Dog friendly photo studio https://www.instagram.com/cocodeardiary/ I HAVE to tell you about this super fun thing we did over the weekend. We took family photos at YOU self-portrait studio and yes, Coco came too! https://www.instagram.com/cocodeardiary/ It’s such a cool experience. There’s no photographer, just you, a big mirror, and a little clicker in your hand to take the photos whenever you want. It’s like having your own mini photo studio, but way less awkward and way more fun! https://www.instagram.com/cocodeardiary/ So How Does It Work? Basically, you pick either a black or white background (we chose white for a clean look), and all the photos are taken in black and white . If you want coloured ones, you can add that to your package. But even just the B&W ones looked so artsy and professional! And guess how many photos we took… over 1,000! 😱 No joke, we were clicking away the entire session and just having so much fun! I honestly didn’t want it to end. https://www.instagram.com/cocodeardiary/ Coco Was a Star (Of Course) Coco was SO good! She posed like a little model. Some of the photos came out so cute I almost cried. This is definitely something we’ll treasure forever . My Tips If You’re Planning to Go Alright, if you’re thinking of booking this with your family or pup, here’s what I’d recommend: 🧥 Plan your outfits — Matching outfits make everything look extra cute. I went a bit overboard and loved it! 🎀 Bring accessories/props — They have some at the studio (chairs, stools, etc), but I brought my own too because I had a Hello Kitty theme in mind… yes, I packed a whole luggage. No shame 😂 📸 Think of poses — It helps to have a few pose ideas ready so you can just jump in and start snapping. Will I Go Again? YES, 100%. It was such a fun family activity, and now we’ve got beautiful memories with Coco. I’m already thinking about going back for Coco’s birthday or maybe a themed shoot next time (Christmas, anyone?). Anyway, just wanted to share this with you all... highly recommend if you want a chill, fun photoshoot with your pup (and you don’t have to be camera shy because YOU control the shots). https://www.instagram.com/cocodeardiary/ Need to know: You Self-portrait studio Second floor, 28a Lower Marsh, London SE1 7RG 15 minute sessions £35 40 minute sessions £75 Extra time £30 per 20 minutes Colour shots £15 Pets £10 DOG PHOTOGRAPHY LONDON SELF-PORTRAIT STUDIO LONDON

Pizza and Paws at Franco Manca – Dog-Friendly Visit https://www.instagram.com/rambo_french_bulldog_/ I first visited Franco Manca years ago in London, long before I became a dog mum and started choosing places based on whether Rambo could come too. So, I was delighted to discover a few months ago that they’ve now become dog friendly! https://www.instagram.com/rambo_french_bulldog_/ Now living in Manchester, I decided it was time to see if the pizza was still as good as I remembered. We headed to their King Street location with Rambo in tow. They have a designated area if you have a dog, located towards the back of the restaurant, which worked perfectly for us. The staff were absolutely lovely and so welcoming to Rambo, offering him a bowl of water right away and giving him plenty of attention. https://www.instagram.com/rambo_french_bulldog_/ I ordered my usual go-to: the classic margherita pizza. I'm such a dips girl, and their garlic dip and chilli oil made the perfect additions. I’m happy to report that the pizza was just as delicious as I remembered. Rambo was on his best behaviour, had lots of space to stretch out, and (he says importantly) can confirm that the cheese passed his taste test with flying colours!

Hektor's stay at this Hampshire countryside inn @hekkigram The Jack Russell is a beautiful and super dog friendly hotel nestled in the Hampshire countryside.  @hekkigram We stayed in the Bulldog Room - a large double room with ensuite, which has double doors opening onto airs own patio with its own enclosed garden. @hekkigram It has views of the countryside around you and it’s so quiet you can enjoy the birds singing! You’ll find a dog bowl, blanket, treat and map of suggested walking routes in the room too. @hekkigram The courtyard to access the rooms is called ‘The Dog House’ and is a large, pretty space which has a fire pit and seating for cosy summer evenings.  @hekkigram The inn itself is super dog friendly too. As soon as you walk in you’ll find the many Doggy Guestbook to sign, alongside a Polaroid camera for you to snap a pic of your pup alongside a message. @hekkigram There are plenty of treats available too.  The food and drink were absolutely exquisite and the friendly staff went above and beyond to make recommendations and make sure both Hektor and I were comfortable. I particularly loved the paw print on my cappuccino! We loved that at meal times, everyone was spaced out well so that the dogs get their own space too.  I couldn’t recommend The Jack Russell more, it was the perfect dog friendly countryside stay!  The Jack Russell Netherton Hill, Andover SP11 0DS DOG FRIENDLY HOTEL DOG FRIENDLY INN DOG FRIENDLY HAMPSHIRE DOG FRIENDLY ANDOVER

Review of healthy drink for dogs Long-time friends, Rory and Archie, founded PAWD DRINKS out of a shared experience; their much-loved family dogs, Scrumpy and Pickle. Unwilling to rely on costly and extensive pill plans, they created an easy-to-use health supplement to improve the health of dogs. PAWD DRINKS embodies their commitment to ensuring more healthy, happy years for dogs and their owners. Nacho's mission for 2025 is to sniff out the best products to help him stay fit and healthy. Nacho tried all 3 Pawd Drinks; Joints because he needs to keep those little legs in prime squirrel chasing condition, Calming because being an influencer can be stressful and Wellness because he doesn't get any sick pay from his employer! All the drinks are simply purified water with the added minerals and vitamins needed to support their cause so no tastes that dogs won't like - just really healthy water. I love the goodness that are included in these pawd drinks shots. As Breeze is typically a very bouncy breed, we were on the lookout for something that can help her joints as she gets older. It's fantastic! And it takes the worries away from us as owners too! Breeze & Elli Pawd's commitment to well-being extends to every ingredient choice and the drinks are the first pH-neutral products on the market. This formulation promotes digestive health, kidney function and a robust immune system. Find out more on their website where you can receive 25% off your first trial box. Join them in making a difference in the lives of our furry friends. Their mission is to ensure owners can enjoy many more healthy and happy years with their best friend.

Baxter's cosy dog-friendly stay at The Coat & Bear in Newbury @baxter.beagle.2021 Baxter and I recently stayed at The Coat & Bear in Newbury — a warm and welcoming dog-friendly inn that’s part of the lovely Heartwood Inns collection. This charming spot is right in the centre of town, with everything just a short walk away — from the canal to the local shops, it’s the perfect base for a relaxed and dog-friendly escape. @baxter.beagle.2021 From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. Our room was tucked just off the courtyard, making it easy for quick pop-outs with Baxter, and had a lovely balance of stylish and cosy. Waiting for us in our room were some thoughtful surprises. @baxter.beagle.2021 Baxter had his very own dog bed, plus a gift from Digby Dogs which included some tasty biscuits and a bottle of posh-smelling shampoo. He made it very clear that the shampoo was for muddy emergencies only – we were on holiday, not heading to the spa! @baxter.beagle.2021 I was treated to some sweet treats too – the perfect welcome after the drive and just the thing to enjoy with a cuppa while Baxter explored every inch of the room. @baxter.beagle.2021 After a bit of a rest, we headed into the pub for dinner. There are several dog-friendly spots to sit, and the team made us feel really welcome as soon as we arrived. The pub even has a proper dog menu from Sir Woofchesters, so of course Baxter got treated to the fish and chips bowl and a bark brew beer to wash it all down. He took it very seriously and left not a single crumb behind. @baxter.beagle.2021 The human menu was just as tempting – so many delicious options that I asked the team for their recommendations, and oh my… I was not disappointed! Every bite was full of flavour, and it was the perfect way to round off a relaxed and cosy evening. @baxter.beagle.2021 The next morning we explored Newbury, taking a gentle stroll along the canal and through the town. @baxter.beagle.2021 Along the way, we even spotted a statue of Paddington Bear! Baxter tried to sneak a bite of his marmalade sandwich, but I caught him just in time! It was the perfect way to start the day — relaxed, scenic, and full of sniffs for Baxter. @baxter.beagle.2021 The Coat & Bear felt like a real home away from home — thoughtful, dog-friendly, and full of small touches that made our one-night stay feel extra special. The Coat & Bear 28 Bartholomew Street Newbury Berks RG14 5EU Need to know There is a strict ‘paws on floors’ policy across the property. 2 dogs maximum per room, with an additional charge of £20 per stay (not per night or per dog).
