Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I can’t believe another year has gone so fast! I just want to take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and also thank you for you support that you have given Friends for Pets this year.

We really appreciate you trusting us with the care of your precious family member and we have enjoyed every moment that we spend with them. We have an exceptionally busy year with a brand new franchisee joining us and three existing franchisees taking on an additional territory to enable the spread of our services even further. With the pet care industry booming we look forward to seeing further growth in 2023!

We hope that you get some relaxation time and spend some quality time with your pets over Christmas and look forward to seeing you in the new year!

Lots of love Becca and the FFP team xx

We were featured on the BBC!

Many of you might know already that the BBC news picked up on one of our poo patrols that we did in our new Brecon team in the summer where we clear an area in the territories we operate in to highlight the dog poo problem. Well done Lucy and Elen! You can read more about their story here
