Some of you may know me, some may not but I’m Jennifer Shephard, proprietor of A Dog’s Life Co. My journey began in Eton in 2018 and moved to my current location in Windsor Royal Shopping in December 2020.
My lease is up for renewal this year and the landlord (who owns Windsor Royal Shopping and Windsor Yards) doesn’t want to renew it because they want to move a franchise in.
I’ve operated in Windsor and Eton since 2018, I’m incredibly grateful to all my loyal customers that have helped me through some enormously difficult trading conditions. It’s been a challenging environment to survive in as an independent business but being replaced by a Greggs or Poundland wasn’t what I imagined to be my demise.
I found it shocking as everything had been going otherwise well in the past five years. I had expressed my interest in renewing my lease and had expected an increase in rent as everything has gone up in the past several years.
It seems like they are not interested in keeping independent businesses in their properties and would rather replace them with soulless and bland high street stores.
I’m going to continue to fight to stay but it’s about more than just me. I know some of you may think my business is ridiculous, stupid, unnecessary, etc but hopefully lots of you agree that having diverse independent businesses is preferable to a sea of cookie cutter franchises and empty units and contributes positively to Windsor.
Whether it’s in support of me or in support of a better high street, please sign this petition.
Petition link in bio - after signing you must verify your email or the signature doesn’t count and any of the donations the site are asking for are for their running costs so do not feel compelled. This isn’t a fundraiser for me - just show your support by signing.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and got to enjoy some sunshine ☀️

Whilst all the kids are on half term, there’s also your fur babies to think of! For the rest of this week, it’s 10% off all natural treats for dogs so come stock up and keep them occupied 🐶

We’ve also restocked on doggy ice cream, including a new flavour - banana & honey. Always a hit with dogs 😋

We’re delighted to see orders coming through our website in the first week since our revamp. You can find us at www.thepetoffice.com 😁

You can always pop in for fittings when it comes to jackets and harnesses, and all your usual favourites will be back in and fully stocked tomorrow 🐶

This is never an easy time of year for independent retailers on the high street, so we would encourage all you wonderful people to love and support your small businesses, and they will love you back! ❤️

We’ve started off the week with a lot of interest in our coats! A reminder you can pop in for fittings. All our dog coats are fleece lined for an extra layer of warmth 🐶

The winter temperatures can sometimes lead to questions about safety. Generally speaking, around -6 degrees is the cut off when it comes to taking your dogs out. However, this can vary based on breed and other factors. Some dogs - such as Indi here - can tolerate extreme cold due to a thick double coat. The temperature is also unimportant to him, he’s more interested in why the ball isn’t being thrown.

04/01/2025

We are back open for business! Here till 3pm today, due to delivery delays we are a little barer than usual but we will be back up to full speed over the coming week 😁

We will also have our limited Christmas stock out for the next week with 25% off all items! Why not pop down for a bargain 🤑

We are also able to add on items till midday on Monday, so should you require anything specific, please get in touch and we can try to help as best possible 🐶
