About

Hello! I’m Julie, the human behind Fur Babies dog accessories & bakery.

Confession: I’m obsessed with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Big, small, scruffy or slobbery. I love them all!

My own fur baby is a 34 kg brindle bobtail boxer called Bosun. You can follow us on Instagram and Twitter where I regularly share photos of our adventures together. He occasionaly features in the blog too!

I started Fur Babies as a way to combine my love of dogs with my need for a creative outlet. I’ve always enjoyed making things and studied graphic design at University but my career took a different turn. After 14 years working for the police I took a U-Turn for myself, deciding to start my own business and finally get a dog of my own!

Because I understand that your pet is a valued family member, all my products are handmade with the care and attention they deserve! Custom orders are always welcome – If there is something I can do for you, just ask!
