Please always do your due diligence when leaving your dog in someone else’s care.
Licensing is there for a reason!

Places like Rover & Pawshake DO NOT check or verify whether home boarders are licensed but the respective Council can always confirm for you.

Opportunist boarders and daycare providers are popping up more frequently on social media in the Telford and Shropshire area. I’m having this conversation more frequently with potential customers about licensing.

Please, please remember that whoever you use to care for your dog they MUST have a licence and show it to you on demand. We all have a unique licence number so feel free to ask for it and then check with your local council that it’s a valid and in-date. If they can’t provide this it’s a red flag 🚩 🚩 and you should avoid at all costs! They are boarding your pet illegally and should be reported to the Council.

Equally, don’t be misled by being told the provider isn’t running a commercial business. This only applies if they earn less than £1000 a year. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that unless they’re charging £1 per dog that figure will be exceeded very quickly.

It’s my wish that dog owners should be as informed as possible on the legality’s of dog boarding and daycare. It puts you in the driving seat, allowing you to make the right decisions over who you choose to care for your beloved pet.

Life at ‘Chez Phillips’ over the last couple of days. There’s been playing, there’s been sleeping and a lot of love and cuddles in between😁

My phone has given up on me posting to my socials and created a reel for me!
If only my phone could make me a cup of tea too😉

It’s with completely broken hearts that Tony and I want to let you all know that our beautiful girl Binky went to sleep today at 11.47am, 17th Feb 2024 aged 7 years old.

She was diagnosed with lymphoma early Feb and while we knew we didn’t have long with her, she took a sudden downturn this morning and left us much sooner than we expected.

She chose her Daddy’s 48th birthday to leave us so she wanted to make sure we’d never forget, as if we ever could.

Binky came to us at 8 months old and was our ever-patient, good natured helper. Mama to all the pups that came through the door and the loudest snorer ever. Boy am I going to miss that noise!

Thank you everyone for your lovely words over this past few weeks. We are blessed to have a houseful of other people dogs to care for and not an empty home, which helps to soothe mine and Tony’s shattered hearts. 💔💔

I’ve put up some photos of Binks for you to smile over, doing what she enjoyed doing the most; sleeping, napping and dozing. ###
