Being a pet owner is a massive responsibility. Our non-human family members rely on their human parents for everything. If we get it right, and why wouldn't we? We are repaid with their love and devotion, and that's a great feeling. On the other hand. get it wrong, or much worse, treat them cruelly or violently then we can only be described as, I will let you insert your own word or words here, but you get my meaning. As pet owners, we are all subject to certain UK laws and regulations (Note: some laws may differ in the devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Thanks to the Blue Cross website for this.  Animal Welfare All animals have the right to five basic rights, sometimes referred to as the 'Five Freedoms.'

Two Cats Pet Care

Like most small businesses, this lockdown has had and is still having a massive effect on business. My weekly revenue is down by about 60%, which is a massive drop. Most businesses in the pet care trade are in the same boat. People mainly need us when they can't be at home themselves to care for or walk their pets. Working from home or on furlough they enjoy doing it themself. Which is fair enough. So, that means things won't get back to normal for us until our clients are able to go back to their own normal working lives. Hopefully, that time is not too far away. While we wait, stay safe and stay positive. Things will get better. Most importantly keep social distancing.  Two Cats Pet Care

During the period of Lockdown, most of my clients haven't required my services because they are working from home and able to walk their dogs themself. Also, in most cases, it would have been very difficult to maintain the required distance when collecting or returning their dogs. Financially this has been very hard for me. But I'm not alone in that sacrifice. With Prime Minister Johnsons announcement tonight (10th May) about the roadmap out of lockdown, it appears that many people, who can, are to be encouraged to go back to work. At the moment, I have no idea how this might affect my clients currently working from home, and when I will get back to, for want of a better phrase, back to full production. All I can be is to be ready and willing to get back to my four legged friends, whom I miss massively, just as soon as their owners give me the nod. www.twocatspetcare.com  info.twocatspc@gmail.com

Hi, Again. Well, the answer to the latter part of the question is simple, I have two one year old cats called Dotty and Sally. The answer to the first part is a little more complex. Between 2013 when my mum died and up last year when he died I was my dad's carer. For the first year or so of that, it was because he was badly hit by mums death, and he was also basically useless around the house. He knew what a cooker and washing machine looked like, but how they worked was a complete mystery. During the first couple of years, I was able to carry on working. However, at the start of about 2015 I started noticing things weren't quite right with Dad. To cut a long story short, after tests he was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. My Dad was the last person I ever thought would get this. So began the hard work of caring for a man in his eighties whose memory and grasp on reality was slowly disappearing daily. In 2018, Things had gotten so bad that it had become impossible for me...

Hi, Welcome To Two Cats First Ever Blog Post. Things are not easy for many of us right now. Two cats Pet Care was just about 5 months old when the lockdown hit. Things businesswise had been slowly developing and income was slowly increasing. When lockdown hit it would have been so easy to throw in the towel and give up. But I couldn't and wouldn't do that. For one reason, I'm too stubborn to do that, and for a second I know my clients will do their very best to stick with me when things return to whatever normal is at the end of this. It's so easy to feel negative, and believe me there are many times when I feel negative about the situation. But that negativity achieves nothing. So, I try as much as possible to stay positive and look at the glass as being neither half empty or half full but tell myself I'm lucky to have a glass in the first place. Things will get better, we just need to hang in there for now and keep doing things to not only keep our br...
