Wow, another fun filled month comes to an end and what a month it was. Packed full of product launches, promotions and, of course, everything Halloween, October has been a whirlwind. So, what have we been up to?
Turmeric and Flaxseed Powder
We kicked off our month with a brand-new product launch. The Turmeric and Flaxseed Powder has been in the works for some time, and we were so excited to share it with you guys. Packed full of nutrients, the supplement powder aids the joints, the skin and coat, heart health, flexibility, and wellbeing of your dog. It’s easy to administer and comes in powder form so that you can easily spread it on top of your dog’s normal food, it comes with a spoon inside and a feeding guide on the back. The launch of our 100% natural Flaxseed and Turmeric Powder coincided with Pet Wellness Month which was the perfect time to remind our customers of the array of supplements we have at Bugalugs to help keep pets fit and healthy.
Pet Wellness and Dental Hygiene Month
With a wide variety of supplements to choose from, Pet Wellness month was the perfect time to remind our fantastic customers about the choices they have when it comes to keeping their pet’s health in tip top shape. From Salmon Oil to Deer Antler Powder and everything in between, we have an extensive range of supplements to keep pets feeling their best all year around. Our all-natural supplement powders were extremely popular this month, especially the Calming Powder which is perfect for keeping dogs calm around seasonal festivities like Halloween and Bonfire Night.
Not only was October Pet Wellness Month but it was also Dental Hygiene Month and with 70% of cats and 80% of dogs experiencing some sort of dental disease by the age of 3, we believe it is extremely important to start looking after your pet’s dental health from an early age. Poor dental hygiene can lead to painful infections, tooth loss, and difficulty eating. Beyond the mouth, bacteria from dental disease can enter the bloodstream and potentially cause serious issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular brushing and use of dental care products can help prevent these problems occurring and save you costly vet bills as your pet gets older. To help keep your pet’s oral hygiene in good shape, we offer an array of ‘brushing’ and ‘no brushing’ needed products to cater to even the fussiest of pets. Our best-sellers of the month were our Plaque Remover and our Dental Care Solution. These products are perfect for removing plaque and tartar and are ideal for fussier pets as they do not require any brushing.
Launching our Bath Brushes
Our Bugalugs Bath Brushes were launched mid-October and have already been a hit! Available in both pink and black the bath brushes have been flying off the shelves. Our bath brushes have soft, gentle bristles that help to remove dirt and loose fur from the coat, whilst offering pets an enjoyable massage during bath time. Suitable for cats and dogs of all breed types, the Bugalugs Bath Brush is perfect to use alongside our shampoos to give your pet a truly luxurious pamper. The Bath Brushes are also available as part of a bundle and have gained the name ‘hand flip flop’ by our BugaBuds (TikTok Live Fans) on TikTok. Grab yours online today and see what all the fuss is about!
You asked and we delivered the Zingy Cologne
We launched our Zingy shampoo at the end of September, and we’ve been inundated with requests for a spray in the matching scent. It wouldn’t be right to launch a new scent without an accompanying cologne, so we got to work and released the matching Zingy Cologne in October. The grapefruit and orange scent eliminates odours quickly and leaves pets smelling irresistible. Infused with Aloe Vera and Pro-Vitamin B5 which helps to soothe the skin and condition the coat, as well as Lemon, Lime & Bergamot. Our vegan, pH balanced formula is fast acting and leaves pet’s smelling great in between washes. It is suitable for puppies over 8 weeks old as is made using a safe and trusted formula that has been formulated in the UK’s Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can now grab our Zingy duo online or you can grab the Zingy Bundle which also includes a bath brush.
An 8-Hour TikTok Live for a Happy Halloween!
For Halloween, we treated our TikTok followers with an 8-hour live. The live was shared between myself (Chelsea), Daz, Katie and Dan. It included pumpkin carving, mummy making, face painting, apple bobbing, flash deals, discounts, and of course, what everyone tuned in for… The ORDER DANCE. Much to my dismay, the team peer pressured me into partaking in the order dances and by the end I couldn’t stop. We had such a great time and the live exceeded our expectations, so much so, that our manager, Ami, has agreed to another 8-hour live on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so make sure you join us for those!
To get us into the spirit the team came to work dressed up for the occasion. I came as Chucky, Katie was a cat, Daz was a scarecrow, and Dan was carried in by an alien – this meant he had 4 legs which became hazardous during the order dance when his stray legs started knocking bottles of cologne off our very neatly organised shelves. By the end of the day, we were shattered, but we had such a fangtastic time with you all. Some best-sellers on our Halloween live were the Pumpkin Latte Duo, Salmon Oil and our Itchy Skin Spray. And before you ask, the order dance will only be happening on special occasions! Katie, on the other hand, will be available to perform Monday to Friday 8.30am - 4.30pm without reservation or care in the World.
Thank you so much for a wonderful October, we cannot wait to catch up with you in November. With Black Friday and Christmas around the corner, it’s going to be another busy month. Keep your eyes peeled for more exciting news tonight and as we progress through November. Have a great month everyone, we’ll see you for our next Monthly Round-up.
