New Newport business has vision of keeping dogs healthy
A Newport dog lover is bouncing back from the challenges of the pandemic after finding a permanent base for his business.
Nigel Paskin originally ran the Dogs Health Shop as an online business, occasionally attending events, but has now become the latest arrival at Newport Indoor Market.
"The pandemic affected me a lot as events and shows were cancelled throughout lockdown but I was determined that it wouldn't ruin me and it hasn't."
"This is a massive achievement for me. I like dogs more than I like people so this is the perfect business.
"I fancied taking on Bricks and Mortar project, if you like, where people can find me regularly because not everyone likes to shop on the internet or events. I'm thrilled to become a stallholder at market."
The Dogs Health Shop provides treats with benefits, including joint care, digestion, skin and coat care, as well as health supplements.
Newport Indoor Market recently expanded to open its doors on a Tuesday for the first time in its history as part of a trial until Christmas. The new day will compliment its traditional Friday and Saturday openings.
