To get started, we require you to complete a registration form, which allows us to create a unique and individual care file for your dog. This file will detail your dog’s specific needs and preferences. Once we have this information, we'll discuss your requirements in more detail to develop a customized rolling 4-weekly service plan that suits your dog's needs perfectly. For added convenience, you can make additional bookings either by contacting us directly or through our user-friendly online booking system. This ensures that you always have the flexibility to adjust your services as needed. We also recommend taking a look at our T&C’s, which will give you an understanding our how our booking system works.
At our organization, we believe that every dog is unique, which is why our care packages are thoughtfully tailored to meet the individual needs and requirements of each pup. We take into account factors such as age, health, and personality to ensure that every package provides the best possible care and enrichment. Additionally, we operate on a convenient rolling 4-weekly booking plan, allowing for flexibility and consistency in the care your dog receives. This approach ensures that as your dog's needs evolve, so too does their care, keeping them happy and healthy throughout the year.
We understand that changes in routine can be stressful for dogs, and we're here to help make the transition as smooth as possible. Our thorough registration process allows us to gather detailed information about your dog’s unique requirements and abilities, ensuring that we tailor our services to their specific needs. To further ease any concerns, we offer a home visit prior to your first booking, giving us the opportunity to meet your dog in their familiar environment. This helps us build trust and assess how we can best support them. Additionally, each dog has a personalized care file with Leads & Laces by APG Ltd, where we record their progress and any adjustments needed along the way. This way, you can feel confident that your dog's comfort and well-being are our top priorities.
