Putting our fur mums and dads minds at ease is one of the many services we offer here and it’s the relationships we make with all of our customers (2, 4 and on occassion 3 legged) that make our day fulfilling 😌 We are humbled to receive such kind words as below and it’s the small details and extra mile we pride ourselves on! We strive to be the best and your google reviews are always welcomed 🐶 🐱 💕 J x

“Hi Jade,
I just wanted to say a huge thank-you to you! It was so good knowing we could go away again and have our little holidays knowing Miss Rosie and Miss Suzie are safe and being cared for properly. 🙏🐶🐕💗
Being able to make the break from Miss Suzie for the first time ever in her 5½ years, knowing how dependent she is on me, was so stressful, but finally, I did it, thanks to you.
I knew from the first time I met you that they would both be in safe and good hands.
🙏🐶🐕💗”

Hi all, the Lornewood team are participating in Pawgust this month! 🚶‍♀️🐕‍🦺 This is a fundraiser for the Blind Low Vision NZ organisation who help support blind and low vision people and train blind dogs here in NZ. In doing so, we have set ourselves individual goals of how many kms we will walk in the month of August. As we all love dogs, we thought it appropriate to get behind this cause and we'd love for you to support this great cause with us. No donation is too small (or too big😊) and every little bit helps. My personal goal is to walk 300kms and I will be posting updates of mine and the girls progress throughout - we'll be out there rain, hail, sun or snow. So get behind us, click on the link below and donate (if you can) and follow our Pawgust journey! Remember, it's all for the love of the dogs🐶🐾💕
Thanks, Jade and the team x
