🐾POLITE NOTICE🐾

To help keep everyone safe and ensure your dog’s stay runs smoothly, please take a moment to read the following:

Dogs on Leads
All dogs arriving at or leaving the kennels must be kept on a lead before leaving your car and until safely back inside it. This helps keep your dog safe in the car park and ensures the safety of other dogs and owners.

Collars & ID Tags
Please ensure your dog arrives wearing a well-fitting collar with a current ID tag, as required by law.

Cleaning Up After Your Dog
Please pick up after your dog if they toilet in the car park or surrounding areas. We are happy to dispose of any bagged waste for you. If you don’t have a poo bag, simply let a member of staff know and we’ll gladly clean it up using our scoop.

Late Collections
We understand that delays happen – traffic, meetings running over, or even the sat nav taking you the scenic route! If you’re running late, please give us a call and leave a message to let us know your estimated arrival time. We’re often able to wait a little longer if we know you’re on your way. However, if we haven’t heard from you, we may have left once our opening hours have ended.

Extending Your Dog’s Stay
As we become busier, kennel spaces are becoming more limited. When you check your dog in, we’ll confirm your collection date. If your plans change and you need your dog to stay longer, please let us know as soon as possible—ideally before your scheduled collection day. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee availability for additional nights, as we may already have bookings from other customers.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Your help allows us to provide the best possible care for all of our guests

🐶 🐑 Dogs and livestock laws 🐶 🐑

Spring has sprung and with that new laws have come into force across England & Wales to better protect livestock and they’re much stricter than before.

From 18th March 2026

🐑 More animals are protected 🐴
The law now clearly covers a wider range of livestock, including animals like alpacas and llamas, alongside sheep, cattle, horses and poultry.

🌿 What this means for dog walks

🐾 Keep dogs on a lead around livestock
🐾Follow countryside signage
🐾Ensure reliable recall before letting dogs off lead
🐾Give fields with animals plenty of space

As a small family farm with our own livestock this is a shout out,
let’s all do our part to keep dogs, farmers, and animals safe ❤️

🐾Good morning to all our lovely customers please see changes to our prices below 🐾

⭐️ these new prices start from 1st April⭐️

Good morning to all!

This isn’t one of our normal posts we would do, but seeing as we are all dog lovers I would like to show you all handsome Bodhi.

Bodhi is a 4 year old desert dog also known as a Wadi dog
he’s an incredibly loving and affectionate dog that loves cuddles and human interaction.
He’s very good on lead doesn’t pull or tank off. He’s good with livestock on lead but he would need a little work off lead as he has shown some interest in the sheep and horses that graze our paddocks next to our exercise runs. This is not to say he actually chase them when loose but I wouldn’t want to risk it for his safety until he has settled into a routine of seeing livestock regularly.
He is fully house trained.
He is a little anxious so would benefit with 1:1 training to start with, as once you get to know him you can’t help but fall in love with him.

He can be snappy toward other dogs in close proximity so we are unsure if this is just an anxious reaction or he genuinely does not get along with other dogs because of this he would probably suit an only dog home.
He will need an active home, preferably someone who loves long walks and adventures.

He is currently staying with us until rescue dogs 4 life Somerset and Wiltshire can find him the perfect home.

If you are interested in Bodhi please please do reach out to
Lyn on 07974 411573
or
Kim on 07938 468752
