Our Special Friends
Our Special Friends are a charity which provides a vital lifeline for vulnerable people and pet owners.
Microchipping
Microchipping your pet gives them the best chance of being identified and returned to you if they get lost or stolen.
Dog First Aid
As dog owners we all want what’s best for our beloved pooches but if your faithful friend suddenly got ill or injured on a walk, would you know what to do?
Bloat
Bloat (Gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV)) is a life-threatening condition for dogs which involves the stomach and can quickly lead to bodily shock if left untreated.
Pointers In Need
Pointers In Need is a UK-based Pointer rescue organisation who rescues and rehomes (English) Pointers. It primarily concentrates on rescuing, rehabilitiating and rehoming Pointers which are often an overlooked breed.
It also supports the rescue and rehoming of Pointers from overseas. The Team are all volunteers who give their time freely and are passionate about the breed and rescue
Medical Detection Dogs
Medical Detection Dogs is a charity which train dogs to detect the odour of human disease with the aim of developing faster, more efficient, and less invasive diagnostics that lead to better patient outcomes.
What is Pet Blood Bank?
Pet Blood Bank is a charity set up to support vets by providing a blood service for pets, just like the one we have as humans. The charity runs donation sessions across the country, where owners bring their beloved companions to give blood. Pet Blood Bank operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to ensure blood is always available for pets in need.
Canine Partners
Canine Partners is a registered charity that transforms the lives of people with physical disabilities by partnering them with assistance dogs.
Summer Walks
Summer walks are ideal for us humans, nicer weather, longer evenings, an excuse to get yourself out…. even to a pub garden. However, the warmer weather does cause some issues for your furry friend.
Striding into the Den
Yes… I don’t mind admitting, Dragons’ Den is a pretty nerve wracking experience. Somewhat akin to a first bungee jump off the Clifton Suspension Bridge I would imagine.
Calling all dog walkers, dog sitters and dog trainers…now is the time to say a big THANK YOU
When Covid hit in March 2020 business went into decline for many dog walkers, trainers and dog sitters. With families at home there was no requirement for their services and family members were often fighting to take their pets for a walk so they had the excuse they needed to get out and exercise without breaking Covid restrictions.
Support Dogs
Support have Dogs been training life-changing dogs for adults and children with autism, epilepsy and a number of serious medical conditions since 1992. So this year they’re celebrating 30 years of transforming lives, thanks to the very special partnerships they’ve created between canine and human.
