Happy international cat day from Millie and my new addition Merlin 🐾🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛

30/07/2024

Hot days are for home visits, hunting for treats, and a whole load of kisses and cuddles!

Calming activities such as snuffle mats, treat hunts and puzzle games are great forms of mental stimulation that don't involve dogs to raise their body temperature much!

☀️ Hot Weather ☀️
All walks will be swapped to home visits from 10am onwards tomorrow! 🥵

As always, if you need any advice on keeping your pets cool & entertained during the hot weather, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

My next new client and doggy friend is quite a bit different in age to the puppy Betsy! Although Hugo is more mature, he still loves a fuss and sniffy walk! I am happy to have spent some time with him this weekend. Welcome to the Taz's Tails family! 🐾❤️

Please be careful with the temperatures into next week with your dogs! During warmer weather, we either offer shady, slower and shorter walks potentionally with some water to swim in or we stay at home with your pet as an alternative to walking. During this time your dog will be stimulated in other ways such as playing games. This will keep their body temperature regulated and reduce the risk of heat stroke! Heat stroke for dogs can be fatal- Even with temperatures in the low 20's for particular breeds!

🐾 HOT WEATHER POLICY ☀️

It looks like we might finally be coming into the time of year when the weather starts heating up! As we have several new clients this year, we wanted to remind you of our policies for hot weather.

As dogs cool themselves down by panting and can only sweat through their paws, when the weather is hot, not only can they risk burning their paws on hot pavements, but they are also susceptible to heatstroke.

With this in mind, we keep a close eye on the temperature when deciding whether to walk dogs when the weather gets hotter. We also take into consideration a whole load of other factors such as the dog's breed, age, size, whether there is shade or water for swimming, and anything owners have said with how their dogs respond to the heat. We will assess each dog individually.

When the weather is warmer, if we do walks, we will be tailoring them to suit the weather conditions, encouraging slower, sniffly walks in shady places rather than crazy ball chasing walks!

If we feel it is too hot for a walk, for owners who are out when we would normally walk your dogs, we will be offering home/garden visits as an alternative, providing your dogs with enrichment games and mental stimulation instead.

We may decide it is necessary to shorten our walks or walk earlier, and in some cases we may have to do shorter home/garden visits to ensure we can still accommodate for all - especially around our busy lunchtime period.

🐾 The health and safety of the dogs we care for is the most important thing to us, and we're not willing to put dogs at risk by walking them when it's too hot. If you have any concerns about your dogs in hot weather, please let us know and we can discuss alternative arrangements to suit you and your dogs 🐾

Keep an eye on our page as we will be posting lots of tips and advice during the summer months, not only for dogs but also cats and small pets too.

We have also put together an enrichment guide for anyone who is looking for alternative activities for their dogs when the weather is too hot for walking. These activities focus on mental stimulation as opposed to physical exercise. If you would like a copy of this, please let us know.

We hope you have a lovely summer, and take care in the heat! ☀️🐾

Although, I have many lovely doggy clients through Laura's Paws I took on my first Taz's Tails pooch this week, a 4 month old Yorky-poo. What a pleasure it is to have Betsy and her wonderful owner as my first clients. I am doing home visits to break up the day for Betsy, whilst her owner is at work. Puppies have lots of energy, but their exercise should be limited, based on how old they are as their bodies are still developing. With Betsy, we play games, practise her training, use snuffle / licky mats, and, of course, have lots of fuss and cuddles. Mental stimulation is just as important as exercise ( if not more so) for dogs of all ages!

If you are interested in home visits, dog walking, or pet sitting in Brightlingsea, contact Laura's Paws , and if you are a little further afield, I can help through my own business!

Chapter 31 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁

I have had a fabulous couple of days celebrating my birthday. It was my first one without my dog Milo, and although I miss him so much, I got my fix of pets for sure! I had cuddles from dogs, bunnies, cats, and puppies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With a significant amount of cake, chocolate, and good food. Not to mention the fab company I had too! I genuinely feel very humbled and grateful for the people around me, and I can't wait to see what this year brings for me.

Thank you for all of your follows and likes on my page, Taz's Tails! I am so grateful to be on this journey with you. I will be updating my page over the next couple of days with more information about my services my price list will be ready to send out to those that make any enquiries.

Happy Saturday to you and your furbabies!

Love Taz xx

I'm lucky enough to work with these fabulous girls, who also are offering pet sitting, walking and visits!

🎉 Exciting Update! 🎉

As many of you know, we had put a pause on our overnight pet sitting services whilst Laura is on her maternity leave. Well…
We’re super excited to share with you that we will gradually be reintroducing this service in the coming months, with Emma taking short overnight bookings for our existing Brightlingsea clients!

As there is still a lot going on in the background (and needing precious family time!) this will be a limited service and is likely to get booked up very quickly. Priority will be given on a first come first serve basis to pre existing clients only.

Our Bronze, Silver and Gold overnight packages will still be available although there will be some slight changes to our packages and prices for these services. Please get in touch to find out about our updated services, and check our availability.

For any bookings over a week long, or new clients, we will be referring you to our fabulous newbie, Tasmin, who will be independently starting her own overnight pet sitting services at Taz’s Tails. You can contact Tasmin directly via her page Taz's Tails or on 07535 017857 📞

We can’t wait for the cuddles! 💜🐾

My name is Tasmin, owner of Taz's Tails. I am a hardworking and driven professional who has 10 years experience teaching. I have always loved working with children, but throughout my life I have also loved having pets and know what a special part of the family they are. Whilst considering changing my career, I sadly lost my best friend Milo; a 7-year-old black lab. He was my entire world, and the bond we shared with my cat Millie was unique and irreplaceable. Losing him has made me realise how passionate I am about caring for animals and that I need and want to surround myself with them. In Milo's memory, I began working with two lovely sisters, Laura and Emma at Laura's Paws . I have been inspired by these ladies, their business and by my boy Milo, to create Taz's Tails!

At the moment my personal business offers pet sitting in your home with the hope to also offer boarding at my home in the near future. I also continue to work with Laura's Paws to offer dog walking and other pet services in Brightlingsea.

Have faith, that I know how precious your pets are to you, and that I will treat them with the love and care as you do! If you're searching for a pet sitter who is dedicated to providing exceptional care and affection to your furry family members, look no further! I offer flexible and customisable pet sitting services to meet the needs of both you and your pets.

I will update my page with more information soon, but if you have any queries or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I cannot wait to meet you and your pets.
