We are proud to announce our new arrival to the company, she is a Citroen Relay 1.9L Diesel Van.  Our new arrival shown below will improve on both fuel efficiency around town and comfort and safety for your dogs. It also means that we can now offer a pet taxi service should you require transport for your dogs to the kennels prior to your well deserved holiday or if you get stuck for transport to the vet or groomer.  On delivery of our Citroen I was amazed at how easy this vehicle was to drive and park, it’s turning circle is so good that it can turn 360 degrees on a mini roundabout which I can’t even achieve even in my wife’s Peugeot 206. I do hope that you like the eye catching graphics.

NEWS – Dog Safety and comfort
In my quest to provide your pets with the best conditions whilst traveling to and from walks or between vet or kennel visits (Pet Taxi), I have just purchased some new extremely strong dog crates for the van. These custom dog crates and are constructed from aircraft aluminium which make them extra strong & very light, each crate has vents all round for excellent air movement/cooling.

New dog crates constructed from aircraft aluminium

Each one of these crates is to be lined with Vetbed
* Very long lasting
* Machine washable
* Thick pile (25mm)
* Double woven – makes it harder to chew.
* Hygienic – non irritant and non-allergic, will not support bacterial growth.
* Recommended by vets – the beds they use the most.
* Drains and dries fast – keeps your pets warm and dry even if accidents happen.

On Board Dog Shower

From time to time some of my dogs like to get down and dirty, sometimes in deep mud (this is fine by me), at other times some like to raise/lower their scent pattern and roll, in, well,  this stuff is so disgusting that even the foxes disguard it. Whilst smelling foxy in the forest is socially acceptable for the pack, smelling this bad is not acceptable whilst traveling back home in the van. What’s required is a power shower that can be used whilst still at the walk site.

Introducing the Hand Pump Pressure Washer

‘The Hand Pump Pressure Washer is the most versatile water-saving product we’ve come across. It relies neither on electricity nor a hosepipe, so you can use it for just about everything, at any time and anywhere, whether at home or in a remote field. With its adjustable pressurised spray delivered through a handy trigger system, you can use water efficiently and effectively, choosing to apply a range of sprays from concentrated jet to a fine mist.

Cool Dogs travel in TakeMyLead style – Hot Dogs are only good inside buns

I have now found two very cool and green solutions to bringing in cool air and also for the extraction of warm air from the interior of the dog van.  Without using any other power but that of the sun, whether on the move or whilst stationary, cool fresh air can be drawn into the van and hot air expelled (need to add one above the drivers side – wife’s suggestion lol)
