HOLIDAY DOGS is a new local service designed to help loving doggy owners (like myself!) to find appropriate home boarding for their best friends. Most people nowadays prefer to board their dog within a loving home environment, maintaining their pets routine and ensuring they are happy and content as they are with you. This is, after all the perfect alternative to kennelling! However it’s not always easy to find the perfect dog loving carer who can offer all of these things – well LOOK NO FURTHER! Due to the increasing demand of home boarding I decided to set up HOLIDAY DOGS, with the help of my chosen dog loving host families. I am now able to offer more and more owners peace of mind whilst they are away from home due to holidays, work etc. Each of my host families are genuine dog lovers and due to their working commitments being extrememly low, they are able to provide your dog with the ultimate care & comfort, giving you absolute peace of mind, flexibility and security. Each host family are fully insured and have been carefully selected by Holiday Dogs. Call Mary-Ann on 07712 270415 for more information, or visit www.holidaydogs.co.uk

Holiday Dogs Group Walk - Long Strops Kesgrave


Our group walk, held in Kesgrave on 25th June we enjoyed a leisurely stroll through Long Strops, into the woods and back again!


The dogs were very excited to meet each other again, it's great to see them getting to know each other that little bit more each time.




Dan from Flipper Foto attends each walk, merrily snapping away at anything that catches his eye - here are a few photos from our recent event - for more please visit FlipperFoto .  If you would like Dan to take a photo of your pet pooch then feel free to ask him at the beginning of the walk so he can look out for that perfect pose!

HOLIDAY DOGS Group Walks - Orwell Country Park

Orwell Country Park, 12th June 2011


Holiday Dogs Group Walks are designed to give dogs and owners a chance to meet and greet, and to basically go for a group walk together.  It’s all completely free, no need to register, just turn up (with a dog if you have one) and is open to any age or ability.  Walks are at various locations around Suffolk and usually lasts around 1 hour to 1 hour 30 mins.
Another enjoyable event was had by all at Orwell Country Park on Sunday 12th June. 
Lots of keen and excited dogs gathered around with their owners,  getting to know each other  in great detail - sniffing around each other’s hind quarters (that’s the dogs of course!) before going for a relaxing stroll through the woods.

What a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning!  The weather was perfect for walking and the atmosphere had a great feel to it, the sound of voices from our chatting owners, not to mention the laughter as our host Mary-Ann was almost pulled into the river by a ‘holiday dog’  and of course the sound of the doggies feet as they ran through wet sand!

That’s what our group walks are all about, it’s a great opportunity to walk and talk, and to let our doggies roam around with each other – it’s always nicer if you have a friend to share an interesting sniff or two, and to compete with marking territories here and there with!


Our next event will be held on Saturday 25th June at Long Strops Kesgrave at 11am.  Meeting in the car park located on Bell Lane, Kesgrave seewww.comberenterprises.co.uk/apps/WikkaKTC/LongStrops
