Our story

It started on the street, with an Italian Greyhound

When Simon, our Italian Greyhound, arrived, we found contradictory advice on every website. Then one day we stopped to talk to other Iggy owners on the street: in five minutes we learned more than in weeks of searching.

“We bought things we never used and went to shops that didn't help us... until we met other Iggy owners on the street.”

Irene and Afonso, founders of barquis
