Heather & The Hounds

09/09/2024

Utterly heartbroken to say that Georgie passed over the rainbow bridge on Saturday morning after a short battle with cancer. She was the silliest and sassiest girl who I had the honour of living with for two and a half years.

Thank you G for always bringing me welcome home presents, always protecting the house from those pesky foxes and cats and for always cheering me up when it was most needed. Truly one of kind, you’ve no idea how much you’ll be missed.

Keep that tail wagging gorgeous girl 🤍🤎🤍

Three years, lots of dogs and a lot of steps later… 👣🐾🐾

Three years ago today I made one of the best (and slightly daunting) decisions to start Heather & The Hounds 💙

It’s not always been easy and for a while at the beginning I worried I’d never have have enough clients to make it work. Now I’m bursting at the seams with beautiful doggos and equally wonderful owners. THANK YOU to my clients, those who were there from the beginning and those who have joined me along the way, for trusting me with your fur babes, they make me so happy every day 🥰

Here’s to many more walks, cuddles and ball throwing 🕺🎾💙

🤍 Robbie 🤍

It is with the most broken of hearts that I have to let my wonderful Heather & The Hounds family know that my original best boy Robbie passed away on Tuesday morning.

I know so many of you loved seeing his pictures and videos when I went home and I can honestly say if it wasn’t for Rob I probably wouldn’t be doing what I do now. Thank you so much to everyone this week who’s given cuddles and condolences - the pups especially have been helping me a lot.

Thank you Robbie for making my love of dogs so humongous that it’s become my life. Always the original Heather’s Hound, sleep tight my boy. 💙🐾

Heather & The Hounds is 2! ✌🏻

Two years ago today I started out on this wonderful adventure that really has changed my life for the better. What started with pandemic fuelled unemployment, turned a wee idea into a job which makes me so happy everyday. 🥰

THANK YOU, to all my amazing clients for trusting me with their beautiful fur babies, I couldn’t do this without your support. 💙🐾

Here’s to the next two! 🥳

Remember, remember the 5th November! 🎆

For some doggos it’s one they’d rather forget! Here are some top tips from RSPCA (England & Wales) on how to keep your furry friends a little bit happier over firework season…

✨ wall your dog during daylight hours to avoid times when fireworks are likely to be set off
✨ give your dog a safe haven in a quiet part of your home, filled with toys and other things that they enjoy
✨ close windows & curtains to muffle sound & blackout your doggy safe haven so they can't see flashes outside
✨ put on some music or TV to mask the firework sounds - Classic FM is doing a special programme on Friday & Saturday from 6pm!! 🎶

Head over to www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/general/fireworks for more tips, info and longer term solutions for a fear of loud noises.

Have fun and stay safe pooches! 💙🐾

Who you calling a ‘scruffo’?! 🤨

08/07/2021

A dog’s sense of smell is approximately 100,000 times better than a human’s and they can smell things such as fear. When a human is fearful, they perspire, and a dog is easily able to pick up on this change!

How clever are our furry friends?! 🥰💙🐾

Say hello to this clumsy cutie, the lovely Lola 🐶💙🐾

It’s been one whole year since I set up Heather & The Hounds and I’d like to say a huge thank you to all my beautiful puppers and equally wonderful owners who’ve helped make this little dream a reality. Also thank you to my friends and family who encouraged and supported me - I feel incredibly lucky to be doing something I love so much every day and I can’t wait to see what year two holds for Heather & The Hounds 💙🐾
