Sharing for our planet (and our dogs!) 🌱🌏
At Galashiels Doggy Daycare, we’re always looking for ways to care for our dogs and the environment. That’s why, for the last 4 years, we have offered a simple, feel-good sharing program for our daycare families.
If you have dog items your pup no longer uses, maybe they’ve outgrown a harness, upgraded a bed, or lost interest in certain toys - you’re welcome to bring them in. We’ll gift those items to another dog who can safely use and enjoy them.
♻️ How it works:
Bring in gently used dog items (collars, harnesses, coats, toys, etc.) No money changes hands — this is purely a gift. Items are then shared with other dogs who are a good fit.
♻️ Why we do this:
To reduce waste, keep usable items out of landfills & to encourage reuse instead of buying new. The scheme also helps our daycare community support one another.
It’s a small action that makes a big difference for the planet, for our pups, and for our community. Thank you for helping us make dog care more sustainable! 💚🐾
So far we have recycled & regifted:
42 jackets
28 harnesses
15 dog collars
12 drying robes
9 dog leads
6 bags of food
3 beds
2 crates
& lots & lots of toys 🧸🌏
