“I was so nervous leaving them, but the staff at paw prints were lovely and reassuring they sent me pictures of the two of them out playing and on walks. When I collected them they seemed happy and content. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Absolutely love PawPrints. I always send my dog and cat here where we can. The gentleman who picks them up/drops off is so lovely to us and our pets! He always remembers them both and is so kind.”
