Natalie Watkins who owns the Happy Li'l Yapper Canine Bakery. says; - ' With the help of my taste testing terrier I hand bake good quality pet treats. only using human grade ingredients to hand prepare and bake in my kitchen at home, based in Warwickshire. We do not use any artificial colourings, flavourings or preservatives - only good old fashioned love to make your Li'l Yapper a Happy One!'
There will be the opportunity to buy some of the treats during the lunch break to take home for your canine pals.
First Aid is a topic which is often asked for and we hope this talk will provide some interesting and useful hints on what to do when problems arise either before going to the vet or to deal with minor problems more confidently yourself. Breeding and whelping is a topic which has been enjoyed before, and this time we will also hear about how to deal with problems that may occur, how to rear orphan or abandoned whelps and every aspect of breeding a litter for the novice and expert alike.
Kathryne says;- 'with both my parents being vets I have grown up with animals and in particularly showing and breeding dogs. I grew up with Gordon Setters and Airedale terriers, along with a few smooth Fox terriers. i worked in a busy boarding kennel and GSD breeding and show kennel before joining my local veterinary practice. i have been working as a Registered Veterinary Nurse for the past 12 years. My main interest is canine reproduction and I have been running successful canine antenatal clinics since 2008. in 2010 I passed my Dog Breeding Diploma ( animal care college) with distinction. I can talk about dog breeding all day, every day!
