Hello.

I am Jane, the proud owner of a small independent pet shop in the beautiful little city of Ripon, North Yorkshire. We are very centrally situated just off the Market square and offer a friendly welcome to all who pass through our door. We encourage our four legged customers to bring their owners and always have water and treats available for the pooches.

I took over the shop in 2011 and although it is very hard work I love my job to bits. With the help of my two lovely assistants, we open 7 days a week throughout the summer.

Please say hello to Archie and Dexter, my two adorable orange roan cocker spaniels.

They come to ‘help’ in the shop most days. ‘Help’ in the eyes of a spaniel, means tidying up the sausages after ‘accidently’ pulling the box off the shelf,  tasting the suet pellets to ensure they are still fresh and nagging customers for pats and treats!

Please follow my blog for lots of entertaining pet related posts, inside information into the world of pet retail, product testing by our own inside testers and lots and lots of lovely photos!
