Hi everyone 🐶
Unfortunately I will have to close the books to new clients for both boarding and daycare until at least November 🐶

I really appreciate all the great reviews and recommendations from you all, word of mouth really is the best advertisement so thank you all so much. 🐶

I hate to do this so early in the year.
Looking at the diary there is very little availability left throughout the year up to November. 🐶

Regular clients please send me any dates you have planned ASAP as I cannot guarantee a space for last minute bookings. 🐶

Anyone who is waiting for an introduction please don't panic, your pets space is held for them and they are in the diary.
Work is still ongoing in the garden and will hopefully be finished soon.
I will be in touch to arrange these introductions in the next few days 🐶

Beautiful 🐶❤️

In the rich mosaic of my own journey, I find myself pausing to cherish the distinct colours and textures that each dog brought to the canvas of my life. From the lively chaos of my first furry friend's puppyhood to the serene companionship of the wise elder who shared the twilight of our days, each one left an indelible mark, a unique brushstroke on the portrait of my life.

Their joyous barks and affectionate nudges spoke a language of love that transcended the barriers of words, creating a silent dialogue between us. In the quiet moments of shared glances and the gentle touch of a paw, I uncovered lessons that went beyond the ordinary, revealing the depth of patience, empathy, and the profound connection forged in the simplicity of coexistence.

As I trace the imprints of their paws on the pathways of my heart, I recognise that these canine companions were not just pets; they were cherished co-pilots on the journey of self-discovery. Their unwavering loyalty and the unspoken bond we shared unveiled the beauty of devotion, reminding me that life's most meaningful lessons often come wrapped in fur, accompanied by wagging tails and an abundance of love.

🐶NOTICE🐶

At the minute I am not able to take on any new families for the Summer of 2023.

There is a huge demand for boarding this year.
June, July and August are especially busy.

I have a limited amount of spaces so booking early is essential to avoid disappointment.

I do try my best to fit everyone in but there is only so much i can do, please please book early.

For any new families who have a booking and are waiting to come for an introduction/meet and greet don't worry, your booking is still in place and I will be in touch shortly to arrange a meeting.

Its a busy day, feeding, introducing new dogs to the pack, helping them feel comfortable, getting dogs ready to go home, walking, bathing, cleaning and providing stimulation 🐶

I am fully booked at the minute so getting to messages or working on the diary has to wait.

Thank you for your patience ❤️

Can't wait for better weather!

She is doing great, soldiering on, back out on slower walks and recovering nicely. At 14 years old age is only a number to our Lady ! 🙏

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and all the very best for 2023
🎊🎉
2022 has been a great year and we have had so much fun!
We have welcomed lots of new dogs into our ever growing doggy family along with all our regular pups too. ❤️

There is never a dull day at Camp Canine🐶

Also, not forgetting those who have went to the bridge this year🌈🐶🐱

Looking forward to another year of having the best job in the world, I can't believe it will be my 7th year in business this year!

It just wouldn't be possible without returning clients and all of the recommendations you give to family, friends and colleagues.
Thank you so so much 🐶❤️

Here's to 2023 🐶🎊🎉

Merry Christmas everyone 🎅🐾🐶

🐶 NOTICE 🐶

Our own dog, wee Lady has just had cruciate ligament surgery.
Recovery is long and she will have several appointments for rehabilitation when she is ready.
I may have to change some drop off/pick up times to accommodate these appointments.
Plenty of notice will be given.
Extra daycare space will be limited until after Christmas.
All regular weekly daycare and boarding will continue as normal
Again I may have to be a bit less flexible with drop off/pick up times to accommodate Lady's appointments.
I have a bunch of messages to answer which I will do in due course, I am just busy at present tending to Lady.
