Our big boy Tyson, loves a celebration and at 14, he’s still enjoying the excitement of it all. He loves carrying cards into the lounge to give to the person - and will try and open any gifts ! This morning he took Ben his card and then delivered mine. The two of them enjoyed the Easter gifts we shared with each other! We wish all our friends and followers a very happy Easter and may you share this time with good people, make fabulous memories and enjoy lovely food ! May your Houndz get spoiled to !

Our best sales hound is turning 14!!! Yep Ty is having a birthday . Don’t worry he’s not retiring from markets anytime soon , he’s still got the fire in the belly to see his many fans, get lots of pats and have his fave market foods- puppacino and sausage in bread !
Since we started this little venture just over 10 years ago we didn’t really know where it would go or how big it would get .
Honestly Hotrod Houndz would not be what it is without Ty, he’s been the face of this venture since day dot!
Happy Birthday to my beautiful boy and chief sales hound !

Yep we have moved to bigger quarters !! You can now find us on the big bakers stand on the bookshop side and you can find us at the counter, as we have a dedicated dog kookie basket right there - perfect reminder to get your furry friends a treat !!!
Our new space has provisions for some coats !! And with the weather getting (somewhat ) cooler we will need to think about keeping our furbabies warm !! There are small and medium on display, please note if there is something you are seeking please DM as I cannot put all coats out . I will rotate the stock around to keep it fresh . So next time you are in yarra Glen, pop past The Vallie for a coffee, browse the handmade goods and pick up some treats for your Houndz!!

The next three days are heatwave conditions here in Victoria. It’s important that your Houndz and other furbabies and pets are kept cool and well hydrated !!
⭐️Do not walk Houndz in the heat
⭐️if the footpath is hot to touch it’s probably to hot for Houndz
⭐️make sure there’s plenty of fresh water available
⭐️if your dogs can’t stay indoors make sure they have access to a cool area and shade
⭐️consider a wading pool for Houndz to splash 💦 in
⭐️put ice cubes in water buckets and bowls
⭐️consider freezing a snack cube - ice cream tub filled with water, veggie snacks and frozen = perfect for licking
⭐️ensure there’s cooling on for animals
⭐️do not take your Houndz for a jog
⭐️DO NOT leave in a hot car

Some of our top tips for keeping Houndz kool during this hot weather! Stay kool!!

The last few days have been pretty tough watching Los Angeles be ravaged by fire 🔥. The outpouring of love and generosity of the communities has certainly been uplifting during this dark time . We want to send love and let all our friends in Los Angeles know that we are thinking of them all 🙏🙏

A huge shout out to everyone who came out and said hi yesterday . The weather just about held out for us !!
We met so many fabulous dog lovers and shared many touching moments. Tyson provided some pats and comfort for the lovely girl who recently lost her dog and gave two disabled ladies their first experience in patting a dog.
Moments like these are what makes markets all the more worthwhile.
Moments like these are priceless and we cherish them .
We’ll be back at Ringwood east in December in time for Christmas so please come say hi 👋 and pick up some awesome gifts for your Houndz !!! 🌈
