Scamps And Champs are looking for host families to look after dogs in their own homes whilst their owners are on holiday. We offer a real alternative to traditional kennels and we are looking for new hosts to add to our team. You must have a secure garden and be at home for most of the day. This is an ideal opportunity to be home based and work with animals.

 

This is a self-employed home-based position, is very flexible and fits around your lifestyle. You will only be looking after dogs from the same household.

Is your dog micro-chipped? If not and the unthinkable happened would your dog be able to be reunited with you? Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home is offering low cost micro-chipping to the general public at just £5 per dog.

A microchip means that we or another authorised body can contact the registered owners of a lost

dog within minutes of it arriving in our care.

If you would like to have your dog micro-chipped at the reduced rate of £5.00 then please visit the Home during our opening times of 1pm - 5pm Monday - Saturday or 1pm - 4pm on Sundays.

Our latest customer review on the Free Index business website - After moving to a new area I had to find a new cat sitter for my cat Izzy. Scamps and Champs seemed reasonable prices and had good reviews. The initial meeting was great, Lesley came and met Izzy and asked me about any special care for her. I booked her over the Christmas break at very reasonable rates. When I returned from my break Lesley had written down a day-by-day account of the care she had given and if there were any problems. All in all a very good service. Thank you.

Your dogs hygiene is as important as your own and a dog's teeth should not be overlooked.

Your dogs teeth and gums still get a build up of plaque and bacteria even when their diet is healthy. Every time a dog eats, food will collect along the teeth and food particles build up. Saliva is a dogs natural way to keep a dogs mouth clean but often it is not enough.

Some dogs are more prone to oral problems because of poor teeth alignment, recesses in the mouth (where food gathers), broken teeth or simply hereditary factors.
