Welcome to our October newsletter!

As autumn gets underway, we’re looking forward to plenty of crisp walks, muddy paws, cosy cuddles and lots of happy tails!

This month, we’re introducing you to one of our wonderful Friends for Pets teams, sharing an important pet first aid opportunity, celebrating some lovely client feedback and letting you know about exciting opportunities to join our team.

Team Spotlight: Penarth – Run by Steph Palfrey

We love what we do and we love the amazing people who do it with us!

This month, we’re shining a spotlight on one of the wonderful teams that help make Friends for Pets feel like family.

The Penarth, Dinas Powys and Barry dog walking team was established in 2016 and is managed by Steph Palfrey.

Steph brings so much care, dedication and love to every animal she looks after. Her passion for providing the very best care shines through in everything she does, and she is a fantastic member of the Friends for Pets team.

We’re incredibly proud of the wonderful service Steph and her team provide to local pet owners and their four-legged family members.

Join Our Online Pet First Aid Webinar

As a pet parent, your pet’s safety is always a top priority. But would you know what to do if an emergency happened?

Our sister company, The Pet Academy, is hosting a live, interactive Online Pet First Aid Webinar on 8th October at 7pm, led by our very own certified Pet First Aid Instructor, Tash.

This essential session will teach you how to respond to common pet emergencies and provide first aid while you arrange veterinary care.

You’ll learn important, potentially life-saving skills, including:

  • How to deal with cuts and wounds
  • How to recognise the signs of toxic ingestion
  • What to do if your pet is choking
  • How to perform pet CPR
  • What to do in a range of other common emergencies

There will also be a live Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and learn from an experienced Pet First Aid Instructor.

Spaces are limited, so don’t miss out!

Being prepared could make all the difference when your pet needs you most.

What Our Amazing Clients Are Saying!

Nothing makes us happier than hearing from our wonderful clients and, of course, their happy four-legged family members!

This month, we’re sharing this lovely feedback from one of our clients:

“Oh our two fur babies love nanny Jo.
They are rescue cats and over time they have adopted Jo which is great.
We never worry about them whilst away as we know they are in safe hands.”

We treat every pet as if they were our own, so feedback like this means the world to us. It’s wonderful to know that we’re providing not only exciting adventures and loving care for pets, but also peace of mind for their owners.

If you’d like your pet to experience the same loving care and attention, we’d love to welcome you to the Friends for Pets family!
