Pets in good hands

THE holiday season is just around the corner, so now is the time to start planning where your furry friends will be spending their break while you’re away.
Kennels are a great place for dogs to enjoy a sociable holiday but not every pooch settles into the often hectic environment of a large kennel.
If a kennel isn’t your pet’s thing, Small Pawz Bed and Biscuits retreat is an ideal pet-minding service for small and elderly dogs who might not settle well in kennels.
After years of experience with pet-minding in the UK and throughout Australia, Jean Leigh has settled in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and now offers a unique home from home for your pet with the Bed and Biscuits pet retreat.
“Many dogs don’t settle well in kennels and coming to us offers peace of mind to owners and a safe haven as part of our family,” she said.
Jean can cater for just one night or a weekend, as well as small to medium dogs and elderly dogs who need extra care.
Jean also offers a home visit service where she can walk, feed and play with your pooch if you are away, as well as put out the bins, water the plants and bring in the mail.
Small animals such as rabbits, cats, chickens and caged birds can also be catered for.
For more information or to book your pet in, phone Jean on 0435 521 962.
