Today, 1st June.
We're already halfway through the year... honestly, where has the time gone? It feels like Christmas was only yesterday!
If you're thinking about a holiday next year and would like your dachshund to stay with us, now is actually a great time to start planning. The dates always seem ages away until suddenly they're not!
One thing we've learnt over nearly 10 years is that dachshunds do best when they know us before a big stay. Even with all the cuddles, comfy beds, acreage adventures and all the attention in the world, some little sausages still miss their people.
That's why we're such big fans of trial stays and regular visits.
Some of our guests pop in monthly, others come for daycare and some stay when Mum and Dad have work commitments or a weekend away. Dexter and Gus, for example, stay with us every month while their owners work down at the wharf. By now, they know the routine better than we do!
The dachshunds that settle the quickest are usually the ones who walk through the gate thinking, "Oh good, I'm back at Dash and Paws!"
So if you've been following us for a while and keep missing out on school holidays, Easter, long weekends or Christmas bookings, get in touch sooner rather than later.
We're not really a last-minute booking kind of place for dachshunds we don't know. We like to take our time, get to know each other and make sure everyone is comfortable. It makes for a much happier holiday experience all round.
If you'd like to chat about future stays, send us an email at [email protected] and include your phone number. Bonus points if you've already filled out a consent form. 😉
After almost 10 years, one thing hasn't changed...we still love seeing our regulars charge through the gate like they own the place. ❤️🐾
