🐶💛 What a Busy Month It's Been! 💛🐶

May has been an incredibly busy month here at Hair of the Dog.

It's been such a pleasure meeting new dogs, welcoming trial stays, caring for regular boarders, and spending time with so many wonderful four-legged friends. From puppies finding their feet in a boarding environment to my regular guests making themselves completely at home, it's been a fantastic few weeks.

I'd like to thank all of my lovely clients, both old and new, for trusting me with your pets. It truly is a privilege to be part of their lives and routines.

After a very busy few months, I'm looking forward to taking a short break to recharge before a busy summer season ahead.

📅 Please note that I will be on annual leave from 9th–13th June.

Any messages and enquiries received during this time will be responded to as soon as possible upon my return.

Thank you all for your continued support, and I can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings! 🐶🐱🐾

🐶💛 Bailey’s Holiday Stay 💛🐶

Bailey has been having the best time during her stay with us.

With the warmer weather, she’s been enjoying her early morning walks and adventures over on the secure dog field, making the most of the cooler parts of the day ☀️🐕

She really is an all-rounder, loves a good chase, loves a ball, enjoys her enrichment time with toys around the house, and never says no to a tasty dental chew 🦴🎾

She’s even been enjoying her little grooming sessions with the brush 😍

It’s been so lovely having her stay and watching her settle into the home routine so naturally.

🐶💛 Benson Button the Cockapoo

What an absolute pleasure it has been looking after little Benson (aka Benson Button 🥰) recently.

For such a young pup, Benson integrated so well with his adult doggie friends and really showed how nicely he can socialise within a group. It’s always lovely to see puppies learning good manners and confidence around older dogs ✨
He’s got the sweetest little quirks, loved his snuggle time, and the way he would sleep on his back was just absolutely adorable 💤🐶💛
He really made himself at home here, and it’s been so lovely getting to know him and watch his little personality shine through.
I honestly can’t wait to see him again and hopefully be part of watching him grow up throughout his life 🐾💕

🐶💛 Resident Dog Spotlight – Buster 💛🐶

Buster and I first crossed paths back in 2014 at a rescue centre where I volunteered.

At the time, Buster was around 3 years old and I was still working as a hairdresser. After spending more and more time with him, I asked if I could foster him part time…and well…he became my very much failed foster 🥰

From the moment we connected, we became inseparable.

Buster completely changed my life. His kind nature, calm energy, and relaxed personality became my little bit of peace and comfort through life, truly my soulmate in dog form 💛

Fast forward to today, and Buster is now an amazing 15 years old.

Although he enjoys the quieter life these days, he still plays such an important role here at Hair of the Dog. His calm and gentle nature helps so many boarding dogs settle in, especially nervous or younger dogs who benefit from having a steady older dog around.

He really is the heart of the home here, and I honestly couldn’t imagine doing this life without him 🥹

Bailey the Frenchie 💛🐶

Bailey is very much one of our regular boarders here now and truly feels like part of the family.

We’re always a little sad to see him go home, but we’re already looking forward to seeing him again soon.

Bailey has the sweetest nature and absolutely loves spending time with our resident old boy Buster. It’s so endearing to watch them together.

He really enjoys the slower pace and relaxed environment here, making himself right at home with plenty of company, cuddles, and time to unwind.

It’s always such a pleasure having him stay with us 💛🐾

🐶💛 Oscar (aka Sausage / Roo) 💛🐶

It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to look after Oscar recently.

I’ve known him since he was just a puppy back when I lived in Harlow, and I used to walk him right through from his puppy days into adulthood. When his owners moved away, and later I moved to Dunmow, I honestly thought I might not see him again for a long time.

So it’s been incredibly special to reconnect through my boarding service and have him back in my care after all these years 💛

I can’t believe he’s now a senior boy, but he really hasn’t changed one bit. He still has all his lovely little quirks, especially his routine with his bed and blanket, carefully covering himself up just how he likes it 🥰

He also absolutely loved spending time with the other boarding dogs while he was here, settling in so well and enjoying the company 🐕

It truly felt like no time had been lost at all, and it’s been such an honour to look after him again after so long.

I really hope to see you again soon, Oscar 💛🐾

🐶💛 Dudley – Part of the Furniture!

Dudley is fast becoming a bit of a resident boarder here, and we absolutely love having him!

He thrives on human company and is never far from where the action (or the cuddles!) are 🥰

His favourite part of the day has to be his walks on the field with all his doggy friends, lots of exploring, social time, and happy wagging tails 🐕

Such a lovely boy to have around, and always a joy to care for 💛

See you again soon, Dudley!

🐶💛 Lola’s Stay with Us 💛🐶

It was so lovely having Lola stay, such a sweet senior girl.

Lola can experience a little anxiety, but after her trial and really getting to understand what she needs, we were able to create the perfect set-up for her here. And it truly paid off.

She settled in beautifully, enjoyed her gentle strolls on our secure dog field, and cohabited really well with the other dogs staying all at her own pace, just how it should be.

It’s always so rewarding seeing a dog relax and feel comfortable in a home environment, especially when they need that little bit of extra understanding.

Already looking forward to seeing you again in June and July for more little adventures together 🐕💕

🐱💛 Back with My Lovely Cat Crew! 🐢

So nice to be back with my lovely gang Smudge, Coby, Rolo & Albus.

They’ve all settled back into our routine so well, and it’s been a joy spending time with them again. Smudge has really taken to me this time round and is absolutely loving all the fuss and attention 🥰

And the best part…I finally got to spend some time with Sheldon the tortoise, who is now fully out of hibernation and enjoying the spring sunshine 🐢

It’s been so lovely getting to know him too!

Such a gorgeous little group, I always enjoy my time with them 💛🐾

🐶💛 Esme & Patsy’s Trial Stay 💛🐶

I absolutely love Labradors, especially rescue ones, so it was such a pleasure having Esme & Patsy stay for their trial.

These two lovely girls settled in from the moment they walked through the door, like they’d been here forever!

They had a great time over at the secure dog field, enjoying a good play and even meeting one of my walking dogs, Wilber.

Patsy is all about the balls and toys 🎾 always ready for a game, while Esme is all about the fuss and cuddles, soaking up all the love she can get.

Both girls are incredibly affectionate and such a joy to have around. I’m already really looking forward to having them back for their boarding stay.
