Toys… Accessories…With A Difference – Tiny Krew
Setting up blog shops is nothing new in Singapore. But when Tiny Krew popped up late last year, it got The Wong Dogs excited. Me and the founders, Charmaine and April go way back in 2010 and it is exciting to see them take this route today.
Currently, they stock toys
and accessories from Jax & Bones, Growler Goods and Ohpopdog! “There are
other brands we plan to introduce to the local market, but all in good time,”
says Charmaine.
With
that, The Wong Dogs were more than glad to rummage through their store – I have
a feeling Cory and Cole already have their mental wish list all drawn up. Well,
here are some items which caught their eyes:
1. CANVAS GROLWR GOODS SAGUARO TIPI
It is
hard to miss the Tipi and can you blame me? Hand-crafted in California, USA, it
is easy to set up and forms into a little den for your canines to hide from the
sun when out for long periods of time.
Even
when posing to get the right shots with Cory and Cole, the boys and I did not feel stuffy –
an important aspect in hot and humid Singapore. Even Jäger wanted his time under the Tipi.
A little research showed that
Growler Goods replaced the use of plastics and used traditional metals, cotton
and wood in their products. Something pet owners who are looking to reduce their carbon footprint
to consider.
2. JAX & BONES TOYS
There
are two types of toys under the Jax & Bones umbrella – Rope and Woolie.
Cory’s picks, the Frog Woolie Squeaky and Platypus Woolie Dog Squeak appeal to
him more due to their soft textures.
Cole
on the other hand went immediately for Louie the Lobster which has been
classified as suitable for heavy chewers. Hand-tied, its frays acts as dental floss
and can be dipped in cold water to soothe teething pups. Louie the Lobster is
also a bestseller at Tiny Krew and with that many ways to utilise this
attractive chew toy, I can see why.
Conscious
furparents will appreciate that these toys have been made of boiled wool, these toys
have been dyed using non-toxic vegetable dyes.
3. JAX & BONES BUSINESS BUDDY
Made
of recycled fabric, the Business Buddy is such a nice change to the typical
plastic poop bag holder. Each item also comes with one roll of bags which are
fragranced to ensure that Buddy’s stink bombs are masked for a couple of hours
before you throw them away.
Before leaving, Tiny Krew insisted I take back a
Navy-coloured Jax & Bones Business Buddy! Yay! Now, not only can their poo
bag holder look stylish, I won’t need to worry about the smell!
Other than just being introduced to their wares, the precious time was
spent catching up with Charmaine and April while Cory and Cory hung out with Jäger who they have not seen in ages. Before we knew it, two hours went past like that!
From
just an online presene a couple of months back, Tiny Krew is now stocked in 11 select Pet Lovers Centre
outlets around Singapore. “We are looking at stocking at other lifestyle shops, pet cafes and other pet stores,” reveals Charmaine. For more

The Wong
Dogs cannot wait to see how Tiny Krew grows! Good luck, ladies!
