On our radar: Melin Tregwynt dog collars and leads

Melin Tregwynt Welsh wool dog collar, lead and bandanaBUY THEM HERE

We really miss our beloved Fudge who passed away a couple of years ago now. It’s been a struggle to face the loss or think about another dog. He brought us so much happiness though, so despite the pain of losing him, we know that when the time is right, we’ll make space for a new canine companion.

And we’ll, of course, spoil them rotten! In addition to good food, long walks and comfy beds – they’ll have all the right kit – including smart coats, collars and leads. This Melin Tregwynt range caught our eye the other day.

Melin Tregwynt woollen mill dates back to the 18th century, but they’re always looking to innovate and develop their products. Their dog collars and leads and matching bandanas are something new that’s appeared recently. With our H is for Home colour scheme, we were always going to be drawn to the two-tone green version!
