The world’s first bunny spa is coming to London.
If you thought a spa day couldn’t get any more relaxing than it already is, you’d be wrong. The world’s first ever bunny spa is coming to London this weekend, where you can receive free beauty treatments while rabbits hop freely around.
7th Heaven, a Cruelty Free International and Vegetarian Standard Approved beauty brand will be opening the ‘7th Heaven Bunny Spa’ in Covent Garden this weeked, offering customers free facials and massages while rabbits roam around a specially made hay bale enclosure.
Visitors will also be educated on rabbit welfare, rehoming bunnies, and how to go about purchasing cruelty-free beauty products.
Unlike the recent owl cocktail bar, which was shut down due to health and safety concerns for the animals involved, the RSPCA has been on hand to make sure the rabbits are taken care of properly.
Spokesperson Steven Van Hemmen said: “At 7th Heaven we love animals as much as we love humans and this is the perfect way to combine the two.
“Human guests will receive free treatments using our newest and most popular products including the Charcoal Masque; Avocado Oil Masque, Dead Sea Mud tube; Hot Chocolate Self-Heating Mud and White Chocolate Mud.
“And the RWAF [Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund] and RSPCA have given us great advice to ensure that our rabbits will be pampered just as much, with a huge hay bale run featuring platforms and hiding places, toys, plenty of food, barley straw and a relaxing, cool environment for them to enjoy. Qualified specialists will also be on hand to cater to their every whim.”
Customers will also have the opportunity to purchase healthy snacks and drinks, will all funds raised going to key London rescues and the RWAF.
The spa is operating on a first come, first served basis, so make sure you get down to 44 Shelton Street in Covent Garden between March 11 – 14 nice and early to take full advantage of the furry creatures and free treatment.
If you aren’t able to make it to Covent Garden this weekend, you can follow 7th Heaven on Periscope, where you’ll be able to tune in and watch a live stream.
Four Paws Dog Rudes on our Dog Walk today enjoying the sunshine by the River Stour, Wimborne.
We had a glorious walk and managed to get to the big fields as the paths have finally dried up.
Rudes was full of fun!
Meet Ben, Four Paws newest Dog who will be having occasional Home Visits! Ben is an adorable 11 year old Labrador and as you can see in this photo loves attention!
I will be visiting Ben on occasion to let him out and spent time with him at his home.
A new Dog never replaces an old Dog, it merely expands the Heart.
I think this saying is very poignant.
A West Highland Terrier has claimed the top prize at Crufts for the first time in 26 years at the annual dog show.
Devon was named Best In Show at the competition, an achievement described as “absolutely amazing” by her owner.
More than 22,000 dogs took part in the four-day event at the NEC in Birmingham as the competition celebrated its 125th year.
White Westie Devon beat off stiff competition from six other dogs in the final, screened live on Channel Four, to be crowned the overall winner on Sunday evening.

The champion dog’s owner Marie Burns said she knew Devon was special from an early age as she told presenter Clare Balding she had said to a friend when the puppy was just eight or nine weeks old: “I think I’ve got the nicest Westie I’ve ever bred here.”
On the victory itself, Ms Burns, from County Durham, added: “To win Best In Show at Crufts is absolutely amazing.”
Ant and Dec tweeted their congratulations to the winner, who is also known as Geordie Girl and is almost two years old.
The presenting duo from Newcastle wrote: “Told you!!! Yess, Geordie Girl wins Best in Show! Yay GeordieGirl! What a belter!”
Hazel the Whippet was the runner-up, alongside her owner Charlie Donaldson from Middlebie, Dumfriesshire.
The 19-year-old, the youngest handler in Best In Show, said: “Words can’t describe how much this means. I’m so proud.”
Kennel Club secretary Caroline Kisko said: “This has been a fantastic year and a wonderful final, and it’s clear to see why, for 125 years, Crufts has been one of the major British events.”
Margaret Green Animal Rescue. Studland Stomp (Dorset). Sorry for the short notice!
Come along with your dogs, or with friends and family, or even just come on your own. Our Studland Stomp provides a fantastic opportunity to meet new people (and new dogs) and it’s also a great chance to meet some of our lovely rescue dogs who’ll be joining the walk.
The stroll is approximately 5 miles along the beautiful Studland Beach. We will meet at the National Trust Knoll Beach car park at 12.45pm ready to leave at 1pm. We will then walk alongside the sea and back through the heathlands and dunes.
On our return to the car park, we will descend upon the café and treat ourselves to some well-deserved afternoon tea!
This is our fourth Studland Stomp and after the success of previous events, we are keen to continue these walks and get even more people involved. Walking is a great way to keep yourself and your pet happy and healthy.
Sponsorship forms are available to download or alternatively, please feel free to turn up and donate on the day.
If you suspect that your dog has been poisoned or consumed toxin, never watch and wait or try to treat yourself.
Get your dog seen by the Vet as soon as possible and take a sample of the suspected poison with you.
