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!  

Use code BLACKDOGDAY15 by midnight on Sunday (4th October 2015) to get a 20% discount off our handmade dog collars, leads or bandanas*! The discount code box is on the final order confirmation screen after you are returned to our website from the PayPal payment page.

* Terms & Conditions:
Discount code applies to online orders only and must be entered into the discount code box at the final stage of the transaction process prior to confirming your order. 20% discount can be applied to our handmade dog collars, leads & bandanas, but does not apply to postage & packing. Discount code can be applied to orders received by us between 11:00 BST Friday 2nd October 2015 and 23:59 BST Sunday 4th October 2015.  The Black Dog Company reserves the right to withdraw this code at any time or to decline any order(s) which we believe to be abusing it.

Here at The Black Dog Company we've been busy making some new collar designs and adding Dog Bandanas to our website, so what better way to celebrate than with a free postage weekend?!  

Simply visit our website and spend £15 or more on dog collars, leads or bandanas before midnight on Monday and add code 15FREEPOSTAGE to the discount box and postage is free*!

*Free postage offer applies to orders of dog collars, leads or bandanas with a total value before any p&p charges of £15 or more; placed on The Black Dog Company website between 09.00 BST Sat 15th August 2015 and 23:59 BST Mon 17th August 2015; and for delivery to UK postal addresses. All orders qualifying for Free Postage under this offer will be posted using the Royal Mail First Class service. We are sorry, but we cannot extend this offer to overseas postage.

We are delighted to announce that we are now able to mail our handmade collars & leads internationally!

As well as the UK, we are already aware of our collars in the USA, Canada, Belgium, Australia & South Africa - hopefully the word will spread further!

We have set up International Postage options for several popular dog-owning countries, but if yours isn't there it doesn't necessarily mean we can't send to you, we may just not have got around to yours yet - please get in touch and we'll get straight back to you with the options!

For some of the more popular countries we are able to offer two choices of postage service - Royal Mail International Standard - a regular airmail service - and Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed - a fully tracked service requiring a signature on delivery.  Again, if you would like this service and it is not showing as an option for your country, please drop us a line and we will let you know if we can add it for you.
