to eat!

My very own taste tester Louie thoroughly enjoyed his Wellybix dog biscuits and loved every mouthful, particularly the Peanut Butter flavour! Each treat is bone shaped and although they're biscuits they are fairly easy to break in half. Wellybix tick all the boxes for a perfect treat for man's (and woman's) best friend - hand baked dog treats made with no artificial preservatives, colours, flavour enhancers, salt or sugar, and they're delicious (well, that's what Louie told me)!

As well as hand baked dog biscuits, Wellybix also sell a range of bathtime products, blankets and greeting cards too. You can even bake your own treats with their 'Bake-a-Bone' range - there is just so much to like about this company! Head over to their website for more information on Wellybix and the products they sell. We highly recommend giving their dog biscuits in particular a try!
