Cotswold Animal Services

Cotswold Animal Services Home from home animal care. I am passionate about all animals and outdoor country life having owned dogs and horses over my lifetime.

Cotswold Animal Services provides home from home care for your animals, we are a family home first and foremost with two dog savvy children (9 & 13) who have grown up an integral part of all that we do here - From offering doggy daycare here in our home, to boarding and dog walking. We believe in providing a loving and safe home for your dogs when they are with us with an emphasis on their individ

ual needs and exceptional quality care. I am of course fully licensed and insured to offer your pets these services - Canine first aid trained and DBS checked for your peace of mind. My love for animals spans over many years with our family business raising free range pigs, goats, chickens and ducks. I founded C.A.S in 2018, we own 3 German Shorthaired Pointers our own and am a 5* licensed home breeder and KC assured breed for GSP's having raised two BEAUTIFUL litters. We own two cats who keep an eye on all proceedings, and a Bearded Dragon called Spike!! If you choose to make a booking with Cotswold Animal Services I will invite you for a complimentary meet and greet to our home where I can asses suitability of your dog, show you our space and answer any questions you may have about the care I provide. Part of my package is to provide you with regular updates and photos so you can be rest assured that your animal is happy in your absence and having fun with their new friends. I offer a variety of care for your animals...

* Home environment daycare - Licensed and insured to offer you care for your dogs in my home for the day so they do not have to spend to long home alone. I do so on a very small scale to allow your dog some gentle socialisation but just as importantly rest and a healthy environment to have time out and relaxation and come home happy and relaxed. I offer a free collection and drop home from Painswick, Edge/Sheepscombe/Pitchcombe. The doggies have exclusive access to the underfloor heating and a hot dog shower for cleaning down on mucky days.

* Home boarding - Licensed and insured to offer a home from home whilst you are away, we all want to know whilst away that our dogs are relaxed and happy when we aren't there to provide them with the love and attention they are used to. I offer home boarding on a very small scale here in my home, to allow for exceptional individual care. We have wonderful sniffy walks on our doorstep, a secure field and a warm cozy house, multiple bed options and a sofa to come home to and snuggle up on with us whilst they board. I will send you regular photos and updates so you don't need to worry about how your dog is settling. The doggies have exclusive acces to the underfloor heating and a hot dog shower for cleaning down on mucky days.

* Small group or individual dog walks. I collect from Painswick/Edge/Sheepscombe/Pitchcombe/Haresfeild areas, I also have access to a private secure field daily.

* Vet or grooming taxi trips - Should your do need taking along to an appointment I would be more than happy to do this for you, I am fully insured to travel your pets and hold a valid DBS check for your peace of mind. I offer a free collection and drop home from Painswick/Edge/Sheepscombe/Pitchcombe, further afield may incur a additional travel fee.

* Puppy pop in's (lunch time let outs/feeding and play) - Ideal for puppy owners who need to juggle a work/home balance and are conscious of leaving your young dog home alone for extended periods. I offer a toilet visit with feeding/ play and enrichment for your puppy to break the day up and keep your training on the right track.

* Canine wedding chaperone - Your dog being a valued member of the family, why wouldn't you want them there on your big day to be part of your photographs to treasure forever. Cotswold Animal Services is licensed and insured to offer home boarding for your dog the night before your wedding in my home, I will then bring your dog along to your wedding venue in time to be art of your photographs or for the ceremony. Taking your dog home again whilst you dance the night away without the worry of who is looking after your dog, collection the next day or drop back to your venue can be arranged.

* Feline - I offer cat sitting from your home whilst you are away. Many cats find a cattery an unnatural and stressful environment. We all know how much our cats thrive on their routine and familiar environments so I will visit your cats in your home and provide them their care and home comforts as you would do on a daily basis.

* Equine - I offer care in your home for your horses/ponies whilst you are away, your horses routine can remain the exact same so your horses aren't unsettled and you do not need to return from your break to a mountain of pooh picking!

* Chicken sitting from your home whilst you are away, let me pop in once or twice a day to let your hens out...clean up after them and feed and freshen up their home and check they are safe and secure from the pesky fox!

A little unexpected availability post...Home boarding availability!!

I’ve had a cancellation after one of my regular dogs sadly picked up an injury with his owners and is now taking a break from holidays while he recovers, which means I’ve unexpectedly got some spaces available that were previously fully booked.

🐾 1st–11th September
🐾 5th–15th October
🐾 19th–23rd October

If you’ve been looking for home from home boarding , I’d love to hear from you.
Your dog will be treated as one of the family, with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles and, of course, lots of naps!

Just drop me a message if you’d like to chat about any of the dates above. And if you know someone looking for dog boarding, I’d really appreciate you sharing this post. ❤️

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!
WE HAVE A CHANCE TO DRIVE CHANGE!
THIS IS AN INTIATIVE DRIVEN BY Redwings Horse Sanctuary

📣‼️BIG NEWS ON FIREWORKS ! 👇

We are delighted that the UK government has today launched a 12-week public consultation on proposals to strengthen fireworks regulations. 🎆

We are urging as many people as possible to use the opportunity to make their voice heard before 7th October.

The proposals include reducing the maximum noise level of consumer fireworks to reduce the potentially devastating effect very loud fireworks can have on both animals and people. This is a practical step which has been at the heart of Redwings’ Keep Horses In Mind campaign and was reflected in the petition we ran last year, which closed with over 184,000 signatures and triggered a passionate parliamentary debate in January.

Public consultation is a key step on the road to regulatory change and consultations really can influence government policy, whether that involves supporting new regulations, or stopping unwelcome policies from being brought in.

You can read more information over on our website, you'll find the link in our comments.

Thank you so much for all your support on this important topic !

⚠️ADVICE ON COOLING DOGS YOU SHOULD NOT FOLLOW!!!⚠️

Its seems everyday now there is another viral piece of advice on cooling dogs (or horses) from an "expert" that is dangerously wrong! Here is the latest!

❌"Most dog owners cool their dog down the wrong way"
✅YES, SADLY INCLUDING YOU NICK AND THOR TRAVEL!

❌"Armpits, groin, then chest, underneath their neck, paws"
✅NO, WHOLE BODY.

❌"Not their whole body"
✅YES, THEIR WHOLE BODY!

❌"You do not want to soak them completely"
✅YES YOU DO, IF THEY ARE OVERHEATED!

❌"If you soak them then whats going to happen is the water creates almost like a barrier with their skin and it doesn't allow the heat to release"
✅THIS IS WRONG! WATER COLDER THAN THE DOG COOLS BY CONDUCTION. WATER IS A BETTER CONDUCTOR OF HEAT THAN AIR. WATER EVAPORATES.

💡OVERHEATED DOG💡
✅WET ALL OVER WITH WHATEVER COOL/COLD LIQUID YOU HAVE ACCESS TO
✅OR TAKE INTO WATER
✅SUPPORT HEAD
✅GO TO VET

Welcoming sweet Bonnie to our home this week, she has settled in so well and made friends with everyone.

What was so lovely to see yesterday was how accepting my regular dogs are of our new visitors, after our walk both the girls snuggled in for a sleep together in their favourite bed.

You might remember Lulu the Brittany spaniel, who I fostered for a short while after visiting the rescue centre where she was in Spain and deciding to bring her home, she was wonderfully homed with a family in my village, who own another of my regular daycare dogs so she comes every week for home daycare with me and and what I find gorgeous to see is how welcoming they are to all our other visitors when they come for their more ad hoc or new bookings, because they’re so relaxed already here it helps new dogs realise it’s they’re home too when they come to play and stay.
