Sandy Paws

Offering Home Boarding for up to 2 dogs, living with our pack of 2 Bulldogs Fully Insured & Licensed Welcome to my page!
(2)

New to Hartland, we left our fast paced careers and located here in 2021 from the Midlands. Our first priority was to settle our son into his new life and school which he has done perfectly, and we as a family love life here and never want to leave. From a young age I have always been passionate about animals, my very first job was walking the local pub dog Bella the Labrador, I was just 16 years

of age and I was trusted to handle her. She was very over weight living in a pub having tip bits and never wanted to go for walks. I made it fun for her with her favourite ball and she was soon waiting by the door for me every day! After school I gained a BTEC National Diploma in Animal Care and then went on to study further and was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology. Growing up we always kept dogs, horses, parrots and exotic animals. From Wolfhounds, Greyhounds, Whippets, a Springer spaniel, Rottweiler and now to our pack of Bulldogs, I've never been without a dog by my side. Having owned horses and larger dogs I am strong, confident and able to control all variety of breeds and have excellent knowledge of brachycephalic breeds like Pugs, Bulldogs etc which often need certain walking conditions and care. I am fully licenced by Torridge Council (Licence Number:
ANACT/00599/22)
I have full public liability insurance through my registered business, and I have a Basic Disclosure (DBS Check). I am reliable, trustworthy, hard-working and honest, but most of all I am experienced, knowledgeable and absolutely love all dogs. If you are interested in Home Boarding Services please get in touch and I will be happy to discuss your requirements and see if they also meet ours. A free consultation to meet your dog(s) is essential as they must get along with my 2 resident Bulldogs.

The sun has finally arrived ☀️ Bella is jumping for joy 🤩

We’re heartbroken to announce the Queen of our Pack, “the Boss”, the face of our company and most importantly our beloved long time family pet Milla has gone over the Rainbow Bridge 🌈
It’ll never be the same without her, RIP Mee 💔

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

“On this golden land, they wait and play, Til the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day. No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, for here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.”

Beautiful long walk for Bella today, Peppercombe Beach we explored the woodland (definitely Bellas favourite terrain!), coastal path and beach, how lucky are we! Safe to say Bella is worn out and in the land of nod 💤🐶🦮🐾

We were delighted to welcome Heidi to our pack this weekend, what a sweet shy girl, a joy to have in our home 🏠

Beau and Milla respected her shyness and gave her the space she needed, absolute superstar hosts as always 🐶🐶

See you again Heidi 👋🏼

Gorgeous Marmalade, settled beautifully with us 🐶🐶🐶

For dogs with stiffness, joint pain, poor mobility, older dogs who are sleeping more…..I HIGHLY recommend Hempine CBD

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural and safe cannabinoid, found most abundantly in h**p flowers. Don’t panic it’s non-addictive, and non-psychoactive (it can't get you high!)

Our old girl Milla was sleeping more and more which is common with older dogs, but since being on Hempine CBD she was instantly sleeping less and became more alert and even more active (which is noticeable for a very lazy old Bulldog!)

As she couldn’t tell me, I figured she was probably sleeping more due to being in pain or discomfort from her old joints and maybe other age related pains…..so I am so pleased to see this difference in her and we can now help her have a more comfortable and enjoyable retirement 🐶💚🌿

Gorgeous Elsie always settles straight in with our pack, love her 😍….she loves her walkies with our Beau, best buddies 🐶🐶

It’s “Tick Season”

I found 2 on a clients dog today after our walk in the woods. This one is an adult female deer tick, this species is the one which carries Lyme disease which can be transmitted to dogs as well as humans.

Remember to check yourselves and pets after walks and ensure they are up to date on a regular treatment plan.

If you find a tick attached remove it properly with a tick remover (do not just pull it off!)
