A worthy and amazing partnership bringing help, support and just joy to Ayrshire. I have known and worked with Skittles, Maggie and her crew for years and am in awe of what they pack in to their days and lives supporting kids, the elderly, the vulnerable and more. I swear they must have more hours in their weeks than I do to pack in all of the amazing things they do. Please vote and share to make these Ayrshire Angels Crufts winners xx

So now that it's all official....
WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Our friend and client Skittles (along with her human Maggie) have only gone and made it to the final five of this year's Hero Dog Awards at Crufts 2026.
This partnership do so much amazing work in the community supporting children in schools and nurseries, the elderly in care homes, vulnerable people, arranging community walks and free training sessions to help wellbeing and mental health and supporting struggling families throughout Ayrshire, especially at Christmas time.
The Hero Dog Awards relies solely on public vote so please support our local duo and vote, vote, vote.

🐾 Fascinating Fascia — the hidden hero of movement 💪

Fascia isn’t just filler, it’s a dynamic, fluid-filled network that wraps around muscles, organs, and nerves. When it’s healthy, your dog moves with ease. When it’s not? You’ll see stiffness, twitching, flinching… even changes in posture or behaviour.

💡 Groomers, owners, therapists, you can help:

✔️ Gentle handling
✔️ Non-slip surfaces
✔️ Light massage
✔️ Movement breaks
✔️ Spot the signs early

Fascia matters. Muscle matters. Your dog’s comfort depends on both.

🔤 F is for Fascia 🧠💪

It’s not just wrapping ; it’s a sensory powerhouse. Fascia helps muscles glide, protects organs, and talks to the nervous system.

Tight fascia = tight dog. Release it and watch them move.
