Having got to know the super guys at Leads and Love (Nicole and Matt) we are more than happy to share this news. If you’re interested please do comment 🐾🐶

🐾 WE’VE BEEN KEEPING A HUGE, HUGE SECRET… 🐾

And we can finally tell you… ❤️

LEADS & LOVE PET SERVICES IS GROWING! 🥹🐾

Two months ago, we received the most amazing email.

An opportunity. A proposal. Something that simply doesn’t get offered to people like us.

I was in absolute floods of tears. 🥹❤️

Because this isn’t just a business expansion…

This has been a childhood dream.

Something I’ve always dreamed about, never knowing if I’d ever actually be able to make it happen.

And now… it’s happening.

🏡🐶 WELCOME TO THE LEADS & LOVE PLAY BARN! 🐶🏡

We’re transforming an agricultural barn just outside Framlingham into an amazing doggy daycare facility — a true home-from-home designed around the happiness, safety and individual needs of every dog.

🌿 Outdoor play & enrichment
🐾 Dedicated puppy area
🛋️ The Snug for older & calmer dogs
🎪 Zoomie Zone for fun and enrichment
🏠 Safe, quiet spaces when dogs need to settle
🌳 Countryside adventures right on our doorstep

But we have a HUGE journey ahead of us.

Whilst the building takes shape, I’ll continue studying and working towards gaining all the relevant qualifications needed, alongside the training and qualifications we already hold.

And we won’t be doing it alone…

🔨 We’ll be looking for local tradespeople, skilled businesses and amazing people to help us bring this dream to life — from building, electrical work and plumbing to fencing, landscaping and everything in between.

We’d also LOVE to hear from you! 🐶

Would you welcome a facility like this for your dogs?

What would you love to see at the Leads & Love Play Barn?

Because this isn’t just our journey…

We want to take you with us every step of the way. ❤️

From a childhood dream…

To two incredible people believing in us and giving us an opportunity we never thought we’d be offered…

To an empty agricultural barn…

To THE LEADS & LOVE PLAY BARN. 🥹🐾❤️

Sometimes the biggest dreams begin with someone simply believing in you.

And we will never forget that.

The journey starts here. 🏡🐶❤️

The gorgeous Labrador Freddie came for an assisted swim the other day after struggling to find his swimming legs at his first visit with his owners. As you can see with a bit of assistance and help to gain confidence using the ramp he realised he could swim and actually loves it💦💦😎🐾😜

Massive well done Freddie and family🎉🎉

Found in Buttercup Field at the weekend. This obviously has sentimental value, so would like to reunite it with it’s owner. If you think it’s yours please let me know. There are a number of names engraved on the back, so I will ask you for at least two of those names to make sure it goes home to the right person🥹

Update: All back up and running!!

Just a quick update to let you know that our booking system is currently down.

They are working to get everything back up and running as soon as possible and hope it will be back online shortly. We apologise for any inconvenience and really appreciate your patience while we get this sorted.

Thank you for bearing with us ❤️

Buster would just like to let all the humans know that the fields are being mown on Wednesday to ensure those pesky grass seeds aren’t a problem for all our dogs🌾🌾🐾😎

The recent ridiculously hot weather preceded by a week of rain has led to the grass heads maturing earlier than normal🫣😬, so we have brought the annual short, all over cut forward by a couple of weeks.

As ever, we hope you all enjoy the fields and thank you all for being very sensible last week and sticking to early morning slots and late evening ones.

Many thanks
Debbie & Jane

With temperatures set to be in the 30’s until the end of the week, why not book a swim for you and your dog💦🐾😎💦

We have owner led swims and assisted swims available throughout the week and a few remaining slots this coming weekend.

Just to explain, if you book an owner led swim, we will meet you at the pool, and stay with you until we are certain that both you and your dog or dogs are swimming confidently and have worked out how to use the pool safely.

If you book an assisted swim we will be in the water with you and your dog. This is the way to go if your dog is a non swimmer. It’s also the best way to introduce any dog to the pool, even if they’re confident swimmers but have never experienced swimming in a pool before.

We offer two assisted swims each day….at 10.40 and 11.20😎💦🐾

The other eight slots each day are open for owner led swims😎💦🐾

We have dropped the temperature of the pool from 29 degrees to 26 degrees to make it more comfortable for the dogs and the humans during this ridiculously hot weather 🥵💦

Simply head over to the website to book a refreshing and fun splash😎🐶🐾

🐾 Just look at some of the lovely messages we've received on our feedback board this weekend! 🥰

We're so grateful for all of your kind words and thrilled to hear that both dogs and owners are having such a great time with us.

If you've been thinking about giving dog swimming a try, we still have a couple of owner-led sessions available today! 🐶💦

It's a fantastic way to have fun with your dog, build confidence in the water, and make some wonderful memories together.

Why not give it a go?

🐾 Meet Rosie! 🐾

Rosie is just about to celebrate her first birthday.

Rosie's family are already regular visitors to our dog walking fields, but this time they decided to give swimming a go.

After taking some time to get used to the ramp and building her confidence with the support of our float jackets, Rosie was soon jumping in and having the best time!

Rosie's mum had this to say:
"She had such a brilliant time, the facility is awesome and you were brilliant with her. Very patient and gave her the time she needed to get her confidence. We'll definitely be back!"

Watching dogs grow in confidence and discover a new favourite activity is one of the best parts of what we do. ❤️

Thinking about giving your dog a splash-tastic adventure? We'd love to welcome you!

Another sweltering couple of days ahead before it cools down a bit☀️☀️🥵🥵

With the temperatures so high, if you have a walk booked between 10am and 4pm, today or tomorrow we’re happy to reschedule them for you. We have some later slots available today and earlier or later slots available tomorrow.

Please message us if you’d like your slot changed. However, if you’re going to continue with your walk, please, please make use of the water available in both fields.

Buttercup has two taps and a paddling pool, whilst Willow has a natural pond, a tap and a paddling pool💦🐾💦
