Dog walking!!
Hello! Tabitha from Hound Hikes (www.houndhiking.com) here. We arrived in the Bay from Wellington in Feb and are setting up a Hawkes Bay dog walking Hound Hikes branch up here. If you'd like your hound to join in on one of our adventure hikes, please get in touch! We are currently running hikes Monday-Friday. We come and pick up and drop off your hound, take them on a 1-1.5 hour adventure hike off leash and also give them a rinse and towel dry if needed afterwards :) We post photos and videos after the hikes to Facebook @houndhiking and Instagram #houndhikesnz.
For 1-2 hikes a week its $30 per hike and for 3-5 hikes a week its $25 per hike. Another hound from the same family is $15 extra per hike.
Check out some of our pics of the hounds in action on hikes :)
Thanks,
Tabitha

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
Find out more about the scheme online.
