Cei Meadows Turns One! What a Day!

Wow, what a day! Fair to say we are completely pooped—but in the best possible way! 🙂 Yesterday we celebrated our very first anniversary, and it was an absolute joy from start to finish.

We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who made the day so special:

• Jane Grindley, Catherine Penney, and Helen Ralphs for all your help on the day
• Tracey Whiteswiss Shepherds and Linda from Hounds to Heel for sharing your training expertise
• Ken Lester for capturing beautiful memories with your photographs
• Pupcakes Dog Bakery for the lovely dog treats
• Wendy Williams and Dave Joinson for the delicious sausages and burgers (David Joinson Butchers Pentre!)
• Luan and Natalie Bell for the fresh bread rolls
• Sharon Hewitt for the scrumptious cakes and scones

We were also completely blown away by the cards and presents we received—totally unexpected but so very appreciated.

Most importantly, thank you to all our amazing customers. Over the past 12 months, your support has meant the world to us. We truly appreciate every one of you bringing your pups to Cei Meadows—it’s been a wonderful year because of you. 🙏❤️🐾🐕

Here’s to many more years of wagging tails, happy dogs, and community fun!

Autumn Opening Hours & Pool Update 🌙🐾

As the darker evenings draw in, we’ll be reducing our opening hours from Monday to: ⏰ 6am – 7pm every day. Unfortunately, it’s just not light enough to safely check the fields after 8pm now 😒.

At the same time, the portable pools will be going away until spring – we think there’s more than enough water falling from the sky at the moment! 🌧️🐕 However, the new static pool in Maisie's Meadow will be fully operational mid-next week, so we're looking forward to that.

Pool Completed in Maisie’s Meadow! 🐾💦

The concrete took a few days to ‘cure,’ so we held off adding the water, kindly asking everyone to keep their human feet off while it set. 😀 We expect it to be fully open by the middle of next week.

We can’t wait to fill it up and watch your pups splashing, running, and cooling off in their brand-new play spot. This is going to be such a fun addition for all our four-legged visitors all year round, but especially on warm days. We will let you know when it's ready for those paws to dive in! As you can see, Rupert is patiently waiting. 🐕💦

New Sighthound Social Event – Supporting Skylors Animal Rescue - Sunday 21st September, 10am

We’re excited to share that Cei Meadows is now hosting a Sighthound Social in aid of Skylors Animal Rescue!

This will be a relaxed and joyful gathering for sighthounds and their humans to come together, enjoy the meadows, and raise funds for an incredible cause. Skylors Animal Rescue works tirelessly to give vulnerable dogs the safe, loving futures they deserve, and we’re proud to support their mission.

✨ All proceeds from this event will go directly to Skylors. So, if you have a friendly sighthound, why not join us for a Sunday morning full of wagging tails, sniffs, and new friendships? Visit our booking page to secure your slot. Spaces are limited so don't leave it too late. Big loves, Jane and Carl 🐕🐾❤️

Cocker/Cavapoo Socials

What an evening! We had so much fuzzy fun in Maisie’s Meadow for the Cooker/Cavapoo Socials, and it was wonderful to see so many wagging tails and happy faces. ❤️The pups zoomed, played, and made new friends, while their humans enjoyed the chance to chat and laugh together. A big thank you to everyone who came along! Next up, our puppy social, this Sunday 7th September. 🐾

Exciting News for Maisie’s Meadow! 🌊🐾

We’re always looking for ways to make Cei Meadows even more fun for our furry friends and we’ve got some exciting news to share! 😀

We’ve decided to up the fun and entertainment by installing a pond/pool in Maisie’s Meadow. Work will begin on 8th September, and while the meadow will be closed for just 3 days during installation, both Ruperts Runaround and Ruby's Retreat will remain open as usual.

We can’t wait to see the dogs enjoying this new addition once it’s ready. ❤️🐕🐾

A Little Autumn Reminder: Acorns & Our Dogs 🍂🐾

As the seasons shift, you might notice our beautiful oak trees lining the fields are heavy with acorns right now. Naturally, these will start dropping to the ground over the coming weeks.

While they’re a classic sign of autumn, it’s important to remember that acorns can be toxic to dogs if eaten. They can also cause impaction in the gut, which is uncomfortable (and potentially dangerous) for our four-legged friends.

The good news is that most dogs don’t find acorns very tasty and will usually leave them well alone. Still, it’s always worth keeping a close eye, just in case a curious pup decides to give one a try.

Of course, acorns are a completely natural part of the environment, and they’re not unique to our fields—but we wanted to share a gentle reminder to help keep all visiting dogs safe and happy while they play.

Enjoy those crisp autumn walks, and thank you for helping us look out for each other’s furry friends 🙂🐕🐾

August has been buzzing so far!

This month we’ve hosted social meets, puppy socials, and even our very first breed-specific gathering for spaniels – full of wagging tails and endless energy! 🐶✨

We’re also looking ahead: our 1st anniversary is on 14th September (where has the time gone?!) and yes… even Halloween plans are already creeping in. 🎃

Since opening, one of the most rewarding things has been seeing both people and pups enjoying the dog park we’ve worked so hard to create – honestly, pinch us! 🐾💛 We’re not about to sit still though; we’re always evolving and planning what’s next.

👉 Keep an eye on this space for exciting updates – the best is yet to come! ❤️🐕🥰
