Wild About Walkies

30/07/2025

Good morning everyone! We have had several of these little guys brought in over the last few days. Some have gone into care but sadly not all have survived 😢. Please remember that Herring Gulls are a protected species, but also that every life is precious! Drive carefully out there! 😊🚗🚕🚙

Hello!

I wasn't going to take on any new clients but I have a few very quiet walks now, so for the right dogs I have some spaces available:

Tuesdays 1130 and 1330
Wednesdays 0930
Fridays 1230

This will be a group walk so get in touch if you'd like a spot for your dog to be walked.

🐾 Welcome to Paws At Rest – Gentle Goodbyes at Home 🕊️

Hi and thank you for being here 💛
I’m Dr Kate — a local vet and founder of Paws At Rest, a small, family-run service based near Callington - recently relocated from Australia.

We offer peaceful, in-home euthanasia for dogs and cats, so your beloved pet can pass away in the comfort, calm, and familiarity of home — surrounded by the people who love them most.

This service was created from the heart, after witnessing how stressful clinic visits can be during such an emotional time. I wanted to give families a kinder option — one that honours the deep bond we share with our pets.

Proudly serving Callington, Saltash, Gunnislake, Tavistock, Liskeard, Launceston, Plymouth, Holsworthy, St Austell, Bodmin, Plympton, Ivybridge, and surrounding villages.

If you or someone you know is facing this heartbreaking decision, please know you’re not alone. We’re here with compassion, time, and support — every step of the way.

Thank you for supporting a small, local service doing our best to help pets and their people in the kindest way possible 🐶🐱💛

With warmth,

Happy bank holiday!

Enjoying our woodland walk.

Just a little cute photo of three of my dogs 😍

Some of you may know that I've been working a lot more in my art work recently. I'm hoping this will eventually be another income for me.

It is extremely hard being self employed sometimes and each months income can be extremely changeable.
This month because of a bank Holiday and two weeks of half term I'm literally over £500 less than last month!
It is too unreliable for me.

This has forced me to think differently and I'm no longer taking anymore clients on for dog walking.
Days that become quieter will be devoted to my artwork in hope that next year I will be able to start vending my work on weekends.
I'm also older now and my legs get tired🤣 so no harm in less walking.

Don't you worry though I'm still your dog walker! There just maybe some changes to walk times in the future.

🚨This is Dexter🚨

If you see him please contact his owner, Diana Rossell. The Pointer X Whippet X Greyhound was last seen at 5pm on March 26, in Cann Woods.

His owners searched for him for hours, but were unable to find him. They are desperate to get him home.

Diana is asking for as many people to share his picture and help him be reunited with his family 💔

🐾 Meet Our Third Expert Speaker: Sara Landricombe from About Town Pet Care! 🐶

Does your dog struggle when left home alone?

Separation anxiety is one of the most common behaviour challenges dog owners face—but help is at hand!

With over 20 years of experience in the animal care industry, Sara Landricombe has dedicated her career to understanding canine behaviour and training using force-free, science-backed methods. From working in veterinary clinics, zoos, and rescue centers (including Gables Farm), to running her own dog training and pet care business, she has seen firsthand how separation issues can impact both dogs and their owners.

Sara is passionate about helping pet parents build confidence and trust with their dogs, using kind, effective training methods that make life easier for both ends of the lead.

At The Dog Owners Summit, she’ll be sharing her expertise in:

"Separation Anxiety Survival Guide – Why Dogs Struggle & How You Can Help Your Dog Stay Home Alone"

🐾 Why separation distress is on the rise – and how to recognize the signs.

🐕 The different types of separation anxiety – because not all cases are the same.

🐶 A 4-step plan to help any dog feel safer when left alone – young or old.

This talk will also be great for those of you who have multi dog households with dogs that struggle to be away from another.

With up to 76% of behaviour cases now involving separation-related distress, this talk is a must for anyone who wants to prevent or overcome home-alone struggles.

If you live with dogs, work with them or are keen to learn more about dogs then this talk you do not want to miss out on.

The rivers have been looking a little dangerous 😅 as much as they want to go in, it is best not to! Although there at a few calmer spots they can have a splash
