Natural and Organic Show Olympia London

Its been a full on week this week as we attended the Natural and Organic show at Olympia which was on Sunday and Monday. Its the biggest organic show in Europe and this is our second year of exibiting. We thought that 4 people working on the stand would be enough, well how wrong were we, next year we will have at least 6 people on the stand at all times as we were mobbed! We are still going through all the contacts now but it looks like over 500 retailers have placed orders already, so we are a bit overwhelmed by the hugely positive responce! Many thanks to all of you that poped by to say hello it was great to meet you all.

Raffy didnt join us at the show this year as she prefers to play in the fields, she loves Tony who she stays with when we are at shows,even though shes an old girl she always takes charge of all Tonys young large dogs! We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend as 12 days work with no rest is a long time!

We are very excited here as we have just linked up with a fantastic ethical dog walking/sitting company. We have just signed all the paperwork so we should be able to give you more details about this very soon.

As a bit of fun we carried out a survey recently to find out what we really think of our 4 legged friends. Here are some of our conclusions that are being sent out today to the press


'OrganiPets has noticed a growing trend in women choosing Fur Kids over children, with the UK spending four times the amount on feeding pets than it does babies.

In 2007 alone the UK spent a staggering £1.7 billion on pet food [1] compared to just £392 million on baby food [2].

The Fur Kid phenomenon has been supported by findings from the latest OrganiPets pet owner survey. It found that 100 per cent of pet owners questioned saw their pet as a member of the family and 75 per cent said they preferred the companionship of a pet. Furthermore, 70 per cent of pet owners said their pets offered them love and fulfilment and 34 per cent admitted to confiding in their pet more often than their partner.

As well as giving you unconditional love and unquestioning devotion, Fur Kids will not be embarrassed to be seen with you when they hit adolescence.'

Over the next few months we will share with you some of our other findings, so keep reading.
