Managing Director Deborah Burrows said: “ It was so much fun to create a red carpet fashion show for dogs. The new range of Pomppa jackets are a great purchase, especially as we head into the cooler months and the temperatures start to drop. We wanted to show dog owners in a lighthearted and different way how lovely these jackets look with our customers’ pups taking the spotlight. The photos look wonderful and our doggy models couldn’t have posed better if they tried! It was fantastic. We are looking forward to rolling out the imagery on our social media soon and hopefully we will see an increase in Pomppa jacket sales for the autumn/winter season”.
