Why you first choose Akuna Care?
Paw Paws at Neutral Bay recommended you. The collection and return of dogs was very helpful to us. We like to kennel them in a rural environment as some to the city kennels seem too crowded and noisy. We like the dogs to have a holiday when we have one.

Why you continued to use our service?
The pick-up and delivery of dogs is so convenient and helpful to a couple who run a small business.
Staff seemed polite, helpful, genuinely fond of our dogs and experienced.

What is your favourite Skelter and Blade story?
I don't know if this story is funny or tragic but it is true.
I walk Blade and Skelter in Rushcutters Bay Park. One evening (quite late on a Saturday when my partner was still working) I took both dogs down to the park and, as usual let them off lead. The Husky Blade took off, got through a new hole in the fence, jumped into the storm water drain. It was getting dark, he couldn't get out - very slippery and slimy (not to mention smelly), so in I got (I too had not changed from my good work clothes). After much anguish and heaving and hoing I managed to push Blade out. We both climbed out onto the bank exhausted, dirty and then Skelter jumped in. Same all over again except she was harder to get out.
My partner came looking for me as I was so long. There I was walking along a street in Kings Cross dripping with mud etc. No words were exchanged I just handed over leashes and headed for the bathroom - emerging about an hour later, scrubbed from head to toe.
Ted washed the dogs.
