Enrichment activities are crucial for dogs because they provide mental and physical stimulation, helping to prevent boredom, reduce stress, and fulfill their natural instincts to explore , ultimately leading to a happier and healthier dog by addressing both their physical and cognitive needs.

January has been one challenge after another ..
They do say bad luck comes in 3’s .. 1. closure due to storm eowyn 2. Sausage fingers deleting the entire booking system 3. FLOODING!.
So we are hopeful we have had all our bad luck crammed into January and we can have a peaceful drama free 2025 going forward 🤞🏻
Thank you so much for all your understanding with the later opening time today whilst we dealt with the flooding and a HUGE SORRY from us for any inconvenience caused by this .
Here is some footage of what we were dealing with this morning 💦 🫠
We’re very lucky to have such an amazing team who pulled together to clear the water and get us open within such a short time! 🥰

🚨ATTENTION ALL CUSTOMERS 🚨
Running a business is hard . We have spent 2 years learning what works and what doesn’t work for us as a company . One thing that has always been important to us is keeping our prices fair and competitive. This has become increasingly challanging with new “budget” and constant rising costs of things we require to run our business such as stock, bills, fees and subscriptions.
We have made the decision to move to CASH ONLY with immediate effect for a few of our services . For every card transaction including all individual daycare bookings and shop sales we loose a fee for processing the payment and a fee for the transfer to us. Moving to cash for some of our services will help lower our operating costs and allow us to keep our prices as low as possible. With that in mind costs will be rising more in March/April and our pricing will have to go up at that time to reflect this . Please bare this in mind and book ahead to save . We will announce the cost increase nearer the time .

✨CHANGES ✨
•DAYCARE PACKAGES will now be at £0 on the booking system . Once booked we will send you a message as a reminder to pay with cash the next time you drop your dog off at daycare . We do ask that this is paid before we can accept your dog into daycare to avoid us having to chase up any payments . Packages will still be booked the same as before, through the website or app.
•VAN SERVICE, this will now be £0 on the booking system and will also be required to be paid via cash prior to us collecting your dog . (we will send all van customers a separate message in regards to this).
•SHOP SALES, To allow us to keep our product prices as low as possible we will now asking that you pay in CASH. The card terminal will still be available for the time being but cash is preferred if possible and we may move to cash only in the future. The card terminal fees are SO HIGH cash will allow us to avoid these fees and retain more of the profit for the business and allow us to keep our prices low.
All small businesses would agree that CASH IS KING 👑
Thank you for your understanding and constant support of our little business!

The Dog Den Team! 🐾❤️

Dogs can feel the cold and can suffer from its effects just like humans, particularly when the temperature drops significantly, because while their fur provides some insulation, it’s not always enough to protect them from extreme cold, and factors like breed, size, and age can impact their cold tolerance; meaning they can experience hypothermia and frostbite in very cold conditions.
Key points about dogs and cold weather:

•Fur is not always enough:
While a dog’s coat helps insulate, it might not be sufficient in extreme cold, especially for short-haired breeds or older dogs.

•Breed matters:
Certain dog breeds like Huskies and Malamutes are genetically adapted to handle cold weather better due to their thick fur coats.

•Size impacts tolerance:
Smaller dogs tend to lose heat faster than larger dogs, making them more susceptible to cold.

•Risk factors:
Puppies, elderly dogs, and dogs with health issues are particularly vulnerable to cold weather.

Stay safe and warm ❤️

✨DOG ENRICHMENT ✨

Dog enrichment is important because it helps dogs stay mentally and physically healthy, and it can improve their overall quality of life. Dog enrichment can improve …

✨MENTAL HEALTH✨
Enrichment can help reduce stress and anxiety, and it can also help dogs learn to relax.

✨PHYSICAL HEALTH ✨
Enrichment can help manage a dog’s energy levels, and it can help them learn good habits.

✨BEHAVIOURAL ISSUES✨
Enrichment can help prevent or treat undesirable behaviors, such as excessive barking, destructive behavior, and escaping.

✨SOCIAL INTERVENTIONS✨
Enrichment can help dogs strengthen their bonds with their owners, and it can also help them learn to interact positively with others.

✨CONFIDENCE ✨
Enrichment can help build a dog’s confidence.
Skills
Enrichment can help dogs learn skills like problem-solving, searching, and agility.

We’ve put together a few ENRICHMENT IDEAS! 💡
