What a truly special day yesterday at the stunning Runa Farm! 🐾

It was an absolute joy to chaperone the adorable Archie, the bride and groom’s Dachshund, and Reggie the sweet elderly Spaniel belonging to the mother and father of the bride.
With the incredibly hot weather, our priority was keeping these precious pups cool, comfortable, and happy indoors. We found the perfect spots for some quiet time and made sure their “cooler times” were well-managed, allowing them to truly enjoy the celebrations without any stress.

It’s always such a joy to work alongside my amazing husband, There’s something truly special about being a husband-and-wife team, ensuring every detail, both human and furry, is perfectly captured and cared for.
(I’m proud of us and how passionate we are in making sure our couples have the best day!)

I also wanted to give a huge shoutout to the family – they were absolutely wonderful and made sure I was so well looked after throughout the day. It truly makes such a difference when everyone is working together for a seamless and joyful experience!

Despite the heat, we managed to capture some absolutely beautiful close-up portraits, especially with those dapper bow ties! ✨ It’s moments like these that truly show how much joy and love our furry family members bring to a wedding day.

So grateful to be part of such magical memories!

Ever wonder how we ensure your beloved pup stays calm, happy, and perfectly behaved on your bustling wedding day? 🐾

It’s more than just a walk in the park!

As a qualified veterinary nurse with over two decades of experience, we bring a deep understanding of animal behaviour and welfare to every wedding we chaperone.

This means we’re trained to:

✅ Spot Subtle Signs: We can identify early indicators of anxiety or overwhelm in your pet.

✅ Act Swiftly: Our expertise allows us to respond immediately and effectively to ensure your dog’s comfort and safety.

Your peace of mind is paramount. Knowing your furry best friend is not just looked after, but truly understood and expertly cared for, allows you to relax and soak in every magical moment.

What a truly magnificent day at Beamish Hall yesterday! ✨

We had the immense pleasure of chaperoning the wonderful Tag, a lively Springador who brought so much joy and the perfect balance of energy and calm to the celebrations.

Tag was an absolute star as the ring bearer, performing his duties marvellously! He was full of happy bounces when it was time to mingle, but settled beautifully during the ceremony and quieter moments.
After a day of being the most handsome boy, we safely dropped him off at a family friend’s house in Alnwick for a well-deserved rest.

So proud of this handsome boy! 🐾

Yesterday was pure magic at Lartington Hall! ✨

We had the absolute pleasure of chaperoning the sweetest pups, Coco and Poppy, who brought all the relaxed, good vibes to an already stunning wedding.

These two were super cute, soaked up all the love, and genuinely enjoyed every moment of the day!

After all the excitement, they settled perfectly into one of the pet-friendly rooms for a well-deserved rest.

So much joy in one day! ❤️🐾

It was soooo good to work with

Does your furry friend get anxious when you leave? 🥺

Separation anxiety is a real condition where pets experience significant stress when left alone, leading to challenging behaviours and affecting their health.

Recognising the signs is key!
Common Signs of Separation Anxiety:

🐾 Excessive barking, whining, or howling.
🏠 Destructive chewing (furniture, doors).
🚽 Toileting indoors.
🚶‍♀️ Pacing or restlessness.
💧 Excessive salivation or panting.
🚪 Attempting to escape.
🍽️ Loss of appetite when alone.

What Causes It?
Often linked to routine changes, past trauma, or being overly attached.
How to Help Your Dog Feel More Confident & Secure:

🤍 Gradual Alone Time: Start with short periods; make departures/returns low-key.
🤍 Safe Space: Create a comfy, calm area with their bedding, toys, and your scent.
🤍 Positive Reinforcement: Use puzzle feeders or long-lasting chews.
🤍 Exercise & Mental Stimulation: Ensure they’re well-exercised before you leave.
🤍 Calming Aids: Discuss options like diffusers or supplements with your vet.
🤍 Routine is Key: Predictable schedules help build confidence.
🤍 NEVER Punish: This increases anxiety.
🤍 Know Limits: Dogs shouldn’t be alone for more than 4 hours; arrange sitters/walkers if needed.
🤍 Consult Your Vet: Rule out medical issues and get professional behaviourist support.
Patience and commitment are vital. You’re not alone in helping your dog cope!

The atmosphere was pure magic – a fantastic party from start to finish, filled with so much joy and laughter.
