Friday, September 23rd, 2011Photography day for the new LoveMyDog A/W collections
Wednesday, September 14th, 2011High stress at the studio – it’s the shoot for the new A/W11 collections. Don’t get snappy (geddit!) – it’s only a few photos. What do you mean, it’s so much more than a few photos. Love Rabbit
Top trend-spotters visit the LoveMyDog studio
Tuesday, September 6th, 2011My new best friend: Heloisa, Editor of Interiors/Homebuildlife from WGSN came to visit the studio and gave me a big hug. WGSN is the world’s biggest online trend-analysis and research service for the fashion industry. Apparently canine couture like ours is ultra-hip, and they came to see how we stay cutting edge. Heloisa – I’m in love. Yours forever, Rabbit.
Winston’s Visit To The LoveMyDog Studio!
Thursday, September 1st, 2011
Winston came in to the LoveMyDog studio
Winston the gorgeous black pug came in to the LoveMyDog studio and left with the Hoxton Tartan Harris Tweed Pet carrier. Winston has problems with his back legs and cant walk for long so he was snug as a bug in the carrier. He’d never been in a pet carrier before and just settled in straight away. Rabbit had a play with him and was very sad when he left! We love this picture that his owner sent us.
The Hoxton Tartan Harris Tweed Pet Carrier is available online from 16th September.
The perfect place to pop it…
Monday, July 25th, 2011We’re talking about poop of course! For our lucky owners who have the glamorous job of scooping after we’ve done our pooping, Lilly’s now come up with a handy way to carry those little bags. No more pockets full of plastic – your owner can just grab our Designer Poo Poo Bag, or even keep it tied onto your lead.
Scooping should be every owner’s No 1 priority when you’re out for walkies (or should that be a No2 priority, heh-heh). Plus, starting today it’s also POOP SCOOP WEEK: 25th -31st July 2011
Run by the Dog’s Trust in partnership with local authorities, Love My Dog is donating £1 from the sale of every poo-poo bag to this worthwhile initiative.
This hand-finished Natural Cotton drawstring bag has the Love My Dog logo on the outside and comes with matching purple biodegradable pooper scooper bags in side. Order now from our online store and help make the world a cleaner place.

Cats and Dogs show at Unit 24
Monday, July 11th, 2011Cats and Dogs is a show that juxtaposes different ways of looking at art objects and their subjects.
Relationships between people are very complicated. Many of us discover that pets make not only great companions but can also make substitutes for human relationships. They are also a great inspiration for artists. Art lovers and pet lovers are invited to examine these differences along with VIPS (very important pets).
This July, Unit 24 invited a group of international artists who simply believe that pets are fascinating to take part in their Cats and Dogs exhibition.
Unit 24 is both a hyper-modern, completely minimalist space, just three minutes from the great Tate, and a functional dry cleaning business. You can go there to collect your spotless cleaning but in fact this is an art gallery of deliciously ironic and serious intent.
Unit 24 hopes the show will entertain and create a good pet friendly atmosphere and provide a look at art from different levels. A sense of humor and some critical skills are highly recommended.
Love My Dog’s Creative Director Lilly Shahravesh attended the private view on the 6th July with the Love My Dog studio muse, Rabbit. A Love My Dog blanket and lead worth £110 was given to the most handsome dog of the night. It was a tough choice but Monty, a Battersea Rescue dog with a great smile pictured below, was the happy ‘canine couture’ winner.
If you fancy visiting the Unit 24 cats and Dogs show with your own VIP, it is running until the 29th July.
Participating Artists: Peggy Atherton, Roelof Bakker, Kevin Berlin, Eli Chojak-Mysko, Helen Gougeon, Michal Torzecki, Kevin Wayne
Unit 24 Gallery
20 Great Guildford St

Introducing the Thornby Collection
Wednesday, July 6th, 2011We know you love your dog. We also know that many of you love tweed. So we imagine that our new Thornby collection will be quite a hit. Especially when it’s woven in Scotland with yarn spun from the wool of the Cheviot sheeps.
The brand new Thornby collection from Love My Dog not only looks fantastic. It is also both Teflon coated and stain resistant (this traditional tweed is backed with soft washable suede). It’s available to purchase now and you can accessorize your pooch with the matching dog lead, blanket, bed and the Thornby designer dog coat which is also available in this tweed cloth.
The entire Thornby Collection can be viewed in our online shop.

Four Legged Fashion: We’re raising cash for animal rescue
Monday, June 13th, 2011Love My Dog was recently on the catwalk in Dallas, Texas. Enterprising dog owner, Terri Tomlinson, and her mixed-breed rescue pup Frank, organised the third annual Canine Couture event to raise money for abandoned pups.
Frank sported our new ‘Elwin’ quilted tattersall coat and our signature Deerstalker hat, bringing a touch of British country style to the proceedings. The event raised lots of money and we’re delighted that Love My Dog could be part of it. In fact, www.fourleggedfashion.org has now raised over $12000 over the last two years. We’re always happy to help charity events for dogs, so do get in touch if you’re raising funds for a worthy doggy cause.
