Do you worm and flea treat your dog or cat regularly? If not, you could be leaving them and you at some quite serious risks. One pile of poo could contain literally millions of eggs and worms which can be passed to humans and replicate in your dog to cause fatal health conditions.

There is lots of ongoing research into dog psychology and importantly how they relate to us as humans. Reading some of this recently it made me smile how much dogs are still learning at a pace to understand and work with us as humans. I thought this month I would share some of this with you.

So we’ve all probably heard something about the new Microchipping laws that came into place on the 6th of April 2016. From experience of talking to owners however not everyone is clear on what these really mean and what they should be doing and so I thought it would be worth reiterating the requirements in this month’s article.

"This is awful, two of my dogs have stayed at Calagran and I cannot praise the staff enough for the meticulous care given to all the boarders entrusted to them. Our large black GSD is not the easiest of dogs to handle...not because he's aggressive, but due to his size, strength and distrust of strangers.....so it gave us great peace of mind knowing he got lots of exercise and care in the hands of this excellent team of dedicated professionals. Also, the kennels and individual outside areas are unusually spacious, so add to that the secure meadow for off lead fun......... a dog owner couldn't find a better place!"

"Our overall experience with Norm and Nellies' stay was fabulous. We were apprehensive at kenneling them anywhere but we should not have been worried at all.
We received emails and pictures of them having great fun in the field and when we picked them up they looked great.We can't thank you enough for the care they received especially as Nellie is a very nervous girl. Thanks to you all for being so wonderful and we won't hesitate to bring them again when we have our next holiday."

"Excellent, it is hard to leave a much loved dog behind, but it helped enormously knowing he would be well cared for....ours being a large black GSD means not everyone feels they can cope with him, he is very strong and slow to connect with strangers, but not so at Four Paws..the staff were confident and understanding of his ways."

"My dog, Roscoe has been staying at the pet hotel since he was 4 months old and I can honestly say that he loves going and I am told he doesn't miss us when there!!!
Roscoe always has the pet taxi service there and back and a bath before he comes home. He always smells divine.
I love how we get photos sent by email during his stay.
I know that Roscoe is very well looked after. He loved the play paddock and thoroughly enjoys his stays."

"Where do I start? The staff are friendly and extremely helpful, the kennels are kept very clean, our male dog can be protective towards our female dog and this causes him to become anxious the staff dealt with this. Anyone who is unsure please please go and have a look at the kennels they are brilliant along with the staff who do an exceptional job. We can't thank you enough and look forward to seeing you again in 2017."

"If this kennels was Ofsted inspected It would get outstanding in every area. You will never use any other boarding establishment again once you've sampled the best five stars isn't enough. It's a ten from me."

"Absolutely fabulous, I would not put my dogs anywhere else"
Mary Wigmore (8th August 2016)
"Having a lively cocker spaniel & a cockerpoo I need to know they are looked after & exercised daily ,it speaks for itself if I have returned my dogs & the acre exercise field is what mine needed ,the fact that you can just call in & see them being excercised or shown round shows how caring the staff are ,"

"Our little Indian 3-legged street dog arrived baffled and probably very anxious from Bangalore and left C Four Paws four months later very happy, confident, glossy coated and healthy. (Still 3-legged but they can't do everything!)"
