Introducing

 Playful Paws, encourage better and more responsible pet ownership. Going away on holiday or just leaving to do a long shift at work can be stressful enough without the guilt of leaving your pets behind playing on your conscience! Here at Playful Paws, our excellent standard of pet services doesn’t come at a high price. We also appreciate that all circumstances are different and that everyone (and their pets!) have different requirements, that’s why we’ve worked hard to tailor a great range of services that can tick all the boxes when it comes to caring for your pet. We are flexible and will do all that we can to provide you with the perfect service, all you need to do is ask!

Thankyou to everyone who came to the open day. Even though the weather wasn't the best the rain managed to hold off till the last half hour. Thankyou to our fantastic demo dogs, Callum, Ecco, Branston (who did 2 demos) and his sister Gwena for volunteering to show how we swim new dogs. You all had great fun I'm sure. A big thankyou to the ladies selling cakes and drinks especially Nadya for such a wonderful job. We managed to raise £60 for the villlage Pre-School from drink and cake sales so a big thankyou to all. I hope eveyone enjoyed the day as much as Nicola and I did and I am sure we will have another one next year. 
Take care and see you soon.

We are hoping to hold an open day in September so I will keep you posted, and if anyone is on face book we have our own page so check out  DIP YOUR PAWS.

I am pleased to say I have been accepted by NARCH which is the National Association for Registered Canine Hydrotherapists. They are a new association who are trying to help regulate pools and their staff to ensure you are being given the best and most professional care whilst at our hydro pools. for more information please visit their website at: www.narch.org.uk

I apologise for the very late congratulations to all our Doggies who entered Crufts this year 2010, well done to you all.

Just a quick thankyou to all those who sponsored us. Nicola and I managed to raise £200 for the Anthony Nolan Trust toward Bone Marrow research and Leukaemia

THANK YOU ALL
