Our story

Two dogs. One family. Every label read.

Paddy as a springer spaniel puppy, lying on a lawn

We're a family in Bosham, on Chichester Harbour, with two dogs and no long history in the shooting field. Paddy, our springer, changed that. We started gundog training to give a busy spaniel a job, and he took to it — all the way to a Distinction on his Advanced Pet Gundog course and a place in the beating line.

Then, at two years old, Paddy developed epilepsy. The first night was the worst: seizure after seizure, ending at the emergency vet at three in the morning. He is well looked after by his vets, and he still lives for a day's work.

"We just think you should be able to read the whole ingredients list in one breath."

That night changed how we shop for him. We started reading every label, and we wanted to know exactly what was in everything he ate. With treats, the simplest answer was the best one: a single ingredient, air-dried, and named on the front of the pack.

We're not vets, and treats are not medicine — we'd never suggest otherwise. We just think you should be able to read the whole ingredients list in one breath.

Coco, our black labrador puppy, arrived in November 2026 and is chief taster in training. Paddy & Coco is the shop we wanted to find: honest chews first, then the leads, dummies and kit we actually use.
