While we were fostering dogs, we had the pleasure of having this lovely little dog stay with us, & the even greater pleasure of seeing him go to such a wonderful family.

These are the posters his Dad sent us, we thought them so great that we asked permisson to post them on the site, here they are :-

 

A note from the owner :

We have been going under the false security of the Micro Chip and thinking that we treat our dogs like we would young children, we never let them out of our sight and so they will not get lost.

How foolish, we could get distracted watching one dog and the other get out of our reach. A dog could get spooked by something and run off some where we can`t get. We could have an accident. Obviously the possibilities are endless.

So better late than never, I have ordered some Holcols.

Dogs on their holidays in 2011

This is Stanley, the youngest member of the Lewis Family.

 

He does look a smart Boy. All ready for his first camping holiday ! The rest of Stanley's family are further down the page.

These lovely Giants aren't even fully grown yet ! but they have started early on their holiday experience, staying in a dog friendly hotel in the Cotswolds.

You wouldn't lose these two very easily, but those hol col's certainly would help to spot them as it starts to get dark.

This great picture is of Dash who is sitting on Scafell Pike, careful Dash !

Dash's owner also sent us a wonderful note, which we have had permission to print here :-

Hello there!

Firstly I would like to say that the Holcol is such a fantastic idea! I came across your webpage whilst looking for a cheap tag for "DASH" to wear whilst on holiday. We go to the Lake District a lot and there is no reception for mobiles so in the event that Dash went walkies on his own nobody would know where we were staying or be able to contact us with his normal collar tag. The major factor that decided the holcol was for us was the fact that it is recognised by most dog wardens! What could be better, from a distance it screams instantly I'm a lost dog, on holiday and I don't know my way back home.

The collar withstood all the usual boisterous Border Collie behaviours, even when wet. In fact it held together so well that I've simply put it away for next time as we stay on the same campsite! It can't be missed and a few people commented on what a good idea it was after the initial "Awwwww what a colourful collar". It even helped us keep an eye on him whilst walking off lead up Scafell Pike!

A Fantastic Product and 5* Service, the collar arrived within 3 days and is very strong and sturdy, will defiantly be back to buy additional collars for new holiday destinations!

I will be recommending your company to all who will listen!

Yours Sincerely

Hannah O' Brien

 Hol col  -  Thank you very much for your kind words.

Dogs on their holidays in 2010

 

These lovely pictures have been sent by Sharon Farrow of her dogs George.....

  

You can see how the hol col is fine in the sea !

& this is Maisie.

These dogs are certainly having a wonderful holiday & have made quite a splash with other holidayers passing by & remarking on the collars they are wearing.

Mrs Farrow writes: Thank you for a wonderful product that works ! It gave every dog walker we saw, a little laugh with the "I'm on holiday" on the collar, until we said it is because they are chipped to our home address. Then the response was "what a good idea, where can I get them from ?"  The collars lasted 2 weeks of dogs being dogs, ie digging, swimming, rolling, you name it they did it in them, No snaps, tears & the address was as good as new, Many thanks for the extra peace of mind. 

Sharon Farrow, West Yorkshire.

Thank you Sharon, the photo's are so full of fun & I think you will agree, the hol col was certainly tested on this holiday !!!

This lovely dog is Peanut, on holiday in Douglas, sent in by Lorraine Sterritt. from Northern Ireland.

Thank you Lorraine.

Some happy customers enjoying a holiday in Wales.

 

These lovely pictures were sent in by Sharon Lewis from Derbyshire.   She write :-

"The collars were great and stood up to plenty of sea water.  

We were also approached by other dog owners wondering

why the dogs had these collars and they all thought

they were a brilliant idea". 

They hope to take another holiday soon with their lucky dogs,

So we hope to have some photo's to follow ! Thank you.

 Here are some Happy customers enjoying the sun on holiday, proundly wearing their hol col's 

How Cute are they ?!

Mrs B. from Poole (their mum) writes:  " I thought you might like to see a photo of my little dogs wearing their hol col's on a recent holiday.  For the first time, I felt completely at ease when they were off lead knowing that should the unthinkable happen and one of them got lost, the finder would not only know it was on holiday but, more importantly, know exactly how and where to contact me". 

 

 

 

Keep your photo's coming !
