🎣 What a brilliant day for junior fishing! 🎣

Yesterday’s Cinque Ports Junior Angling Competition looked to be a fantastic success, with around 30 juniors taking part and every one of them receiving a prize.

We were really pleased to donate some prizes from Best Buddies Pet & Fishing Supplies, alongside donations from the local club and others in the community. Hopefully the juniors enjoyed them, and more importantly, had a great day by the water.

It’s brilliant to see young anglers getting involved, learning, competing and enjoying the sport. A big well done to everyone who took part, and a huge thank you to the organisers and everyone who helped make it happen.

And to top the weekend off nicely… a big win for the England fans last night too! 🏆⚽

Here’s to more weekends like that! 🎣

☀️ Keeping pets cool in this heat ☀️

This heatwave can be really tough on our pets, so it’s worth taking a few simple steps to help keep them comfortable:

🐾 Walk dogs early morning or later in the evening
🐾 Keep plenty of fresh water available
🐾 Make sure they have shade and somewhere cool to rest
🐾 Never leave pets in cars, conservatories or hot rooms
🐾 Watch out for hot pavements on paws

We have a selection of **cooling mats and cooling coats** available in store to help keep dogs cooler and more comfortable during the hot weather.

Pop in and have a look — we’re in **Cheriton, between Tesco and Horn Street bridge**.

🐾🎣 **A huge thank you to all our lovely customers — old and new!**

We had a **record-breaking bank holiday weekend**, and we’re honestly so grateful to everyone who popped in, stocked up, told people about us, shared our posts, or supported us since the move.

Moving to Cheriton felt like a big step at the time, but weekends like this really remind us what a great decision it was. It’s been brilliant seeing so many familiar faces from Hythe, along with lots of new customers finding us too.

Whether you came in for fishing tackle, fresh bait, pet supplies, natural dog treats, live reptile food or just to have a look around — thank you. Your support really does mean a lot.
