I will be doing a collection & drop off soon as have some stuff to go already

🐾 URGENT APPEAL FOR OUR RESCUE DOGS 🐾

We are desperately short of suitable bedding for our rescue dogs and would be incredibly grateful for any donations. ❤️

We are currently in need of:
🛏️ Sheets
🧺 Towels
🛌 Duvet covers
🧣 Throws/blankets
🐶 Any other washable, suitable bedding that can help keep our dogs warm, comfortable and cosy.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to accept duvets, pillows, anything containing stuffing/filling of any kind, or pillow cases. Thank you for understanding. 🙏

We are also running very low on:
🥫 Tinned meat in jelly — any brand is gratefully accepted!
🧼 Non-biological washing powder — something we get through a LOT of keeping everything clean and fresh for our dogs.

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a huge difference to the dogs in our care. ❤️🐾

If you are able to donate, please get in touch with us at [email protected] or you can drop items off at the centre in Coxhoe.

Thank you so much for supporting our rescue dogs and helping us give them the comfort and care they deserve. 🐶❤️

Please share our appeal — you never know who might have spare bedding tucked away in a cupboard! 🙏🐾

🐾 SEPTEMBER IS ALMOST HERE! 🎒📚🐾

September means back to school and getting back into our normal routines! 🐶❤️

It’s not just the kids heading back though… I’m also back to college in September! 📚😆

If you need Breeds Apart Pet Care Services throughout September and haven’t yet sent over your dates, please do so as soon as possible so I can get everything organised and booked in. 📅

A little reminder too… we’ve had A LOT of last-minute cancellations recently. I’ve been very lenient with this (probably too lenient 😆), but unfortunately going forward I can’t always be as flexible.

We plan our working week in advance, and with me also having college commitments, it’s even more important that I know our bookings and schedule ahead of time.

Last-minute cancellations can leave spaces that I’m unable to fill, which has a big impact on the business.

Please remember to give as much notice as possible if you need to cancel or change a booking and, where applicable, our cancellation policy will be applied.

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support — it really is appreciated. ❤️🐾

Here’s to a busy September and getting everyone back into routine! 🐶🎒📚
