More about the prizes…

I’ve been lucky enough to team up with some wonderful brands to put together this amazing prize bundle.

One lucky winner will receive…

1. A Pawfit Lite GPS tracker in Charcoal Grey with 3 months free subscription included.

The Pawfit GPS tracker works by connecting to three or more satellites to calculate your pet’s precise location. Unlike other trackers, Pawfit uses true 4g mobile technology to quickly and reliably send the GPS location updates to your phone app.

2. A Perfectfit harness in the size of your choosing.

The modular PerfectFit Harness is made up of three pieces, designed to cater for each section of the dog’s chest, ensuring a safe, snug and comfortable fit for almost any size and shape of dog.

3. A clinical canine massage session with Colchester Canine Massage.

As a guild therapist, Fiona uses 4 disciplines of massage and the Lenton Method® of advanced myofascial release to achieve results in just 1-3 sessions. Colchester Canine Massage is based in Rowhedge.

4. A selection box of hand-made dog treats from local business Bones& Belly Rubs.

Kirsty has been running Bones & Belly Rubs Daycare and Pet Bakery since 2019. She loves dogs and really cares about what they eat, so all her treats are all natural and free from dairy and and nasties.

5. A beautiful hand-drawn, personalised pet portrait from me!

Every portrait is drawn digitally by hand – no AI, no automated tools – and each piece is treated as an individual artwork, not a template. You will get a printed A4 artwork, on high-quality fine art paper. Portraits are created from photographs you provide.

6. A food-grade silicone enrichment bowl from local business Woof Wiggle Wag.

Woof Wiggle Wag is a small, local, family run business offering a collection of premium slow feeding and enrichment bowls. They love the variety and excitement that these products can bring to an otherwise mundane mealtime routine!

A BIG thank you to all of the brands that have got involved in the giveaway.

 

 

Dog walking

At Ginger and Tails my dog walks take place in a variety of scenic locations across country parks in Colchester.

Pet sitting

Pet sitting in your own home is a great alternative to a cattery or kennel if your pet gets anxious staying in a new place.

Pet portraits

Beautiful, digitally hand-drawn portraits of your best friend for you to keep forever.

I cannot recommend Ginger and Tails highly enough! We have used Holly for both sits and walks for our cocker spaniels. She always provides a professional, reliable and friendly service. The girls look forward to their walks with her and I know they are in good hands.

– Rosie & Gwen

We had the pleasure of having Holly at Ginger and Tails look after our cat, Dragon, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Her genuine love for animals shines through – she’s not just a pet sitter, she truly is a dog (and cat!) whisperer.

– Dragon

I can’t recommend Holly enough! I instantly felt comfortable, and I felt at ease knowing Bear was is such good hands. I returned home, and Bear was calm, happy, and had clearly had plenty of stimulation. Holly is trustworthy, communicative, and was great with Bear, I’ll definitely be booking again.

– Bear

Excellent is not enough to describe our experience with Holly. From our first meeting, we could tell this is a passion job for her and her care in taking care of Simba was evident in the communication held throughout our trip.

– Simba

Holly is a great dog walker she is very professional and cares greatly for your dogs. I would highly recommend Holly to anyone that needs a great, kind, caring and professional dog walker.

– Lily & Duke

Holly is fantastic – she has looked after my two cats a number of times and I would recommend her wholeheartedly as a trustworthy, responsible and reliable person.

– Atticus & Scout

We felt completely safe leaving our beloved pets in her care, knowing they were not just being watched, but truly cared for. We will wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy, professional caregiver for their furry companions.

– Buzz & Trigger

Holly has looked after Betty, our quite demanding dachshund, many times and leaves us with complete peace of mind when we are away. She is 100% reliable, trustworthy and loves Betty like we do.

– Betty

Gus has the best time on his walks with Holly. She is professional and courteous and genuinely loves her dogs.

– Gus
