We’re starting to think our customers might have the most photogenic dogs around. 📸🐾

Over the past few days we've had the pleasure of meeting so many beautiful personalities through our doors.

Thank you for sharing your companions with us — here's a little collection of some of the wonderful faces we've met recently. ❤️

🐾 What an incredible first two days in Nelson! 🐾

We're absolutely blown away by the warm welcome we've received from the Nelson community. From familiar faces to brand-new customers, it's been wonderful meeting so many people (and their beautiful dogs!) since opening our doors yesterday.

Here are just a few of the faces that have made our first two days so memorable. ❤️

We've also been humbled by the amazing feedback we've received:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"HUGE congratulations to this amazing shop! Looking for a place full of genuinely healthy goodness? Look no further! I popped in today to stock up on some healthy treats for the pack, and I am officially obsessed.

The vibe is beautiful, the customer service is incredibly warm and positive, and they have the best coffee for humans and amazing treats for wagging tails!

It's a solid 5 stars from me! Go check them out!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"What a hidden gem full of healthy flavours — and it's officially open!

I dropped by today on a solo mission to get some healthy goods for my team, but next time, the dogs are 100% coming with me! It's a beautiful, welcoming space where you can actually sit down and spend time with your dog.

Top-notch coffee for owners, delicious treats for the pups, and the loveliest, most positive service.

5 stars from me! Highly recommend checking them out!"

Thank you to everyone who has visited, supported us, shared our posts, and helped make our opening so special. We can't wait to welcome many more of you (and your dogs) through the doors.

Meet ‘Avalon’ ❤️❤️

This gorgeous 9 yr old Bernese Mountain Dog, stopped by our Nelson store opening today and was more than happy to pose for a few photos with our Nelson Store Manager, Elle.

One of the best parts of opening our Nelson store has been meeting so many local pet owners and their amazing companions. Thank you to everyone who has called in today, we are overwhelmed with the incredible support we have received and we’re looking forward to meeting many more of you over the coming weeks. 🌟❤️

I’m so proud to share that our new Nelson store is now ready to open and looking absolutely incredible! It’s been an exciting journey watching the vision turn into reality.

Full credit must go to my beautiful wife Kim, who single-handedly designed the entire shop fit out. She has once again knocked it out of the park — the end result has exceeded all expectations!

A huge thank you to our fantastic Nelson Store Manager Elle, who has done an outstanding job organising contractors, managing deliveries, and handling everything on site. We couldn’t have done it without her.

We also want to sincerely thank these amazing local Nelson companies and people who helped bring Kim’s vision to life. They were a dream to work with, delivered exceptional quality, and made the whole process smooth and enjoyable:
Eugen - Viking Furniture & Joinery Ltd

Phil - Nelson Bays Electrical

Mark - Painting Elements

Dean- The Flooring Room Nelson

Arko - Cutting Edge Signs & Graphics

Richard - IMB Construction Limited

Of course all of this is only possible due to the huge efforts of our
amazing team at the factory making our products with such care and our Ohoka, Islington and delivery teams doing such a wonderful job building our customer base.

And now we also have a fantastic new Nelson team on board and we’re confident Nelson pet owners are going to love shopping with us.

Thank you everyone for your hard work and support — this store is a true team effort!

Come and say hello, meet the team, and check out the new store. We can’t wait to see you!

Tilly came in to see us today… 🐾

We came across her puppy photo from February and couldn’t believe the difference.

From an adorable little pup to this beautiful young girl, growing up so quickly.
