Call Directions Website

SWAT Pets Home-from-home dog boarding and doggy daycare for calm, small doggies (cuddles & snuggles included) - in and around the Forest of Dean / Wye Valley area.

Caring for your pets, like a member of our family. With only small dogs around, we're sure that your pet(s) can come and stay with us, without the worry of being bullied or 'bowled over' by anything large. We cannot accept any dogs that are knee height or more. Furthermore, we will also preclude Rottweilers, Staffies (or crosses) or any type of 'snow dog'. There is a growing list on our website in the lower third of this page https://www.swatpets.co.uk/pet-boarding

Let us look after your dogs whilst you're away, be it for a few hours or a few weeks. Don't put your dogs into kennels where they will be kept in cages for the duration of your absence. Let them come and stay with us and roam the house, playing with our doggies. We promise to feed them, walk them and pamper them as if they were our own - and then return them to you when you return. We will ensure that your animals are walked (on or off the lead, as per your instructions) when they are staying with us, and played with throughout the day. Most importantly, we will NEVER let your dog be alone (unless it's for an absolute emergency). Please note that we have cats in our house, but they are not bothered by the presence of dogs and are kept seperate. If you don't want to have your dog stay with us, we can arrange to stay at your house if this is better for you. We can also offer a "Pet Taxi" service, taking your animal to any medical appointments that they have; if the appointment is local or further afield, we will be able to help. As we have our own animals, our house is already "dog-proof" with a secure rear garden. Furthermore, our vehicle has a secure cage in the rear to ensure the safety of all animals in transit. We have full UK driving licences which are clean, and have held these for over 30 years each. We also have completely clear criminal records. Should you have any questions, including costs, please drop us an email on [email protected]

Ivy visited for the first time today; a beautiful blenheim that has NEVER been clipped and has the most beautiful long fur.

Unfortunately, as today was 37C outside (and it felt far more inside) she was overheating somewhat.

That is until she tried one of our a cool coats!
She LOVED it. So much so, that Jasmine was stalking her, hoping to steal it off her at some point!

Most of you will know we have a cat called Mouse (don't ask), and she frequently turns up for Meet & Greets - but has been absent for 4 days...
Happily I can say she has turned up, somewhat thinner and extremely thirsty; we suspect she's been shut in somewhere.

We just wanted to let those of you who've expressed your concern know, that she's home safe & well, eating like a trucker who missed breakfast, and drinking like a MATLO on shore leave 🐈

DOG SLEEP STARTLE REFLEX
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
For everyone out there that's ever come across this, here's the proof that there was nobody to blame. It's nice to know that there's plenty of evidence to back-up the dog isn't to blame, nor the person, just the circumstances sometimes.

As the saying goes "Let sleeping dogs lie".

When I typed it into my search engine (not the well known ones, and certainly not AI), this was the first link that appeared:

https://www.battersea.org.uk/pet-advice/dog-advice/sleep-startle-dogs

There's plenty of other links to choose from, I just picked this as it was from Battersea and most people have heard of the establishment.

Learn the steps to help prevent your dog from being in a position where they might be startled.

It's going to be hot in England over the weekend [and no doubt, other countries too].

Please be careful, think about some indoor activities instead.

Keep curtains closed to keep it cooler indoors.
