HOLIDAY DOGS is a new local service designed to help loving doggy owners (like myself!) to find appropriate home boarding for their best friends. Most people nowadays prefer to board their dog within a loving home environment, maintaining their pets routine and ensuring they are happy and content as they are with you. This is, after all the perfect alternative to kennelling! However it’s not always easy to find the perfect dog loving carer who can offer all of these things – well LOOK NO FURTHER! Due to the increasing demand of home boarding I decided to set up HOLIDAY DOGS, with the help of my chosen dog loving host families. I am now able to offer more and more owners peace of mind whilst they are away from home due to holidays, work etc. Each of my host families are genuine dog lovers and due to their working commitments being extrememly low, they are able to provide your dog with the ultimate care & comfort, giving you absolute peace of mind, flexibility and security. Each host family are fully insured and have been carefully selected by Holiday Dogs. Call Mary-Ann on 07712 270415 for more information, or visit www.holidaydogs.co.uk

Holiday Dogs Group Walks (Sponsored by Hudson Signs)

Holiday Dogs Group Walks

Holiday Dogs Group Walks are designed to give dogs and owners a chance to meet and greet, and to basically go for a group walk together.  They are open to anyone, any age so come along (with a dog if you have one!) and help raise money for the Animal Health Trust to help with their investigations into Seasonal Canine Ilness.  Walks are at various locations around Suffolk and usually lasts around 1 hour to 1 hour 30 mins.  


Our next Group Walk is scheduled to take place on Saturday 12th May 2012 at 11am, meeting in the car park at Long Strops Entrance, Bell Lane, Kesgrave, IP5 1NB.  Dogs can be walked off lead for most of the walk, but will need to be put onto a lead while crossing Dobbs Lane etc.  The walk should last approx 1 hour to 1 hour 30 mins.


If you would like to come along then please call Mary-Ann on 07840 871547 to register your interest and to obtain a registration form.  Donations can be made on the day, all proceeds going to the Animal Health Trust.




Daisy's Walk, Rendlesham Forest
4th March 2012

The ever hardy group of dog walkers were not put off by the rain and all the dogs enjoyed a fun filled 90 minutes of running around and splashing in the water together.  As always they had a wonderful time walking through the forest and running in and out of the trees!


Again, all proceeds from the registration fees went to the Animal Health Trust to help them with their investigations into Seasonal Canine Illness, click here for more info on SCI.  So far we have raised an outstanding amount of £616 from just 2 walks!  Thanks to everyone involved and look forward to more walks during 2012.



Holiday Dogs Group Walk, in aid of the Animal Health Trust
4th December 2011, Felixstowe
Holiday Dogs and www.doghousesuffolk.co.uk organised a Sponsor Your Dog charity group walk to raise money and awareness for SEASONAL CANINE ILLNESS (SCI), with all proceeds going to the Animal Health Trust to help them with their investigations into this illness.

We received a great turnout today with lots of very excited dogs, and rather cold owners as we battled against the cold wind of Felixstowe, where we met at the Manor Terrace Car Park.

Despite the rather cold weather, a thoroughly enjoyable walk was had by all!  Thanks to Wendy from www.doghousesuffolk.co.uk who lead the walking route around the Languard Fort area.

The dogs had a fantastic time as always, happily running around together - little did they know they were raising money for the AHT to help with their investigations into Seasonal Canine Illness.  Altogether we raised £300!  Two dogs who were in the group today had previously contracted SCI  and luckily now back to health, running around and enjoying their Sunday stroll!





The next charity group walk will be held on 5th February 2012 meeting at 11am at the Butley Corner Car Park, Rendlesham for a walk around the Daisy Walk!  Call Mary-Ann on 07840 871547 to register your interest.
