Any visitors whose dogs need veterinary advice/ treatment I recommend Dunmuir Vets in Castle Douglas.
Winston visiting this week cracked his nail lengthways. Had an appointment this afternoon and immediately taken in to have the nail cut above the tear under anaesthetic.
Very good value for money as total bill including sedation, pain relief and consultation was under £70.
Here he is after his operation! Get well soon Winston!

Beautiful afternoon at Sandyhills beach. A few holiday makers enjoying the sunshine but loads of space for the 🐾🐾🐾☀️☀️☀️. Angus, Brig , Cari , Bella and Orla had fun! The car park is £6 but if you’re lucky there are spaces before you go in that are free for a shorter visit.

Andrew , Debbie and their two spaniels Sidney and Cyril enjoyed a bit of good weather while here last week!
