Paw Pals - Sutton & NE Surrey

From an early age Ally had a huge passion for animals; from helping injured/stray animals to choosing to sit in her Grandad’s dog’s bed instead of a chair when she would visit! Pets were not allowed in our house when she was young, so Ally would often offer to walk/feed the neighbours’ dogs, cats, lizards, snakes and toads (you name it!) until her Dad let her have her first hamster!
 
Growing up Ally wanted to be a vet, dog handler, and animal trainer . . . basically anything to do with animals! She volunteered at Beddington Wildlife Centre, Greenland Riding stables and began researching more about the animal care industry. However, after applying to vets, kennels, wildlife centres and conservation charities during a tough economic climate, Ally found herself working in retail.


 
Ally has a particularly keen interest for dogs. Her passion led her to learning about dog behaviour and training. She has since helped many friends and acquaintances with basic dog training and minor issues they have had and plans to study for a Professional Dog Training Qualification in the near future.
 
Ally began as a key individual in the running of Paw Pals Sutton, when it was first opened and run by former owner Carol. Since then, she couldn’t imagine doing anything else and when the opportunity to buy the business came about, Ally jumped at the chance!
 
Ally is keen to build on her knowledge of pet care, she has completed a Pet First Aid Course and is currently studying towards her Pet Home Sitting & Dog Walking qualification, accredited by The Cambridge Institute of Dog Behaviour and Training.
 
Ally is police-checked, fully insured to look after your pets and home, and is a member of The Pet Industry Federation. She is also licensed for dog home boarding and is annually inspected by the local council.
