New Puppy? …

Then check into our youth club

Owning a puppy is not an easy task, and at Thameswood
we understand this, which is why we started our youth club service.
Youth clubs are one on one nurse clinics for pups under 1 year, during
which our team is on hand with tips, advice and even a shoulder to cry

on when they’ve just eaten your best pair of shoes!
So call today on 526780 to register and

help keep your pup on the straight and narrow.
