The Story of Our Sheep Street Transformation When we first stepped through the doors of our future shop on Sheep Street, we’ll admit… it took a lot of imagination. Bright pink walls. A tired interior. Old fittings. Worn flooring. And absolutely no sign of the warm, welcoming pet shop and professional grooming salon we had dreamed of creating. But underneath the chaos, we saw potential. And so began 15 days of absolute madness, hard work, late nights, sore backs, endless coffe

From One Table to Taking the Keys: The PNN Shop Saga (AKA “How Hard Can It Be?”) Every big business has a humble beginning… Ours? One table 15 dog treats And a dream (plus a slightly optimistic attitude) Fast forward three years and we’ve got: 200+ products A full large gazebo setup An event trailer (hello Flappy ) A proper website A full rebrand A garage extension And pallets… yes, actual pallets of dog treats At this point, it was clear… We didn’t just need more space… we n

From Family Garage to Treat Empire: The PNN Home Takeover Running a small business from home sounds cute, doesn’t it? You imagine: A tidy little workspace A laptop Maybe a nice cup of tea What you don’t imagine… is your entire house slowly being taken over by dog treats. Welcome to life at Polly’s Natural Nibbles. When “A Bit of Stock” Becomes… ALL the Stock As PNN started growing (and we mean really growing), one small issue crept in… Where on earth do we put everything?! Mo

From Gazebo Chaos to “Flappy” Glory: The PNN Event Upgrade Story If you’ve ever seen us at an event, you’ll know one thing… We don’t just turn up. Oh no. We arrive like a small travelling circus (minus the elephants, plus a lot more dog treats). Whether it’s a cosy church hall fête or a full-blown national dog festival, the PNN team roll in armed with snacks, smiles, and enough gear to build a small village. The Reality of Event Life Behind every “Oh wow, this looks amazing!”

Auntie Fudge The Post That Started With Itchy Ears… and Ended With a Mission Let’s be honest… our journey into natural treats didn’t start as some grand business plan. It started with Fudge… …and a LOT of vet bills. Fudge, our beautiful Springer (and part-time drama queen), seemed to collect medical issues like we collect dog toys, quickly, unexpectedly, and usually at the worst possible time. Torn ligament? Tick. Pyometra? Tick. Allergies that made her itch like she’d roll

Barking Bulletin Part 3: The IKEA Incident (…and Other Questionable Life Choices) Every great story has a turning point. Ours? It starts with a sentence no dog owner ever wants to hear… “MUM!! I FORGOT… I CAN’T GET SPUD OFF LUNA!!” Cue us… standing in the middle of IKEA, holding a flat-pack box we didn’t need, slowly realising we’d made a terrible, terrible mistake. Leaving the kids in charge? Fine. Leaving the dogs in cages? Also fine. Forgetting that one very important deta

Barking Bulletin Part 2: The One Where It All Got… BUSIER Just when we thought life had settled… along came Spud. Now, when we say “a bundle of mischief and joy,” what we actually mean is a four-legged whirlwind with ears, zero sense of personal space, and a talent for chaos that should probably be on TV. Spud wasn’t exactly planned, he just sort of… happened. Like most great (and slightly questionable) life decisions. But here’s the spooky bit… From day one, Spud had Polly e

Polly’s First Barking Bulletin: Where It All Began (and Got Slightly Hairy) Hello and welcome to the very first Barking Bulletin from Polly’s Natural Nibbles, grab a cuppa, a biscuit (one for you, one for the dog… obviously), and settle in. We’re Kerry and Damian, co-founders, dog-obsessed humans, and now proud professional treat tasters (strictly for quality control… honest). This blog marks the start of our shiny new website and rebrand and what better way to kick things of
