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.

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!"

"Wouldn't take my boys anywhere else! Trust the Calagran team completely and that's important when you are leaving your precious pets in their care. Thank you Calagran, the boys will be back again soon for a holiday!"

"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."
