Somethings don't belong on trees of any kind

You wouldn't hang a poo bag on your Christmas tree so please don't hang them on trees out in the countryside! 🎄💩

Bag it, bin it.

You may receive an email from either Petchip.network, Petchip.Network - Petchip Network advising that your pet’s microchip registration has expired and you need to pay for it to be updated – PLEASE IGNORE.

THIS IS A SCAM. The email comes with a link taking you to a page showing your pet’s name, microchip number, your contact phone number and looks very convincing. PLEASE IGNORE.

There is a list of approved databases on gov.uk: Get your dog or cat microchipped - GOV.UK
Typically you would only pay a fee on first registering your pet or if you contact the company to update your details. It is important to keep your pet’s microchip contact details up-to-date including if you move address or change phone number/ email address. Please contact your microchip provider to update your details.

Me time . . . yes, it's those few precious hours when it is possible to something not business related (even if it's only playing with the dogs or attempting to clean my house or reading), and while I might be on the premises, I am entitled to down time.
There are business hours and there are clearly published non business hours. We do NOT, under any circumstances, open for business on Sundays, which means we do not open the door to strangers . . . if people can't be bothered to abide by our business hours and arrangements, well, sorry . . . no - not sorry.
On other days of the week all visits are by prior, arranged appointment only. We all have tasks to do besides attending to callers . . . we have your pets to care for . . . we also have to pay attention to everyone's health and safety, for that reason have our appointment system and we have CCTV, yes Mr Chancer/Unkown Guy in black in the small black Peugeot we've got your pictures and your car registration number.

Please ensure that your pet's vaccinations are current (and the vet's signature and vax stickers are in the vax book) before they come in to board.
We have just had a distressing situation of having to refuse to board a pet as the vaccinations were almost 12 months out of date.
Licensing requirements mean we have to insist on vaccinations being current and our terms & conditions also state this. When bookings are accepted we state we need to see the pet's updated vax card. must This is not only to comply with licensing requirements but, and most importantly, this for the welfare and benefit of all the other pets staying with us.
