Can anyone help?

❗DOG FOOD APPEAL❗ - Could you pop a tin or two in your trolley?

Did you know we get through approximately 500 tins and trays of wet dog food per week at the sanctuary?!! 🛒🛒🛒

Our dogs would be so grateful to anyone that could include an extra tin or two in their weekly shop.

When dogs arrive undernourished or neglected, nutritious food helps build their strength. To soothe unsettled tummies we try and feed good quality grain-free brands in jelly (not gravy). Our dogs particularly love Butchers, Forthglade and Lily’s Kitchen which are available in most supermarkets or pet shops.

Or perhaps you could take a look at our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/21F6N6LRLMASD...

Food can be dropped at the sanctuary or delivered to us online: our address is Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary, Wild Country Lane, Barrow Gurney, BS48 3SE.

Whether it’s Bruce’s breakfast, Lottie’s lunch, Dougie’s dinner or Suki’s supper, every donation will help keep our dogs happy and healthy.

Thank you 💛

Lately I’ve been reminded of the phrase “it’s just business, it’s not personal.” Logically, I know that’s true — but when the business is just me, it is personal.

Part of what makes me love this work (and hopefully makes me good at it) is how much I care. I don’t have a big brand to stand behind. It’s just me — my hands, my heart, my time — with your dogs, and with you. I don’t know how to switch off that caring, and honestly, I don’t think I want to.

That means sometimes it hurts when a dog I’ve loved grooming passes away, moves away, or when someone chooses a groomer closer to home. It really is sad knowing I might not see those little faces again.

But I’ve come to realise that feeling this way isn’t a weakness — it’s part of what makes my little business what it is. It’s built on love, connection and care. ❤️🐾

After 8 years of pouring myself into this work, I’m heading off on my first holiday. I’ll carry all of these reflections with me, and I’ll come back refreshed, grateful, and ready to keep doing what I love most: caring for your dogs like they’re my own.

Today is the last visit for this beautiful girl before she heads off to an exciting new life in New Zealand in a couple of weeks. Both her and her Mum have been the most wonderful customers to have and I shall miss them both so much. Tears have been flowing 💕
