Wishing all of our clients a wonderful belated Merry Christmas from us and our own fur family. We had our own pet emergency yesterday with Alaska going to Helmsley vets for 3 very nasty hot spots, one which was massively oozing and starting to bleed. Thankfully she's picked up and back on her food today 😊

Please be mindful with pets outdoors over the coming days/ weekend

UK Storm Update.⚠️⚠️.

Storm DARRAGH has now been declared for Saturday. Significant impacts from wind & rain are likely across much of the UK.
This will be an exceptionally SLOW moving storm. This means that the affects from severe winds will be increased.
The storm is now forecast to take the more northerly track; introducing severe winds of 60-80mph for much of central & western England, Wales and Ireland.
Winds will increase to severe gale force for much of Ireland on Friday evening. Wind speeds of 70-80mph will affect Ireland widely from around 10pm on Friday, this lasting much of the night.
Winds will reach severe gale force for SW England and Wales from around 1am on Saturday, this lasting through much of Saturday morning. Wind gusts of 70-80mph are likely widely here, even inland. Wind gusts of 80-90mph are likely on coasts here.
This will likely result in significant and widespread travel disruption, and significant damage.
Winds will then increase between 7am and 1pm through the West Midlands, the Bristol Channel, the coasts of NW England, and the South Coast, widely reaching gusts of 60-70mph. This will likely result in similar disruption.
A second swathe of strong winds is then likely in the afternoon across the East Coast of England, from North Yorkshire into Lincolnshire, potentially affecting East Anglia and the South East. This may produce wind gusts of 60-75mph. However, there is some uncertainty about the wind speeds forecast here, wind speeds in the range of 55-75mph may occur.
The rest of England, including the Midlands, central Northern England are likely to see wind gusts of 50-60mph widely. This will likely result in moderate travel disruption. There will be significant rainfall from this event. Most areas will see between 20-40mm, however parts of inland Wales and the Pennines may see 60-70mm. This will likely result in flooding in these areas.

Seen this and felt it was worth a share if it keeps more pets safe this season. Don't forget to check what other food and plant items are also dangerous this time of year as its can often end up being a busy time for vets with accidental consumption of toxins!

How do your pets react to the Christmas tree? Or is it too early to ask 😅

Just a little update to say we are 100% open and always have been. We noticed today google stated we are permanently closed which has never been the case. Unfortunately we do not know if this was an honest mistake or malicious that someone has edited our listing but we are here to help with your pets.

*we are currently full for dog walking however do have pet sitting spaces available. If you are looking for pet sitting over the festive season please get in touch ASAP as we do get booked up quick!

Beautiful Bea utilises our pop in pet sits to break up the day so she can have an opportunity to toilet along with some love and attention, playing and of course treats...

What a delight it was to look after George and Billy the Maine C***s. A breed we have much experience with from having our own previously and we must say these gentle giants were a joy to provide care for whilst they were left for the first time for a longer duration by their owners. We made sure they had the pleasure of human company, a gentle brush, play stimulation with toys, fresh food and water and cleaned litter trays. This allowed them to stay in their own familiar home with all the home comforts 😻

"You may have noticed we are pretty quiet on social media for Pooch Pals! Life can be quite chaotic with 3 little ones, running the physical operations of Pooch Pals plus taking care of our own animals! So we thought we'd hop on and quickly reintroduce ourselves! Holly and Fabian are the owners of Pooch Pals along with assistance with Anne and Martyn. We are all experienced animal handlers, work closely with other professionals when needed and we are also INSURED! Pooch Pals has been running since 2011, taking care of Pickering and surrounding areas pets, from small rodents, chickens, cats, dogs all the way up to horses.

We now have a new addition to our team! Bluey is our lovely new rescue puppy who has joined our family all the way from Romania. Despite her past she is incredibly well socialised, friendly and playful with both humans and dogs. Being part husky she can get pretty energetic so you might just see her joining in for some Pooch pals walks!

Thank you so much for your continued support and if you have any questions feel free to send us a message!

Love getting to know all our dogs we look after. And how we have spent many years watching them grow.

Just look at them eyes 🥺 like butter won't melt. Or is it a treat behind the camera that she desperately wanted 😉.
