Dogs can help make great festive friends
Barking Mad is a service provider of five star rated dog care and fulfills a need for older dog lovers who have sadly lost a beloved pet or who don’t want, or can’t commit, to the emotional and financial commitment of dog ownership.
The dog holiday specialists offer the life-enhancing opportunity of becoming a ‘host’ by caring for other people’s pets whilst their owners are away.
This arrangement is professionally arranged, fully supported and made easy to take part in, with the cost, administration and transport aspects all fully taken care of.
Having a dog to stay obviously provides a loving canine friendship but Barking Mad’s hosts are just as importantly, able to tap into the social benefits of joining a community of like-minded people.
Barking Mad host community. Barking Mad founder and MD, Lee Dancy, said: “It is such a wonderful feeling to see groups of like-minded people brought together, where the common thread is the love of dogs. Conversations and friendships are struck up easily over a shared interest and people love the sense of community.”
Age UK will be promoting their No one should have no one at Christmas campaign at the start of November to improve the statistic that two in five older people only have a television for company.
In addition, the World Health Organisation’s ‘Take a Stand Against Ageism’ campaign states that our senior citizens are “overlooked for employment, restricted from social services and stereotyped in the media.”
