So our home is on the market. Sadly my husband has dementia and we need to downsize for ease of maintenance, and also move nearer to the major show venues. Home boarding is therefore suspended for now but I am still available for microchipping at competitive rates.
We will see where the future takes us. Huge thanks to all my lovely past customers, I have so enjoyed looking after your dogs.

Each year, we receive a large number of enquiries related to animals who have helped themselves to packages delivered through the letterbox. A major risk in such cases is the ingestion of medications and/or supplements.

A common example, especially in these winter months, is Vitamin D. These products - especially prescribed preparations - pose great risk to pets, who are very sensitive to some compounds of vitamin D. Certain varieties (found mainly in psoriasis creams) only require very small quantities to be ingested to cause significant toxicity in dogs.

If there is a dog in the house (or a very mischievous cat!), we would advise using a cage on the letterbox to prevent pets from accessing postal deliveries📮

****ANNOUNCEMENT***
We are currently fully booked up to October and at present we aren’t taking bookings after that, as our property is going on the market.
It may take a while to sell and/or it may take us even longer to find a suitable new home for us and all our dogs, so as October draws nearer, if there’s no change we will start taking short-notice bookings only. This will unfortunately be no use to people who need to book holidays well ahead but will be ideal for those who favour impromptu trips and often it’s harder to find a space at short notice!
In addition, with my girls seasons having been less predictable this past year and they are no longer in sync, I have decided I can no longer accommodate entire males, particularly when we may have viewings. It’s unrealistic to expect the boys not to mark with so many tempting scents about!
Thank you all for your custom so far ❤️🐾

Maureen Muir I cannot respond to your private message as it says you are not available on Messenger!
Just to let you know I don’t have any availability for the period you were enquiring about, sorry!

Hello lovely people! Can I ask a favour - please use Messenger to this page when making enquiries or booking. I am juggling enquiries via text, email, WhatsApp and two Messenger accounts at present and it’s only a matter of time before I drop the ball and get in a muddle.
Thanks everyone 😊

This is a message from my colleague, Hannah Walker, MSc Clinical Animal Behaviour at The University of Edinburgh.
“Hi everyone! Please could you help me with my research? I am in the final stages of my Master’s degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour. My dissertation research will be investigating the relationship between engagement in object-chase games (eg. fetch) and dog behavioural characteristics. Please enter whether your dog chases objects or not. The survey is anonymous and your responses will be invaluable to my research. I would really appreciate if you could fill out the survey and/or share it around. Many thanks!"
