I am going to let you into a little secret!
I am rubbish with names, and because I walk and sit so many dogs, I sometimes get their gender wrong as well as their name! 😅

Many a time, I am saying Good Girl to Harry and Good Boy to Harriet! 🤦‍♀️

So I apologise in advance to your dog! 🐕 🐩
Please drop a 🐾 if you forgive me. Thanks!

Someone asked me what I had in my dog walking bag today.
She saw it and said “What do you have in there? I might learn something”.
🐾
I told her yes; as a Professional Dog Walker I have quite a lot for every eventuality.
She noted she saw Water, and she noted she must bring some with her next time, and I proceeded to go through the list of things in my bag.
So the contents are from top left clockwise to bottom left:
👉 Water Cooling Bandana
👉 Open Ear Pods
👉 Panic Alarm & Torch
👉 Adder Pack
👉 P**p Bags
👉First Aid Kit with Tick Removal Tool
👉 Water Bottle with fresh water
👉 Keys with Torch & CPR Face Shield
👉 Spare Lead
👉 Fabric Water Bowl
👉 Water Cooling Towel
👉 Pet Bleed Kit
👉 Also (not in the photo) My mobile phone, taking the photo!

So why do I carry all this?
I work on a 'WHAT IF?' principle.

1. Some of them don’t need explanation, especially this week with this heatwave; so the Water Cooling Bandana/Water Bottle/Fabric Water Bowl/Water Cooling Towel are a given.
2. Open Ear Pods so that I can take client calls and communicate with still having full awareness of my surroundings.
3. As I am a lone worker, it’s always good to be prepared with a Panic Alarm with a Torch.
4. An Adder Pack: An Emergency Information Card, UK Snake Identification Card, An Adder Distribution Map, 2 x Bells with Clip, A 'What to do' Guide, A Sterile Saline Pod, An Instant Ice Pack and A Pot for Medication.
Living in Dorset, I am aware of the prevalence of Adders within the Dorset countryside and the majority of the South of England. I have a few clients who have told me they have had dogs or have witnessed dogs that have been bitten by Adders in the past!
5. P**p Bags, of course, a given!
6. First Aid Kit (including Tick Removal Tool and Leucillin Sanitiser) for any emergency First Aid treatment that might be required before taking to the Vet if required. I am Veterinary Practice First Aid and Emergency Management training certified.
7. Car Keys/House Keys with CPR Face Shield for Human CPR for Hygiene and also to get a better seal to administer CPR.
8. Spare Lead for any eventuality, if there is a dog on the loose that I come across out and about.
9. Pet Bleed Kit Featuring Woundclot: The Unique Haemostatic Pad for traumatic injury resulting in serious bleeding. I have a client who informed me she lost a dog some years ago from a serious bleed injury as she was out on a walk and cut her leg on broken glass. By the time the dog reached the vet practice, she had bled out, and this was a fatal case.
With this Bleed Kit, I also took part in a certified training course by the product manufacturer to be able to use the pack.
10. My mobile phone to communicate with clients and, if there is an emergency need to contact relevant people and authorities.
🐾
These are all in place as contingency, so I provision for any possibility.

This weekend I celebrate my own cat Smeg, the cat who was found in a fridge going for recycling 16 years ago at the recycling facility where I was working.
I was going to give him up for adoption; however, my first Boxer, Bruce, had other ideas! They were best buddies. Happy Gotcha Day, Smeg! 🐱🐾🥳🎊🎉😘🥰

Just a reminder of the risks of Heat Stroke and what the temperature risks are for dogs. 🐕🐩🌞🌡🥵
👉We are re-organising or sometimes cancelling our dog walks in the next few days.
👉If cancelled the cancelled walk will be rolled over as credit for another time of one's choosing. 👉Don't risk it‼️No dog died of a missed walk, but dogs die of a walk in the heat.
This is a great info graphic from Vets Now

I shouldn't say this but I have a favourite this week, Pork Pie the Tortoise! 🐢🥰
Pork Pie is female and she now even recognises me after I gave her a sweet treat of a tomato 🍎 or a strawberry 🍓😍
It's a privilege to see her not hide in her shell when I visit. The household also has two cats who keep themselves to themselves. 😆😻😻

Never thought this job would take me to the Isle of Wight! 🌅🛳🚢🌊🍦
Always have seen it from afar on the horizon from home but never visited it until today.
