For the fourth year in a row, Canine Cottages is proud to be sponsoring Battersea’s pet advice email series, The Battersea Way, helping the nation to keep their pets healthy and happy.
The partnership between two organisations that simply love dogs was a great success throughout 2021, 2022 and 2023. Our team at Canine Cottages sponsored Battersea's fortnightly emails, packed with a whole host of handy information from Battersea's experts such as behaviour and training tips, or DIY recipes so that you can spoil your pampered pooch silly.
Battersea also provided top tips for our Canine Care series, where we share key information to ensure you have a happy hound.
We're proud to be continuing this partnership into 2024, so Battersea can reach even more dog lovers with their expert advice.

Proudly supporting Battersea
For over 160 years, Battersea has been caring for vulnerable animals in need. It believes that all dogs and cats should have an opportunity to live where they are treated with compassion, care and respect. To support this vision, Battersea works tirelessly to use their voice, knowledge, and resources to support these animals in the UK and around the world.
In the UK, Battersea has three centres where they never turn away a dog or cat in need of their help and, at Canine Cottages, we share this inclusive ethos. In our dog-friendly holiday cottages across the UK, all dogs, no matter what size, shape or sprightliness, are welcome to enjoy a well-deserved holiday with us.
24 hours at Battersea
Our team is dog-crazy too, and we love to celebrate all that’s unique about our canine companions! Our Canine Critics competition has been running since 2018, where we have recruited the UK's most talented hounds to be the paws on the ground and review our cottages. For the last two years, we've included categories such as The Rarity, The Hero, and the Rescue, ensuring every dog can have their day in the spotlight.
We've also launched our exclusive Canine Club to bring together like-minded dog lovers and provide a place to talk about our favourite topic – our pets!
Last year, we were lucky enough to spend the entire day with Battersea – read all about what we learnt here. If you're curious to know what it's like for our canine pals in Battersea's care, click the button below to read about their journey from rescue to adoption.
