CHANGES FOR 2025
Hi All,
Firstly, thank you all for your support and custom over the past years, it’s very much appreciated, and I have enjoyed looking after your dogs.
Unfortunately, I have had to make some changes for 2025 moving forward, for various reason, I cannot continue trading in the same, relentless manner, that I have been doing for the past 8+ years. 360 days a year for 16-18 hours a day, has taken its toll on me, my family, friends, and neighbours, in many ways, and can no longer continue.
I am taking a career “semi-retirement” break to give me time to pursue other opportunities, and, to give me time to keep up with my Dog Food business, which is growing well, but requires a lot of work and time. I am planning a big expansion and hope for growth in sales, which will require me to be more flexible in my schedule at times.
Regular Daycare services will be stopping as of 01/01/25 (or earlier if you get alternative cover sorted before that date)
As its only “semi-retirement”, I will endeavour to continue to offer boarding services on the dates shown overleaf, and may be able to accommodate your boarding requirements, outside of these unbanked dates, but I can no longer guarantee that I will be home and available, everyday, all year round. I do want to be free to have a few days away from home, if I can.
I have had to implement the first rate increase since I started, (despite all costs in life rising continuously recently), I have kept mine to a minimum of £5 extra per dog per night, which is still well under what some places charge, overing the same service.
I completely understand that this not the news you wanted to hear at this time, but it’s the only way I can see, to continue offering any sort of holiday cover for your dogs while you can’t care for them at home.
I apologise in advance for any inconvenience to you and your family these decisions (I have had to make), will impact your life, and hope that I can continue to help whenever I can,
Kind Regards
Mark, Mac, Meg, Mia & Moe
