Due to an electrical fault, our power is down - we can’t receive any calls to the Chalkwell number but otherwise it’s business as normal. We hope to have it fixed over the next 24 hours. We’ve got emergency back-up for heating so all the cats and dogs are nice and toasty 😊
The generators are running heaters for the kennels and we have a phone line again with a good old corded telephone. And thanks to Brian and Ria we can make a cup of tea too! 😊 We should be back to full email service by tomorrow. Thanks to all our customers for your patience and understanding.
It’s going to be especially hot today, but the dogs and cats at Chalkwell are keeping cool:
We’ve got fans running throughout the kennels and cattery with all doors, windows and hatches open to ensure a flow of fresh air.
We're doing more frequent welfare and water checks.
The dogs have drastically reduced time outside, with 1-2-1 time in their kennel instead.
Awww thank you we hope Luna and Isla are ok x

What a beautiful day for our annual pet first aid training yesterday! We just had to take the classroom outside.
Our kennel assistants and dog handlers undergo training every year, part of which includes all aspects of pet first aid such as bleeding, choking, seizures and bloat, handling puppies and elderly dogs, as well as bandage dressing and CPR.
We also have qualified human first aiders too!
Shame you don't run a public one.
Some of our trainee dogs graduate in the explosives detection field. Others, like Jazz here, go on to work as bio-detection dogs.
Well done Jazz - Bio Dog of the Week!
Fabulous
