Media & Communications Manager
CAVOODLE – 02.03.20
Chips is a COVID 2020 lockdown puppy!
He loves being on boats and days at the beach. He hates the car and is terrified of windy days.
Chips is a pampered pooch and expects the best, which means mostly human food!
He will do absolutely anything for a Vitapet Milky Stick. Some of his most impressive tricks are ‘dance’, ‘smile’ and ‘bang/play dead’.
DACHSHUND – 21.07.19
Freddie arrived at his furever home in 2019, after Patty’s daughter Harper developed a fascination with sausage dogs.
He loves tummy rubs and his little humans, but can be a bit of an a*hole to other dogs.
Freddie is known in the office as the long snoot boy.
He loves liver treats, carrots and basically anything the little humans drop on the floor.
GROODLE – 1.11.21
CAVOCKER – 30.09.2021
Named after Maddie’s Guzman Y Gomez order (Cali Burrito FYI), Cali would play fetch all day if possible, LOVES the dog park and grumbles like Marge Simpson if she doesn’t get her way.
When they say owners look like their dogs, they are talking about Maddie and Cali – they are two peas in a pod and Maddie often refers to Cali as her fur-st born child.
German Short-haired Pointer – 10.12.2011
Gino is a large 35kg cuddly GSP who loves being close to his family, known as the Big velcro dog. Gino is by far the largest Good boy. Gino loves long walks followed by a full day of snoozing on the lounge.
