Dear Gentle Reader,
Whilst those amongst the ton find themselves bewildered by the ladies and lords this season, those residing at Bryn Y Maen are patiently awaiting their forever home.
Those such as our Lord Oakley whom has been looking for his own proposal this season. Yes, Lord Oakley would adore a home with a quiet estate allowing him to settle in at his own pace. He would require a quiet area to settle into and to support his needs, will be searching for a home on an initial foster basis, supported by our staff and behaviour team.
This esteemed young gentleman requires a home to be patient and kind with him to support his needs as he is anxious around new people and handling.
If one requires more information in regard to Lord Oakley, one is able to find that below.
In addition gentle reader, to apply for the adoption of Lord Oakley, please complete the form below.
Yours Truly,
Lady BrynYMaen

A little treat for everyone today as we now have 100 Google Reviews!! 🧁 Thank you so much to anyone who has ever taken the time to leave us a review. It helps us to know our team are doing a GREAT job and helps new customers to feel confident leaving their pet in our care. We have also had a lot of new customers saying they have been recommended to use us by friends and colleagues recently, so thank you to all of those people too 🙌🏻
This is visible on the boating lake in Eirias Park this morning (Sunday June 2nd).
It is suspected Green algae, but we do not have confirmation yet.
This can be extremely dangerous for dogs coming into contact with it, so we would urge every walking dogs in the park, to keep them away.
Hope everyone’s enjoying a lovely Bank Holiday 🌼 The office is closed for the long weekend, so please email or text if you’d like to get through to us!!
The sun is shining and we are celebrating after a long wet winter 😎☀️ Thank you lovely doggies for humouring your silly human friends x
This week our XL kennels are ready to reopen 🥳 Big enough for one small horse and two grown men 🤣 They have been redone to open the space out more, and to include full height walls on all four kennels, to suit our big dogs, or reactive and nervous dogs, who don’t appreciate having neighbours. Completely opposite to Decembers refurbed block which was done to suit our little dogs, with low walls so that they can all see their neighbours 🤗
The start of 2024 has flown and we’re already looking forward to lighter evenings and better weather 🌻 Especially our gorgeous day care Reina, who had her first astro sunbathing session of the year this week 🌞
Nadolig Llawen 🎄 We hope everyone has a lovely Christmas. Katie has put some brilliant videos on Instagram of the dogs enjoying some Christmas treats this morning 🎅🏻✨
A reminder of our Christmas Opening times 🎅🏻 Due to cancellation we do have 2 spots available for Christmas in the kennels, the cattery is fully booked. Please get in touch asap if your dog wants to spend Christmas with us! 🥰
Edit - we now have 1 Christmas space

So excited to be sharing these photos, in celebration of our 10 year anniversary (next month) 🥹
First up, our Dogs of the Decade. Bruno, Lio, & Merlin have been coming to us every week for between 7-8 years & are very special to us 💜 Special shout-out to Dexter, who would have been our 4th Dog of the Decade, if we hadn’t sadly lost him this year 🕊
Thank you again to CMW Pawtography who took 500 (!!!) photos of our gorgeous daycares, and has worked her magic to give us the finished photos xx

What a great attitude from a lovely vet 🐾 Her courses have been great for us this year to learn some dog and cat first aid, learn more about caring for brachycephalic animals, and understanding the important impacts (positive and negative) that neutering can have!
Yes, yes, and yes! Working with animals comes with a HUGE amount of responsibility. It doesn’t matter if you’re a groomer, boarder, house sitter, walker, veterinary care assistant, veterinary nurse, veterinary receptionist, veterinary surgeon, cat sitter, hydrotherapist, physiotherapist, holistic therapist, I know I’ve not included everyone and please do not take that personally! As you are ALL so very very important to the health, welfare, and wellbeing of our pets.
Your job, whatever your role, plays a massive part in that pets life. It is not a hobby, it is not an easy option, it is a choice, a vocation, a calling to care for pets who are often the most important part of somebodies life! That means you have to do your best and be your best by learning as much as you can, and realising that you should never be undervalued.
In many people’s lives their pets are one of the most important, sometime the most important. Your work, your care, your dedication, is worth everything.
So the next time someone thinks your job is just cuddling animals, remember this post. Cuddling is lovely, but your job is so much more than that ❤️

We are now full for Xmas in the cattery and 1 space left in kennels. Please get in touch asap for bookings from 27th onwards for New Year or to be added to our Xmas cancellation list! 🎅🏻
What an awful wet and windy day it’s been today. It called for a little trip to Vintage Kitchen for treats for the staff, who always turn up whatever the weather. Special mention for Lauren who travels from Llanrwst on her moped. She got as far as the other side of Bryn Y Maen today and had to turn back and take a detour through Glan Conwy and Mochdre, due to flooding. I’m sure you will all join me in applauding them all for doing a great job day in, day out 👏🏻
Our final kennel block renovation has started !! 🔨 Maggie hates to miss the fun, so has obviously been keeping tabs, and our Day Care dogs have been upgraded to a new kennel block, which has direct access to their beloved ’big astro’, so they’re very pleased 🤣🐾
We have a part time position available for the right person 🐾
Thank you to everyone who brought their pets to us for a summer holiday! 🌞🌴 We’re slowly starting to creep into winter mode now, our final kennel block is being renovated next month 🤩
We’re now looking for a part time members of staff, more details to follow soon.
Janes donkeys causing trouble bright and early this morning 🤣🫣
The donkeys were in the road between Craigside and Penrhyn Bay, Llandudno.
An updated post from the cattery as our new Catio pens were tiled today and are nearly available to book 😻 Our little Maggie has kept a close eye on the progress. We can’t wait until they’ve had the finishing touches!!
Bandanas galore this month as we have celebrated some special 3rd birthdays and some wonderful dogs of the week. Today we had a very special visit from our gorgeous day care, Luna, who has recently been poorly and sadly had her leg amputated. We were so happy to see her. No surprise she is this weeks dog of the week 💜
We’ve had a busy start to summer!! Tomorrow we say goodbye to Frank, our holiday livery, after 7 weeks 🥹🤍 Last week we brought home a little elderly rescue pony from North Clwyd Animal Rescue and started to work on improving his coat and skin. We also started work on our new cat pen which will have astro turfed catio access! 😊
This Adder has just been seen in the car park near Llyn Crafnant (Conwy Valley) by one of our vets.
These are the only venomous snakes found in the wild in the UK. They pose a risk to humans and animals, and if bitten, immediate medical/Veterinary treatment should be sought.
If your dog is bitten by one, it is important to transport them immediately to a vet, carried to the car preferably.
They are naturally shy creatures, and are most likely to strike if they feel at risk. Notably, an inquisitive dog exploring in undergrowth.
This is less likely to be as much a risk if dogs are kept on a lead. (As is the request in most areas where livestock roam free).

It’s a very happy Easter here today as another refurbished kennel block is getting the finishing touches!!

Bit of teamwork this morning when our family of 10 crazy labs arrived for their stay. It wasn’t safe to drive down, but luckily the labs came flying down in groups of 2-3. Organised chaos!! Hopefully that was the last of the snow🤞🏼
Some Christmas joy was spread tonight 🧑🏻🎄🎁 A fun filled Christmas week for our Day Cares and Christmas boarders. Our christmas guests have been spoilt this evening, and Jane, Nicola, Becca and Amber will be on duty tomorrow to make sure our cats and dogs are well looked after. Merry Christmas everyone ✨
⚫️Oliver - looking for a new home⚫️ Well our stray cat was never claimed, and has been living in the cattery for the past 6 weeks. In that time Lyn has won him over 😊 which means we were able to get him to the vets. Today he has been castrated, treated for fleas and worms, and chipped. Unfortunately he won’t tolerate anyone else 😢 and is still very very nervy. Therefore we don’t think he’d make a suitable cattery cat, as he wouldn’t be comfortable with people coming and going each day. We’re hoping we can find him a suitable home, possibly where he can be more independent and come for a fuss on his own terms. He seemed quite happy to suit himself when he was sneaking in to eat the food at the stables, so maybe a home like that would be suitable 🤞🏼 A quiet home with only adults who have time to give or an outdoor home (stables/outbuilding/farm type) who can offer somewhere warm to sleep, food, and the possibility of moving into the house if he makes friends. The RSCPA and Cats Protection are currently at full capacity and we’d like to give him a shot of finding a suitable home rather than prolonging the time he is cooped up.
