Muddy Paws, Cosy Jumpers & Dogs Who Refuse to Walk in the Rain! 🍂🐾
The ultimate autumn survival guide for dog owners – from Oh My Dog Conwy.
Let’s be honest. Autumn with a dog is a whole different experience.
One minute you’re enjoying a beautiful walk through crunchy golden leaves, and the next you’re standing in the pouring rain, holding a lead attached to a dog who has suddenly decided they don’t do bad weather.
Sound familiar? 😂
Here at Oh My Dog Conwy, we’re officially embracing cosy season. Think warm fleeces, muddy paws, snuggly evenings and enough natural treats to convince even the most stubborn sausage dog that leaving the sofa might actually be worth it.
1. The Great Autumn Walk Debate ☔
Some dogs absolutely LOVE autumn. Muddy puddles? Brilliant. Wet grass? Even better.
Others (we’re looking at you, dachshunds) take one look outside and immediately reverse back under the duvet.
But whatever your dog’s opinion on the weather, autumn walks can still be wonderful with a little preparation.
A cosy fleece or jumper can help keep your dog comfortable as temperatures start to drop, particularly if they’re small, short-haired or feel the cold easily.
And let’s face it, looking ridiculously cute is an added bonus.
2. Muddy Paws Are Part of the Package
If you’re a dog owner, you’ll know that keeping your floors clean between October and March is basically a full-time job.
You can spend an hour cleaning the house, only for your dog to come bounding through the door looking like they’ve just completed an obstacle course in a swamp.
Our advice? Keep a towel by the door, have your dog’s cosy essentials ready and accept that muddy paw prints are now part of your interior design.
3. Be Seen on Those Darker Walks
The evenings might be getting darker, but your dog clearly hasn’t agreed to shorter walks. A Twiggy Tags safety light helps make them easier to spot, while the light-up ball means less time searching for a missing ball in the fading light. Pair with reflective accessories and choose safe, well-lit routes for your autumn adventures.
4. Autumn Adventures Need Snacks!
We’re firm believers that every good dog walk should involve snacks.
Not necessarily for us (although a coffee and cake stop never goes amiss), but definitely for our four-legged companions.
Natural dog treats are brilliant for rewarding good behaviour, practising recall and keeping curious noses occupied.
At Oh My Dog, we love treats that are 100% natural, with no unnecessary nasties.
And for dogs who take their snacking responsibilities particularly seriously, we even have a monthly natural treat subscription box. Because running out of dog treats should never be an option.
5. A Little Autumn Safety Reminder 🍁
Those beautiful autumn walks can come with a few hidden hazards.
Conkers, acorns and some wild mushrooms can be dangerous if eaten by dogs, so keep an eye on curious pups who enjoy picking up absolutely everything they find.
With the evenings getting darker, it’s also worth making sure your dog is easy to see when you’re out walking.
And after those muddy woodland adventures, give their paws and coat a quick check before settling in for the evening.
6. The Best Part of Autumn? Coming Home.
There’s something lovely about getting back from a chilly walk, putting the kettle on and watching your dog curl up in their favourite spot.
Well, your favourite spot.
Which is now their spot.
Along with your blanket, your cushion and approximately 85% of the sofa.
Would we have it any other way? Absolutely not.
A Little Hello From Conwy ❤️
If you haven’t visited us before, Oh My Dog Conwy is our independent dog boutique in the beautiful historic town of Conwy, North Wales.

We’d love to know!
With love and muddy paws,

🐾 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

Rolling into the “Ber” Months 🍂🐾
August has been a brilliant month at Oh My Dog Conwy, thank you to everyone who joined us at our Sausage Dog Social and popped into the shop for a browse and a chat. We love seeing our community of dog lovers grow month by month, and September is already shaping up to be just as exciting.
Our next Dog Social is planned for Saturday 14th September at 10am, RSPB Conwy, and as always, it’ll be a lovely chance to get together for a walk, a raffle in aid of The Red Foundation, and plenty of four-legged fun.
New Season, New Stock 🛍️
With the “ber” months rolling in (September, October, November, December, our cosiest time of year!), we’ve been busy filling the shop with fresh new goodies to get your pups kitted out for autumn:
✨ Coco & Bailey Harnesses – stylish, practical and comfy, perfect for everyday walks.
✨ Drydog Waterproof Raincoats – a must-have for those inevitable Welsh downpours!
✨ Doghouse Fleece Jumpers – super soft and snug, designed to keep dogs of all shapes and sizes warm on crisp autumn days.
✨ Doggy Dryrobes – back in stock, ideal for drying off after wet walks or swims.
Why We Love October 🍁
There’s something extra special about dog walks in October – crunchy leaves, cooler air, and the excuse to wrap up warm. It’s the perfect season to refresh your dog’s wardrobe and make sure they’re cosy, dry and looking fabulous.
Come & See Us in Conwy 🐶
Pop into Oh My Dog Conwy to check out our latest arrivals, try on harnesses, or browse our range of coats and jumpers. We love helping you find the right fit for your four-legged friend – and we’ve got plenty of treats on hand too.
👉 And don’t forget – if you pop into Cantîn Café Conwy, make sure to ask for your receipt because that gives you 10% off in Oh My Dog… and vice versa!
Here’s to a fun September and a cosy October ahead!

🐶Meet the Pack: Our Doggone Delightful Journey Begins!🐶
Hello there, fab fur-loving friends and welcome to the very first edition of the “Oh-My-Dog” blog! I’m absolutely paw-sitive you’re going to love it here. If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind the tail-wagging wonders at [Oh My Dog](http://www.0h-My-Dog.co.uk) Conwy, Conwy’s first Dog Boutique then leash on up and let me take you on a little adventure — no poop bags required!
🐾The Human Behind the Woofs
First things first, I’m Sally, the proud owner, chief treat dispenser, and occasional dog whisperer at Oh My Dog Conwy, your one-stop shop for everything your canine companion never knew they needed but can’t live without. When people ask how I got into the dog boutique biz, the answer is simple: I didn’t choose the dog life; the dog life chose me. Or maybe I just liked the wag of it — who knows?
Some might say I’m barking mad, but I prefer to think of myself as a passionate aficionado of all things canine. After all, what else would prompt a perfectly sane human to jump into the wonderful (and occasionally muddy) world of dog boutique ownership where it’s all cosy dog jumpers, harnesses, leads, treats and beautiful gifts for humans too?
🐕🦺The Real Stars: Meet the Pooches
Now, let’s introduce you to the stars of the show and my constant canine companions, known in our house as “the dogs who live like kings.”
🐾Sir Trumpsalot
Sir Trumpsalot is my first furry friend and, frankly, the reason why my postie no longer rings twice! He’s a spirited lab with a flair for the dramatic and an ear-splitting gift for vocal performance. He’s taught me everything I know about perseverance, loyalty, and the surprising versatility of dog fur as an interior design feature.
🐾Lady Barksalot (AkA Dora or ‘stinkerbelle’)
And then there’s Lady Barksalot, the queen of the couch and a steadfast connoisseur of belly rubs. With her soulful eyes and discerning palate (only the finest kibble for her), Lady Barksalot thinks she's a diva but is more likely to be found snoring mid-photo shoot. Her calming presence is the yin to Sir Trumpsalots yang.
❤️From Passion to Paw-sionate Business
Inspired by my furry friends and their ever-growing collection of chew toys, dog coats, collars and leads I realized that alas, I had no choice but to open a boutique full of goodies fit for royalty. I noticed there was a gap in the market for dog accessories that were stylish, fun, and practical. Thus, Oh My Dog Conwy was born! Our mission? To ensure every pup has its day with dapper accessories, cozy comforts, and, of course, never-ending treats, and there’s always something exciting for humans too, we have a huge collection of dog mugs, breed specific bowl, note books, scarfs and bags.
🐕🦺 What to Expect on This Blog
Here at Oh My Dog, the blog is our playground! You can expect to read about the latest trends in canine couture, DIY tricks for doggy toys, tales from the dog aisle, and maybe even the odd confession of how I once tried one of our dog chocolates (that’s a lie cos it wasn’t just once!). Spoiler alert… dog chocolate can give us humans a bad belly
In conclusion, if you love dogs as much as we do (which seems difficult, but okay), then you’re in the right place. Feel free to sniff around, reach out with any questions, or just say hi. We’re a friendly bunch here!
Until next time, keep those tails wagging and those humans guessing!
Paw-sitively yours,
SallyChief Barketing Officer at Oh My Dog Conwy
