Leading Milton Keynes-based pet accessory company Barking Bags experienced sell-outs on a number of its ranges at Crufts where the company also launched its new point-of-sale material for the trade.

Barking Bags won the Best New Business 2021 at the Pet Industry Federation Awards and was recently offered investment from entrepreneur Sara Davies on the popular Dragons' Den TV show.

With the help of fashion design students who came up with creative ideas for Barking Bags, the company now produces high quality dog walking bags in a range of water resistant, unisex fabrics and also high-end luxury leather. In response to customer demand, it also produces a vegan-friendly range as well. 

Barking Bags’ ingenious designs have mesh pockets for water bottles and soggy toys, a poo bag dispenser, a safe place for keys and mobile and much more. Some models have reflective strips for added safety when walking in the dark and Barking Bags sells police approved panic alarms that can be clipped onto the bags.

The bags come with breathable side pockets with the option of a draw string side pocket – large enough to carry the dog waste once it is bagged up which means no more walking around carrying the unmentionable stuff.

They are great for professional dog walkers, breeders, show dog owners, groomers and ordinary dog owners. They are now available as Original, Luxury Leather and Diddy Bags, a smaller version which can be used as bum bags. 

As part of a major new re-branding exercise, Barking Bags has now introduced some new point-of-sale items including hangers to display the bags on. The new branding was reflected in the style of the stand at Crufts.
