We at Companion Academy are incredibly proud to be supporting one of our close friends as they take on the monumental challenge of climbing to Everest Base Camp. This adventure represents not only physical endurance but also the resilience and determination that aligns with the values we hold at Companion Academy.

Our friend, alongside their team, is raising funds for an amazing cause, and we’re cheering them on every step of the way. We encourage you all to support this incredible effort through the JustGiving page and help make a difference. Let’s show them what community support really looks like!

Best of luck to the entire team – you’ve got this!

Hope still needs your help - please share this post so we can get her the surgery she needs to have a happy life.
Hope came into us about 4 months ago and we were unsure if she was an XL bully breed but with an assessment, she was deemed not an XL 😃 so we were able to get her the home she deserves.
Well, she needs your help once more!
While with us, the vets picked up that she had damaged her cruciate ligament and she has been receiving physiotherapy for this here at the Centre for the last few months. On further inspection, our vets have now taken the decision that Hope will need surgery to correct this. This will be done by one of our partner referral vets. We need your help to fund her operation so we can get her fighting fit in no time.
Please donate if you can to support Hope and her next journey.

''Connah was fantastic with my little beagle, Piran. Piran had clearly had a happy time with Connah. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter who is not a friend or family and someone completely new to Piran, but Connah was great and made me feel completely at ease and confident that he was in safe hands. Connah was great at communicating and keep me updated with what they were up to, and he was happy to be flexible when my drop and off and pick up times changed last minute.''

''First time we have ever left our dog, we chose the pick up and drop off service, connah was punctual and friendly, dude took to him quickly and happily left thinking he was going for a walk! Whilst we were away Connah kept us updated on how dude was and sent us some fab pictures & videos, which put our minds at rest to see dude enjoying himself. Connah was even kind enough to give dude the opportunity to steal his cheeseburger one evening lol (Connah was warned haha) would definitely use again, thank you so much for taking such good care of him!''

''Connah agreed to help us at late notice when we needed someone to care for our 9 year old golden girl, Lola due to work. I was quite nervous as Lola is in the midst of stem cell treatment for bi-lateral elbow displasia and although she is the sweetest girl who loves meeting people, dogs, her walks and sniffs has needed to take things easier recently and whilst her treatment is ongoing - I needn't have worried, Connah was great, from the first communication and most importantly so natural with Lola who can sometimes suffer with separation anxiety but hopped into his bike trailer without hesitation. Connah kept us up to date with how she was all day and made her comfort a priority, giving her space when she needed and keeping her mind busy with some training games - so important when she is less mobile. Lola came back happy and bouncy and we would recommend Connah to anyone needing top quality dog care in the Taunton area.''
