Today sees the return of Small Business Saturday, a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of Small Businesses.  First established in the US in 2010 by American Express, Small Business Saturday first came to the UK two years ago with huge success.

The campaign is backed by business organisations, trade bodies, local authorities & entrepreneurs and aims to raise awareness of small businesses through activities and promotions, not just on 5th December itself, but also beyond.  This year it will see 5 million UK small businesses come together to showcase their work & achievements.

To celebrate the day, we are offering free postage within the UK on all Collar, Lead and Bandana orders placed on our website on Saturday 5th December 2015 use code SBS2015 - the discount box is at the final stage of the payment process before you confirm your order.

In addition every order placed on Saturday 5th December 2015, regardless of spend, will go into a draw to win back the cost of your order!  One lucky winner will receive a refund of their payment and their order free of charge!

As you may have seen, Thursday this week was Black Dog Day, originally set up by dog rescue charities to help promote black dogs in need of a new home as they were seen as harder to rehome, the day has now become a celebration of dogs of all colours, breeds, shapes & sizes.  

Many of you shared pictures of your dogs with us on our Facebook page and that got us thinking... so to mark the occasion we've decided to have a special offer!
