We have seen a rise in recommendations by a few of you lovely people for various services recently. Even 8 years into our work, these recommendations are so valuable to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to each and every one of you for the continued support we receive. ❤️

Apparently dusting off her training paws and revisiting some training we haven't done in a long time is exhausting.

Today we have reached our 8th Birthday.
Where have those years gone?
This year has been a hard one with some of our 4legged friends that have been with us since almost the beginning passing away.
We are forever grateful for the continued support our amazing owners show us. ❤️

Early pool party for these guys this morning before it gets too warm, whilst the fluffy boys enjoy the aircon indoors. Daisy is very pleased she has finally managed to convince Lottie to play with her.

What is your dog's favourite keeping cool activity?

24/06/2024

Probably the most normal pictures we will get of these boys 🤣😂. If you have followed us for a while you will know how they love to throw a funny face 😂.

Aren't these just the cutest boys on a Sunday Morning. 😍

🐾 We Have Spaces on our 2hr K9 Rec Social Sessions! 🐾

Looking for a safe space for your dog to run off-lead and make new friends? We have openings for sessions every Tuesday and Friday from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM for 1 Dog (your dog will be collected before the session and dropped home after, please send us your postcode when enquiring so we can check we cover your area) at the secure dog field K9 Rec.

🌟 Benefits of these sessions:
*Ideal for dogs that need off-lead time but have sticky recall.
*Supervised play and socialisation with other friendly dogs.
*Engaging interaction with experienced handlers.
*Opportunities for digging in the sandpit and paddling in the pool.
*Ample opportunities for your dog to explore, sniff, and mooch around off-lead in a secure environment.

These slots are perfect for dog-friendly and active pups. Unfortunately, these sessions are not suitable for entire males or dogs listed on the Dangerous Dogs list.

During these sessions, your dog will be under our attentive care, ensuring they have a fantastic time and are well looked after.

Prices start at £21.50. (Please note we are unable to cover Bridgwater areas. North Petherton is as far as we go in that direction at this time).

If you think this is something your furry friend would enjoy, ping us a facebook message :).

Not dog related but an important update non the less.

From today in England, all owned cats must be microchipped by the age of 20 weeks. The chip details must be registered on a compliant database in the name of the cat's keeper and those details must be kept up to date. Failure to comply means that the keeper is reducing the chances of being reunited with their pet if should be lost or stolen.

If there is a breach, an enforcer may serve a 21 day Notice and, if that is ignored, the keeper will then become liable to a prosecution where on conviction the fine can be up to £500. In common with the dog microchipping regulations, this is about the benefits of compliance rather than the detriment of enforcement.

An enforcer is unable to issue a Fixed Penalty Notice.

I can't believe how quickly this week has gone. Bit of a mixture of pics not all are from this week. ❤️

06/06/2024

Anyone else feel like the week has gone super fast?
We got to spend the day with Mr Bazzle this week before his little holibob. Isn't he a handsome little chappie 😍

03/06/2024

After a nice week off we are back to it today. Please bare with us whilst I play catch up on the admin side.

We will have some openings coming up for a couple of services so keep your eyes peeled for an update there but for now enjoy a very smiley girlie in the sunshine ❤️🐾

Learning how to be calm around livestock.
Being that time of the year when various animals are back in popular walking spaces it is easy to get caught out with livestock having full access to footpaths. Learning how to still follow instruction and to remain calm on the lead in such circumstances is a valuable life skill when you live in the country.

Do make sure you double check, triple check and check again that your walking spaces are livestock free before considering letting your dog off their lead.

Apparently the sunshine has made these all flirty and silly this morning.

Reminder we are closed 25th May to 2nd June.

When this little lady was a pup she was unfortunately spooked by someone getting into her space which unfortunately knocked her confidence and brought struggles of being near people and other dogs. This team have worked hard over a long period of time and had a HUGE success last week. Well done guys you have done amazingly well. Keep up the fab work ❤️🐾

We are absolutely heartbroken to share the news that Digby grew his wings today.

Digby has been our most regular pup since we opened in 2016. He very quickly became very much part of the family and Lottie's best friend.

We are going to miss this lovely lad so very much, his best cuddles, his crazy puppy play with Lottie and his friends, his patience with many of the younger dogs, his hilarious wookie noises when he got so excited you were back from the toilet or because he knew a walk was imminent are just some of the things we will remember him for. We feel honoured to have been part of his life for the last 8yrs and very much hold his humans in our thoughts through this difficult time.

Sleep well Digs, we will never forget you ❤️🐾

11/04/2024

Reminder we are closed 12th to 15th April back to normal on Tuesday 16th.
I have now sorted through all 2025 Boarding dates, for those already on our books there are some limited spaces available for single dogs. If any remain after the summer holidays then we will look to open our books to new pups. 2026 is currently only open to those on our books.

When the party for 1 gets a little messy 🤣😂. Thank god for the warm dog wash to get it all out of his thick coat.

26/03/2024

Reminder no walks tomorrow (27th March). Thursday and Friday as normal then no walks on the 1st April as it is Easter Monday.
Hope you all have a lovely Easter, remember to keep those yummy choc eggs out of reach of sneaky paws 😉
