Peggy Goes to All About Dogs Show

🐾 Come Join Us at the All About Dogs Show – Use PEGGYSTAFFY10 for 10% Off!

We’re so excited to share one of our favourite events of the year — the incredible All About Dogs Show! It’s the ultimate day out for dog lovers, packed with live entertainment, shopping, have-a-go activities, and of course, lots of four-legged fun. 🐶✨

Peggy has already made appearances at Newbury Showground and Hylands Park this year, and we’re gearing up for the next show in Norfolk — we’d love for you to come too!

We’ve had an exciting few weeks taking part in some brilliant dog shows, and our star, Peggy, certainly turned heads! 🐶✨

Our journey began at Newbury Showground, where Peggy entered the Judges’ Favourite category and placed an impressive 5th. It was a great atmosphere with lots of friendly faces, wagging tails, and a warm sense of community. Peggy loved all the attention – and the treats didn’t hurt either!

Then came the Hylands Park show, which was even more eventful. Peggy wowed the judges and landed a fantastic 2nd place in the same category! We were over the moon with how she performed – tail wagging all the way.

But it wasn’t just about ribbons and rankings. Hylands Park was packed with fun activities for dogs and their humans. Peggy had a go at the Napo Sniff Maze, where she had to use her nose to track down a ‘missing person’. She took the challenge seriously (with a few tail wags and detours), and it was amazing to see her instincts in action.

After all that sniffing, she cooled off in the Buddy Care ball-pit bath, which she absolutely loved. It was a playful and refreshing moment – perfect for a warm day.

We also couldn’t resist snapping some photos at the various small business photo props around the event. Peggy looked adorable in every single one (though we may be a little biased!).

All in all, both events were full of fun, fur, and unforgettable moments. We can’t wait for the next adventure!

Peggy's New Dog Bowl from Easy Eats

 🍽️ Slower, Healthier Mealtimes with the Easy Eats Slow Feeder Bowl from DogsDogsDogs.uk 🐶

Mealtime just got an upgrade! Peggy was recently gifted the Easy Eats Slow Feeder Bowl from the lovely team at DogsDogsDogs.uk, and we’ve been so impressed with the difference it’s made in her eating habits, posture, and overall digestion.

If your pup is a fast eater (like Peggy was!), you’ll definitely want to read on — and we’ve got a 10% discount code for you too: PEGGY10 🐾

🐾 Why Use a Slow Feeder Bowl?

Fast eating can cause all kinds of issues in dogs, from bloating and gas to poor digestion and choking. Peggy used to gobble down her meals in seconds — and it wasn’t doing her any favours.

The Easy Eats Slow Feeder Bowl helps to slow her down, encourages better chewing, and supports healthier digestion. The clever ridged design naturally slows eating and turns mealtime into a fun little puzzle!

💕 Peggy’s Experience

Since switching to the Easy Eats Bowl, we’ve noticed such a positive change in Peggy’s posture while eating. The bowl design helps her stay in a comfortable, natural position, which is especially important for long-term joint and spine health — especially for smaller or long-bodied breeds like her.

Plus, watching her gently navigate the ridges to get her food is actually quite cute. It's mentally stimulating too!

✨ Easy to Clean – Dishwasher Safe!

Let’s be honest — no one wants extra dishes. Thankfully, the Easy Eats Slow Feeder Bowl is dishwasher safe and super easy to rinse between uses. It’s made from pet-safe materials and built to last, even with daily use.

🎁 Try It Yourself – Use PEGGY10 for 10% Off

We’re thrilled to share our exclusive discount code for anyone looking to try this amazing feeder. Just head over to DogsDogsDogs.uk and use code PEGGY10 at checkout for 10% off your order.

Whether you have a fast-eating puppy or a senior dog who needs a little help at mealtimes, this bowl is a game-changer.

We chose the baby pink & forest green bottle, and not only does it look beautiful, but it’s also incredibly practical. The insulated design keeps water cool, and the materials are strong and adventure-proof (perfect for all of Peggy’s energetic outings!).

🐕 Peggy's New Favourite Walking Companion

Whether we’re hiking in the woods or just out for a long day exploring, this bottle goes everywhere with us. Peggy loves having a quick drink on the go, and I love that it keeps everything tidy and easy to carry.

Peggy does Hydrotherapy

 

💧 Peggy’s Hydrotherapy Journey – Healing Without Surgery 🐾

Last year, we were hit with some worrying news about Peggy’s health. After noticing some signs of discomfort, limping and stiffness, we took her for a check-up—and she was diagnosed with possible elbow dysplasia. As a young and active pup who loves her adventures, the idea of long-term mobility issues or surgery was heartbreaking.

But thankfully, with some early action and an incredible team behind her, we’ve managed to avoid surgery and help Peggy feel better, stronger, and happier than ever!

🐶 What Is Elbow Dysplasia?

Elbow dysplasia is a common condition in dogs, especially in larger breeds, where the elbow joint doesn’t develop properly. It can cause pain, stiffness, and long-term arthritis if not treated early. While Peggy’s case wasn’t confirmed as severe, there was enough concern for us to act quickly and explore non-invasive treatments.

💦 Starting Hydrotherapy at Kent Canine Therapy Centre

We were lucky to find the amazing team at Kent Canine Therapy Centre, where Peggy began her hydrotherapy sessions. From the first appointment, the care and attention given to her was incredible.

Hydrotherapy involves gentle exercise in water, which supports the joints while building muscle strength and improving mobility. It was the perfect way to help Peggy regain her confidence and movement without putting extra stress on her elbows.

Each week, she grew stronger, more relaxed, and even began to enjoy the water (even if she still thinks she’s too fancy for a swim cap!).

🌿 Adding CBD Drops to Her Routine

Alongside hydrotherapy, we also introduced regular CBD drops into Peggy’s routine. These helped to reduce inflammation, ease any discomfort, and support her overall wellness in a natural, gentle way.

We always recommend consulting your vet first when using CBD, but for Peggy, it became a great companion to her physical therapy.

✅ The Results: No Surgery, No Setbacks

Fast forward a few months, and we are so relieved to share that Peggy has made amazing progress. Thanks to her hydrotherapy sessions and holistic care, we’ve avoided surgery and kept her condition stable without complications. She’s back to zoomies, countryside walks, and even climbing up on the sofa like nothing ever happened!

🐾 A Huge Thank You

We’re incredibly grateful to the team at Kent Canine Therapy Centre for their support, expertise, and kindness. They made what could have been a scary journey into something empowering and positive — not just for Peggy, but for me too.

💬 Could Hydrotherapy Help Your Dog?

If your pup is facing joint issues, recovering from surgery, or just needs support in their movement, hydrotherapy is an amazing option to explore. And if you're local to Kent, we highly recommend checking out Kent Canine Therapy Centre — they truly care and it shows in everything they do.

Here’s their website again if you’d like to learn more: www.kentcaninetherapycentre.co.uk

🐕‍🦺 Peggy’s Not Slowing Down

Peggy’s journey reminded us that early intervention, a bit of water therapy, and a whole lot of love can go a long way. She may have had a rocky start, but now she’s stronger than ever — and ready for her next adventure.

Peggy goes and Housesits and Makes a New Friend

🐾 Mummy Does Pet Sitting and Dog Walking – And I Get to Join in on the Fun!

Many of you already know that my mummy is a busy bee! Alongside her usual duties, she has a part-time job that’s super special to both of us. Mummy does dog walking and pet sitting, and it’s a job that she absolutely loves. It all started a little while before I came along, and I’m so glad she decided to give it a go!

🐶 How Mummy Started Dog Walking

As Phoebe and Prue got older, they couldn’t keep up with the long walks that mummy wanted to take, and she began thinking about ways she could stay active while helping other doggies too. That's when she decided to become a dog walker! It was the perfect fit for her, and soon enough, she was out and about with lots of lovely local dogs, enjoying walks in the countryside, parks, and woods.

But it didn’t stop there! Mummy also started doing pet sitting, where she stays in the homes of pets while their mummies and daddies go away on holiday or business trips. It was a way for her to spend time with animals while giving them the love and care they deserve in the comfort of their own homes. 🏡💕

🐾 The Day We Met

A few months after mummy started Wag n Tails, she was scrolling through a pet page when she saw a photo of me. I was just a little pup, and she immediately knew I was the one! A few days later, she picked me up, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. 🐕💖

Even though I’m part of her life now, mummy still does her dog walking and pet sitting business. Sometimes, I even get to go along with her and visit other dogs, like Sky. I have so much fun during these visits! I get to meet new furry friends, explore new places, and enjoy a few days of pure fun and adventure while mummy works.

🏡 What We Offer: Pet Sitting and Dog Walking

Mummy’s services are available to those of you who live in Kent or even further afield! Whether you’re looking for someone to walk your dog or care for your pets while you’re away, mummy and I are here to help! I may even join in on the fun—who knows?

Here’s a little about what we offer:

• Dog Walking: Regular walks for your furry friends, from short strolls to long adventures.

• Pet Sitting: Mummy stays in your home to take care of your pets while you’re away, giving them all the love they need.

House Sitting: Not only will your pets be looked after, but your home will be too! Mummy will make sure everything is safe and sound while you’re gone.

📬 Get in Touch!

If you’re local to Kent or even a bit further out and want to book me and mummy for pet sitting or dog walking, don’t hesitate to get in touch! We’re always happy to help your furry family members feel loved and cared for.

Peggy Visits a Bluebell Woodlands & Appears on ITV Meridian

🌸 Peggy in the Bluebells – As Seen on ITV Meridian Weather! 📺✨

This spring brought a truly magical moment for us — and we’re still wagging with excitement! While enjoying a peaceful walk through a carpet of blooming bluebells, I captured a photo of Peggy that perfectly summed up the joy and beauty of the season. What I didn’t expect was for that same photo to be featured on ITV Meridian’s Weather segment! 📷🌦️

 

💜 A Picture-Perfect Spring Stroll

There’s something so special about bluebell season in the UK. The soft, violet blooms, the sunlight filtering through the trees, and Peggy bounding joyfully through it all — it felt like a scene from a storybook. I snapped a photo of her sitting sweetly among the flowers, looking totally in her element. It was one of those photos that just felt right — full of colour, light, and of course, Peggy’s signature charm.

 

📺 Our ITV Weather Moment

To my delight, I submitted the photo to ITV Meridian Weather, and they chose to share it during their evening segment! Seeing Peggy’s face pop up on the TV screen, surrounded by bluebells and broadcast to viewers across the region, was such a proud (and slightly surreal!) moment.

We’ve had a lot of amazing adventures together, but being part of the weather report? That’s a new one for the scrapbook!

 

🐾 Why This Means So Much

Peggy brings so much happiness into my life, and I love that her joyful energy can now brighten the screens and hearts of others too. Having her featured on TV felt like a sweet little recognition of how special our pets truly are — not just to us, but to everyone who gets a glimpse of their light.

 

📸 Want to See the Photo?

You can find the featured bluebell photo over on our Instagram @peggy_the_kentish_staffy — feel free to share the love if you spot it! 💙✨

💬 Have You Seen It?

If you caught our moment on ITV Meridian, let us know — we'd love to hear from you! And if you’re out exploring bluebell woods with your own furry friend this season, don’t forget to take your camera — you never know where one photo might take you!
