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

SEASONAL CANINE ILLESS (SCI) The Mystery Dog Illness

Information obtained from Animal Health Trust http://www.aht.org.uk/seasonal_illness.html


At the moment – we don’t know exactly. We do know that cases of Seasonal Canine Illness (SCI) are generally seen between August and November, that it can affect any size, shape or sex of dog and that it causes dogs to become very ill, very quickly.
The most common clinical signs are sickness, diarrhoea and lethargy. If you suspect your dog is showing symptoms of SCI then please contact your vet immediately. 


Animal Health Trust has recently received reports of cases from the Rendlesham Forest Area.  They are appealing to owners to contact them if they have walked in this location to help them with their investigations.
Please contact www.aht.org.uk/sci_questionnaire.html


Holiday Dogs Home Boarding www.holidaydogs.co.uk are arranging a charity group walk with the help of www.doghousesuffolk.co.uk raising awareness of SCI and money for the Animal Health Trust.  Meeting at the Butley Corner Car Park at 11am on 5th February, for a walk around Daisy's Walk at Rendlesham.  Registration is £5 per dog, please call Mary-Ann 07840 871547 to register your interest and to obtain a sponsor form.
