Spring grooming
Another effect of the warmer weather is that some dogs moult even more than usual. There is certainly a huge choice of brushes, combs and other grooming tools and it is worth finding just the right one for your dog. Regular grooming of your dog not only maintains their healthy coat but is a chance to check all of your dog's body as well as to enhance the relationship between you.
Sunny days are here
Just as British Summertime begins, so does spring. How lovely to watch a dog running and sniffing around dry fields and woods for a change! Lots of dogs also like to sunbathe but it can be a challenge to regularly move them into the shade......I find a variety of frozen dog treats or an indoor game is usually the answer!
Longer days are on their way
There's definitely a change in the length of the days now with slightly brighter mornings and evenings. It means we have all made it through another dark winter and can look forward to a lovely spring!
I rather like muddy dogs!
I hope I'm not the only one who likes seeing a muddy dog? I always think it shows that the dog has had a great time either running, splashing or the dreaded rolling! Drying coats, towels, fleeces or blankets are the essentials to at least get your dog into your car or home. After that, you have to get serious with the bath/shower, shampoo and more towels before having a cosy and sweet-smelling dog again.
Exciting times
It's always fun and interesting to find out what your dog enjoys to do. Varying the type, length and place you walk can give them new sights and sounds to explore, while something as simple as a cardboard tube with treats or food inside it can be fun for them to tear apart. The world of doggy fun is only limited by our imaginations!
New shoots are coming up!
It is lovely to see new buds and shoots coming up when I walk my doggy friends and it won't be long until perhaps we won't need so many layers of clothes when we go out and about. Not that a lot of dogs are worried; so many of them just charge about, sniffing, investigating and generally enjoying life whatever the weather!
Button up their coats!
In the recent bad weather, one thing that always makes me smile is some of the amazing coats, jumpers and all-in-ones that some dogs wear. There is the widest variety of colours, styles and fabrics these days and I say why not? If the dog is happy to wear it and it keeps him/her warm and dry, I will carry on enjoying the fashion parade!
Happy New Year!
The New Year has arrived with stormy weather, as so often happens in this part of the world! In spite of that, I hope everyone has a peaceful, calm and happy 2025.
Yes, it’s Christmas!
As ever, Christmas has come around so quickly. I have been shopping for my doggy customers and the choice is incredible. I certainly have had fun choosing some lovely presents. I hope you and your doggy friends have a lovely time.
Dogs and their beds
I've recently seen some lovely, comfortable dog beds in all sorts of colours, shapes and sizes in a local garden centre. Now, many dogs like to snooze on our beds or the sofa, of course, but if you'd like them to have their own beds, it's really worth shopping around as there is such a great choice these days.
My charges
I offer an affordable dog boarding service, and will give you a discounted rate for entrusting more than one dog to my care. 1st dog per day: £20 day care/£25 holiday ...
