Chichester Dog Care November News

 

 

 

Last month Barking Mad Chichester were proud to support Breast Cancer month and we were so pleased to raise a total of £90.50 from our extremely generous hosts and customers for the very special Wear It Pink event which took place on Friday 18th of October. As seen in the photo below, even one of our office dogs took part! 🙂 Breast Cancer Now is a charity that all of us associate with, whether it’s a family member or a friend, and we are so grateful for everyone who supported us and made a donation.  Every single penny counts and will be sent off to Breast Cancer Now, with the names and addresses of those who donated, so they can also personally thank you.  Raising money together means life-saving breast cancer research and life-changing help to support all of those who are affected.  We couldn’t have done it without your help and we thank you again to all of those who donated! 🙂

Our adoring hosts Irene and Dennis recently enjoyed having Nezzie to stay for his last holiday of the summer.  September is Dog Remembrance Month to raise awareness for grieving pets and encourage dog lovers to come together and remember the lives of their cherished pets.  Irene and Dennis became hosts for Barking Mad after losing their own dog, Timmy, who was a huge part of their family.  Being a host gives them the chance to have the companionship of a dog and spoil them with all the love they deserve, as and when it is suitable to have them stay, while having 24/7 support from us.  If you are missing a dog in your life and would like to invite a four-legged friend to stay with you, without the full-time emotional commitment, then please contact us for a friendly chat on 01243 583152.

 

This month Barking Mad Chichester is proud to be associated with and supporting the very special Wear It Pink event for Breast Cancer Now, something that is associated with a lot of us, either someone we know, a relative or a friend.  We will of course be asking all our hosts and customers, while on collections and deliveries, and our relatives and friends for any kind donations between now and the Friday 18^th October.  Raising money together means life-saving research and life-changing support for all of those affected.   Any support would be much appreciated and we hope that you will join us to support this event and Wear It Pink on Friday 18^th October.

Barking Mad Chichester Celebrates 5th Anniversary – December 2017

I have been celebrating 5 years as business owner of Barking Mad.  After buying the company in 2012 we have gone from strength to strength!  Barking Mad offers bespoke holidays for dogs whilst their owners are away.  They stay with very experienced dog lovers, whom enjoy their guests staying with them, with everything provided in their own homes.

Jane and her hosts celebrated together with a luncheon at The Pagham Football Club, with a very special cake made by local lady Hayley Rose.

Some of the hosts brought the dogs they are currently looking after to enjoy the party too.

As there was such an abundance of food, Jane then decided that she and Laura Stentiford would go into Bognor Regis to give to and support the homeless.  All was gratefully received.

If you might be interested in joining Jane and her family of dog lovers having a dog to stay, she would love to hear from you for a chat on either 01243 583152 or 07817 211004.
