🐾 A Little Catch Up from Oh My Dog Conwy! It’s been a busy old few weeks here at Oh My Dog Conwy, and honestly, we’ve barely had time to sit down with a cuppa! Between pop-up events, new stock, and all things festive flying in, there’s loads to update you on — so here’s a little round up of what we’ve been up to lately. 🎃 Pumpkin Festival at Bodnant Welsh Food We took the Oh My Dog pop-up shop to Bodnant Welsh Food’s Annual Pumpkin Festival last and it was just brilliant! Such a lovely atmosphere, loads of families, and so many dogs (and yes plenty of sausage dogs stealing the show as always 🐾). It was great to meet lots of new faces, chat about our products, and show off some of the things that have been going viral online lately especially our funny dog lead sleeves! 🐶 The Lead Sleeves That Just Won’t Stop Going Viral Speaking of those sleeves… they’ve been flying out faster than we can make them! We’ve shipped hundreds all over the UK (and even a few to the US and Canada). We did a Halloween range which was great fun and now we’re onto the Christmas ones, which I have to say might be my favourite yet. Think cheeky slogans, festive colours and perfect gifts for dog owners who love a laugh. 🧣 Festive Dog Jumpers Incoming! I’ve also been working on some very funny Christmas dog jumpers that are due to arrive at the end of November. These aren’t your average cute Christmas jumpers — they’re a bit cheeky, a bit close to the bone, and guaranteed to get your pooch noticed. We’ll be doing a few collabs with some social media pups too, so keep your eyes peeled for that (and if your dog’s got a bit of personality — message me, we might need them on the team!). 🦴 Sausage Dog Socials & Big 2025 Plans Our Sausage Dog Socials are still going strong and growing every month. I love seeing all your dachshunds together  it really does feel like one big family now. Our Halloweenie Party is happening at The Pet Place Abergele this month, and it’s free to come along  just comment your dog’s name to book! And the BIG news… I’m working on a full Sausage Dog Festival for 2025 here in North Wales! It’s early days but it’s going to be amazing  think stalls, entertainment, food, and hundreds of sausage dogs all in one place. I can’t wait to share more soon. 🛍️ What’s New In Store Back at the shop, we’ve had loads of lovely new stock in recently: 🐾 Hetty & Huxley handmade dog snoods…perfect for the colder months  🐾 Sausage dog print vet bedding  super soft and perfect for winter 🐾 A big restock of coats, jumpers and accessories for all breeds and sizes If you’re local, pop in for a nosey  or if you’re not nearby, everything’s online too  ❤️ A Big Thank You Finally, just a massive THANK YOU for all your support. Whether you’ve ordered online, popped into the shop, or come along to one of our events it really does mean the world. I can’t believe how much Oh My Dog has grown over the last year. Here’s to a busy, fun, and festive season ahead  full of muddy walks, wagging tails, and dogs in ridiculous Christmas jumpers 🎄🐶 Love Sally & The Oh My Dog Team x
