A new season demands a new collar, and this dreamy feather masterpiece from Free People has flown right to the top of our wish list. Ticking the box for the Boho catwalk trend, it’s the perfect shade of Autumnal tan to suit all fur tones.

BOOM! Something pretty BIG has happened in modern doggy world, so big in fact, it's dragged us out of our blogging coma. Think four-legged fashion, think ASOS for dogs! Yes, canine cool kids, LEADTHEWALK.COM has landed and from what we've sniffed out so far, on-trend, sometimes luxe, mostly fabulous pet styles are now available at the click of a paw.

What do you make to Basil’s new neckwear? Sharp isn't it? This slither of sophistication comes courtesy of canine couturists Baker & Bray, who offer our kind of rover retail experience. In fact, we knew we were going to get along famously when we first spotted their brand mascots – a Boston Terrier duo called Milo and Rocco.

The world of luxury fashion has gone to the dogs and as a result we’re running around, cocking our leg up in excitement. Shoe god Jimmy Choo has gifted us mere mortals (and mutts) with Choo Hound. There’s doggy-themed Choo-i-ness for you, and Choo (not chew) for your fashion hound. 

Just like a box of chocolates, we’ve gone all soft-centred about Valentines (and Basil of course), which is why our latest dog gift guide is packed full of cutesy hearts, pink and all things pretty. There’s treats to tickle their tastebuds, toys, fancy pet wear and more.

Our star buy both on price and pressies is PetsPyjamas Valentine’s Dog Treat Box, priced £24.99, containing a rawhide Valentine Lollipup, biscuits, a sweet love hearts bandana, Dog Pérignon Champagne toy, tennis ball, and pet travel bowl. You can even get the box personalised with your dog’s name and their very own photo-stamp. 

Show your dog some love this Valentine’s Day with our recommended gift buys ...

With a bleak bank balance until payday and an outside view of grey drizzle, the January blues were definitely wafting through the air at Barkarama HQ today – not to mention a few of Basil’s sneaky farts. But a quick hop over to Rokabone’s website to peruse their gorgeously bright doggy styles and our mood has pinged back to happy.

We’ve finally got our Christmas hat on so now that we’re feeling festive, we share the first of four gift guides for you and your furry ones. Kicking things off is our Christmas gift guide for your dog, with everything from tasty stocking fillers, to gifts for £25/£50/£100 or less, to luxe buys. Dig in!

Between winter lurgy, a crazy work schedule and a full diary, we’ve been in a blogging black hole. However, we’ve been pulled out of our writer’s block abyss by news of a stupendously exciting collaboration between Mulberry and one of our fave luxury pet outfitters Mungo & Maud, for a capsule collection of dog collars and leads. There is a ‘but’ though – poor Basil is beside himself that his invite to the Claridge’s canine modelling party got lost in the post, and that shock, horror, they had another Boston Terrier stand in!
