Some great walks with this guy over the weekend. He really is a lovely dog! 🐾

21/03/2024

It's been a busy few weeks. I've been on holiday so been pretty quiet!

Back at it this week with the lovely Oslo and Jasper keeping me nice and busy in this lovely spring weather we've been having 🥰

Oslo 🐾

22/02/2024

Lovely peaceful evening walk with Oslo yesterday.

It's not often I walk around Bole hills in the dark - I forgot how nice it looks 😍

29/01/2024

Already missing my early morning walks with Jasper! 🐾

16/01/2024

This came out of nowhere didn't it 🥶

It was a very snowy walk for Jasper and I first thing this morning ❄️

Lovely weekend having some crisp winter walks around the countryside, including with the lovely Oslo who is always down for a photo opportunity!

💥TECHNICAL ISSUES 💥

Please bear with me, I'm having a few issues with my emails and website this week. If you need anything in the meantime, please DM or WhatsApp me 😊

How we all really feel about being back in work this week 😴

I had the lovely Bert round again today to join me as I worked from home. Fortunately he loves a good snooze so just sat with me very happy on the sofa for most of the day 😅

That's a wrap on 2023!

It's been such a busy but incredible year, and I want to thank everyone who has booked with me from the bottom of my heart 🥰

When I started this business back in July, I never dreamt of having so many lovely customers in my first 6 months.

I can't wait to see what 2024 holds for Katie's K9s 🐾

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉

Calling all rabbit owners 🐇

I wanted to spread the word about an amazing bunny boarding business right here in S10. I have sent my rabbits here since I got them, and could not recommend Esme highly enough 🥰

If you're going away and need someone to look after them, please reach out to her!

Happy Hops

A week of wintery walks with Jasper 🍂

Jasper was actually my first ever 'customer' back in July, so it was lovely to have him back booked in this week 😊

The weather was somewhat colder than back then, but we had a great time!

I can highly recommend Dani as a dog first aid trainer, and this webinar she is putting on will be invaluable for all dog owners 🐾

Plus, all proceeds go to charity!

Take a look at the post below and I'm sure if you have any questions, she'd be happy to answer!

So many visits to vets are as a result of completely preventable incidents or accidents. With the cost of living on the increase, avoiding these issues in the first place will not only save you money but save the potential suffering of your pet.

In this 90 minute webinar, I will share the most common preventable injuries and how to avoid them including:

Stick injuries
Dental fractures
Nail injuries
Road traffic collisions
Burns & scalds
Toxins
Choking
Heatstroke

This webinar is priced at £20 per person and 100% of the money is going to the rescue dogs at Castlefield Dog Rescue in Ilkeston.

The rescue world is busier than ever with dogs being abandoned and surrendered in unprecedented volumes. Costs are rising and by attending this event you will be supporting their dogs in need of care and attention.

Please contact [email protected] or call 0115 932 2763

It's been a busy one this weekend 🐾

We've had dogs, cats and even rabbits! Nice to see some faces I've not seen for a couple of months, along with a few newbies 😊

The lovely Henry 🐶

Despite only being a pup, Henry is so well behaved and you can really see how his puppy training has helped develop him into a lovely little man 😊

I only have a small handful of weekend dates available between now and Christmas, so please get in touch soon if you need to book 🐾

07/11/2023

Just to let you all know, I won't be available for bookings from 23 - 26 November due to being on holiday! 😊

🐾 Bertie 🐾

This lovely guy was very brave with all the fireworks - he spent the majority of the time bringing me every single toy from his bed (I've no idea what he was doing to end up with this teddy wrapped around him here 😂)

He's come on leaps and bounds with me in the few visits we've had together, from being a little unsure to practically pouncing on me for a cuddle when I walk in now 🐶

05/11/2023

Classic FM has a great show on this bonfire night if your pets are scared of the fireworks.

I have a very anxious rabbit and since I've started playing this over the fireworks, he's calmed right down!

My other rabbit, on the other hand, is completely deaf so has no clue what's going on fortunately 😂🎆

Pets scared by the fireworks? Come and join us for two nights of calming classical music, in the musical sanctuary we call Pet Classics. 🐾

📻 Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 November, 5-9pm.

🐱 Mica & Apollo 🐱

While the majority of my work is with dogs, I do get the occasional feline customer. Here are two of my favourites, Mica & Apollo!

Typical cats, they would cuddle up to me so much when they knew food was on offer, but how could I resist 😂

Looking forward to seeing them both again in the future 🐾

31/10/2023

Great advice for the coming week 🎆🔥

TIPS TO HELP YOUR DOG THROUGH BONFIRE NIGHT

🧨Close windows and curtains and put the lights on.
🧨Feed your dog before the fireworks start.
🧨Comfort and reassure your dog if they want it.

PLAN AHEAD:

🐾Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise in the day.
🐾Ensure your microchip and collar tag is up to date.

🐾Create a comfortable space for your dog

I'm back after a lovely birthday weekend away 🥳

It's been a busy week with a few regular faces and I've absolutely loved it, even though our walks are getting much chillier now 🥶

My weekends are starting to get booked up in November and December, so let me know if you have any dates coming up you need to book and I'll do my best to fit you in! 🐾

🍂 AUTUMN DANGERS 🍂

I love this time of year! Crisp weather, going for a walk in the crunchy leaves. But do you know what to look out for when out and about with your dog?

Most dogs will just walk past things on the floor as they mature, however if you have young dogs they can be particularly distracted by new, tasty things.

It might feel like you need eyes in the back of your head sometimes, but if your dog was to eat anything hazardous it is important to know the signs to look out for.

This picture from The Dog First Aid Co. is a really helpful guide for all dog owners!

Evening everyone 👋

It's taken quite some time, due to my limited tech skills, but my website is now LIVE!

This week I've been working with the lovely Lauren Mcwilliams- Brand Photographer & Strategist to help with growing my business, along with learning about different types of content to post that you want to see. It's only day 1 and she's already given me the confidence to finally finish my website!

www.katies-k9s.co.uk

There are still a few teething issues, but please check it out, and let me know if you have any questions/feedback 😊

15/10/2023

Bert was very determined to get the treats 😂

11/10/2023

Had the lovely Oslo again today, which means one thing for us - rain 😂

Still managed to get out for a lovely walk around the hills though ☺️
