MEET THE TEAM 🚶🏻‍♀🐕

Kate isn’t only co-director of WLP Canterbury, she is also Holly’s big sister! Kate loves working hand-in-hand with Holly, building the branch together to offer services they are both proud of.

Kate takes great pride overseeing the daycare, boarding and house-sitting services. She understands the importance of trust and promises our pet families a safe, nurturing home for their pawsome pets while they are away – as well as love, play, fun walks and the best cuddles of course! (it’s a tough job…!).

As Kate will tell you, if the staycations aren’t good enough for her cockerpoo, Archie, they aren’t good enough for any of our furry friends! Luckily, Archie is always on hand to give his approval to our fantastic team of host families! 🐶

Kate’s hard work and dedication make her an invaluable part of our team, and her passion and genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does.

Thank you, Kate. Happy pets and relaxed humans are definitely the way forward!

A reminder for the heat wave ☀️🌡️

How hot is too hot to trot? ☝🏼

We are so proud of this boy! 🤩
Rupert was pretty anxious about having a new person to walk him while his pawrents were away, but he's adjusted really well and made a new friend in walker Liz - keep an eye out for our video to get the full story!

And the winner is... 🥁

June's pet of the month winner is Sally, who has walks with the our Bridgend branch ran by the lovely Emma! 🐶

Sally has been having walks with Bridgend since April 2023. Her owner had another walker previous who left them in the Lurch. But luckily, Bridgend was on hand to take over!

Laura, one of Emma's walkers and pet sitters has said - ’I'd love to vote for Sally, she used to be so shy on walks but now she strides ahead and enjoys meeting the other dogs.🐕

Emma has also added - 'Sally never used to go to the toilet on walks, now she is. She would have to be picked up to go into the car, now she jumps in herself. Many things she's grown more confidence with because we've been calm with her, taken our time introducing dogs suitable to her and working with her owner to make sure she gets the best care.'

Congratulations Sally! Well deserved win. 🤩🐾

MEET THE TEAM 🚶‍♀️🐕

Brynn joined the We Love Pets team when we first started up and, despite a couple of sojourns to university, has been a constant and VERY welcome presence ever since.
He's been an ardent dog-lover his whole life and grew up with both dogs and cats. He got into professional dog walking when his two elderly golden retrievers could no longer manage long walks, and he realised he had lots of energy to burn!

Although Brynn is loving his university course, he still takes every opportunity to work with We Love Pets when he's back in Kent because, in his words, it's the best job in the world!

Do you know how to spot the signs of stress in your dog? 🤔

If you’re around dogs, it’s important to know what signs they may display when they’re stressed. Not only is this beneficial to your dog’s wellbeing but it can also prevent accidents and injuries, increase safety, prevent behavioural problems and increase your bond.

Here’s 6 common signs of stress in dogs:
🐾 Excessive Yawning
🐾 Barking or Growling
🐾 Licking Lips
🐾 A Downwards Tail
🐾 Ears Pinned Back
🐾 Panting

Are there any that you weren’t aware of?

MEET THE TEAM: 🚶‍♀️🐕

Adam has been working for We Love Pets for a year, but he's been walking dogs for much, much longer. His experience as a dog walker makes him an excellent team member, but it's his passionate and caring nature that makes him a favourite with our canine clients.

Adam sadly lost his own dog shortly before he joined us, but finds that looking after our wonderful animals helps to fill the hole in his heart.

MEET THE TEAM 🚶‍♀️🐕

Our newest team member Jess is a natural with animals, and her calm, gentle nature makes her the perfect walker for both calming down boisterous dogs and giving confidence to anxious ones.

Jess has always been surrounded by animals, having grown up with dogs and rabbits, and has completed a college course in Animal Management.

Rehabilitation can be an important part of our work:

Staff favourite Neville was recently very poorly , so it's been short walks and lots of enriching play. Neville and his owners are such an important part of the We Love Pets family, so it's wonderful to see him getting back to his old, fun loving self... even if he hasn't quite got the hang of the game! 🐾

Our pet of the month winner for May is... 🥁

The lovely Basil who has walks with Elkie, owner of the Portsmouth branch.

They have been looking after Basil since he was four month old. He enjoys his walks with the branch and loves nothing more than a ball and swimming! 🏊‍♀️

He has been doing a lot of training and has recently qualified as an autism therapy dog! He goes to work a couple of days a week with his mum and they have the pleasure of looking after him the rest of the week.

'We are so proud of him and he is doing an amazing job! 🤩' - Elkie

WHAT IS SOCIAL WALKING? 🚶‍🐾🐕

Many dogs are happy being the only dog in a household (and some prefer it!), but dogs are very social animals and you've probably found that your pup loves to play with their friends on their daily walks. At We Love Pets, we talk to our clients about their dog's play habits and try to set them up with other dogs on 'play dates' so they get some great socialisation along with their exercise.

This week we introduced Babs and Lola for a play date and look how much fun they're having!

ARE SOCIAL WALKS THE SAME AS PACK WALKING?

No they are not. Pack walking is where one walker takes 5 or more dogs at a time, and this is prohibited in many public spaces - our social walks are carefully planned to bring like minded animals together and form new doggy friendships!

21/05/2024

WE'RE NOT JUST DOG WALKERS! 🐕

At We Love Pets, we can do 'pop-in' visits from 20 minutes to 2 hours to look after your cats/ chinchillas/guineas/ bearded dragons/ insert anyone we missed here!
🐾🐭🦎🐍🐈
Pop-ins are also great for:
•young puppies or senior dogs who don't require walks
•disabled or rehabilitating dogs who need some extra care
•dogs who already get enough walks during the day but might need a little extra company at times

Our staff have experience with all kinds of furry, scaly, and feathered pets and are all fully trained, insured, and DBS checked.

If you would like to know more about our pop-in service, please go to the website (see comments) and fill out our contact form to book a consultation.

MEET THE TEAM 🚶‍♀️🐕

Louise is a very special part of the We Love Pets team, having been with us from the beginning! She grew up surrounded by animals, and they seem to love her as much as she loves them.

Louise is at her happiest exploring the local woodlands with a dog or two in tow and knows all the best walks. For her, this is the perfect job, and for us, she is the perfect employee!

Did you know? 💡
Just like humans, dogs can suffer with hay fever too. 🌱🌾
Seasonal allergies in dogs usually present as skin related symptoms but they can get sneezes and watery eyes just like us!

If you notice any of the signs above and suspect your dog may be suffering with hay fever, it’s important to consult with your vet for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Does your dog suffer with hay fever? 🤧
