🐶 𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗢𝗡'𝗦 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗪𝗢𝗢𝗙 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗘𝗧! 🐶

On Saturday I had the privilege of spending the day out in Miramar for the first Woof Market in Wellington! It was a HUGE turn out and I was spoilt getting to meet so many amazing pups 😍

The most popular comment throughout the day was how joyful it was seeing all the dogs coming in, getting the treats, having fun meeting other dogs, and you simply couldn't not smile experiencing it all! 🥹

Thank you so much to Foxtail Events Community Markets for organising the event, the lovely stall holders who were so friendly and had some amazing products, and of course to all the pups and their owners who came out. I can't wait for the next one 🐾

A huge shout-out and thank you 🙏 🌸 to the lovely Em from Em Boyle Photography for giving up such a big chunk of her precious weekend to photograph our Black Dog Physio Open Day yesterday. 🖤🐾📸

There was SO much going on — dogs everywhere, people chatting, lots of catching up, demonstrations, laughs and plenty of general Black Dog chaos! 😂

I honestly don’t know how we would have captured all those special moments ourselves. We got snippets, but I’m so looking forward to seeing the photos from Em.

Em was quietly capturing all the little moments happening around us while we were busy enjoying the day (except maybe Stu on the outside bbq - in a southerly blizzard 💨⛈️ !?! ) We love you Stu ❤️

We are so grateful that Em gave up so much of her valuable weekend to be there with us. 📸

Thank you Em 🐾

🎂 𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗗𝗢𝗚 𝗣𝗛𝗬𝗦𝗜𝗢'𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗗 𝗕𝗜𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗬! 🎂

Yesterday I had the absolute privilege of attending Dog Physio's third birthday party! So many lovely people and pups braved the weather to come and celebrate with the amazing team and enjoy trying out some hydrotherapy and finding out more about what Black Dog Physio offers 😍

I had so much fun and I cannot recommend Black Dog Physio enough! Every one of their team members are incredible, super friendly and approachable, and their facilities are top notch (there were lots of comments and surprise at how warm the pups were when they were coming out of the hydrotherapy as the water is heated for the dogs)!

So if you've been wondering about hydrotherapy or physiotherapy for your pup, don't hesitate to reach out the team. 🐶

And a huge congratulations on three wonderful years, Black Dog Physio!! 🥳
