Crufts- the aftermath!

Appologies for the dely in updating the blog, the phones havnt stopped since then and we have been overwelmed with your postive responces and orders! However now we are back on top of things and we are keen to let you know about whats been going on!

We sent our first orders to Japan, Norway and Spain this week which we are delighted about and sales in France are doubling week on week!

Very soon we will be able to give you an update on our save British Breeds campaign as well as another campaign we are about to launch with other like minded companies. Keep reading to find out more......

Raffy isnt liking this weather much as its either too cold or too wet for an old lady, however over Easter she took us for a 3 hour walk, not bad when you are 15, I hope Im the same at her age!

Anyway keep your messages coming in its great to hear from you.

Crufts

We are now back in the office after having a full on 4 days at Crufts. It was lovely to chat to you all, we think that we spoke to more than 2000 people, which is fantastic and we sold out of our OrganiPets organic catfood and organic dog treats!

It was great to get home yesterday though as we had really missed Raffy,this is her first day back in the office and as usual she is taking charge of us all, insisting that she is taken out for even more walks than usual!

We had alot of press interest in our campaign to support British dog breeds that are in danger of dying out and we will be able to tell you shortly more about what we are doing to further this cause.

We have also launched our Best Pet competition, the winning dog and cat will be made into the new characters in the Ann Edwards family pet range and the owners will be given all the original artwork. To find out more on how to enter check out our website.

Its going to take us the rest of the week to catch up with all your emails and orders and then we will need to get ready for our next show at Olympia.

We are off to Crufts

We are very excited at OrganiPets as we are about to exibit at our first Crufts. Come and see us in Hall 5 stand 43D. We will be launching our Best Pets competition on Thursday, the winning dog and cat will be made into characters in the international artist Ann Edwards family pet range. The winning owners will get all the original art work, this is a fantastic prize to find out more either come and see us at Crufts or check the website on the 6th March.

The other issue we are raising at Crufts is the plight of British Dog Breeds. Here at OrganiPets we are committed to support a vulnerable native breed breeder or breed rescue. So if you work with British breeds get in touch.

We will be joined at Crufts by world famous dog trainer Claire Guest of Cancer & Bio-detection Dogs with her own vulnerable native breed – Cedar, a Curly-coated Retriever.

The Kennel Club has recently made public a list of native British breeds that are in danger of becoming extinct if their numbers continue to drop. The current fashion for exotic foreign breeds, particularly being owned by celebrities, has meant that traditional British breeds are being ignored. We mustnt let this happen so with your help we hope to raise awareness and get more support for the British breeds.

Anyway we would love to see you at Crufts, the whole team will be there ( plus all our family) so drop by.
