🎆 FIREWORK NIGHT 🎆

With firework night approaching, here are a few ways we can help keep our dogs safe, calm and comfortable:

🐾 Keep them indoors – bring dogs inside before fireworks begin and make sure doors, windows and gates are secure.

🐾 Walk them early – try to get their walks done before it gets dark and the fireworks start.

🐾 Create a safe space – make a cosy den with their favourite blankets, toys and somewhere they feel secure.

🐾 Close curtains and windows – this helps reduce the noise and flashing lights.

🐾 Put the TV or music on – background noise can help mask some of the bangs.

🐾 Give plenty of reassurance – comfort them if they're frightened. ❤️

🐾 Never take them to a fireworks display – their hearing is much more sensitive than ours!

🐾 The reality of running a dog walking business in 2026… 🐾

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many fellow dog walkers struggling as I have this year, and it’s genuinely heartbreaking.

Over the last few months, I’ve watched several walkers make the difficult decision to close their businesses, while others have had to take on second jobs just to make ends meet.

And truthfully? I completely understand why.

This year has been incredibly tough for our industry. Fuel prices have soared, insurance premiums have increased, vehicle maintenance is more expensive than ever, and that’s before you even begin to factor in all the other costs associated with running a legitimate, fully insured dog walking business.

Unfortunately, while our expenses continue to rise, there’s only so much we can increase our prices before we risk pricing ourselves out of the market.

People often see us out walking dogs, enjoying the countryside and think we have the best job in the world. And we do! But behind those muddy boots and wagging tails is a business with bills to pay, endless expenses and an awful lot of hard work that goes unseen.

Loving what you do doesn’t automatically make it financially sustainable. 💔

To every fellow dog walker who has had to close their business, take on extra work or is simply doing everything they can to keep going, I’m sending you so much love.

It’s a tough industry to be in right now, and I genuinely hope things get easier for all of us.

Please support your local dog walkers. Behind every small business is someone working incredibly hard to keep their dream alive. 🐾
