JR Recommends

Here at The Jack Russell HQ we have found some paw-fect companies that have amazing products for our four legged counterparts. We care about the environment, support natural food, eco friendly products and UK based business. But most of all we want Jack Russells everywhere to have the best care available, so here’s a few of our favourites.

Buying a Jack Russell Terrier?

While there are many reputable breeders out there, selling Jack Russell puppies is a business that can have negative effects. Puppy farms are bad news. That’s why we always recommend rescue or adoption, unfortunately there are many Jack Russells looking for their forever home but some never find one. Rescue and be part of the solution not the problem.

But you can help.

Embark Passion

As an avid traveller and animal lover, Sri Lanka holds a special place in my heart. It’s one of the best places in the world to see wildlife in a responsible way, check out some highlights of my travels here. One organisation doing some amazing work in Sri Lanka is Embark Passion.

They have set up a clothing line to raise money for treating the stray dogs of Sri Lanka. “Focused not only on rescues or adoptions but also sterilizations, vaccinations, education and campaigning for improved policy with regard to animals island wide, the Embark team takes the welfare of street dogs in Sri Lanka forward against the odds.”
