‼️ TRAFFIC UPDATE ‼️ We believe the road before Headhill is now back to traffic light control. They are now starting to work on the other side which means the exit from the Thanet way appears to be shut, you can carry on to Waterham Road or Highstreet Road/Monkshill and come through Graveney village. What a faff! We’re really sorry if this causes anyone issues, we’ve tried to get the most up to date info from the company but they’re not updating as they open/close roads so please everyone give yourselves an extra 5 minutes!
Very helpfully, the road just before the Headhill junction has now been fully closed with no warning and no updates. Please factor this is when travelling to the field. I have also had some murmurings of other closures in Boughton so if you are aware of any other closed roads we would love a heads up
A couple of new additions to the field this week…. Our ‘Lost and Hound’ box where we will put any toys, clothing and any other bits and bobs that have been dropped or forgotten in the field and, the ‘Toy Box’ where there will be a selection of toys to play with during your session - Please remember to put these back at the end of your appointment 🐾
❗️ PLEASE CHECK YOUR BOOKING TIME ❗️ We know life is busy and we all get muddled up occasionally but can we ask that you double check your booking time (we send out confirmation emails at the time of booking and text reminders a few hours before your appt). This will hopefully help us avoid people mistakenly being in the field on the wrong day or time when someone turns up for their session - thanks everyone!
‼️ POORLY POOCHES ‼️ Please be aware that there appears to be an illness circulating around Medway and Swale areas causing sickness and diarrhoea in dogs. If you have any suspicious that your dog may be poorly DO NOT take them out on walks and please make us aware so your appointment can be changed, we do not want to risk making dogs ill! Please also remember that your dog must be clear of all illness for at least 48 hours before you bring them back to use the field. Thank you for your cooperation on this - let’s keep our dogs safe 🐾
Something I never thought we would have an issue with running a dog field…. 😬 It’s moulting season! And we completely understand the desire to get out in the open and maybe give your dog a good brush through but PLEEEASE can we ask if the fancy takes you while you are here, that you treat it like rubbish and ➡️take it with you⬅️ It doesn’t blow away in the breeze (or at least, it only gets as far as the fence line then sticks all over that), it sticks in the damp grass, gets trodden into the dirt and in this case, sits in the stones and makes a right old mess that needed to be cleaned up 😣 Please keep our field tidy for everyone 🐾 💚
The Yappiest of Christmases to you all!! We hope you spend the festive season doing what you most enjoy (with maybe a couple of dog walks thrown in for good measure!) and that Santa Paws got your dogs requests too 🐾 We will be taking a little time away from the computer and phone over the next week so any general enquiries we may not respond to straight away. We are still contactable on the phone for emergencies. Have a wonderful Christmas from us and our motley crew 🐾
Now that we have OFFICIALLY breached the ‘one month to go’ mark I feel I am safe mentioning the ‘C’ word! We will be open for the whole festive season so you can tire the pooches out and go back to mince pies and seasonal TV without an ounce of guilt! OUR CHRISTMAS AND BOXING DAY SLOTS ARE FILLING FAST! So please, if you want to book up, don’t miss out. Don’t forget, you can also buy gift vouchers on our booking system so if you know someone who loves using our field, it could be the PERFECT Chrimbo present 🎅🏽
Time to get your best Halloween pose out! Our little shed is now spooky season ready 👻 Make sure you get some pictures of your pooches posing and tag us when you post them (or send them to us if you’re not sure how to tag) - we will pick our three favourite pictures to win a free field session 🎃
GOOD NEWS!! Our fences are fixed and as good as new - all bookings can go ahead as normal from Thursday morning 🤩 We will contact those who have missed appointments in the last three days to make sure you get those walks booked back in 🐾 Thank you everyone for your understanding - it wasn’t the start we had planned for the week that’s for sure!! We do have the added bonus of a giant tree branch for your pooches to investigate now too 🙈😅
🐾 A Safe Space for All Dogs 🐾 At East Kent Dog Fields we understand the importance of providing a stress-free environment, especially for reactive dogs. That's why we've built a 15-minute buffer between all bookings so there is ZERO risk of bumping into other dogs, vehicles, or people in the car park. 🚗 Key Reminders: - Please don’t arrive before your allotted time (this includes waiting in the car park or adjoining access road) . - Ensure you are leaving the car park by the end of your allotted session. - During the 15-minute buffer, the car park should be empty so we can check everything is in tip-top shape or address any issues before the next group arrives. We take this policy seriously to make sure every dog and owner has a calm, enjoyable experience, free from unwanted confrontations. Thank you for helping us maintain a peaceful, safe space for all! 🐕💚 #ReactiveDogs #SafeDogField #StressFreeWalks @followers
Another lovely review for the field 🥰 We can’t thank you enough for taking the time to post on the page for us 🙂 If anyone had used the field and would like to leave a review it is so helpful for us as a new business 💚 Also, if you have any suggestions or concerns please feel free to reply to our follow-up email with those 🐾
Boomer Ball *incoming*! We have a new ball in town for your dogs to play with. It’s indestructible (supposedly, please nobody take this as a challenge 🤣🤣) Now my dogs don’t play with balls so when your dogs play, SEND US YOUR PICS!! #SecureDogWalking #DogFieldFaversham #FavershamDogs #KentDogWalking #SafeDogExercise #PrivateDogField
🐾 Happy International Dog Day! 🐾 Today, we celebrate our loyal friends who bring so much joy, love, and endless tail wags into our lives. Whether they're by our side for morning walks, comforting us after a long day, or simply making us smile with their antics, dogs truly are our best friends. Share a photo of your dog here in the comments, whether they're big or small, young or old, a purebred or a lovable mix—and tell us what makes them special to you. Here’s our motley crew over the years, some gone and very much missed but all very loved ❤️ #InternationalDogDay #mansbestfriend #womansbestfriend #doglife #dogwalking @followers
