BOOKING
Before sending an enquiry or submitting provisional dates, please read the following booking procedure which covers everything you need to know about the process.
Before Booking
To ensure we operate to the highest standards, all new sausages will need to attend a meet and greet (approx. 1hr) just to make sure your sausage is comfortable with ours. There is no need to wait to book your dates, we will provisionally book them out as soon as they are received.
Following your initial enquiry we will contact you to arrange the meet and greet. It isn’t a big deal and is really informal. We will go for a short walk from our home in Chester, followed by a brief play in our secure garden. Once back at our home we will have a cuppa and discuss your dogs stay. It is rare that these meetings don’t work out, but every so often this can be the case so please don’t be offended if any issues arise. It is so important that our sausages are comfortable with each other and if there is a possibility your dog won’t settle with us it wouldn’t be fair to force them to stay for an extended period.
Once the meet and greet is concluded and everyone is happy, we can confirm the booking.
In addition, if your dogs planned stay is for more than two nights, they will need to have a one night trial sleepover at a reduced rate.
This may seem overzealous but we insist on this to ensure your bundle of joy feels 100% comfortable in our care.
During Their Stay
As dachshund owners we understand the importance of routine and will endeavour to stick to your dogs routine as best as we can.
Apart from from having new friends to play with, your dachshund will be taken for a minimum of two walks per day. One of these will be off-lead in a secure location.
If we have multiple dogs staying with us, we regularly hire out a local dog field for some dachshund dash action!
We do have some dog toys in our home but they don’t usually last long. If you would like to bring your dogs own toys please do, but we cannot accept liability for these. As all dachshund owners know, toy destruction is a fine art that our sausages have got down to a tee!
We change the location of our walks on a daily basis and they could be anywhere from the beach, in a forest or along our local river the Dee. If the weather is bad we try and pick a more sheltered location for fear of being shunned by all the dogs for making them go out in the rain.
Every dog that stays with us will have a designated sleeping area. If you are checking in multiple sausages who like to sleep together, this can be accommodated.
As a small business we are more than happy to send you updates on your dog, you can also send us a WhatsApp (8am -6pm) if you would like an update. Most of our business comes from work of mouth and social media and we regularly post on our social media channels (with your permission), so you can see what your little one is getting up to and what adventures they have been on!
If you have any questions or requests please don’t hesitate to ask. As fellow Daxie owners we completely understand how it can be to leave our little lapdogs while we are away. While your dog is in our care they will become part of our family and looked after as if they were our own.
