Frequently Asked Questions
-
No! My vehicle is equipped with a crash tested metal mesh barrier which allows for security and guaranteed safety for your pet.
Alongside this my vehicle is lined with vet bedding for comfort and your pet is required to wear a seatbelt carabiner with a lock mechanism for extra security.
-
I keep several storage boxes in my car filled with all the necessities such as:
microfibres towels,
collapsable water bowls & portable water bottles
Biodegradable (BPA & plastic free) unscented dog wipes for muddy paws.
Waterproof 1m and 5m lead.
I also have a collapsable non-slip ramp for senior dog or dogs who suffer with joint issues to allow for comfort when entering and exiting.
I always make sure to have a clip belt with me which stores immediate necessities such as biodegradable poop bags in a holder, a treat bag and a flashlight for those darker days.
-
Unfortunately extendable leads are unpredictable and sometimes unsafe, especially for dogs who have a tendency to pull.
If I think that the lead for your dog is unsuitable this may require me to use one of my own.
-
Of course! It is not a problem if your dog needs to stay on the lead, I understand that not all dogs are recalled trained or sometimes may be nervous around other people/dogs so having them off lead can be unpredictable. I am happy to keep your dog on lead if requested and I also keep a waterproof 5m lead for clear open spaces to allow them to enjoy freedom but with safety restrictions.
-
Yes. I am more than happy to take on anxious or fearful dogs. I understand that some dogs are not fans of others and this is okay and something I can accomodate.
I always aim to walk dogs in quieter locations in general but especially for dogs who are fearful.
Aggressive dogs will need to be kept on lead unless in a secure environment where there is nobody else around, such as a private field (this can be arranged for an additional fee)
If your dog is fearful of people also, I will require a suitable muzzle to be fitted before they are in my care for safety. Please make sure that the muzzle is breed appropriate and allows for complete panting room and your dog is able to drink.
