I'm having a bit of a dilemma that I'd love your help with please.
I'm busy planning my diary and where to take the Doggy Treat Truck.
Up until now, I have tried to spread my trips round the island, but I am not getting the support other than mainly in Brodick and Lamlash. I'm not sure whether that is because people don't know about us, or simply don't need us.
My whole idea of starting the business came from us finding that there was no pet shop on our island. and we want to fill that gap so that you don't need to buy from off the island or online.
I have spent 8 years in the pet shop that we built from the ground up in Lancashire, seeing people's poorly dogs' lives transformed by swapping to a more natural diet.
Here on Arran, we have continued this ethos and we only stock products that are free from additives, preservatives, colourings and grain. The treats that we stock are from registered DEFRA suppliers and are purely dried meat products.
So here is my dilemma - the license I have only allows me to stay 20 minutes on public land at a time, so I need to know where you would like me to stop, as I would love to reach the whole island community, not just Brodick and Lamlash.
On private land, the 20 minute rule does not apply, so if you have any suggestions of private places that may allow me to park there for longer, I would love to hear them.
Please let me know your thoughts either in the comments below or privately in a message.
Thanks so much.
