Hair Of The Dog London – Houndstanding!

Hair Of The Dog London – Houndstanding!

Hair Of The Dog is a new concept lifestyle

boutique for dogs and cats, in the heart of Highgate village, London."My aim at Hair Of The Dog London is to source a well-designed stylish
range for our four legged friends from around the globe" said Sophie "with
particular emphasis on handmade, natural, recycled and organic products.

"I opened the shop in December 2010 and now also have a successful
online business through which we are able to reach customers throughout the
UK and around the world!

"I recognised a gap in
the market for quality products, finding it very difficult to find gorgeous
things for Mr Echo my schnauzer that also complemented my home and personal
style. After a trip to Berlin, where I discovered an amazing dog boutique quite
different to anything I'd seen before, I
was convinced the idea would work here and six months later Hair Of The Dog
London was born.

"North London was the perfect location as the locals appreciate good
quality products and are a very dog-loving community!

"My background was in
styling and buying and I have always had a creative eye. Hair of the Dog merged all my loves together! I am continually
searching the globe for unique stock, which is what makes Hair Of The Dog London stand out from its competitors.

"We stock many brands
exclusively, including the gorgeous Vurv
Design Studio hand-crafted wooden double feeders from Canada made from
maple cherry and walnut.

"Renowned sculptor and designer Matthew Wurr (alias my dad!) has created
gorgeous toy tidy units, which are handmade to order from original wine
boxes. Each box is lovingly sanded and finished with satin lacquer for
durability and then fitted with hand knotted soft touch rope handles.

"Hair Of The Dog London was the first in the UK to import the Planet
Dog 100 % bamboo ball throwers, the best performing, best-constructed dog ball
toss we've ever tested and engineered with sustainable bamboo and reused cork
scraps.

"We also exclusively
stock Handmade for Hounds whose
coats are all lovingly hand crafted, each a unique one-off piece, allowing your
pet to stand out from the crowd."

Regular grooming of your pet is an important part of their
wellbeing whether they are long haired or short. Hair Of The Dog London even have this covered with groomers
situated at the rear of the store.

"It is the owner's responsibility to make sure their dog is regularly
and properly groomed to maintain the dog's coat condition. This will keep
your pet shiny, healthy and free from fleas and tangles" said Sophie. "Routine
grooming controls shedding and it is during a professional groom at Hair Of The Dog London that we also
check a dog's nails, ears and eyes.

"We do everything possible to ensure the grooming experience is a happy
and relaxing one. The spa itself is state of the art equipped and we make
sure we maintain a relaxed and calming environment so that our customers leave
with their tails wagging and want to come back!

"Our groomers are hugely experienced and able to offer a complete
range of services.

"Since opening the support and feedback from customers has been
outstanding, we are grateful for their ideas and offer regular impromptu
gatherings of dogs and their owners in the garden courtyard.

"One of our popular
events was a Lily's Organic Kitchen dog
food tasting where we set up a dog restaurant in our courtyard, on their
own little dog height table. We support
a local charity All Dogs Matter and are actively involved in helping them
all we can. We plan to host and take part in many more similar events, as
being an active part of our community is very important to us."
