Elmtree’s Charity – Elmtree Pet Foundation

(Project: Feeding Fido)

As the cost of living prices continue to rise, we understand this has made it difficult to feed your furry loved ones, which is why Elmtree Pet Foundation are proud to announce its latest charitable project, Feeding Fido.

Feeding Fido has been set up to support pet owners in need within North London. Feeding Fido helps people who are struggling to feed their pets, including both dogs and cats. Whether this is because of unemployment, health issues, personal struggles, or low income after retirement or unemployment.

We understand that for many people a much-loved pet can make a huge difference to their happiness and wellbeing, especially if you are lonely or vulnerable. So, Feeding Fido are here to help keep you together! We do this by providing local and regular deliveries of pet food. We have a large range of dry and wet dog/cat feeds available and one of our trained volunteers will deliver this straight to your door.

At present we cover Enfield, Barnet, Southgate, Broxbourne, Cheshunt, Hoddesdon, specifically these postcodes: EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4, EN5, EN6, EN7, EN8, N1, N2, N5, N6, N8, N10, N11, N12, N13, N14, N19, N20, N21, N22, NW3, NW1.

Our process is simple – once you fill in our form, one of our team members’ will be in contact to discuss the next steps and your options for delivery. Our team is here to answer any questions you may have about the service, so do get in touch.

Feeding Fido is partly funded through the profits from Elmtree Pet Hotel. However, we also receive generous donations from food manufacturers, supermarkets, plus private donations and people fundraising for us. We are so grateful for the ongoing support that helps us do what we love.

Every donation goes directly to providing meals and supporting our motto helping keep loved ones together. You can donate via our dedicated DonorBox platform on our website. Any donation, big or small, allows us to carry on supporting people and their pets in need. Your money will go directly to funding fortnightly and weekly food donations.

Elmtree Doggy Day Care

Leaving your favourite four-legged friend in daycare can seem like a daunting prospect. No-one likes the prospect of abandoning their pet but sometimes it is necessary. When searching for Doggie Daycare services you will want to find somewhere that provides an as hospitable and welcoming environment as possible.

At Elmtree Doggy Daycare Services in London, we pride ourselves on our passion for pampering your pooch within utterly luxurious surroundings. If dog daycare makes you think of a sparse, depressing kennel environment, then you really need to see our state of the art daycare centre to believe it. Not only does each visitor get their own room with comfy bedding and even a TV, there is also a webcam installed so that you can keep an eye on your best friend whilst you’re away from them.

We realise that every pet is unique and therefore we like to work with clients on an individual basis to find out how we can best look after your dog whilst you’re away. Whether your dog is quiet and introverted or lively and active, we promise we’ll be able to provide a safe and nurturing environment. We are also delighted to look after dogs with specific medical conditions or other requirements – again, we take great care to work with you individually when you are booking your beloved pet in for a stay.

As well as luxury accommodation, pets enjoying a stay at Elmtree Doggy Day Care will also get the chance to partake in a whole host of exciting outdoor activities at our prestigious Elmtree Canine Country Club to keep them entertained whilst their owner is away. Whether it’s roaming around an expansive four acre woodland or frolicking in the splash pools, your dog is sure to have the time of his or her life!

Introduction to our Dog Day Care Service

Well, it’s certainly been an extremely busy, but a very exciting, year for Elmtree.

In April we opened our indoor/outdoor pet training & education centre which offers many different classes and workshops for dogs and owners. We now have a great weekly timetable of classes and also lots of specialist workshops throughout the year so if you are looking to take part in some training with your dog or if you have some free time that you would like to spend doing something fun with your dog like agility, flyball or rally then why not pop into the centre and speak to one of our qualified trainers or behaviourists. Remember a well trained dog is a happy dog and a well behaved dog will mean a happy owner. Directions from Enfield: Turn right onto Burnt Farm Ride at Jollyes Pet Store in Crews Hill, Enfield. Then follow the road until you come under the M25 bridge. As you come under the bridge our new training centre is just on the left. Use Postcode: EN2 9DY. Contact Lyn on 07983382449.

In June we held our grand opening and family fun dog show at our new facilities, Elmtree Canine Country Club. Our newly built luxury dog boarding facilities was opened by the mayor & mayoress who also took part in some classes with their dog on the day. If you missed it then look out for the date of our next annual family fun charity dog show… It’s a fantastic day out! The day after our official opening our newly built building for luxury dog boarding started to fill up and we soon found that it wasn’t long before we were completely full at this site too.

From 1st September Elmtree is now able to provide a bespoke London Doggy Day Care service at our new purpose built day care centre on the borders of Enfield, London & Broxbourne, Hertfordshire. For just £36 per day all inclusive, one of our qualified staff will collect your dog in the morning and drop him/her home in the evening after a day filled with lots of playing and fun. We have 2 brand new vehicles that have been designed and equipped by Lintran which will provide your dog a safe and comfortable journey to and from our facilities.

To start with, our daycare service will be available from Monday to Friday during the hours of 8am and 6pm. We are also offering daycare to clients that would prefer to deliver and collect their dogs to the centre rather than using the chauffeur service.

Our newly built day care centre is like no other in the UK. Our facilities and the service we provide will ensure that you have complete piece of mind whilst your dog is in our care. Our centre has specifically been designed to specialise in dogs that need extra care, attention and a much more personal service. A safe and caring environment for dogs that suffer with conditions such as separation anxiety, mobility problems, arthritis, disabilities and also dogs that require medications or post operative care. We would be more than happy to discuss and special requirements that your dog may have.

Over the last few years It has become very clear to me that there has been a great need for a doggy day care service in London that can provide care for dogs that do not necessarily want to be out playing with other dogs all day, dogs that prefer to be walked on their own and not harassed by other dogs and this is what sets Elmtree apart from any other day care centres. We have created a home from home environment that these kind of dogs will enjoy. Each guest will have their own private room with doggy TV, luxury beds and furnishing etc. Every room is also equipped with a built in webcam so you keep a close eye on you dog whilst they are in our care.

Of course we will also be offering daycare for normal pet dogs that want to socialise with other dogs and have a fun filled day. You dog, our guest will enjoy all of the facilities which include a 4 acre fully enclosed woodland, splash pools, an outdoor agility arena, enclosed grass paddocks and much much more…

To find out more please visit our website OR speak to a member of the team on 02083674625. We also have open viewings from 2pm to 4pm Monday to Saturday.
