Bark n Stay

14/12/2024

This weekend, we have the gorgeous duo staying with us while their Mum and Dad are away. They’ve been coming to visit us for daycare over the last few months so that they feel braver and more comfortable away from home. Well, they’re certainly settled now. They’re chilled out, and happy running around the house and the garden like they own the place 😂

Well done Yogi and Dolly ❤️❤️

We love morning snuggles with the beautiful 🤎🤎

These two are the masters of getting comfy. They’re experts in blanket craft and champions of snoozing 💤

We look after many lovely little dachshunds and every one is so very different - both in character and appearance.

Have a lovely frosty Thursday ❄️

🎄🐾 5 Tips to Keep Your Dog Safe This Christmas🐾🎄

The festive season is full of fun, but it can also be risky for our furry friends. Here’s how to ensure your dog stays safe and happy during the holidays:

1️⃣ Avoid Toxic Treats
Chocolate, mince pies, and Christmas pudding are off-limits for pups! Stick to dog-safe snacks.

2️⃣ Secure the Tree
A wobbly Christmas tree is tempting for curious dogs. Anchor it securely to prevent accidents.

3️⃣ Watch the Decorations
Tinsel, ornaments, and fairy lights may look fun but can cause harm if chewed or swallowed.

4️⃣ Keep Presents Out of Reach
Some gifts (like scented candles or food) might be hazardous if your dog gets curious.

5️⃣ Create a Calm Space
Christmas can be overwhelming. Ensure your dog has a quiet area to relax away from the hustle and bustle.

🎁 Keeping these tips in mind will help make the season safe and stress-free for you and your four-legged family member! 🐕💖

Meet brave girl Vivi 🥰

Rescued from Thailand, Vivi now lives with her dog parents in Swindon. Today is her first stay with us, but she’s doing so well. She’s still a bit wary of new noises, but she’s being a superstar 🌟

Vivi is certainly the rarest dog breed we’ve had so far - a
Phu Quoc Vietnamese ridgeback cross 🤩

Say hi to Vivi in the comments👋

We have the lovely Milo staying with us for doggy day care during the day for the next couple of weeks, whilst his Mum is away. This boy is our largest guest, but he’s super chilled and he’s getting lots of walks and attention.

His Mum has dropped off 11 delicious home cooked meals for him, so he is a very happy pup! 🐾🐾🐾

Hiya 👋

I’m Kate - 1 half of Bark ‘n Stay 🐾

We decided to set up Bark ‘n Stay after we lost our much-loved pups, Max and Bella. We were heartbroken and after a while, we realised how much we missed having dogs around the house. Rather than jumping straight into getting another dog of our own, we started looking after our friends and family’s dogs. Soon, they started recommending us to their friends and work colleagues, and it has just grown from there.

Here’s a few reasons I love what we do❤️:

🐾 Since February we’ve met over 100 families and their dogs

🐾 We’ve looked after so many different breeds, from Pomeranians to Bernese Mountain Dogs

🐾 We’ve helped lots of families with anxious dogs and dogs that aren’t suitable to be boarded in a multi-dog environment

🐾 We’ve developed some lovely relationships with our customers, who bring their pups to us every time they go away

🐾 I’ve realised that every dog guest we have is “my favourite” 🥰

🐾 We get the opportunity to give our dog parents peace of mind whilst they’re away

If you would like to register your dogs with us for your next trip away, drop us a message 💬

When you and your brother love each other soooooo much, you do everything together. Eat treaties together 🦴, chase dinosaur toys together 🦖, have zoomies together 💨 and sleep peacefully together 💤

Socks 🧦

Why socks?

Socks are missing, what’s the deal?
Dogs are on the prowl to steal.
Quiet paws and clever snout,
They’ll sniff the laundry, seek it out.

One by one, they snag the prize,
A wagging tail, no big surprise.
With ninja skills, they dash away,
To hide the sock for another day.

Under couches, in the yard,
Finding them will be quite hard.
They look so proud, their treasure found,
With sock in mouth, they prance around.

And though you chase and try to catch,
They always win this playful match.
For in their game, you’ve got no shot—
Your socks are theirs, like it or not!

The end 🧦

Time for the Autumn wardrobe to come out. Bring on the jumpers, hats, gloves and scarves 🧣🧤🧶.
