🐶 Happy National Dog Day!
We're celebrating by looking back at some of our favourite canine-focused campaigns…
From creating Treataways for Ring - a dog-friendly takeaway menu designed to help pawrents feel more at ease when leaving their dogs at home - to bringing The Gruffalo to life through scent with Guide Dogs UK, we've loved creating experiences that put dogs at the heart of the idea.
Our Car-ming Dog Treats - a playful take on the nostalgic Simpkins travel sweets - were specially formulated to help calm travel anxiety and ease car sickness. Inspired by research showing many owners avoid travelling with their dogs because of travel stress, the treats were designed to make journeys more comfortable for both pups and their humans.
One of our favourite moments? Bringing back Christmas Treataways for Dogs Trust UK foster carers, serving up festive feasts for deserving pups complete with turkey, Yorkshire Paw-ding and even a canine-safe Dogg-egg-nogg.
Here's to more creative ideas that make life a little brighter for our four-legged friends. 🐾❤️
Which project is your favourite?

Lost passports? We can’t help.
Lost teddy? We’ve got you. 🧸✈️
We created a limited run of branded neckerchief with trackers because everyone knows the real VIP on a family holiday is the slightly grubby stuffed toy that’s been everywhere.
In collaboration with easyJet and easyJet holidays teaming up with Life360 to launch free Teddy Trackers for families this summer.
Designed to help families avoid airport meltdowns (the tiny travellers’ ones), these clever little accessories make it much easier to reunite kids with their favourite travel companions if they decide to go on an adventure of their own.
Find them at London Gatwick , Manchester Airport , Edinburgh Airport and Belfast International Airport from 31st July, while stocks last.
Here’s to fewer lost teddies, fewer tears and holidays that stay on track ✌🏻🏖️

Function Never Tasted This Good, our 4 drink finds at Taste Of London In Regents Park 🧃
Last week, we went to the infamous Taste of London for a little outing to see and taste all the delights of F&B, and my gosh, we do live in a city with the best offerings.
It was a feast for all the senses.
It was truly inspiring to see all the grafting people are doing to bring delicious things into our guts.
We could share so many fantastic things we experienced, but thought these drinks deserved a mention as all 4 of them really tapped into the ever-expanding niche so brilliantly, functional drinks. Health doesn’t compromise taste, and taste doesn’t compromise integrity.💚
1. Trash, what a bold name for a beverage! Made from the juicy pulp of the cocoa that is often thrown away. We enjoyed this lovely sour yet refreshing electrolyte bev. Launched the day we tasted it, the public is in for a treat!
2. Deeply, move aside protein, finally. We adored these smoothie-like textured shots. They gave a luxurious taste to what might be considered strange to drink if you just read the label, i.e., chicory root.🌱
3. Living Things, a bold name again, but with such cute branding, one forgets its meaning. A refreshing gut-friendly alternative to those big sugary brands was such a delight; we shall be back for more.🍋🍉
4. PrePear, the perfect name, self-explanatory in its function. We enjoyed the packaging, must squeeze every last drop before your big night out. And wake up fresh! 🍐
We love that consumers are increasingly willing to spend on non-alcoholic drinks that offer a functional benefit.
We made an anti-energy drink back in January as a promotion. Maybe we should bring it to the market?👀
