5-Star Customer Review “We had a wonderful stay at The Mole Resort. Our room was large, leading onto the gardens and our dog Gertie thoroughly enjoyed her welcome!
The Mole Resort
It is extremely dog-friendly which meant we could enjoy the excellent food served in the Cellars Bar and the staff couldn’t have been nicer to us and Gertie. The views from the resort are stunning with walks from the resort and Instow Beach not being too far away. It was great for a dog run. All in all, perfect for a human-and-dog break and we shall be going back. Thank you PetsPyjamas for arranging this for us!”

Prepare your Pooch for Winter with YuMOVE Winter is coming, so help your dog keep active with this advice from our partner YuMOVE. In the world of responsible pet care, there’s a lot to pay attention to – from giving your dog the right food, to making sure they’re vaccinated, having a comfortable bed, and (obviously) enjoying stunning locations on your next pet-friendly holiday. Joint supplements may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to helping your furry friend lead their best life, but with many dogs experiencing joint stiffness and dealing with limited mobility at different stages of life, a bit of extra support can be well worth considering.
Why give your dog a joint supplement? Joint supplements may seem like something that are only for older dogs, but the truth is, it’s never too early to consider being proactive about your dog’s joint health. Ingredients found in high-quality joint supplements such as YuMOVE Joint Care – including Omega-3 fatty acids, Hyaluronic Acid, and Glucosamine – play a role in helping to lubricate and cushion joints and support cartilage. This can, in turn, help support their mobility and help to keep them active. Staying active is a big deal for dogs. Games of fetch and tugs of war are a major part of how pups de-stress, have fun, and bond with us – and regular walks are at the heart of maintaining their health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, our dogs can’t tell us when they’re dealing with joint stiffness – and this means there’s always a risk we could end up missing some of the more subtle signs.
Why YuMOVE? YuMOVE is the UK’s no.1 vet-recommended joint supplement brand,1 and based on over 15 years of scientific research, but it’s also been clinically proven to work in just 6 weeks.3 Pet owners seem to agree, as YuMOVE is rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot with over 55k reviews. With ingredients such as their unique and sustainably sourced ActivEase® Green Lipped Mussel, which contains up to 8x the amount of Omega-3 and is up to 30x more powerful than other ordinary Green Lipped Mussel powder,4 YuMOVE Joint Care is committed to providing the quality and attention to detail that your dog deserves.

Exclusive Interview:
Vogue Williams
We talk to TV presenter and Champion Award British Podcast winner, Vogue Williams about her new rescue puppy Bertie, her passion for animal welfare, and how he gets on with her family and her other dog, Winnie!
What are you working on right now?
What’s so special to you about Many Tears Animal Rescue Centre?
& her pup, Bertie
At the moment, I’m on tour with my best friend Joanne for our podcast “My Therapist Ghosted Me”, preparing for my “Spencer and Vogue” tour next year, as well as working on my brand Bare by Vogue. When did you get Bertie and what made you fall in love?
Many Tears are amazing. They do an incredible job helping so many dogs. I love following them (on Instagram) and seeing how they rehome dogs in the most amazing places. What life lessons have Bertie and Winnie taught you?
I had been looking on the Many Tears rescue site for six months, I just wanted every single dog that they posted. I’d lost out on a one-year-old French Bulldog but then they sent me a picture of Bertie. I thought he was a perfect puppy, and great for the kids to help them use up their energy! How does Bertie get on with Theodore, Gigi and Otto? He’s really good around the kids - he’s obsessed with them, they play on the trampoline together, get up to mischief, and Otto has learned to be more gentle with Bertie.
To be super selfless. I got Winnie before I had kids which taught me there’s a lot that goes into looking after a dog. I think that people aren’t always aware quite how time-consuming they are. But it’s also the most rewarding thing because they’re just such amazing animals, and nobody will ever be as excited as they are when you walk through the door! Instagram: @voguewilliams
How does he get on with Winston (Winnie), your other dog? They’re finally getting on! They play-fight a lot, Bertie runs after Winnie in the park, and now that they love each other it’s nice for Winnie to have some dog company - although they are never really alone with our busy household! What do you feel strongly about with regard to animal welfare? Be really, really sure you understand the commitment, training and work required before getting a dog, and know that it’s not going to be plain sailing. I think it’s sad when people forget that and then give them away. You need to be careful when deciding and always adopt because there are so many dogs out there that need wonderful homes. 24/7 Pawsquad Vet Line with every booking!
