Keep your dogs cool safely in this weather 🩵

⚠️ HOT WEATHER DOG WARNING ⚠️ Cold water shock can happen to dogs too 🐶🌊

When dogs suddenly leap into cold lakes, rivers or the sea, especially in this hot weather, the shock can trigger:
• gasping
• panic
• muscle cramping
• breathing difficulties
• hypothermia

This is often caused by dogs charging full-speed into water after balls or sticks.

Help keep them safe:
🐾 Let them enter slowly
🐾 Allow time to acclimatise
🐾 Use a lead near water if needed
🐾 Avoid repetitive ball throwing into cold water
🐾 Watch for currents & deep water

If it happens:
➡️ Stay calm
➡️ Call them gently back to shore
➡️ Warm and dry them gradually
➡️ Contact a vet urgently if they collapse, struggle breathing, seem weak or confused

And please remember — don’t put yourself at risk entering the water. Many owners get into difficulty trying to rescue pets.

Slow entry. Cool heads. Safe dogs. ❤️

Love this 😂
The reality of a dog walker AKA glorified p**p picker uper and referee

I love my job but people who think we JUST "take a dog for a walk" are so wrong 😆

Hi to all you lovely people!

I've been quiet on here the last couple of months as had a lot going on and didn't have the headspace for social media.
I'm back now and ready to take on more work and help you all out with your pets 💜

Also going to post some reels and pics of what we've been up to lately 🐾🐾

I've added my services again here so anyone new to my page can see what I provide 🐶😺
Whatever you need, whether it's regular, ad hoc, one off or just extra help while you're busy with the school holidays, I can help you out 😊

Would also just like to say thank you to all my loyal, regular clients ❤️
And to all my new followers, hopefully I get to meet some of you and your lovely pets (if I haven't already!)
Say hi down below so I know who you all are👋 and even if you've been here a while say hi too

Little Fudge was desperate to get into The Bus Yard last week on his walk 🐶🤣
Who thinks I should take him for a visit this week? 🥰
