Coastway have been sponsoring Bark for a number of years now. They bring with them their wonderful team who manage the entries and also the Pedigree Ring which adds a touch of sophistication the proceedings.

At the heart of the Kemp Town community for more than 40 years Coastway continue to offer expert care at affordable prices. Their Freshfield premises have just been extended to offer additional services and therapies: a hydrotherapy suite, laser treatment room, exotics hospital and larger cattery facilities. ‘Being involved with Bark and helping raise funds to protect Queens Park for local residents is a privilege and a pleasure and the Coastway team look forward to another successful event this year’. Find out all about the exciting developments at the Kemptown branch  as well as the extensive range of services they provide for creatures great and small here.

Paul Bott and Co joined the Bark family last year and sponsor Best Child’s Toy Dog which saw a record number of entries.

A family run business in the heart of Kemptown, they offer a very personally and very friendly service, whether buying or selling. Paul, being Kemptown born and bred is an absolute mine of information about the local area. Pop in and say hello. It’s worth it for their sofa alone!
They also happen to be a bit nuts about dogs. In the best possible way of course.

The Paul Bott and Co website is currently having a make-over and will be online very soon. In the meantime, checkout their Facebook page for the latest news and see them on the sofa chatting to Latest TV (from 2014 just after setting up).
