Christmas Kongs for Leicestershire's dogs in need

In anticipation of Christmas and that potential stay in kennels over the festive period we are asking for your help. 

In the words of the experts- Stress and Boredom play a huge part in negative behaviour where dogs are concerned. Keeping your dog mentally stimulated is such an important part of owning one. One of the ways that this can be achieved is by offering a variety of stimulating toys to keep their day exciting and interesting. 

The kennel dogs’ day needs to be made more involved than those lucky dogs who have a loving home to call their own as they will have far less interaction and enjoyment and have much higher levels of stress than an average dog in a home.  

Black Kongs have become an essential toy for us, they are durable, easy to maintain and are an extremely exciting treat for our dogs at Woodside Animal centre. They provide that break up to the day at any time, and are always welcomed by our canine residents. 

Can you help us to help them by donating a black kong to Woodside and break that monotony of kennel life? 

Please bring your kong donation to Woodside Animal Centre 190 Scudamore Rd Leicester LE3 1UQ or you can buy one from our onsite shop (all proceeds go back to the centre). 

Thank you!
