Let's talk NAILS!

Our Basic Pedicure service is offered for dog's who allow their owners to trim their nails but because we trim nails on a daily basis, their owners feel more comfortable having us trim their nails.
Even if the owner needs to muzzle their dog to trim their nails, that's okay, we don't mind muzzling them for their Basic Pedicure.

If your dog does NOT allow you to trim their nails, and you have not introduced them to being muzzled for nail trims, then we will NOT be able to offer the Basic Pedicure service. Your dog's safety and our safety is always our first priority.

Keeping your dog's nails trimmed is very important for your dog's overall health.

Finally a ball too BIG to fit in their mouths! 😂

Wouldn’t know there was so much room!
But I’m standing where that emoji is so I guess this is as close as they can get! 😁🥰

And just like that we are walking and playing in the dark!

Win win for Loxley, he gets his fresh raw foods and a quick stop for some fun!
Today he watched as the Via train arrived and departed the Kingston Train Station.

This was just so odd. The dogs had been following this bright yellow moth around the yard for some time. Only Stanley wasn’t interested in it. Perhaps that’s why it chose him to hitch a ride on?! 😊

Wow! The summer sure seems to be going by so quickly!
We have just a few things to remind clients who have previously used our services and to share with new and/or potential clients.
1. Please DO NOT approach any of the fenced areas when attending our facility even if your OWN dog is within the fenced area. Re-directing excitement to see their own to another dog can quickly become a very unsafe situation for the dogs and staff that are interacting with your dog.
2. If you are trying to book a reservation and you are not able to select a specific date and/or time to pick up or drop off your pet, it is because we are NOT OPEN during the time you are trying to select on that particular date. Please refer to our website, Paw Partner App, Google, and page, for our hours of operation. We have done our very best to ensure they are communicated to you on every available platform as well as provided explanations for our hours on the FAQ page of our website.
3. If you could please try to provide a reasonably sized plastic container for your dog's food for the duration of their reservation that would be greatly appreciated. Bringing us a 20lb bag of dog food for your 30lb dog for 3-days is a bit unreasonable. Imagine trying to store 20, 20lb bags of dog food in your kitchen! Not to mention trying to control the buffet offered to the mice which we are constantly trying to keep under control!
4. Dogs are to remain in the vehicle until you have checked in with us and we have advised you to bring your dog inside. We have MANY dogs visiting our facility this time of year, which means we are exercising many dogs while people are coming and going. Not all of our guests are friendly and letting your dog out of the vehicle without knowing if it is safe to do so, puts EVERYONE at risk!
5. We are a family run business, we have just one staff member who works with us. We would really appreciate if you tried to respect our business hours. Perhaps think about your own dog's response to someone knocking on your dog unexpectedly, and then times that by 20 dogs! And can you imagine living next door to those 20-plus dogs! We have a great relationship with our community along Maple Hill Road, and we make great efforts to maintain this relationship to ensure we can continue to offer our services to you and your dog(s)!

We look forwarding to see you all, if we haven't yet!
We'd also like to acknowledge all the wonderful reviews from our clients!
Thank You!

Finally I was able to pick a few images from the NUMEROUS images taken by Kevin Corbitt while we were attending both the March and May 2024 confirmation shows with the HAMPTON ROADS KENNEL CLUB in Courtland Virginia.
Loxley obtained Reserve Best in Show in May, earning his first Champion Title!
So his registered name on UKC docments;
CH UWP N-Loxley Riona Centrum SPOT

And Gertie and I both just would like to say, thus far the most helpful, inviting and friendly people we have met at the events in the USA have been from the HAMPTON ROADS KENNEL CLUB. So THANK YOU for making our first experiences, GREAT memories!

Anyone interested in introducing their pups to a sport that any dog can do, I highly recommend you check out this seminar coming up soon in Kingston and just before the upcoming weight pull event in August also being held in Kingston.
