Wagging Tails Dog Walking and Pet Sitting

21/10/2021

Due to increasing joint pains in my hands from holding leads for hours every day, and also due to not being able to spend enough time with my own dogs, I have decided to gradually phase out my dog walking services. Nothing will change for my current clients at all, but I will not be taking on any new dogs for walks either on a temporary or regular basis.

Just a reminder regarding our dogs in this hot weather:
* Never leave your dog in the car. Even windows open slightly won't make a difference. Temperatures in the car rise very quickly!
* And the same applies to conservatories or sunny rooms too that can heat up very quickly.
* Take your dog out early or late in the day. And take a bottle of water and bowl with you to give your dog a drink every so often. Or don't walk your dog at all when it is really hot, this applies especially even more to vulnerable dogs like very young, old, overweight or unwell. It is not like we have weeks of hot weather here, most dogs don't mind missing a walk or two.
* Don't throw balls/toys for your dog in hot weather. Many dogs won't know when to stop and will keep going till they drop from heat exhaustion.
* Always make sure your dog has shade and/or cover available in the garden as well as water. And don't rely on your dog to know when to move out of the sun either.
* And really important too: Always carry water and a bowl in the car! I always have that in my car, whether it is warm or not, but usually have two large bottles in the summer. If you break down or end up in a long traffic jam, your dog will need water especially in this weather. Oh, and do the same for yourself too for the same reason.
* Read up on first aid for heat stroke so you are ready if it does happen despite all precautions.

For the first time in over a year I have a slot available for a walk. So if you are looking for a reliable and experienced dog walker for your dogs, that will take individual care of your dog(s) by walking them for up to an hour or by popping in to give them a toilet break and company, please contact me.

This week is going to be hot. I am going to walk in the shade as much as possible, but walks will be shortened where necessary. I also always carry water with me for the dogs, so they get drinking breaks on the way.

My work normally evolves around canines, but occasionally I get to look after these feathery clients. I love birds and enjoy watching them. :-)

I am up to capacity with walks, so am not able to take on any new clients at the moment. But if you need any ad hoc walks, do check with me in case I have any one off cancellations.

And then the snow came. :-)
