My thoughts are with this poor pup and his lovely family 💔

What it looks like, how it can affect people and how to report sightings.

Hi everyone! I’m really excited to let you all know that we’re changing our name from Amy’s Doggy Day care to…

Amy’s Happy Hounds! 🐾🌼

Please be patient with me whilst I am in the process of changing all of my website names etc 😅 you can still contact me in all of the usual ways. I will be in touch with all of my existing clients to let you know of the name change; if you have any upcoming appointments booked in with me these are still going ahead 🥰. I’m really excited to be able to offer you and your dogs more services and welcome more clients in the spring 🌸

⚠️

With so many dogs going missing, we suggest that you take a minute to check your dog's chip details are all up to date.

Keep your pets microchip number and the database contact info in your phone alongside a good photo, showing any distinguishing marks.

You can find which database your pet’s microchip is registered on by checking on this link, you just need the microchip number. If you don’t have the microchip number, please ask your veterinary practice to scan for you: https://www.checkachip.com

IMPORTANT:
Also note the Fraudulent Database details - we find that quite a few people have registered their dogs details on www.allpaws.info database (previously ukpetchipregistry.info)
If your dog goes missing, your details will not come up to the authorities SO IT WILL NOT BRING YOUR DOG HOME

Today’s second dog session 🐶 I’m so happy with how well this group is getting on! Everyone seems very comfortable in each other’s company and they all LOVE to play! This is definitely a high energy group (which if you watch my videos you will be able to hear Petunia’s excited squeaking in the background 😂). Look at all these happy faces 🥰

Today’s small dog session 🐶 we welcomed a new friend this week! After a little hesitation at the start, everyone really got stuck in with the fun - it was as quick as flipping a switch, amazing to see! All my dogs are superstars 🤩 what better way is there to spend a Saturday morning?

I’m really happy to let you all know, that today I attended a presentation at Test Valley Borough Council’s head office and they have awarded me with the Small Business Incentive Grant for doing such a great job with my business over the last few months! 🥳 it feels amazing to be recognised for all of the hard work that has been put in to get my business up and running. I don’t have any of the official photos yet, but as soon as I do I will post them here! 😊

As well as doing the job of looking after, walking, and caring for all your pooches, I have also been:
• A media content creator - creating websites, business cards, posters, flyers
• A social media manager - setting up and keeping all of my social media accounts up to date with pictures, videos and updates
• My own admin team - replying to emails, messages and phone calls on a daily basis and ensuring I follow up and keep track of all forms, as well as keeping up to date with all privacy policies and GDPR
• An accounts manager - keeping track of all spending and receipts and ensuring all spreadsheets and accounts are up to date (learning to use Excel again has been fun 🙈)
• A safeguarding officer - ensuring I receive all relevant consent and flagging any concerns to vets / Animal Welfare Officer as appropriate
• A professional development officer - ensuring I am up to date with all relevant training and undertaking training as appropriate

Plus so much more that is behind the scenes! I have put so much of my own time, money and heart into starting my business and I am extremely proud that I am starting 2022 doing something that I love 🥰 I hope you are all having a lovely Wednesday and thank you so much for your ongoing support 🐶🐾🥰

Who says you can’t look on the bright side of a storm 🌈 dogs vs sticks: dogs 1 - 0 stick!
(Don’t worry, all noms of sticks were supervised at all times 🪵🐾)

On a serious note, I hope you all managed to stay safe over the weekend! 🌪🐾

🐾⚠️🌪⚠️🐾

⚠️ AMBER WEATHER WARNING ⚠️

Significant disruption to travel is expected on Friday due to extremely strong winds caused by Storm Eunice. The Met Office has issued an AMBER warning from 03:00-21:00 on Friday. An amber warning means there is a danger to life from flying debris and damage to property is also possible. Overhead power lines may also be brought down by strong winds.

Check fences in the garden before allowing your dog to run free or they could run off. Watch out for damaged trees while on walks. Check aviaries are secure and stable. If possible move your smaller outdoor pets to a wind-free area to keep them safe (indoors idealy). If this is not possible, plenty of bedding for them to hide in, check everything is secure and not lieky to fall over. The winds are coming, and we really hope no one gets blown away!
Please check that all information on your pets microchips are up to date, just in case you do get separated, it aids quick reunification!

Fun at the park part.2 🐾 Saturday is the best day of the week as far as these pooches are concerned! 😂🐶

05/02/2022

The happiest faces of the week award goes to… every single one of these smiley happy dogs 🥰🐶 we welcomed a new member to the pack this week, who after a little bit of nerves at the start, really came out of her shell and was happy joining in the fun! Sorry about all the mud, pawrents 🙈 it’s the sign of a good time!

🐾 Welcome, Petunia! 🐾

05/02/2022

Small dog session part 2. 🐶 in the second half of the session, everyone was a lot more explorative and interested in each other. We even had some zoomies from Deefa! It makes me so happy to see everyone coming out of their shells and enjoying their time together 🥰 after a bit of a calm down time at the end, the session came to a finish 🐶

05/02/2022

Fun at the park part.1 🐶 the sun came out for us this morning! However, it was still cold 🥶😂 and extremely muddy! I can say that the improvement in this group since the last time I saw them has been amazing - everyone was happy to join in and we made the most of the space in the field. I don’t think we’ll be using the jumps any time soon though 🙈😂

23/01/2022

Getting ready for the new week ahead 🐾💪 let’s do this! 🦮

17/01/2022

If you have booked your dog in with me over the last 6 months, please don’t forget to leave a review on my page and on Google. Reviews are extremely helpful for small businesses (like mine)! Thank you all so much for your ongoing support 🥰🐶🐾

15/01/2022

Fun at the park part.2 🐾🐶 I wish I had taken more pictures of Benji to show you actually how muddy it is up there! However, he was having too much of a good time to stay still 😂 at least we know they all have fun! 🐾

15/01/2022

Today’s second (very) muddy group at the Dog Park 🐾🐶 this is the first time having this session and seeing these pups since last year, so it was great seeing everyone after Christmas and the New Year break 🥳

Fun on the field part.2 🐶🐾
Apologies dog pawrents for all of the muddy feet! 🐾

15/01/2022

Lots of cheeky pups this morning 🐶🥰 I can’t explain how rewarding it is having nervous dogs arrive, but then watching them leave as more confident members of society. Of course we still have some work to do, but comparing the beginning of the session to the end of the session, the difference was incredible. I’m so proud of you dogs! 🥰🐶
Welcome to the pack:
