Hi Dog People, Thank you so much for being part of this little corner for dog lovers. We’ve loved seeing your photos, tips and conversations: it’s been such a warm, helpful community. After a lot of thought, we’ve decided to close/put the Dog People community on pause for now. We simply don’t have the time to give the group the attention it deserves, and we’d rather press pause than let it go quiet. We really hope to resurrect the community when we have more time to run it properly. A few practical points: - When: The community will be closed/archived on 28th April 2026. - Content & access: Your posts and conversations will be archived. If you’d like to keep anything, please download or copy it before then. - Re-opening: We plan to reach out to everyone if/when we restart Dog People. If you’d like updates, please leave a comment below or email me so we can make sure you’re on the list. We’re really grateful to every one of you for the warmth and good sense you brought to Dog People. This isn’t goodbye, just a pause. Looking forward to bringing it back when we’re able. With thanks, Esther Nelson (on behalf of the Dog People team)

Now that you’ve met us and our mischievous duo, Molly and Pip, we’d love to hear from you. Dog People will only work if it’s built around what you find most useful and fun.
