Royston’s Doggy Pad

01/07/2024

The stars ⭐️are in, 2 years of hard work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars granted. 😁🐶.

I can’t describe how emotional this makes me feel. It started off with a dream 2 years ago, when Royston crossed the rainbow bridge and took a huge bit of my heart with him. I’m so proud I created this in his memory while also helping so many customers, customers that some, I can now call friends. 🤩

Being a previous owner I know how hard it must be to leave your beloved pouch with someone you don’t know and I’m truly grateful to you all for putting your trust in me and continue to use me again and again.

Thank you to my family who are always helping me and friends who I sometimes have a stress head at because working and running a business alongside a busy family life can be overwhelming.

Thank you all 🐶💙🩷

Now, had it of not been a Monday I would of definitely cracked the bubbles 🍸

The people behind the business.

Merry Christmas to all of my followers and lovely clients. Christmas number two in business, what another wonderful year. Thank you all 🫶

I have tagged a picture of my family and I because every one of them has helped me in some way. My children who show love and kindness to all our visitors 🐶 join me on walks and treat the 🐶 as if they are their own. My partner Warren who moves things constantly around in his work diary so I can make this all possible. My parents who help me out when I need them and my sister and brother-in-law for the love and support.

Finally I just wanted to say, I’ve not sent Christmas cards this year and instead I have decided to sponsor a Battersea Dog Kennel for a year. The kennel will provide warmth, food and toys for the dog(s) until they find a new home. My kennel will be called Royston 💛

Now for some R&R (with just couple of dog walks in between). I will reply to all messsges on the 27th. Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year ###💛🐶

Good morning, just wanted to add a post as I know not all my followers on here follow me on Instagram. My dad recently had a bad accident, was knocked off his pushbike. Thankfully he’s now home and recovering well. I think I have messaged everyone back but if I have missed your message or forgotten to get back to you then give me a little nudge. My diary is now open for 2025 😃and I have had a few bookings. I am pretty full now until the new year and I’m pretty booked next summer but it’s worth messaging me still as I sometimes have cancellations.

For any bookings made I take a 20% non refundable deposit at the time of booking to secure your slot. Full payment is due 2 weeks prior to stay or a cash payment on arrival.

I also offer walking and call ins (evenings in the week or Fridays and weekends anytime)

Have a great weekend everyone, in the sun ☀️🤔 xx

It breaks my heart 💔💔. If only I could take them all 😢

Urgent special home needed for this poor, broken girl 😢💔

Octavia is a 3 year old Springer who arrived with us in November last year. Unfortunately, she’s one of the most nervous dogs we’ve ever had at the rescue and she’s finding kennel life quite overwhelming. Even though she has made a lot of progress since she first arrived, she desperately needs a calm and quiet home to help her reach her full potential, as we don’t think she’ll be able to do that here. She thrives on having a routine and knowing what’s coming next, and she does stress out a lot if anything throws her. She has no malice in her at all and even when she’s in panic mode she never tries to hurt us, she just paces frantically and it can be hard to snap her out of it. Thankfully, these episodes have become less and less the longer she’s been with us and she hasn’t had one for a couple of months now. This is definitely because she’s settled into her routine here now and we literally do everything we can to keep her stress levels down.

On the brighter side of life, Octavia LOVES food more than anything and she’ll take treats off anyone she meets which is incredible for a dog as scared as she is. She also adores a warm, comfy bed which she uses as her safe space in her kennel 💗

Octavia will need an extremely patient, understanding and loving home with adopters who will do everything they can to prove to her that she’s safe. Everything will need to be taken slow with her not to overwhelm her, but we do genuinely believe that in a calm home she’ll come on a LOT faster than she has in kennels. She’ll need to learn all the basics such as house training and lead walking, but at her own pace. She may not be confident enough to go out for walks for a long time, so her adopters must be okay with this. The home must also be adult only with no visiting children, and there will need to be at least 1 kind and confident resident dog.

This poor girl is a project dog, and she may never be ‘normal’ .. but there has to be someone out there who will love her anyway. She really does deserve the world and more and our hearts honestly break for her. We just really hope her happy ever after finds her soon 🥺

Happy 10th Birthday to this girl 🐶❤️. Looking forward to seeing you in the pad soon 🐶❤️

Hey all, hope your all keeping safe in this snowy spell. It’s been mentioned it could hit -8 tomorrow so take care out there. 🥶⛄️

Just to let you know, if your thinking of using me for your dog boarding next year I’m now taking bookings for 2024. August is fully booked as is the last week in July so if you do know of any potential dates you want then let me know. I don’t mind provisionally booking slots until you know exact dates but please let me know if you don’t need it as soon as possible. 🙏🏻 I may be able to help someone else.

I will take deposits on dates that are booked and that’s non refundable if completely cancelled, however, I don’t mind changing dates if I’m given enough notice. I get a lot of enquiries and have to turn people away so as much notice as possible is appreciated.

Payment for bookings booked within two months of stay is due on booking and for stays booked in advance then the balance is to be paid the week before. (Any problem, say waiting for payday etc then just let me know) 💛

Daycare is to be paid on booking please. I will give refunds if it’s cancelled because of weather. 🥶⛄️

Thank you 🙏🏻🥰💛
Emma

Please note, any bookings for long stays requires a 20% deposit and for short stays payment is on booking. Daycare (Fridays only) payment is due the day before. Balances left to pay on bookings are due the week before their stay.☺️

Thank you 😊 🐶

I can highly recommend Kate and she’s just around the corner from me. Why not drop them in for a groom before they come and stay or after they have been 🐶 ✂️ 🛁

Is your dog going on holiday or are you planning a holiday?🏖

If so, in any type of boarding setting or going away with you as family, here’s a little something for you to consider.

Boarding:-Kennels, home boarding or staying with family and friends. Although these settings care for your dogs and are fantastic at looking after your dogs mental and physical well being. It is mostly likely that they will carry out very little coat maintenance, such as brushing, if any at all, for the whole time you are away and your dog is with them.

Holidaying with your dog:-It’s lovely to take your dog away with you either to the seaside or a place of outstanding beauty, but long walks on sandy beaches, in woodland areas, dipping or swimming in the salty seawater or woodland streams and ponds, although great fun, can take its toll on your dogs coat. Before we go away we have every good intention to keep up the brushing etc that we do at home but inevitably we never quite do the same as we are on a holiday too and it’s nice to get away from the same old day to day routine.

So why not make things easier for everyone involved, including your dog and to avoid a potential shave off on the dogs next scheduled professional groom by taking advantage of the following three steps?:-

🐾 Book your dog in for a professional groom in the days just before you go on holiday.

🐾If your dogs coat is clipped go a little shorter, just as a one off, before you go on holiday. If they are not going with you by the time you get back their coat will have probably grown to the length you are used to seeing them with anyway.

🐾Book your dog in for a bath, dry and brush out on your return to help get rid of any unwanted smells, knots and tangles that they may have collected whilst having fun on holiday.

As always, I’m more than happy to advise on the best plan for your particular dog and answer any questions you may have. Do not hesitate to get in touch, I’m here to help😊.
