NEW THREADS

Congratulations to our staff member Mia, who passed her 3 month probation with us with flying colours, and as a result, has her own personalised uniform.

Great work Mia, keep it up!

CHRISTMAS COME EARLY

We were very lucky today to receive two loads of donations of doggie items, ranging from harness to wet food, and from crates to grooming gloves, as modelled by little Marlo.

Sadly one lot of items came from the passing of one of our favourite dogs to have ever come through our doors, Franc the Frenchie, affectionately known as “Franc the Tank. RIP big man and thanks!

And, a big thank you to Pixel, to our other regular boarder who made a donation.

And should anyone out there have any dog items they may not need anymore, please get in touch as we’ll undoubtedly be able to put them to good use!

DOGGY STYLE

Winter’s coming! And it looks like it’s going to land this week specifically!

So our new winter, Waggy’s-branded, jackets have landed in a rather timely fashion.

Thanks to Mia, Charlotte and the doggies for modelling them.

LEST WE FORGET

Today we remember and honour our brave men, women and animals who died protecting us.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Just a few of our reviews from the last few months: we’re honoured by the time taken, and the words spoken by those who have left them - thank you so much. We don’t necessarily need external confirmation to know we do a good job, but our staff, who’s relentless hard work and care is the reason for these words, still appreciate them greatly

237 reviews encouting, and over 99% of them 5 star.

Thanks you all, and we promise to keep on giving our all for your pooches!

FIREWORKS NIGHT ADVICE

We make a guest appearance in this superb blog from Anglian Dog Works about keeping your dog calm during fireworks night season.

As the blog points out, more than half of all dogs experience anxiety during fireworks, and if this article can help even a small portion of those affected, both us and the team at ADW will be very happy dog-lovers.

You can find the blog here:

https://angliandogworks.com/blogs/training-tips/dog-trainer-cambridge-fireworks-agility-bash-nov-2024

And, should your pup be with us during fireworks season, rest assured that we will be taking measures to help alleviate any anxiety, such as:

- Gently increasing exposure to firework sounds through our piped music system in the lead up to October 31st
- Placing at-risk dogs in kennels that only have indoor areas, and not outside areas
- Putting Kong Toys, Licki mats and other stress-relieving toys inside said dogs’ kennels

Should you want any further advice on how to deal with firework season, or any dog-behaviour related enquiries, then please get in touch with the team at Anglian Dog Works - we can’t recommend them highly enough.

DOG GROOMING AT WAGGYS

Waggy’s Dog Centre in Abington is pleased to announce the opening of our on-site grooming parlour.

We groom dogs of all shapes, breeds and ages and offer highly competitive rates, while we can also guarantee a waiting time of no more than 72 hours from enquiry to groom.

In addition to a full-groom, we also offer other services such as bathing, brush-outs, and nail clipping.

And, why not double-up on treating your dog? We are also a daycare centre, meaning your dog could be booked in for a play session for most of the day, with a groom as the cherry on top.

Please PM us for more information, or email us at [email protected] to make a booking.

‘SOQ’: Daycare for the Shy, Old and the Quiet

Not all dogs want to charge around all day. We get that. Some just want to potter, to watch, to sniff… and just enjoy the quiet life. Socialisation is a scale, and those at the quiet end of it deserve daycare too.

And so, in creating a fourth socialisation area (see our recent posts for pictures and videos!), we have a fourth socilaisation group, known as the ‘SOQ’, for Shy, Quiet and Old dogs.

This group is strictly for calm dogs and provides a quiet area in which they can go about their daycare days without being bothered by livelier dogs.

Waggy’s: socialisation, not isolation, and socialisation for all.
