🚨 Be extra vigilant

Ziggy Bear and I have been on the telly barking loudly about that nasty Pet Network microchip scam! 🐾 Those humans had loads of our personal information, so there’s definitely been a data breach somewhere. Grrr! The clever folks at BBC Morning Live sniffed out the article we wrote, and that’s how we ended up on the big screen! 🐶📺 We’re tail-wagging happy they dug into it properly, but we still don’t know who left the gate open and let our data out. The pawsitive news? Lots of other pups and their humans probably saw it and now know to watch out for this scam. Be vigilant pals. 🐾🦴Woofs Miss Zsa Zsa 💖

Throwback to this day in 2023—my very first customer dog walk with lovely Bella. It was a hot day, so we set off early and took things nice and slow. Bella was in her golden years, taking life at her own pace, and I was honoured to walk alongside her on one of her final journeys. She reminded me that every moment matters. 🐾💚

Ever wondered, “Does my dog really love other dogs?”
The truth is, every dog is unique! Some thrive on canine company, while others prefer their own space—and that’s completely normal.
Swipe through to learn how to spot your dog’s social style, what friendly dog body language looks like, and how to support positive interactions (or respect their need for alone time).
Remember: It’s all about understanding your dog’s needs and creating safe, happy experiences for everyone.
