Available appointments with the fabulous Rachael to get those harnesses fitted in time for those lovely spring walks !!

This weeks harness and coat fittings

Thursday 6th - 11.30am, 12.30pm, 2pm or 3pm
Saturday 8th - 12.30pm, 3pm or 4pm

People often ask why they have to make an appointment for a harness or coat, I do it to make it less stressful for your dog, and for me too, if everyone arrived at the same time it would be chaos and I'd feel rushed, I like to take my time, to make it less stressful for your dog or puppy.

I do still do walk-ins, it's just that you would have to wait whilst I fit a harness or put a delivery away! If you book an appointment, you then know you'll be seen on time (though I may have to serve other customers quickly if I'm in my own)

A fitting usually takes around 15 minutes (it can be quicker, or longer, if it involves trying on several harnesses, or if you are getting both a coat and harness)

If your dog is nervous please let me know when booking , as I'll arrange a quieter time.

And PLEASE ensure your dog is clean and not wet or muddy from a walk, I do have a towel if they're just damp from walking from the car, but if they are muddy from a walk, I'm unable to try harnesses or coats on them, sorry!

Thank you
Rachael
