SWAT Pets

SWAT Pets Home-from-home dog boarding and doggy daycare for calm, small doggies (cuddles & snuggles included) - in and around the Forest of Dean / Wye Valley area.

Caring for your pets, like a member of our family. With only small dogs around, we're sure that your pet(s) can come and stay with us, without the worry of being bullied or 'bowled over' by anything large. We cannot accept any dogs that are knee height or more. Furthermore, we will also preclude Rottweilers, Staffies (or crosses) or any type of 'snow dog'. There is a growing list on our website in

the lower third of this page https://www.swatpets.co.uk/pet-boarding

Let us look after your dogs whilst you're away, be it for a few hours or a few weeks. Don't put your dogs into kennels where they will be kept in cages for the duration of your absence. Let them come and stay with us and roam the house, playing with our doggies. We promise to feed them, walk them and pamper them as if they were our own - and then return them to you when you return. We will ensure that your animals are walked (on or off the lead, as per your instructions) when they are staying with us, and played with throughout the day. Most importantly, we will NEVER let your dog be alone (unless it's for an absolute emergency). Please note that we have cats in our house, but they are not bothered by the presence of dogs and are kept seperate. If you don't want to have your dog stay with us, we can arrange to stay at your house if this is better for you. We can also offer a "Pet Taxi" service, taking your animal to any medical appointments that they have; if the appointment is local or further afield, we will be able to help. As we have our own animals, our house is already "dog-proof" with a secure rear garden. Furthermore, our vehicle has a secure cage in the rear to ensure the safety of all animals in transit. We have full UK driving licences which are clean, and have held these for over 30 years each. We also have completely clear criminal records. Should you have any questions, including costs, please drop us an email on [email protected]

It's going to be hot in England over the weekend [and no doubt, other countries too].

Please be careful, think about some indoor activities instead.

Keep curtains closed to keep it cooler indoors.

With small dogs, it's especially important we keep a close eye on our charges temperature.
There's less body mass, so if they start to be affected, it's time to act.

Use this handy chart, courtesy of our friends at The Barking Bugle, to see whether the weather isn't suitable.

Brr, it’s chilly out there today! ❄️🐾 We thought this little chart might be helpful—how cold we feel isn’t just about the weather; it can also depend on our size, age, and health.
It’s been a bit nippy for me, so I’ve stayed cozy indoors, tucked up warm, and enjoyed a few fun games instead.
Stay snug and safe out there, pals!

With winter coming we thought this little chart might be useful! ❄️🐾 How cold we feel can depend not only on our size but our age and health — and let me tell you, I proved that this weekend. I had an pawsome run on the beach on Saturday but on the walk back… brrr, I got chilly! 🥶Mum noticed right away — she wrapped me up in a big, furry blanket, and I stayed snuggled there napping all afternoon. 💤🐶 Stay warm out there pals. Woofs Miss Zsa Zsa ❄️🐕💖

For anyone with an itchy cav who also suffers from blocked a**l glands, I messaged Scooch.pet about their supplements.

I noticed that their a**l glands supplements and their itchy dog supplements have the same ingredients, so I emailed them for clarification.
This is their response:

Both products contain the same core ingredients, but the quantities are adjusted to better target the specific issue they’re designed for, which is why their a**lytical constituents look different.

Here’s a breakdown for reference:

- The Allergy & Itching chews: 8.33% protein, 4.28% fat, under 1% crude fibre, and 2.11% crude ash.

- The A**l Gland chews: 11.1% protein, 4.75% fat, 2.1% crude fibre, and 2.48% crude ash.

Because the ingredient ratios are adjusted, each chew is optimized for the problem it’s designed to support.

On a personal note, I also have a Cavalier who deals with both itching and a**l gland issues. In my experience, the A**l Gland chews were noticeably more effective for Oscar, so if you’re choosing between the two, that’s the one I would recommend.

✓ Make scooting (and that foul fishy odour!) a thing of the past ✓ Vet-formulated with clinically proven ingredients to boost bowel function ✓ Plant-based chews packed with fibre from psyllium husk to flaxseed ✓ No pills, powders or gloopy oils: just delicious human grade chews dogs love 240...
