Mutts in Distress

Welcome

A qualified and approved microchipping centre
Identity Discs sold and engraved while you wait

Dog training classes

Please note that this is a private number and so we ask you to only call between 9.00am and 7.30pm unless a genuine emergency. Otherwise, use our contact form.

Can you offer a tin of dog food please ?

Due to living as strays and eating whatever they could find, we have several dogs arriving with poorly tummies. We are getting through so much tinned Chappie, that we are stripping the shop shelves of the stuff!
This is an appeal for donations of tins of dog food eg. Butchers Tripe please (not gravy), either loaf or jelly. It smells yummy and if we can’t get them to eat the Chappie, they will often eat the tripe. We are desperate for more tins due to a huge demand.

Can you add a tin or two to your shopping please ? (We do have drop off points for people in Harlow if it’s not convenient to come to the kennels).

THANK YOU!

Help needed

Can you offer a foster home to one of the needy dogs waiting for their chance at home life?

Foster homes are urgently required as there are too many dogs for the kennel spaces available.

We also really need a homechecker for the Bedford area.

Does anyone have some spare fencing panels ? If you have any that are surplus to requirements, please call the kennels who will gratefully take them off your hands.
