here are many reasons for starting a new business, but perhaps the best one is that it embodies something you really care about. Jacqui Wingfield, who has just opened a new shop, Paws on Track, in the Orchards, Haywards Heath, is one of those people. Jacqui’s background is in dog training and she quickly realised that what dogs eat, has a significant impact on their health, wellbeing and behaviour. For example, many dogs are unable to tolerate grain foods. She also witnessed owners struggling to get the best out of their dogs with poorly fitting equipment and cheap toys that just weren’t up to the job. So, she decided to do something about it, and
with the same high-quality ethos. She is also planning to open a dog grooming parlour at the back of the shop from 2nd April. The groomer, Emma, is someone Jacqui has worked with for years and has lots of experience, both in handling and grooming dogs, of all different breeds, shapes, sizes and coat types. Paws on Track is a great addition to The Orchards, and it is difficult to visit without coming away with something for your furry friend or friends, so why not drop in and take a look.
