Just a quick note to all our owners for daycare dogs.

For day care drop offs on a Tuesday and a Thursday if you’d like your dog to be walked or taken to the park with everyone please can you make sure the dog is dropped off before 8:30.

Now things are heating up we will be walking the dogs earlier.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday for daycare are now offsite farm days where dogs will be taken off the premises. Your dog needs to be here before 10am and we aim to be back by 2pm.

If you would not like your dog to leave our premises at all when they are here for daycare please let us know.

We are also closed this Monday for daycare due to it being the long weekend.

Thank you from the team.

☀️Summer Grooming🐶

It’s warming up and now’s a good time for the winter woolies to come off and make way for a summer cut.

As we get busier our days are starting to fill up. Please remember to book ahead and not leave it to the last minute to get your dog in for a groom.
We are exploring the possibility of late arvo early evening grooming one day a week leading up to Christmas and would love some feedback on this.

Thank you all for your continued support and trusting us with your fur babies right across all of our services.

🐾Swimming Lessons🐾

Rex having his first swimming lesson.
Don’t let his short legs fool you, he took to it like a duck to water.

Ever wondered if your pooch can swim?

We offer one to one swimming lessons in our very own heated canine hydrotherapy pool.
This is a great opportunity for your dog to learn how to swim while under the supervision of a qualified canine hydrotherapist in a safe and controlled environment.

Swimming is a great form of exercise and especially useful in summer while it’s hot.

We offer stay and swim daycare packages as well as swimming lesson concessions.

If you would like to book your dog for some swimming lessons please get in touch.

🐾Grooming Availability🐾

As it’s heating up our grooming bookings are getting busier.
To avoid missing out on an appointment and to keep things stress free for Julia and Hazel as things start to ramp up, we kindly ask that all our amazing grooming clients please take the time to book ahead of time.
If you need to cancel or move an appointment please give us as much notice as possible.
We will do our best to accommodate everyone as things get busier.

🐾 Boarding for Christmas🐾

We have started to take Christmas bookings already and are filling up fast.
If you would like your dog in for boarding over this period please ensure you book ahead of time to save disappointment.

🐾Daycare🐾

We have extended our days to Monday through Friday for daycare we are in the process of organising a van for pick up drop offs and farm outings. This will also allow us to take bigger dogs on set days of the week. If this is something you could be interested in please let us know.
Also if you haven’t already completed our latest day care registration form given written consent to take your dog off site please ask one of our staff for a form.

🐾Daycare Dogs🐾

The days are getting longer and warmer and with that we are doing our best to ensure your dogs that come for day care are taken out for a run and some fresh air.

Today we went for an outing to my little farm where the dogs got to run and smell and play before being loaded back up and taken back to the Dog Box for pickup.

Just a reminder that if you haven’t already completed our daycare registration form for your dog which includes written permission to take your dog off site that you would please ask a staff member next time you bring your dog in for day care.
Thank you to everyone that has so far.

Here’s a few photos from today’s outing.
