Puppy owners and their four-legged friends are invited to a weekly 'Puppy Hour' session at the Woburn Sands Pets Corner Store at Frosts Garden Centre.

Every Tuesday, beginning at 9:30am, Pets Corner experts will be instore with tips and advice.

The session, set up specifically for puppies, also gives owners and their animals the invaluable opportunity to socialise.

Collette Burston, store manager, said: “Puppy Hour was created as we often get new owners coming into our store with a long list of questions and queries about how best to look after their new canine family member.

"Having a designated hour each week, just for puppies and their owners, seemed the perfect answer.

“Local puppy owners can come along and speak to our various experts about everything, from which bed to buy to what food to use. Then, as all puppies will be together with their owners, they can socialise, play and enjoy plenty of cuddles.”

Lucy Ross, head of training at Pets Corner said: “Socialisation is a key process a puppy must undergo to ensure it is happy and confident in its environment. We recommend that owners encourage puppies to be involved in pleasant social interactions including those with other animals. Careful exposure to different situations will also help, for example with traffic, crowds, travelling and household appliances.”

Any visitors attending with their puppies are entitled to 10% off all products purchased in-store during Puppy Hour. (Puppies must be less than 12 months old).
