Back open as normal tomorrow! It looks like the peak of the heatwave has been and gone! 🥵

As always, use your judgement and only attend if you feel your dog can cope with the conditions. We have shade, we have water, we have some great sniffs, I know my dog will be very glad to get back out there! 🐾🧡

Whilst we have been closed, we have had a mow in the training section of the field! I was trying to do “No Mow May” for the bees 🐝 and the dogs love the long grass too! It’s great for keeping them cool. The little flowers were absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately, it was becoming impossible to find 💩 and some of the smaller dogs struggle with the grass too long! The main section of the field will remain long until May is over though 🌺 🐾🧡

🐕 safety and wellbeing at the forefront of everything we do, just as it should be 🐾🧡

This weather really hits our industry hard.

Over the last few days, many of us in the dog industry have had to make the decision to cancel classes, workshops, walks, training sessions, daycare activities and events.

As small businesses, every cancellation has an impact. We lose income, spend hours rearranging schedules, and often absorb costs that can’t be recovered.

But dog welfare will always come first.

No class, walk, workshop or training session is worth putting a dog at risk. When temperatures soar, our responsibility is to keep dogs safe, even when it’s the harder business decision.

So today, I’d love to shine a light on the amazing small businesses who are also putting welfare first. If you know a dog trainer, walker, daycare, groomer, physio, hydrotherapist, pet sitter or any other pet professional who has been affected by the heat, tag them below and give them a follow.

Supporting small businesses costs nothing, but it can make a huge difference.

Let’s show some love to the people who spend every day caring for our dogs. ❤️🐾

Good morning folks! It’s set to be another scorcher today! ☀️

🕰️ I have been running at reduced hours over the past few days, only opening for a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the evening and staying closed through the hottest part of the day. I will continue to do this over the next few days to keep the Paws in the Paddock Community safe 🧡 If you have booked a session, even during the cooler hours and you’d like to reschedule, please let me know! Safety first 🐕

🌳 If you are visiting the paddock, please keep to the shaded areas and keep play time nice and calm. Think enrichment walk rather than crazy zoomies! Use the hose, the paddling pools and the sprinkler to keep cool. 💦

Stay safe everyone 🐾🧡
