Fantastic idea! You will receive such a warm welcome and be able to have any questions answered! 💦💦💦

Would you like to learn a little more about how hydrotherapy can help your dog?🐾
Would you like to come and have a look at the pool?🐕

We are holding informal open mornings, afternoons and evenings over the next couple of weeks. This is a great opportunity for you to meet Jon👋, our hydrotherapist, have a look at our set up, discuss how hydrotherapy can benefit your dogs🐾 (or cats😻) and for Jon to meet you and your woofs.
Open to all, if you are an owner or animal professional such as vet nurses, dog walkers, groomers, please come along.

No appointment needed, just turn up between the event times. If you are bringing your dog, please keep them on lead outside and especially inside the unit.
If you have sensitive dogs that need their own space, let us know and we can arrange an alternative time.

This week we are open to all on;
Wednesday 13th between 12:00 & 14:00, then 16:30 to 19:00.

Well hello strangers! I just wanted to drop in and say hello. As most of you know, I’m no longer running this business and greatly miss it. The damn Big C means I simply can’t manage what I used to 😢 I have been thinking a lot about my past work lately and wondered if some of you might like to drop a comment, say hello and let me know how you are getting on?! I grew so fond of my clients and your beautiful canine friends and I’d love to hear how you all are! 🐾🐾🐶 I apologise that I haven’t checked in sooner.

An update from me - the cancer is throwing some challenges at me (as we always knew it would, being Stage IV at diagnosis) but I continue to have “Rebellious Hope”. One of the things that keeps me going is a little new venture I started, which is growing cut flowers. The perfect activity for me when I feel strong enough. If you would like to keep up with my flower antics and creations, please do pop across to 7 Florals and follow. I run various charity draws and giveaways, as well as selling some of my handmade items. 🌸🌼🎁

In other news there is a VERY exciting new development in Tavistock! A new hydro pool is opening, with a super experienced hydrotherapist taking the lead. SO MUCH thought and backbreaking work has been put into the set up of this new venture. From ensuring dogs have a safe off-lead outdoor toilet space, calming plants for dogs to sniff, a separate therapy room, refreshments for humans and a snazzy new shower room! When I was practising McTimoney, I so often referred clients to hydrotherapy. Such huge benefits for dogs of all ages. Go check out their page and follow. K9 Hydrotherapy Tavistock

Never in my wildest nightmares would I have expected so many loved friends and colleagues to be plagued with the Bas***d Big C! 😢🤬

For those of you that had the pleasure of attending one of Pauline’s workshops here in Devon, I’m sure you will remember her huge smile, big laugh and even bigger heart! This amazing woman, is now wishing to do something utterly crazy for charity and I would like to help her achieve this (even if it is bonkers 😆). If her consultant says “No”, the funds raised through this can go to a chosen charity.

I’m sure there are many of you out there who would happily chip in and help Pauline achieve this dream 🤗🤩💪🏻👊🏻💥 I’ve started the ball rolling, now who’s going to join me? 🙏🏻

PLEASE SHARE!!

My name is Rachel and I have set up this fundraiser to help an amazing friend … Rachel Watkins needs your support for Help Pauline to Raise Money for Charity

This amazing and beautiful dog is looking for a forever home. I have met him and can honestly say that he is going to make someone the best companion 😍! He had a rough start in life but this hasn’t affected his joy, friendliness or character! He is a large, smooth coated lurcher (and although not the size or physique of one, he does look like he might have Great Dane in him 😆🤔). He is great with people and other dogs but very full on! He is an absolute pack of muscle too!

An experienced home where continued training occurs is essential. At the moment he gets distracted and his attention span is short (unless you have a toy/ball). He is super responsive and knows all the basics. He just needs to learn that he has an off switch and that not everything needs to be done at 100 miles an hour 😂 Boisterous is a good description of his behaviour, with the typical jumping up and lack of awareness of space 😂 He would suit a really active home, especially with someone who would like to do an actual activity with him. Although home life, long walks and a play companion may well be just the ticket.

This young dog has a really super soul and character and it would be amazing to find him his perfect home. He’s a complete beauty 💚💚💚 Please share and see if we can get this boy out of kennels and into a forever home!

If you are interested in him, please contact the lovely rescue charity, Dogs Friends 😊

I know of an incredible 5yr old Vizsla dog looking for a home. 5 star home with experience needed. Cat free home essential and preferably in an area with a small cat population or where he won’t encounter them too often. The cat reactivity may be workable with in the right environment. Absolutely cracking dog in all other ways. Please message me for more information rather than commenting on this post 🧡🧡🧡🐾🐾
