Morley Dog Walking and Cat Sitting Services offer an individually tailored service around you and your pet. We do not believe in group walks!
Your pet deserves the best - an individually tailored service around their needs.
Just a quick hello to everybody. Hope you are all keeping safe , and your doggies/ kitties are all behaving themselves. We really miss seeing them and cannot wait for this awful situation to be over so we can all get back to our daily lives as we know them. It looks like it is going to be some time before that happens, but we will be back to carry on where we left off, caring for your lovely animals.
Take care and keep safe everyone xx
After 10 years of walking your dogs and looking after your cats while you are on holiday, I am having to reluctantly stop for the foreseeable. This has been forced upon me by having to self isolate. I would just like to thank all my lovely clients for trusting me with your fur babies over the last years, and to let you know that when all this is over and we are through the other side, I will be back to carry on where I left off.
Keep safe everybody and hope to see you all soon
Give all your fur babies a cuddle from me

Self Isolating With Your Dog
Now the UK government has announced that anyone with a 'new, continuous cough or a fever' should self isolate for 7 days, there are going to be a lot of us stuck at home, possibly with our dogs, and that could be a problem if they are very active!
So, here are my tips on how to manage!
Could they move out? If you have friends or family members who could look after your dog and give them their normal walks and exercise, that is probably the best option.
But, if that isn't possible, you are going to have to keep them entertained and tire them out at home!
Here are a few things to try;
Ditch the food bowl!
Make mealtimes a mental and physical workout! Try scattering their biscuits on the garden if you have one or inside if possible. If you have puzzle toys, get them out, and if you don't, make some! All those toilet rolls you are hoarding?! Keep them inners and hide the kibble inside them. Same goes for cardboard food packaging and other boxes! The Facebook group Beyond The Bowl - Canine Enrichment is an amazing resource for cheap, homemade ideas!
Hide their toys!
Not all of them obviously! But dogs are like children, if their toys are lying around, they won't play with them! Put all but a few away and swap them daily so there is always something new to investigate!
Back to school!
There is no truth to the saying 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks!'. Help exercise your dogs mind (and keep you entertained as well!) by learning some new things Youtube is a great place to watch step by step guides.
Get in the garden!
Running about in a garden is really no substitute for a proper walk but needs must! Ball throwing is fun but don't overdo it, especially in older dogs. The short, sharp stopping and turning can be quite a strain on joints, so limit it to just a couple of brief sessions a day. But there are other games! Crufts has just been on the TV, check out their channels for the agility and see what obstacles you can create!
Anticipate problems!
If your dog is the type to bark at passers-by or get over-excited by the doorbell, this behaviour may well get worse if they are not exercising. Limit their access to triggers like people walking past the window by closing curtains or keeping them out of the front room and put a sign on the front door asking people to call you rather than knock.
Seven days in lockdown is a long time with a dog and it will be hard but, if you put some effort in, you might find it a really rewarding experience!
A good idea!

Today is World Spay Day 2020! Help us spread the word...share this post.
Nine of the UK’s animal welfare charities including Cats Protection have joined forces to promote World Spay Day to encourage cat owners to have their cats spayed.
Recent research has shown that 70% of litters in the UK are unplanned.
Our advice is simple - have your cat spayed at four months to protect her from getting pregnant.
Male cats should be neutered too, to protect them catching diseases and getting nasty injuries from fighting - a male cat which hasn’t been neutered is much more likely to fight over a female mate. Neutering can also help to stop male cats from spraying indoors - which can be really smelly. He’s also more likely to stay close to home as a neutered male cat is less likely to stray.
Neutering also helps reduce the chances of various types of feline cancers.
To get help with the cost of neutering your cats give our neutering team a call on 03000121212.

We all know this one :-) Thanks for posting it CPG.
Happy Valentines Day from the dog 🐶💛
What! There is something that is not edible!
Vets all over the country are reporting that they are currently seeing high numbers of dogs with sudden onset and prolific, vomiting.
Most pets recover with medical treatment only but some require intravenous fluids and hospitals stays before they are well again.
If you are a veterinary professional or dog owner who has experienced this, please complete this survey for the Small Animal Veterinary Surveillance Networks (SAVSNET)

A sad post tonight we are afraid... Kath has had to sadly say goodbye to Zeta tonight after a short illness.
We will all miss Zeta and will pass our condolences onto her at this time.
Some of our regular customers such as Bailey will definitely miss Zeta coming on walks with them.
RIP Zeta - you were a legend x

We receive lots of interest when appealing for homes for young cats and kittens, but the older boys not so much.
We have a few lovely gentlemen with us who will be looking for homes soon. We're currently working with them to build their trust and confidence.
Please make yourself known to us if you have a heart and a home for one of our older deserving boys. They need you even more.
❤️🙏🐾
Share if you know exactly what this feels like :)

Urgent plea to save garden wildlife from harm this Christmas!
Please do not use glitter, edible glitter, cake sprinkles or coloured sweets in anything you intend on sprinkling outdoors. Even biodegradable glitter is harmful to animals. If you are making reindeer food please just used rolled oats and bird seed instead and help the wildlife in your garden. Here's a link to a recipe put together by the RSPCA: https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/seasonal/christmas/reindeer
Thank you!
