For Dog Lovers arrive at CRATE St James Street!

For Dog Lovers has been an online business for almost four years, and they have just opened their first ever in-person shop at CRATE St James Street.

"We're very excited to have our first physical space", says founder and owner Lyuba. "We live in the area, quite close by – and for a long time we were passing by and thinking we should try it! It’s become my little pink dream store – when we were given the keys we were able to do what we wanted with it. We were able to get everything sorted and get set up very quickly.

The business was started during the pandemic. I’d had the idea for a while but I wouldn’t have been brave enough to chase it if I had still been doing my stable job. I was also pregnant at the time – I call the business our baby as well. Our dog, our baby and the business were all born around the same time."

For Dog Lovers sells walking accessories, clothing, toys, grooming products, treats, and doggy ice cream.

"It's such a dog friendly area and community," says Lyuba. "It's nice to have something to treat our four-legged customers!"

Lola, Lyuba's five year old pup whose face is seen on the business' logo, is over the moon to be able to meet customers in person and to be fussed over by other CRATE businesses - so keep an eye out for her when you visit.
