Congratulations: Lucy Jenkins you won the ‘star client’ prize draw for 2011, which this year was a Fortnum & Mason gift box worth £100. Each year James Arkley Equine Dental Services enters every client who recommends us to a friend and it results in a booking or any client who writes a review for our facebook page or website into a prize draw. This year there were over 50 entrants alone! A big thanks to all of you for your continued support. Keep spreading the word and you never know you could be enjoying a prize this Xmas! To help make it easier we have printed up ‘recommend a friend’ cards that you may use to register your details when your friends book in their horses. Ask for one off of James when you see him next,or contact the office by email or phone

Keep us updated with any change of details: As existing clients know, part of the service we offer is a reminder either by email or by post approximately one month before their horses’s dental check is due. Please ensure you keep us updated if you move house or change your email address so that we are not advising the  ether out there that your horses check is due but instead you who matters!  For those on email please also ensure you add bookings@jamesarkley.co.uk into your address book to reduce the risk of your reminder being filtering into your spam folder!

 

Busy Times: our busiest months are tending to be April to September when booking lead times are increasing to as far as 8-10 weeks in advance and James’s days commencing at 08:00 hrs right through to 21:00 hrs 6 days a week. Please note in a bid to improve this situation we have  commenced a postcode on certain days regime. It may mean a little flexibility from clients with regards to accommodating day time appointments as opposed to late evening or weekend slots however we have already seen the benefits of this which includes James seeing more clients and spending less time travelling around the large footprint he covers. There are exceptions when we step outside of this, which include large yard bookings or farther a field customers who are cluster together. All we ask is for clients to be mindful of the hours James works to accommodate clients constraints and the distances James covers and to not ignore any dental check reminders which could lead to at a later date your appointment needing to be an emergency.
