We've recently been informed about some unusual adverts, particularly related to UberEats, appearing to come from our page. However, we can confirm that there is no unusual activity from our account.

If any of our followers come across any suspicious posts that don’t seem to be from us, we sincerely apologise and ask that you report these posts and notify us.

We're currently investigating the issue and hope to have it resolved soon.

Our appointments often expand our understanding of the world and the diverse beliefs that shape our lives. We recently had the privilege of being part of the peaceful passing of Aphra, a beautiful 18-year-old Jack Russell.

As Aphra neared the end of her journey, her owner sang the Vajrasattva, a traditional Tibetan chant believed to guide the spirit through the transition beyond this life. We have shared the chant in the comments for those interested.

In Buddhism, death is viewed as part of the natural cycle of life, death, and rebirth. A key concept is the Bardo—a transitional state between death and the next life, where the soul undergoes reflection and transformation. While traditionally this belief applies to human souls, many extend it to their beloved pets, recognising that animals, too, are sentient beings and part of the same cycle. By chanting the Vajrasattva, Aphra’s owner sought to guide her through this transition, offering her peace and comfort as she passed through the Bardo.

The belief that our pets’ spirits continue on a journey beyond this life is both touching and comforting. It reminds us that the connection we share with them may endure, and through these rituals, we honour that bond while offering them safe passage to whatever lies beyond.

Aphra, may your journey onward be peaceful and filled with blessings.

Thank you to the Powton family for this lovely card after our visit to their gorgeous Peppa last week.

Our job is not always easy, but these tokens of genuine appreciation are so meaningful and make it worthwhile, so a heartfelt thank you.

"Hairy Henry"

Today, we had the pleasure of meeting Ralph, an incredible 18-year-old long-haired Jack Russell Terrier.

We always take time to chat with our clients about the happy moments they've shared with their pets. It helps us understand the life they've lived and brings some warmth and joy to what can be a difficult day. We believe every appointment should be special and doesn’t have to be filled with doom and gloom. It can be a celebration of your pet's life, revisiting those cherished memories – especially the cheeky ones – and having a little chuckle along the way.

Ralph was well-known in his neighbourhood for sneaking onto the local football pitch and nabbing a ball or two from the children. He clearly was a natural and his personal record was 16 keepy-uppies, which earned him the nickname "Hairy Henry," after the famous footballer Thierry Henry.

This weekend, we had the pleasure of meeting with another remarkable charity, Labradors in need.

This UK-based organisation is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of Labradors who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances. Their work is truly inspiring, and it was a privilege to connect with such a committed team who are making a real difference in the lives of these wonderful dogs across the country.

Plus, their tombola is always worth a shot—you're not only in for a chance to win some great prizes, but you'll also be supporting a fantastic cause.

Dear Friends,

We have a heartfelt request to make.

It’s truly heartbreaking to hear from people who say, after the loss of their beloved pets, "I wish I had known you were here." Many would have preferred to use our services, but sadly, they weren’t aware of us in time.

As an independent business, we rely largely on word-of-mouth and advertising to reach those who need us. Your support in spreading the word about our services would mean the world to us.

We would especially like to extend our gratitude to our new followers in the wider areas around Newcastle, Sunderland, York, and Leeds.

If you could spare a moment to help us, it would make a real difference:

1. Visit our business page - Paws At Peace - North-East

2. Click on the three dots at the side of the page and select "Invite Friends."

3. Choose "Invite All" – and you’re done!

In just 15 seconds, you will have made a significant impact on our small, family-run business and hopefully help us to reach other pet owners in need.

Thank you sincerely for your continued support.

Warm regards,

The Paws At Peace Team

This weekend, we had the pleasure of meeting the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People at The North East Dog Festival and we were absolutely amazed.

While we had always associated guide dogs with visual impairments, mental support dogs, and so on, it had never occurred to us that they also have a crucial role within the deaf community. Everyday things like doorbells, alarm clocks, and even fire alarms can obviously pose a problem for deaf people. These dogs are trained to alert them to all of these (and more) sounds and clearly play a vital role in safety and well-being.

We just wanted to give them a shout out to commend the amazing work they do and raise awareness of their cause! Give them a follow!

Top Tips for a great day out!

You've less than 24 hours left to get your early bird tickets! Don’t forget weekend tickets are not available on the gate - only on our website.
https://www.northeastdogfestival.com/northeastdogfestivaltickets

> Bought tickets? Make sure you have them printed or accessible on your phone for scanning. Plan ahead, our handy show guide has timetables and maps to help you work out where you want to be and what you want to see and do.

> Tickets can be bought on the gate with cash or card.

> Parking gates open at 8.30am and main gates open at 9.00am. Please ensure you take care on the country roads; this is a popular route for cyclists. Drive slowly once on site. Parking staff will direct you. No dogs to be left in cars in the general parking. Checks will be made.

> Some traders may not have card facilities so cash is recommended.

> Ensure you have suitable and comfy footwear as this is entirely field based.

> Please take a moment to think whether your dog will enjoy the festival; some dogs find crowds and noise stressful. There is still plenty to see and do without a dog.

> Dogs must be on a lead during the whole festival (unless under instruction in an activity). Please DO NOT use an extendable lead when visiting, we don’t want any doggy maypoles. Prong, shock/e-collars re not permitted. Don’t forget the welfare of your dog is your responsibility throughout the duration of the festival and they must not be left unattended at any time.

> When entering your dog(s) in any of the shows, have-a-go rings or activities you do so at your own risk. You must follow the instructions given by the staff/trainers. Keep in mind that some activities may not be suitable for all dogs, e.g activities that have a minimum age or fitness level requirement. We also ask that you consider your dog's temperament before undertaking any activities - if your dog has no recall and not normally off the lead; we wouldn’t recommend their first time being at the festival.

> Please take note of all signage on the day. The site is very large and as parts are a working farm all rules must be adhered to.

> Make sure you bring a dish and water for your dog, whilst there are dishes dotted around, as their human guardian you are responsible for your dog.

> If you are bringing children ensure you collect a blank wristband and write a contact number. Wristbands will be available on the main gate. Ensure your children are aware of the steward tent as a contact point. Please make sure your children are supervised at all times and are aware about dog safety.

and lastly....

Please be kind to our staff and we wish you a simply fantastic weekend!

Thankyou to our wonderful sponsors and supporters.

We're proud to sponsor the Richmondshire Pro Player U8s, who smashed their first Pre-Season match today! Similar to owning a pet, sport plays such a vital role in children's mental health, and it's amazing to see the team thriving on and off the pitch. We can't wait to follow their progress throughout the season.

Go, team!

Muffin was such a special boy, who had overcome and fought so many things in his lifetime. It was an absolute honour to care for him in his final moments. Rest in Peace, Muffin.
