Our ethos means we can protect your pets
Here at 4 Paws we believe that exercise, socialising and diet are key to your dog’s good health and wellbeing whilst staying with us. Your dog will spend most of their day socialising and playing with friends with a large walk in our fields, in the middle of the day. They will be more than happy for a rest of night in their heated kennels.
Life here at 4 Paws Farm is every dog’s dream, we allow them the freedom to run and play in a safe and social environment. The feeding routine here is military and your dog receives their meals on time, just as you instruct, with or without medication they will get the best level of care with all your individual needs catered for. At 4 Paws Farm we believe it is very important for all animals to remain on their own diet throughout their stay to promote good digestive health.
Here at 4 Paws Farm we take your dog into our hearts as well as our home. We understand their needs and are more than happy to give them the extra attention and support needed for them to feel safe and secure at 4 Paws Farm.
During our dog care, we ensure that when your dog isn’t romping around our fields with friends, he or she will be playing in our turnout paddock. We conduct several play sessions in a way to stimulate their minds and keep them mentally stimulated as well as physically. Alternatively they can just relax on a sofa in our doggy day room and keep warm.
