As seen on Channel 4’s “Narrow Escapes”! (Episodes 16-18)
We pride ourselves on our speciality range of Healthy Dog Treats and Eco Friendly Toys. But our range extends way beyond this, to include compostable Poo Bags, Health & Welfare supplies, ID Tags and a whole lot more. Follow the Doggie Boat on Social Media and subscribe to the newsletter to keep up to date! Many of our prices are lower than the Recommended Retail Price.
As Independent Roving Canal Traders, we have a licence to trade on the full extent of the 2,500 miles of Canal & River Trust waterways across England and Wales. We are also members of the Roving Canal Traders Association. All this means that we adhere to strict codes of conduct and high standards. As Continuous Cruisers, we do not have a base as such. Currently we are making our way north from London up the Grand Union Canal. Our exact location can be seen here.
Our online shop is always open. As licenced Roving Canal Traders we also set up the shop along the outside of the boat when we are moored in suitable locations. We can’t fit everything on the outside of the boat, so be sure to check online first to see what you want! Some items are sent direct by the manufacturer. Even if we haven’t set up the shop, you can still collect from us (by prior arrangement) if you place an order online and mark it for local pickup. Or, we will deliver if you are within walking range!

Healthy Dog Treats…
We aboard the Doggie Boat are proud of our ever expanding range of Healthy Dog Treats, from top suppliers including JR Pet Products and Green & Wild’s. We believe that our “Best Friends” deserve the very best. This is why we specialise in chews, treats and bones that contain no added nasties, no artificial colourants, sweeteners or flavours. They are simply pure, many are 100% Air Dried. Air drying cures the product, so healthily free of anything harmful. Air dried bones do not splinter liked cooked ones, so they are perfectly safe.
There are other products that we stock that are not air dried, but equally healthy and safe, such as Yak Milk Chews, biscuits etc.
All of our products are competitively priced, many are below the Recommended Retail Price!
…And More
Complementing the range of healthy dog treats, we also stock a variety of quality dog toys, health and wellbeing items and much more for the 4-legged end of the lead. We also offer a good selection of gifts and essentials for the 2-legged end. Our range is constantly under review, so we will add exciting new products from time to time.
We are proud resellers of Dorwest Herbs, Dickie Bags, ProFleece Vet Bedding and PS Pet Tags.
Online Shop
The Doggie Boat online shop is available 24/7/365.
Most orders are now sent Tracked 48 Royal Mail Parcels. Other couriers can be used if requested (please use the notes field during checkout), although additional charges may be applicable. During the current problems with Royal Mail due to the strike action, we may use an alternative when necessary to try to overcome potential delays.
We strive to despatch the same day if received by 11:00am. Otherwise, they may not go until the next working day. Unfortunately, some local Post Offices have restricted opening hours – and we need time to pick and pack your order. We may also be cruising at the time your order pings in to us, so may not be in a position to dispatch your order!
