Pawsome presents for pets
A wander into town this Christmas won’t just reveal fabulous festive fashion for your furry friends – you’ll also find Advent calendars with doors that open to reveal 24 tasty treats, pawfect presents for cats, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs, and even beauty salons for your little Kim Karda-chien!
Our Live Love Local pet suppliers have some fabulously quirky pet accessories to turn your four-legged friends into festive fashionistas; you’ll have the best dressed pooch in town when he trots off to the park wearing his new elf snood and Christmas bandana.
And with grooming salons offering everything from wash and blow-drys to nail treatments, your dog is sure to win the best turned out prize on Christmas morning. So when you write to Santa this year, don’t leave your pets off the list – they’ve been very good boys and girls, too!
We’ve sniffed out a few of our local favourites to put in your pooches’ stocking this Christmas.
