Milo is a Mexican hairless standard. Being a hairless dog, he absolutely loves warmth and comfort. Milo loves walking and can walk for miles, but he also loves his bed and blankets. He loves a blanket over him. Even on a warm day he still likes to be covered up. When it’s cold he likes nothing more than being wrapped up in bed. For a hairless dog, you need to be able to find a bed with sides so they can snuggle deep inside and have lots of blankets on top of them. I have tried many beds for Milo and some of them have been very good, but nothing compares to my Ivy and duke Den Bed ..read more

Over the years I’ve bought and used various types of dog beds. Many haven’t lasted, I can’t clean etc. I was so thrilled to find Ivy & Duke and I am absolutely sold on their memory foam beds. My working labs love snuggling up together in the large den bed, which comfortably takes 3 of them. The waterproof material means it is so easy to clean. The travel mats are fantastic in my truck which again for their joints, particularly as they get older and after a hard day’s work. The quality is undeniable, and the style of both beds look lovely in my home. I would recommend to anyone, particula ..read more

Guest Blog by Veterinary Physio Millie Byrne I am a Veterinary Physiotherapist and the Ivy and Duke travel mat is an extremely valued part of my equipment when out and about treating clients. Not only is it extremely easy to carry and pack into the car, the dogs absolutely love it!

After having carried out an assessment all the dogs are very happy to lie down on the travel mat for a treatment and many even fall asleep! The travel mat is extremely co ..read more

Guest blog written by Fleurine Tideman @ www.goboony.co.uk It used to be a given that a holiday meant a call to the pet sitter, but nowadays, we realise that this doesn’t always have to be the case. The only thing better than a holiday is one with your furry friend right there with you! A motorhome is a great way to travel with your pet, as you have the freedom to design a holiday that suits both of you. There are plenty of options for dog-friendly motorhome hire nowadays, so finding your transport and home on wheels won’t be an issue.

The Challenges of British Weather! There’s nothing better than heading outdoors with your dog for some fresh air and some much-needed steps but sometimes the UK Winter weather makes things tricky. Lashings of rain equals one thing when it comes to our four-legged friends… MUD and a lot of it! Which ultimately means you’re dealing with a rather damp smelly dog! Then we’ve all had that moment where our dear dog, caked in mud, jumps in the back of our car and covers everything in muck and sludge. Even if you put down a blanket, you’re going to be spending the next week trying to get the stains o ..read more

Everything from the British materials sourced from local suppliers, to our specialist team of 13 artisan crafters here in Manchester is integral to what makes an Ivy & Duke product so special. Find out how we support local manufacturers and suppliers. As a family-run business, our British heritage is very important to us. When we started Ivy & Duke, we noticed that many of the dog beds on the market were designed and manufactured outside of the UK – often to keep costs low, but at the detriment to quality, comfort and style. So, we set about designing a range that was comfort-led, di ..read more
