Wow! This year is roaring by and we are already had lots of bookings for the summer holidays! If you are thinking about going away for the summer, we recommend booking before the middle of April as that is usually when we get close to fully booked!

Happy Halloween 2015!
Happy Halloween from Armadillo Pets! We'll be doing our usual charity
collection on the 31st of October for National Black Cat Day. We'll be
doing our work in costume (watch out for our ears and tails - they are
adored by the dogs!), and giving all takings and any donations to our
local Cats Protection, the Farnham and Wey Valley branch.
Back to School 2015
The summer is over, and the kids are back to school! This is the prime time for romantic mini breaks! If you're looking for pet boarding or sitting while you spend some time away, do let us know!

We're starting to get booked up for summer, so if you're looking for small pet boarding for your rats, hamsters, degu, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice, African pygmy hedgehogs, geckos, bearded dragons, turtles, budgies or toads, let us know soon!

Hale Carnival 2015
We're of to the Hale Carnival on Saturday the 4th of July. For the second year in a row we're sponsoring their Fun Dog Show, as well as handing out our free doggie goody bags stuffed with healthy treats! Stop by our stall to say hi, and pick up some tasty snacks for your canine friend, let them have a drink from our water bowls, and then have a go at the dog show at 3pm!
Is your dog the Most Fabulous Fella, the Loveliest Lady, the Scruffiest Dog or the most Regal dog? Do they have the Waggiest Tail in Hale, or perhaps the Best Handshake? And for kids, we have a Junior Handler class for under 16s!
See you then!

We still have some spaces for small pet boarding bookings over the summer holidays this year, from mid July to mid September. We offer boarding for rats, hamsters, degu, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice, African pygmy hedgehogs, geckos, bearded dragons, turtles, budgies and toads, and everything in between! If in doubt, ask! We've had lots of unusual requests, and love rising to new challenges!

Rowledge Village Fayre 2015
Ready for fun and frolics? We're at the Rowledge Village Fayre for the 3rd year running on Bank Holiday Monday, the 25th of May 2015! We're sponsoring the Fun Dog Show, and handing out our traditional free doggy treats, as well as collecting for Serbia's Forgotten Paws. Stop by to say hi and talk all things animals!
Bunny boarding
With our move, our rabbit boarding is currently closed while we organise building our new (and improved!) accommodation. We are not accepting bookings for the future yet, as we cannot guarantee when it will re-open for business, but it is something we are looking forward to prioritising as soon as the weather picks up enough to allow us to start the groundwork!
We will be keeping our reputation for large enclosures, access to both an indoors and out, and good headroom, but also increasing the capacity (although not extensively, we do still wish to keep the personal touch with all of our boarding animals!), and adding some home comforts for visiting bunnies.

Welcome to 2014!
Happy 2014!
After a very busy holiday season, we are now starting to settle into our new property in Hale, the other side of Farnham from before. We had a number of guests over the festive season, with Leo, Popcorn, Nugget, Oreo and Elvis returning, as well as meeting Smudge, Suki, Loki, Malcolm and Fosters for the first time. We also had out-calls to Wilma, Gracie, Puff, Guinea, Piggy, Mebe, Pede, Ramba, Kitty, Beanie, Hoppi and five rowdy ducks! It has been lovely to see old friends and meet new ones, but I have to say we're looking forward to a peaceful week to catch up on unpacking! I'm looking forward to putting up shelves in our pet room for all of our animal books - having them in a series of boxes and bags certainly doesn't make for an easy reference section!

Busy being the best! It's official!
Busy few weeks of late. We've been looking after puppies born at the end of September (first eye opened on 13th - very exciting times!), meeting new clients, meeting new additions to curent clients, seeing old friends we haven't looked after since before the summer, and cracking on with the routine of being the best pet care company in Farnham.
And that last bit isn't an empty brag either - Armadillo Pets was was selected to join the Best Of Farnham team! Voted in by our own clients, we are the first and only pet care company to be invited...ever!
So if you need pet care or advice, and want the best (as recommended by Farnham residents), do contact us here at Armadillo Pets!

Office closure
Please note that our office is now closed until the afternoon of the 21st (Saturday) of September 2013. We apologise for any inconvenience, and will endeavour to reply to all messages on that day.
Dog treats & Summer Boarding
We have lots of dog treats going cheap, including Barking Heads, Fish4Dogs, Pet Munchies, Harringtons, James Wellbeloved, Billy+Margot, and Laughing Dog. We have 6 x 50 litre really useful boxes worth left over from our stall at the Rowledge Village Fayre :)
If you aren't sure on which kind of treat, or want to try a mix, we also do 1 gram of treats for 1p - that is just £1 for 100g of good quality, brand name treats. We can do mixed bags, or stick to specific brands if your dog as a particular favourite!
On an unrelated note, we are now completely booked for boarding and pet sitting until after the 25th of August.

Our summer holidays availability is nearly all gone!

Summer Pet Boarding
Are you off on holiday over the summer? What about your pets, who will care for them? Armadillo Pets offers pet care by knowledgeable, insured and CRB-checked staff. We hear tales of owners that trust neighbours to care for pets who forget during their own holiday bustle, or trusting friends with no experience or knowledge of pet first aid.
Our boarding prices include fresh food, dust-free substrate (suitable for your pet), and large enclosures. We are members of the National Associates of Registered Pet Sitters, and Pet Sitters International. For our small pet owner's peace of mind, we are also members of the Southern Hamster Club, National Fancy Rat Society, Rabbit Welfare Association (RWAF) and the British Exotic Mammal Association.
Trained, insured, CRB-checked, highly knowledgeable, and members of reputable trade and welfare associations...that'll be Armadillo Pets then!
