DOG WALKING SERVICES
Owning a Dog Brings So Much Joy To Our Lives
We in turn love to see our companions having everything they desire and need, for a healthy and long life. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find the time in our busy schedules to provide the optimum stimulation and exercise our dogs need daily.
Why Is It So Important That
Our Dogs Have Regular Walks?
Walking not only provides exercise, but also mental stimulation.
This is the foundation for any dog’s physical and mental wellbeing. Dogs are curious about the world outside their door and the scents they pick up whilst walking, tell them everything they need to know about the neighborhood. A bit like us reading the local news and talking to friends. Also, dogs that are cooped up all day without any stimulation, soon start to get bored. Boredom then leads on to destructive and bad behavior, which isn’t fun for anyone
Walking is good physical exercise for any aged dog.
Dogs that are allowed to become lazy, very quickly become overweight, and with this brings a multitude of health issues.
Even an active dog in the home can benefit from another outlet to expel spent up energy. The benefits of a well exercised and stimulated dog include:
A dog that is happy
A dog that is well behaved
A dog that avoids unhealthy weight gain.
Walking gives your dog opportunities for socialising
Walking a dog locally is a great way to let them meet other dogs, people, and most importantly to learn their social skills.
Dogs will learn from one another the complicated social cues and body language that they need to know, to make friends nicely and without fear.
It’s also a good chance to teach social etiquette with humans too.
This in turn also helps to build confidence for the dog in all sorts of different situations, whilst out and about.
How Can You Ensure Your Dog Gets The Exercise And Stimulation They Need?
- Maybe find a neighbour or family member to pop in
- Although this can put a strain on relationships and isn’t ideal for long-term arrangements.
- Pay the teenager down the road some pocket money to call in?
However, this may not be a reliable solution, and what happens when something goes wrong? - Find a person on social media, offering to walk dogs?
But are they trustworthy, reliable, professional, and insured?
What’s The Best Solution To The Problem?
A professional dog walking business.
When a professional dog walker is caring for your dog, they are legally responsible for them, and it is important that any professional dog walker understands the responsibility that this entails.
Did you know, nearly 60% of dog owners who use a dog walker do not have a formal contract or legal agreement!
This raises questions as to how professional a dog walker really is?
If they can’t be bothered with their legal responsibilities, how much care and attention are they going to give you and your dog?
Key Points To Look For In a Professional Dog Walking Business
- Training and experience
Is the person walking the dog trained and experienced?
What training, experience or qualifications do they have? Are they trained in first aid and carry an animal first aid kit? - Insurance
Is the dog walker fully insured for public liability, third party, and emergency veterinary fees if your dog is injured? - Security
Is your dog walker DBS checked and vetted? - Will your dog walker keep your keys securely and are they insured for key holding?
- Transporting your Dog
Are the dog walkers’ vehicles insured for business use? - Are the vehicles insured to transport animals?
- Are the dog walkers’ vehicles Licensed by DEFRA to transport your dog safely?
- Contract or service agreements
Does the dog walker provide a pre-assessment of your dog’s needs? - Does the dog walker record all your pets’ information for emergencies?
- Does the dog walker provide a contract or service agreement and provide you with a copy of the terms and conditions?
- Recommendations & reviews
Can you find multiple reviews from varying sites for the dog walker? - Will the dog walker provide references and let you speak with other customers?
- Does the dog walker have any associations with other businesses or charities in the pet care industry, that can recommend them?
