Torquay based dog groomers - Barking Bay Beauties are the best in the bay! Local, independent and reliable, we will always recommend them as we have personally used them for years.

Wanderlust Walkies comprises of a secure 2.5 acre field overlooking the picturesque Hems Valley in Littlehempston, Devon and a secure 2.5 acre training field with views out to surrounding villages and Haytor on Dartmoor. Here your dog can walk, play and train in the safety of the fields which can be booked online for your exclusive use.

If your dog is; Reactive, Has a high prey drive, Bad recall, A rescue or On heat.

The field is enclosed and secure. The fences are 5 foot, high tensile wire that even the smallest dog cannot squeeze through and is checked daily. ( However, if your dog can jump over that height and is a determined escape artist then this may not be the right field for you). The field is set on the side of a hill and will provide you, and your dogs, with a great work out whilst enjoying stunning views. There are benches for you to sit and admire the valley below and Dartmoor in the distance. Whilst the field is mostly open there are wooded areas and overgrown areas for your dogs to rummage around in and there are often foxes and deer passing through so there are lots of lovely things to sniff.

The Pet Carpenter has been crafting bespoke wooden pet furniture in their Devon workshop since 2020, with a pair of pet-loving siblings at the helm.

Priding themselves on attention to detail and innovative, functional design, they take pleasure in collaborating with their customers to create the perfect space for your pets.

“Dogs enjoy eating natural, raw food. Chewing on a bone or our chunky minces is what their teeth were designed for and it gives their jaws a great work out. Raw food gives dogs immense pleasure when eating and contributes to improved oral hygiene, digestion and better coats and skin.

From our facility in the heart of Devon, we send over 20 tonnes of raw food every week to dogs all over the country. All meat is hand picked from around Devon, Cornwall and The South West before being packaged by hand, frozen and delivered within 24/48 hours Tuesday – Friday.”
