The Black Dog Bakery is delighted to announce that we have added the Lily's Kitchen range of Pet Food to our website, this includes Wet & Dry Complete Dog Food and Treats, with more to come in 2014.

For a long time our customers have been asking us if we make Dog and Cat Food in addition to treats. Whilst we have thought about it, making pet food on a commercial scale requires a lot more space than our small business has currently; and besides there are a number of great companies already producing some excellent complete foods. One of our favourite's is Lily's Kitchen - we love their principles of only using the finest natural ingredients - their pet foods are borne from the same ethos that originally drove us to bake our own dog treats.

To celebrate this launch one lucky winner will be drawn from all online orders placed this weekend winning a Lily's Kitchen Pack delivered to their door!

The Lily's Kitchen Pack will contain two 400g Tins of dog food, two 150g Trays of dog food, one 800g packet of Breakfast Crunch, two 100g packets of Dog treats for Dogs and courier delivery to a UK postal address.

American Express launched the idea in the US in 2010 and helped introduce it to the UK, working alongside small business organisations, trade bodies and local authorities to raise awareness with TV adverts, regional radio, digital and direct marketing activity.

We are celebrating Small Business Saturday with a Special Offer!  Every online order placed on Saturday 7th December 2013 spending £15 or more (exclusive of P&P) on items from our special Christmas Dog Treats page will receive a special gift bag containing 1 Lily's Kitchen Dog Meal, 1 BecoBags Poo Bag Roll and 1 Kong medium Squeaky Ball worth £3.50 added to your parcel.

We have been having a bit of fun with some of our friends and we thought it would be a great idea to have a Christmas Photo Competition!

It's simple to enter, all you have to do is take a photo of your dog looking festive, they can be sporting a fetching pair of Antlers like these handsome chaps to the left, wearing a full on Santa suit or you can use photoshop to add some festive decoration to a favourite photo of your dog(s), like we have done with the Black Dog below. Please remember we all like a bit of fun, we don't want to see any distressed dogs.

Upload your image via Facebook here and enter your contact details. When your entry has been completed you will be given a link, share this with your friends and for everyone that enters via your link, you will receive an extra vote for each extra entry in the voting stage. Entries close on Thursday 12th December 2013.

Voting will be open from Friday 13th December till Wednesday 18th December 2013, this is when you need to get all of your friends to vote for you! Each person can vote once each day, so you will have to keep reminding them.

The photo with the most votes at the end of the competition is the winner! They will receive a selection of festive dog treats sent to them in time for Christmas.

The small print: You need to have a Facebook Account and 'Like' The Black Dog Bakery's Facebook Page to be able to enter and vote in the competition. You can vote once a day per Facebook Account. Due to the nature of our treats we can only send them to UK postal addresses, Overseas entries will be accepted but you can't win the prize - Sorry. 

Thank you to Linda for the lovely photo of the three handsome dogs and for letting us use it.

The final date to place orders for Christmas delivery will be Tuesday 17th December.  All Christmas shop orders will be baked and despatched on or just before Friday 20th December to ensure maximum freshness for the big day, but if you would prefer your order to be sent earlier, simply let us know and we will get it in the post for you - you can do this via the 'Notes to Seller' field when you place your order, or by sending us an email.

Our online shop will then be closed from Wednesday 18th December 2013 until Sunday 5th January 2014 inclusive.  You will still be able to place orders via the website during this period, but they will not be baked & despatched until we reopen on Monday 6th January 2014!


The Black Dog Bakery - bakers of healthy, wholesome dog treats made with all the care your dog deserves!

We have added two new options to our popular monthly dog treat subscription packs to match some of the requests we have been receiving.  Our subscription packs take the hassle out of remembering to ensure you always have a supply of fresh, tasty & healthy dog treats, by offering a regular monthly delivery via a secure direct-debit payment with no contracts, commitments or minimum number of months.

All of the existing options still remain, but in addition we are delighted to now be able to offer:

The Deluxe Pack - a larger version of the Assorted Pack, the Deluxe Pack is ideal for those with more than one dog who found the Six Pack wasn't quite enough for their hungry hounds.  Also available with a monthly or bi-monthly delivery option, this pack contains four 150g bags from our Biscuit and Muffin range plus three 150g bags of Famous Liver Fudge.

Introductory Special Offer!

We are going on Holiday!

I am very excited to say that I am going on holiday to New Zealand for three weeks. If you have met me at a fair or event you would have noticed that I have an accent, I am originally from New Zealand, I have lived in London for the past 12 years.

It has been five years since I last went home so I am really looking forward to seeing my friends and family, as well as having a holiday. While I am their I will be celebrating a 'special' birthday, so there is lots to look forward to.

Here is me and my Mum last time I visited.

The bad news is that means our online shop will be closing at 10pm on Monday 7th October and will be reopen again on Monday 11th November. During this time you won't be able to order any treats, so if you would like to stock up now would be a great time to visit our shop www.theblackdogbakery.co.uk/shop-online

The Good News is that whilst we are away the online shop is going to have a little make over and we will be adding some new products to the website including new treats, toys and accessories - some of which you may have seen us with at fairs & shows over the summer, but hasn't been available on our website until now.

If you would like to keep in touch with us we will posting our progress and maybe a few holiday photos on Facebook and Twitter

Subscription Packs will not be affected by this and will continue to be despatched as normal.

After a few weekends off during the holiday month of August, we're looking forward to getting back out on the events circuit again over the course of the Bank Holiday weekend!

If you are looking for something to do over the long weekend there are some great events taking place with attractions for all the family - including your canine pals!

On Saturday 24th August 2013 we will be at the West End Flower Show on West End Common in Esher, Surrey.  Whilst the show's origins are based around the village flower show, today it is much more besides and also includes a dog show with both fun & companion classes.  The main show starts at 1.45pm, although entries for the dog show open 12.30pm.

On Sunday 25th August 2013 we will be at the Omni Terrier Derby on Epsom Downs.  The annual Terrier Derby takes place beside the finishing straight of the Epsom Downs Racecourse, home of the famous Epsom Derby.  However for one day a year, instead of the world's top thoroughbred's it is the turn of the Terrier's to race.  A great fun, spectator event, you can also bring your terrier along and enter him/her.  See the Terrier Derby website for more details.  Registration is from 12.30pm with races starting at 1.30pm.

On Bank Holiday Monday 26th August 2013 we will be at the Carshalton Environmental Fair.  A wonderful day out with over 130 stalls offering a wide range of attractions including local crafts, children's activities, a farmer's market, interactive demonstrations, live music & performing arts - as well as the ever popular real ale tent!  There is even a free bus from local areas to get you to Carshalton Park, the home of the fair - see the fair's website for full details. 

Please note as the Environmental Fair is a meat-free event, we are unable to sell any dog treats containing meat at this event.  We will have a special range of delicious meat-free flavours on the day, however if you would like to purchase our Famous Liver Fudge, or any of our other dog treats containing meat we suggest you either visit one of the events above, check our Events page for details of other forthcoming events - or you can of course order online!  But don't let that put you off the fair - it's a fantastic event with some amazing meat-free food for the humans as well as the dogs - and that comes from a confirmed carnivore! ;-)

Well Summer has arrived!

It is going to be hot this weekend, why not make your dog a special cool treat!

All you need is:
A Kong or plastic container to put it all in
Banana
Peanut Butter
Treats or dry dog food

If using a Kong - Use a bit of peanut butter to seal the small opening at the top of the Kong, then layer the ingredients alternating between the wet and dry ingredients, making sure that the last layer is wet to seal the large opening at the bottom of the Kong. If your filling is a bit running it will be a good idea to place the Kong in to a container with the smaller opening at the bottom, just in case there are any leakages.

If using a plastic container - make sure that it's not too big and not your favourite one as it is likely to get destroyed! Layer the ingredients as above, making sure the last layer is wet.

Place the Kong or container in the freezer for 4-6 hours. The longer you leave it in the freezer, the long it will take your dog to eat it.

We have used different ingredient for the different flavours and textures to keep The Black Dog entertained, if you don't have all of the above or dog is not fond of them, we have also tried cheese, low fat unsweetened yogurt, water, carrots or very weak gravy (or low-salt) - basically use whatever you have to hand and your dog enjoys.

Please remember that this is a treat and you must consider what you have put in there and adjust your dogs daily meal allowance to accommodate the extra food. The Kong in the photos will replace The Black Dog's evening meal tonight.  Also remember to make sure that you have plenty free water available and if your dog is not used to eating from Kong's to supervise him/her with it until they are used to it.

We will update the blog post with photos of The Black Dog eating his Kong later.  If you do make your dogs some cool treats this weekend, please share your recipes here and we would love to see photos - you can share them on our Facebook page too! 

Enjoy the weather and have a great & safe weekend with your dogs!

We had a wonderful day at Wimbledon Village Fair on Saturday, where we were joined by special guests Anna Webb of BBC Radio London's The Barking Blondes and Molly, her Miniature Bull Terrier.  

Thousands of people braved the blustery conditions (you could tell Wimbledon Fortnight was about to start!) to venture on to Wimbledon Common and support the Fair which as usual was excellent and offered a huge range of things to see and do.  It was fantastic to see so many regular and previous customers again as well as so many new ones - we hope you all had a wonderful day.

We're very pleased to announce that our Dog of the Month for April is Dot!  After all of the wintry weather & snow we've had to put up with recently it seemed only right to choose a picture of a dog enjoying the snow this month!

Dot is Jack Russell cross and is 9 years old.  She is an ex-resident of Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, but now lives in Surrey.  Her favourite treats are our Chicken & Tarragon biscuits and in her spare time she enjoys playing with her ball, sticks and stealing toys!

So, how does your dog become Dog of the Month?  It's very easy!  Simply, send us a photo of your dog and each month we'll choose our favourite to win this prestigious* award (*prestigious according to some of our previous winners!).
