Luxury dog bedding of sublime comfort may be at the heart of award-winning, British business Charley Chau but with an adventure-loving, four-legged pack, they are clued up on all the necessary essentials for time away from home with your dog, as well as must-haves for the Spring and Summer months.
 
In addition to their fifteen uniquely styled dog beds and blankets, Charley Chau also offers a gorgeous selection of premium collars and leads offering both safety and style, as well as everyday essentials via their Essential Canine Kit store. So, as we walk the roadmap out of lockdown and start to enjoy the promise and adventure of the longer, lighter and warmer days, Charley Chau has got a dog’s kit covered.

Charley Chau Double Fleece Dog Blankets
The ultimate every day staple, Charley Chau’s Fleece Blankets are fantastic for both car and train journeys, on dog-friendly holidays for placing on beds, chairs and sofas, as well as outside when a dog needs somewhere to rest. As with all Charley Chau products, the Double Fleece is of supreme quality - super-soft, breathable, moisture-wicking for quick drying (handy with wet dogs) and washes beautifully time after time. Constructed with two layers of fleece fabric and finished with a simple, stitched border, they’re not fussy or flash but they are gorgeous and very practical. Available in bright or classic colours, they come in two sizes and are priced from £45.
 
Gorgeous Collars & Leads
After what feels like forever of treading the same path of lockdown life, a dog can celebrate widening their horizons by stepping out in a bright and beautiful collar and lead. Similarly, for pandemic puppies, who have come of age and stopped chewing everything in sight, it's the perfect time to upgrade their apparel! The Classic Leather Dog Collars by Petiquette are simple but very stylish and come in a selection of eye-catching shades including Orange Peel, Vibrant Blue, Daffodil, Ruby and Raspberry Pink, as well as more muted tones. Priced from £30, they are handmade to order in soft and supple Nappa Leather, with matching leads also available. Alternatively, mis-match in another bright colour for a cool contrast look.
 
For dogs who like to walk on the wild side, the Brightside Classic Slim Dog Collar by Holly&Lil is a stylish choice. Designed with a funky hair-on cow-skin in bold, bright colours, backed with a super-soft calf leather, each collar comes supplied with Holly&Lil's signature heart tag and priced from £58. Complete the set with a beautiful handcrafted Brightside Dog Lead.
 
Essential Grooming Products
Due to a high pollen count and more insects, summertime can mean ‘itching’ for many dogs, For All Dog Kind Super Soothing Dog Shampoo, priced £9.99, is fast-acting to help soothe and hydrate itchy skin and coats, thanks to gentle ingredients such as lavender and patchouli.
 
For cheeky canines who love nothing more than rolling in unspeakable things when out on their adventures, Animology Fox Poo Shampoo will come to the rescue. Deep-cleaning, a deodorising formulation and built-in conditioner, use this dog shampoo for removing 'Eau de Fox' and other strong odours in an emergency rather than a regular dog wash product!
 
Lickimat Buddy Treat Mat
For lazy summer days when the temperature is high and energy is low, encourage a dog to get hydrated with this brilliant boredom buster Lickimat. Freezer and dishwasher safe, pour a ready-made dog drink or homemade meat stock (not stock cubes) over the Lickimats and freeze to make an ice treat for the heat. Not only will the dog up their fluid intake, it’s also activity to occupy them and repetitive licking is reported to be calming and soothing for dogs. They come in two sizes, Small and Large, and are priced from £4.

Boredom Busters
Of course not all time spent away from the home will involve the dog ‘coming with’ but after getting used to extended time with their human pack over the last year, a dog may feel a little anxious if they are left alone for a few hours. Help is at hand (or paw) with Charley Chau’s boredom busters. As well as the Lickimat, focus their attention on retrieving their fave goodies with treat dispenser toys including the Kong Flip Dog Treat Dispenser Toy (from £8.99) and Beco Pets Natural Rubber Treat Ball (from £5). Alternatively, the 100% natural Stag Antler Dog Chews (from £4.50) will have a dog chomping against the clock.
