Hi Everyone 👋

‼️Just an important reminder regarding our Kennel Cough Vaccine Policy ‼️

The Kennel Cough vaccine is a live vaccine and dogs can shed the vaccine strain for a period after the vaccination has been administered, potentially exposing other dogs to the virus.

Our policy and the requirements and conditions of our Home Boarding Licence set by the Harborough District Council state there must be a minimum of 3 weeks from the vaccine being administered to your dog coming to stay with us.

The Kennel Cough vaccine is not compulsory for your dog to stay with us, however we do recommend they have it.

It is compulsory for your dog to be up to date with all core vaccinations against distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis (DHPP/DAPP) and Leptospirosis.

All dogs must also be up to date with their flea, wormer and parasite treatments to stay and walk with us.

Have a great week everyone.

Thank you 🙏🏻

⚠️ 🪱🦗IMPORTANT REMINDER TO CUSTOMERS ⚠️🪱🦗
Thankfully, due to our strict procedures, policies and daily cleaning regimes we have never had a case of fleas, worms or any other parasite here at YAPPY TAILS but I just wanted to remind our customers to keep on top of their dogs Flea and Wormer treatments.

We cannot accept dogs for walks or Home Boarding that are showing any signs of fleas, mites, worms or other parasites for the protection of our own dogs, other home boarders and our business.
Please ensure your dogs are up to date with and receive their regular Flea, Parasite and Wormer treatments as per dosage requirements.
It's important you do not miss any treatments to best avoid the chance of infestation.

We are trained and more than happy to administer Flea and Wormer treatments to your dogs should it become due during their stay with us.

Thank you 😊 🐾

Dear Santa Paws 🐾 🎅🏼…

Our longest stayer at the Boston Kennels, Lexi wrote her letter to Santa Paws today. Lexi would like to find her forever home for Christmas.

Lexi is a 5 year old female and has been over looked for 5 months and we would love for her to find a home for the big day. Lexi walks well on the lead, eats well, gets on with other greyhounds and enjoys snuggles with her humans, alongside playing with her toys.

She really is such a good girl and keeps getting over looked. She’s only a small girl and would look fab sat next to a Christmas Tree.

If you can offer Lexi a home, please contact Kevin on 07941 313 025. Please share far and wide ❤️

Our Story

Providing dog walking, let-out, sitting, pet taxi, wedding day dog chaperone and 1-2-1 puppy training services across Market Harborough and the surrounding areas, our aim is to physically and mentally stimulate your pooch and get their tails wagging! Your pet's safety is our top priority and we will always care for your dog as if they were our own.

If you want to come home to a happy dog, or as we like to say, a 'Yappy Tail' dog then give us a call... For all enquiries and to discuss your requirements please contact Diana via Facebook, e-mail, text or phone call. Tel: 07889 186646 or 01858 555466 Email: [email protected] A BIT ABOUT THE LEADER OF THE PACK.... My name is Diana. I live with my partner Julian, our 5 year old Golden Labrador DJ and our 3 year old Black Labrador X Retriever Donny. I grew up with dogs and they have always had a special place in my heart. It was my love of dogs that led me to become an approved puppy socialiser and foster carer for Medical Detection Dogs (MDD), a charity that trains specialist dogs to detect the odour of human diseases and life-threatening medical conditions. I take care of these amazing dogs in my own home where my job is to help socialise and train them to a set standard. Once approved, these qualified dogs will be carefully matched and partnered with a client who has a life-threatening illness. Donny started his life training to be a Medical Alert Dog, and we adopted him in 2018! I am qualified in Canine First Aid, Canine Behaviour and Puppy Training. We are DBS verified and fully insured, so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. We welcome friendly, well socialised dogs of all ages to join the Yappy Tails pack where they are sure to get all the fuss, attention and love they deserve!

OUR SERVICES MEET AND GREET: Every dog and owner is unique, therefore, we like to meet you both before-hand to discuss your requirements and learn about any special preferences, favourite treats, tricks, toys and tickle spots! This not only helps us to get to know your dog, but it also allows your dog to become familiar with us, so they feel comfortable in our care. ADVENTURE WALKS: Our adventure walks include a variety of on-lead exercise / walks (and off-lead with prior consent) in various dog friendly parks, forests and trails which include but are not limited to: Sykes Lane Dog Park - Rutland Water, Meadow View Dog Paddock - Braunston, Brook Hill - Oakham, George Henry Wood - Stretton, Welland Park Dog Park - Market Harborough, various countryside locations around Hallaton.

HOME VISITS AND LET OUT SERVICE: I will pop to your home and let your dog out for a toilet break. They will get lots of fuss, fresh water refill, brushing and feeding if required. This service is perfect if you are out at work all day, away for the weekend or on a day trip...I can pop in once, twice or three times a day if required. PET TAXI SERVICE: Fully insured, DBS certified, canine first aid trained and with a full clean driving licence, I will transport your pet to and from the groomers, vets, kennels, dog sitters and during house moves safely and in comfort. The Yappy Tails Mobile is air conditioned and fully equipped with fresh water, towels and a Canine First Aid Kit. Fitted with a secure padded dog hammock, two safety restraints on the back seat and a dog guard in the rear, your dog will be happy, safe and secure.
