Barkney Wick – A Dogs and Humans Community Centre

Care – enrich – nourish – educate – communicate – treat & more

our CAFE / Community space IS NOW OPEN

Our plant based cafe is now open, serving tea & coffee, hot and cold food and offering a calm, friendly space for work, play and relaxation.

Plant Based

Plants are rich sources of many nutrients that are important for good health, including unsaturated fats, vitamins (such as folate), minerals (such as potassium), fibre and protein.

Believe it or not, eating a plant-based diet has been linked to lower risk of obesity and many chronic diseases.

Evening All, We've a LOT going on at Barkney Wick

Evening All,

We've a LOT going on at Barkney Wick this long weekend (in case you haven't noticed).

The cafe is open 10:00 - 16:00 tomorrow, Sunday and Monday and then usual hours from Tuesday (08:00 - 15:00 weekdays, 10:00 - 15:00 weekends). Here's what we have in store for you for the next few days though:

LUCKY DIP - Lush has kindly donated us some ridiculously amazing gift boxes filled with old school bath bombs, lip balms, scrubs, shower gels etc etc and we've put them all together with Barkney Wick goodies for a donation-based Lucky Dip. All you need to do is donate £10, £20 or £30 and pull a ticket out of a tin to find out which prize you've won (you're guaranteed to win a prize that's more than your donation).

EASTER HAMPERS! After the blinding success of our Christmas Hampers we've brought them back for Easter. Filled with Beco goodies (practical too) such as a collapsible food/water bowl and poop bag dispenser plus a Lick&Mix snack pack and a pup chocolate easter egg by Pawty Cakes.

PICNIC LUNCH AND SALAD BOXES - adding to our savoury menu of homemade not-sausage rolls and savoury croissants you can now treat yourself to an I AM NUT OK Artisan cheese sharing box (or not-sharing) with spicy and sweet chutneys and GF beetroot and sweet potato crackers, plus treat your pup to a peanut butter pup picnic box. We are also making two incredible human salads - the 4 hour rocket salad or the seize the (not) cheese salad box.

EASTER SWEET TREATS - alongside our daily Dom's Delights (the Millionaires shortbread being particularly famous) we have pup chocolate eggs (crackable and filled with peanut butter biscuits) and of course Lick&Mix cupcakes and treats. We also have sharing donuts for pups and humans and Easter chocolate nests (because, well, it's Easter).

PLANTS! - from the lovely @thejungleboat 💚 flying off our OSB wall already.

COFFEE - obviously. But just so you know, we sell @darkartscoffee to take home (pods too) not just from our coffee machine.

At Barkney Wick everything we place on our welcome

At Barkney Wick everything we place on our welcome desk, café and zero waste day-care walls are ethically sourced and created by wonderful small businesses or local suppliers.

If you haven’t come along to say hello yet, do pop in and check out all the dog and human products we have carefully curated for our community guests.

Sanitisers

Let’s start with @letssanitise – hand sanitisers packed with moisturising glycerol and soothing aloe vera in a variety of beautiful scents, either in lotion or pocket mist form.

Let’s Sanitise ‘Scents’ is the first range made in the UK available in six different luxe fragrances. Containing 75% ethanol, the product complies with WHO standards, is vegan friendly, and has been clinically proven to kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses.

Our friend Elliot hand delivers all the bottles to us and stocks up our customer sanitise station (so you can try it for free whenever you pop in!)

Shampoo and Conditioner

While we are on the subject of cleanliness, we have to mention the wonderful @wildfordogs – whose shampoo and conditioner we stock at Barkney Wick.

Many commonly used grooming products are potentially harmful to your dog's skin and coat and can lead to severe allergies and skin reactions. @wildfordogs uses only the best natural ingredients in their hypoallergenic products to ensure the best treatment for your pup. Their shampoo and conditioner are organic, 99.5% natural, and 100% free from nasties.

@wildfordogs are also fellow animal lovers and advocates for sustainable living as well as being a small business like us.

Calm Dog Games

Created by the wonderful Chloe and inspired by her spaniel, Cam, @calmdoggames are card led games created to focus on and reinforce positive behaviours. Each game is designed for you to interact with your dog to instil calmness, confidence and responsiveness to you when you are in a distracting environment.

The games are fun for pups as they are play-driven and engage your dog in a positive way, allowing them to learn through fun.

Each pack includes 52 different games and activities with multiple levels of progression.

Snooze Doggy Dogg! Today we wanted to share with

Snooze Doggy Dogg!

Today we wanted to share with you the benefits of clary sage for both humans and our furry companions.

Made by the wonderful, local @mindful_clouds_shop and set in recycled jars collected in the community, these beautiful plant based, pup safe, slow burning (20-70 hours depending on size) clary sage candles have been specifically created to provide a calming atmosphere for you and your little one.

Clary Sage (Salvia Sclaria) is a biennial herb, native to the Mediterranean region. The essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of the buds and leaves and is classified as a medicinal plant, particularly for its calming properties.

If you have an anxious, nervous or hyperactive pup, suffer from anxiety yourself, or simply want a beautiful scent to relax to then sage is your point of call.

We also stock a range of alternative scents, also slow burning and beautifully hand crafted.

Come and take a look - they’re available exclusively in Barkney Wick’s cafe 🙂

Let’s talk about Kennel Cough. It’s that tim

Let’s talk about Kennel Cough.

It’s that time of year when our little ones are afflicted with the terrible Kennel Cough (“KC”). It’s never nice to see our pup girls and boys poorly - and it’s even more distressing when we don’t know what’s going on for them.

Firstly, and importantly, please check out pdsa.org.uk for guidance if you are concerned that your pup has KC.

Just like we as humans come down with cold and flu, and feel awful with it, dogs also pick up their own version of a cough and cold that can make them miserable - decrease their appetite and cause a temperature.

KC is an airway infection that is caused by a number of different germs (viruses and bacteria). For the vast majority of the time kennel cough is mild and passes in a few days, but it can last for a few weeks.

More severe cases can occasionally result in symptoms such as a high temperature or a reduced appetite. If you suspect that your pup has kennel cough then it’s best to keep them away from other dogs. Let them rest and recover.

Most dogs improve on their own, so try not to worry, but if your pup has a constant, hacking cough or a cough that lasts for more than 10 days then they may need treatment from a vet.

As with the flu in humans, KC vaccinations can help against certain strains but they will not prevent pups from picking up all variations of kennel cough.

Here are a few tips from us for poorly pups:

💚 Rest. Let your little one snooze, sloth and have that duvet day that all us humans love.

💚(Gently) Replenish. Mix some plain boiled rice in with your pup’s usual feed. Feed little and often. An ice cube helps to encourage them to drink if they’re not touching their water bowls.

💚Steam. When you take a shower or a bath, bring your little one in to sit in the bathroom steam. It will help to sooth those little airways.

If your pup attends day care please let your day care carers know if they exhibit symptoms. No one wants to be the guy or gal who makes all their pals sick at school..!

Here’s a big hug to all the pups out there with KC from us at Barkney Wick. #GetWellSoon #DogsOfInstagram #PuppiesOfInstagram #KennelCough #DuvetDay #Recover

Meet Cosmo, a rescued Podenco from @hopeforpodenco

Meet Cosmo, a rescued Podenco from @hopeforpodencos in Spain.
🌈
Cosmo @cosmic__pod and his litter mates were found abandoned in a bag near the shelter, thankfully they were taken in and given great care until they reached their new homes.
🐕
Podencos are often referred to as ‘Invisible Dogs’. They are the most abused dogs in Spain. Bred to hunt and kept, usually chained, in filthy and squalid conditions. They are used as ‘working dogs’ and are not protected by Spanish law.
It can be difficult to imagine the suffering they endure, hidden from view. Many dumped and left suffering with untreated injuries.
🐾
Podencos are specialised hunters. They have large, highly-mobile pricked ears, keen eyesight and an acute sense of smell. All have been purpose bred for speed and agility, with endless endurance. They are incredibly agile and have been known to climb trees in pursuit of prey and are super vigilant and in tune with their surroundings.
🏜️
They are smart, curious and real goofs (just what we like!) They are super active fun dogs who generally like the company of other dogs and also enjoy a good sunbathe!
Podencos are very loyal companions and will unconditionally show you love, affection and will relax once they have had a good level of stimulation in nature. They are wonderful and adaptable dogs to new situations and have even thrived as therapy dogs.
Podencos make wonderful family members, but do be mindful that any potential adopters should be prepared to take care of a pretty active, yet loving dog. Check out @hopeforpodencos and their fantastic work helping dogs in need. All over the world rescues are in need of support more than ever right now. Show them some love!
✨
We are honoured to share space with Cosmo and really appreciate seeing more rescue dogs join the gang at BW.

Introducing our #Welcome desk at Barkney Wick, where we will welcome you to the centre, show off our wonderful pup and hooman products and weigh your #ZeroWaste Lick&Mix.

Our welcome desk was created from a coffee counter kindly donated to us by the wonderful @victoriayumcake before she left her kitchen in #HackneyWick to set up shop in pastures new. We are so grateful to @victoriayumcake for donating us her counter, which was made for her many years ago.

The front sides of the welcome desk are covered in the incredible @smileplastics to match our café counters.

Hello evfury one! Today is #BlueMonday and althoug

Hello evfury one! Today is #BlueMonday and although we love our Mondays over here at Barkney Wick there are always times when us hoomans and our furry companions have a down day; experience stress; feel fatigue or anxiety or just can’t quite put their finger on what’s wrong.

This past year has been a difficult period for all pup carers and their little ones. Having to adjust to a new routine and being around their hoomans much more than usual can lead to separation anxiety in pups. It can also cause stress and disruption to us as hoomans having to juggle “home schooling” while working from home, feeling poorly or worrying and caring for other loved ones.

Pup pawrents have a huge responsibility to their furry kids, and this can be incredibly overwhelming, even in “normal” times. We want you to know that it is OK to feel stressed, down or anxious about your little one. We all have times when we feel like we are not doing a good enough job raising our furry friend(s). #ItsOKtonotbeOK and to talk about the not-so-good times as well as the good times. We are here to support you and listen, in a safe space, with zero judgment given – just advice and care.

When restrictions permit, we will be holding a “suppawt” group at Barkney Wick for pawrents to come and share all the ups and downs of the challenges of pup-parenting (free/donation only). Watch this space for pupdates for when #Suppawt goes live.
