Blogger Spotlight: Stephanie Walton, Steph and the Spaniels

Stephanie Walton writes Steph and the Spaniels, which recently ranked in the Top 10 UK Pet Blogs. The dog blog features dog-friendly adventures and travel with Sev (Severus) and Lily. We caught up with Stephanie to talk about the dogs, working with independent brands and dog-friendly adventures.

How would you describe your blog?
Our blog is a lifestyle blog, following our life including our two spaniels, Severus and Lily. We’re all about ‘never leaving the dogs behind’ and that is showcased in the blog.

Why did you start your blog?
It started so long ago, with a very different topic, however over the eight years it’s slowly changed into a lifestyle blog. Having an online diary and somewhere to showcase my photography is a large part of why I blog.

What’s it like having a famous pet?
I’m not so sure they’re famous yet, I’ll let you know if that happens.

How do Sev and Lily cope with the pressure?
Sev and Lily obviously have no pressure, they like to pose because it means getting treats. Getting to explore, adventures in new places and new walks are just fun to them.

What’s your favourite pet product?
We love our Equafleeces.

What’s your favourite post?
Of my own? I don’t think I have one, but I love that. There’s always something new and something different. We love travel posts though and sharing true dog-friendly adventures with our readers.

How do you like to work with PRs?
I think the relationship between brand and blogger is important, as long as PRs know how to work with bloggers. It’s so important that it’s always a professional collaboration.

What one thing should PRs know about you?
That they’d get high quality content, as long as they offer something high quality and dog friendly within our life.

What’s a memorable campaign you’ve worked on?
So many, although we tend to deal with independent brands so ‘campaigns’ aren’t so common. We loved working with Bayer on the Lungworm Campaign as it’s such an important topic and it was great. Also working with Barbour on a few different campaigns and blog posts has no doubt been amazing, and something we’re all very proud of.

What other blogs do you read?
Lots, from dog friendly to lifestyle. I love high quality images and everyday life topics.
