Due to the fast changing environment we're currently experiencing with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the extremely difficult decision to cease operation in our current form. It is extremely heartbreaking and devastating to a small business like us, that relies so much on it’s community love and support, but also extremely important to us that we act in a socially responsible manner. We believe this is the right decision for us to make in order to limit contact and spread and give our health care system every opportunity to manage their resources.
However, we are committed to being there for our clients, many of whom are health care workers themselves and teachers, when and/or if there is a desperate need or an emergency so please contact us if you require assistance with your fur family during this time if they are home alone. Whether it be a feed, check in visit, toilet break or walk, we will be following extra hygiene precautions in these cases. Social distancing in all situations. The car will be thoroughly cleaned down with disinfectant at the end of the service. We will be using hand sanitiser before entering and after leaving each service (no changes here as we have to do this regardless due to handling animals). If we can do anything to help during this time please don't hesitate to ask and we can try to work something out. But we recommend no contact at this time, so if there is someone home that can assist you with your pets wellbeing at this time we ask you to utilise them.
There currently appears to be no risk of contracting COVID-19 from animal companions – so continue to give your pets lots of love. However, it’s wise to practice increased hygiene during this time and ensure you wash your hands before and after touching them. There is some risk that if you are infected, it may be present on your pet’s fur or skin and could be picked up by another person. So you need to make sure anyone who comes into contact with your pet practices good hygiene.
We will endeavour to update you with any changes. Stay safe, support each other and we look forward to seeing you all on the other side of this. Big love to all from Nikki & Tom
