What’s On | The November 2017 Events Agenda For London Dogs

Ensuring dogs about town are looking well-heeled and groomed to perfection for the festive season, London-bred dog lifestyle company Fetch + Follow and dog-friendly apothecary MALIN+GOETZ, have once again joined forces to host pop up parties for the pups of London.

Hot on the heels of their collaboration for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, the in-store pop up parties celebrate their latest collaboration the Dog’s Holiday Gift Set – a must have goodie box including a Fetch & Follow Collar & Lead in Green Leather and MALIN+GOETZ’s Dog Shampoo featuring the brand’s dog muse Mr Greenberg the Pug, along with mini size human Peppermint Shampoo and Cilantro Hair Conditioner.

Taking place at MALIN+GOETZ’s boutiques in Seven Dials, Covent Garden and Islington’s Upper Street across two nights, hounds and their humans can expect a fun night of pampering, styling and partying.

Keeping the pups happy will be Fetch & Follow’s popular home baked treats (with a festive twist) and one to one personal styling with covetable items from Fetch & Follow’s new Autumn Winer 2017 collection such as the Sherpa Fleece Jacket and Sunshine Yellow Winter Dog Coat. Plus there will be ‘nose to tail’ pampering from The Groomers Spotlight, sprucing dogs up with a nail trim, ear clean, brush and spritz so they’re ready to impress.

Dog lovers will also be spoilt with hand and arm massages using MALIN+GOETZ’s invigorating Peppermint Body Scrub, followed by their nourishing B5 Body Moisturizer for rich hydration – the perfect relief for tired dog walking arms and weathered hands. There will be delicious mulled apple and nibbles for humans too!

Customers will be rewarded for their purchases on the night with a free mini votive candle for spends of £65 or more on MALIN+GOETZ products, and a free Dog neckerchief from Fetch & Follow with every Fetch & Follow purchase over £35.

Leading pet photographer Rachel Oates will also be on hand to take Christmas family portraits with the ‘the dog’ in a pop up studio complete with fun festive props galore.

Try on for size and treat your dog with a smart dog accessory or two for the festive season and beyond from:

–        Neoh & Nobo – who are guaranteed to get lips smacking with their human grade, natural treats including biscuits and Peanut Butter For Dogs.

There will also be Holistic Dog Care from Da Fioretti Herbarium and sneaking in amongst the dogs with cat-like stealth is British cat lifestyle brand Cheshire & Wain, who will be representing the cat contingency, purveying their luxury kitty collars and gifts worthy of the fanciest of felines.

For the dog lover with or without a dog to call their own, there will also be a cool edit of lifestyle gifts celebrating man and woman’s best friend including:

–        Helen Penny – maker of the coolest cushions shaped and illustrated to look just like your pet
