Posh Paws pet shop celebrates 10th anniversary
Posh Paws pet shop in Harrogate is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its opening.
Brother and sister Ben and Michaela opened the shop in April 2012, offering a unique personal shopping service for its customers.
The shop sells products for cats, dogs and other small pets, specialising in enrichment toys and natural treats as well as offering health and wellbeing advice for pet owners.
When asked how she was feeling about the shop’s 10th anniversary, co-owner Michaela said:
“I am excited and shocked, especially after working through Covid.
“I would just like to say thank you to all of our customers, past and present, who have supported us.”
To celebrate the 10-year milestone, Posh Paws sponsored the jubilee dog shows held over the bank holiday weekend. The winners of the competition were awarded with vouchers for the shop.

Women's networking event
Business Ladies around Harrogate (BLAH) is hosting a networking event on June 10th exclusively for women.
The event will focus on social media advertising and will be held at restaurant William & Victoria in Harrogate.
Guest speaker Rachel Hatfield from Shoo Social Media, will run the one hour workshop followed by an informal networking lunch.
BLAH aims to create an inclusive and friendly environment for business women in the Harrogate district that differs from traditional networking events.
The organisation offers monthly events on a number of different topics, including sales, marketing strategy and personal development.
Event manager, Fiona MacPherson said:
“When I set up my own business 13 years ago, I found attending networking events daunting, especially the larger networking groups which were very prescriptive.
“BLAH was a refreshing group of female business owners, who wanted to share their experiences and provide support / collaborate with each other.”
BLAH became a non-profit organisation in 2012 and is now run by volunteers, with the aim of organising low cost and accessible workshops.
