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

Puppy Group Kesgrave

A new puppy group has been  formed to help young pups socialise together in a fun and relaxed environment.  Rachael from 'Talking Paws' will attend each session to give help, advise and answer any questions you may have.  It's all completely free and will take place on Sundays at 10am.  There will be a block of 4 weekly sessions lasting 30 minutes each.

There will be 15 minutes talk with Rachael for lots of practical advise to set you on the right path to having a happy and relaxed pup!   There will also be a 15 minute puppy playtime and a little walk together.

Due to the popularity of the puppy groups, we are now offering another block of 4 sessions starting Sunday 30th October.  Please note that spaces are limited so contact Mary-Ann on 07840 871547 to reserve a place.

Please note that the next session will be on Sunday 16th October at a different time of 11:30am.

The Puppy Group got together for the first time today, and what a lot of fun we all had! The weather was just perfect, lots of warm sunshine to put a smile on all our faces and of course the puppies had a wonderful time together.


Two owners of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels were amazed when they found that both their pups were from the same litter - the two brothers reunited by having a fun roll around together, re-capturing their fun play times!

The focus on today's session was based on learning more about the dog's body language to help owners understand their puppies in greater detail, and of course to allow them to socialise in a relaxed environment.  Rachael from Talking Paws was able to provide lots of useful advise and answered questions from owners to help them achieve a happy and content puppy!


We are all looking forward to meeting up again next sunday for some more invaluable advise and for some fun socialisation!
