There is a double celebration at Hypo Hounds this week, and it calls for party hats all round.

Our wonderful pups Chip and Dale are two years old today.

It only feels like yesterday that these two were bouncing around as tiny puppies. Now look at them, all grown up, with the party banners out and a duck toy at the ready.

Every one of our dogs is special, and birthdays like this are a lovely reminder of the journey each one goes on. From those very first days to becoming part of the Hypo Hounds family, dogs like Chip and Dale go on to change a child's life completely.

So today is just for them. A day of fuss, treats and a well-earned bit of play.

Happy birthday, Chip and Dale. We hope your special day is full of tail wags and tasty rewards.
