Thanks for liking us - the SPCA received $419.

Thank you everyone who liked our Absolutely Precious Paws Fan site on Facebook. The Tauranga SPCA received $419 from us, which goes a long way to helping feed all those hungry mouths there. Well done to you all. We have decided to continue with our promotion and make it a monthly donation, so any new people who like our page, will result in a $1 extra to the SPCA. Our Facebook page features daily photos of our Doggy Day Care and In- Home boarding dogs, interesting news articles from around the world, photos of the pets we are pet sitting in their homes, competitions, stories and discussions about what may have happened during our visits. Click on the picture to visit us, 'like' us and suggest us to your friends.





Thinking of all the people and pets in Canterbury...

What a very sad and horrific ordeal the people and pets of Canterbury have been through. The whole country and the world are mourning the loss of lives and now many  find themselves in difficult circumstances, perhaps without a home. The Canterbury SPCA have set up the Pet Emergency Earthquake Fund to help pets in the area. There are many ways you can donate, click on the picture to view.


Additionally on their website is a Pet Emergency Plan - with information about what you can do to prepare for a disaster.



What's new at Doggy Day Care and In Home Boarding

There are more dogs regularly joining us for the day or boarding overnight. The dogs parents now get a daily report about what happened during the day with pictures and a link to the Facebook page, where there are more pictures or video from the day. Some highlights from the last month or so is the new lush roll out grass being laid, lovely blue comfy leather couches ( they are flasher than our couches upstairs), a new tent tunnel, 3 new crates ( so you don't need to bring your own if your dog likes to sleep in a crate) and a swing ball..as well as numerous toys and balls which quickly loose their squeak and get chewed. I also have a huge bag of pigs ears that get bought out for some regular chewing.
I really appreciate all the dogs belongings and food being named. There are some marker pens here to do it, if you are dropping them off. It also makes it a lot easier to return belongs. If you are missing anything, do let me know.The lost property bin has quite a few things in it. Thanks

Does your dog
pull on the lead, not come when it's called, run away out the front door, jump on guests? Would you like to put an end to these behaviours? Dog Guru has a special of 40% off their standard prices for March. Click on the logo for more details.

Here's what others think and say..

Thanks so much 4 looking afta the kids.
We always feel at ease
knowing u r
there caring 4 them
.

Thankyou so much to you and precious paws. We were able to go away and know that Tomo was in great hands with Jenny.

It was a pleasure to come home to two happy well-fed cats. Jenny even managed to win over shy Lily, who normally runs and hides from strangers. Having peace of mind when away from home is so important,knowing the junk mail has been taken indoors out of sight. The garden was watered, and my plants saved from the blistering heat. Jenny even vacuumed the house before my return, as two long haired cats can leave plenty of fur around.Thank you very much indeed, and I know I can go away with family in future knowing everything will be well cared for. Yours sincerely Norma Sercombe

A big thank you again for an amazing job with Lilli and Daisy. It is so nice to be able to have a holiday and know our furry friends are in good hands....will be in touch to book your wonderful service again. Thank you from us, and especially from Lilli and Daisy. Ciara

You guys are the best so always happy to refer you.

Hello Lisa!I had to write to let you know that the dogs had a wonderful time with you!  They told me that they had lots of fun and were completely worn out!Thank you  Beth


We are back home – Webster was sleeping in the sun in our bedroom.  Had to call Benson & he turned up 10 minutes later.  Now they are both peacefully sleeping in the lounge by the open door for the breeze!
 
We would like to thank you very much for the care & attention you lavish on our boys – we always say they live in 5 star accommodation and you keep up that standard which they delight in!

I just wanted to thank you for taking care of Gus and Gabriel last weekend. They were very pleased to see me when I got home, but were otherwise happy and settled. I had an idea Gabriel would spend most of the time under the bed, but he was fine when I got home. You can see why I didn't want to put him in a cattery though. I think you run an amazing service and I will not hesitate to use you again in the future, in fact I have already recommended you to a couple of friends with pets.
Kind regards
