Just a quick reflection on everything our businesses have achieved during 2023 before we plough on into 2024.
Canine Country Retreat, our small boarding kennels continues to be extremely popular providing a safe and caring home from home for all the dogs who come for their holidays or day stays with us. Although licensing rules have changed over the last 18.5 years our kennels has been running our ethos has never wavered ... to provide the level of care we would expect for our own much loved dogs. Having so many regular clients who bring their dogs back time and time again, book their trips around our availability, sing our praises of how well looked after and happy their dogs are and the fact we are often full several months in advance all proves we continue to achieve our goal of putting the dogs in our care first, that their health and happiness is our priority. Without our fantastic kennel staff who completely buy into our ethos and go above and beyond to ensure all our guests are loved this just would not be possible so our hugest thanks go to them ๐
Doggy Paddles has continued to provide hydrotherapy for many dogs each week all safely looked after by Lee for either therapeutic reasons or fun and fitness swims, spring of 2024 will be the 20th year since I first took over the hydrotherapy business and built it up from providing maybe 15 or 20 sessions a week to the very popular service for so many Island dogs we have now and have maintained for so many years. Our very many regular weekly and fortnightly hydrotherapy clients continue to maintain that hydrotherapy keeps their dogs fit, active and happy well into old age as well as the rehab cases who return to full fitness more quickly and easily with regular sessions and this is what keeps our enthusiasm for continuing to provide this very valuable service, it's far from an easy job but it is extremely rewarding!
And in addition to this our veterinary physiotherapy services The Vet Physio go from strength

After much planning, saving and organising our new very large, very safe and secure off lead paddock is finished so our kennel guests can enjoy plenty of freedom to safely play, run around or whatever they wish as extra exercise alongside their one to one lead walks in our private field.
Bobby is a long term boarder with us at the moment so it seemed right that he should be the one to try it out first, he certainly enjoyed himself ๐๐พ
