Hi. I volunteers at Idlewild Animal Sanctuary and the site is at risk of closing if we can not raise the money for a new site. We really need help to fundraise and save the sanctuary. Please can you share the link with anyone you know and donate if you can. Idlewild and the animals mean a lot to me and I really want to help the sanctuary. https://gofund.me/b810ea06
Thank you x

🌞 Our hot weather plan 🌞

😎 I hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather! Now the weather is getting nicer I would like to let you all know my summer plan before the hot weather comes.

🐾💕 Firstly, my main and only concern is the safety of your dogs- I will do what is best for them and always put their safety first. I will carry water on me at all times and they will be offered water whilst in transport. I also have 3 cooling mats available in the car

🌡️ ~18-20~At this temperature I will need to monitor any brachycephalic breeds and will cut the walk short if they appear to be struggling these breeds will get priority in early morning walks (6am, 7am, 8am)
Brachycephalic Breeds include: Bulldogs (French and English), Boxer Dogs, Boston Terriers, Pekingese, Chinese Shar-Pei, Pugs, Lhasa Apsos, Shih Tzus, and Bull Mastiffs

🌡️~ 20-23~ At this temperature I will need to monitor any elderly dogs, puppies, brachycephalic breeds and any dogs with obesity or underlying health conditions. At these temperatures this category of dogs will also have priority in early morning walks (6am, 7am, 8am)

🌡️~ 24-26~ At this temperature I will not be walking any brachycephalic breeds, elderly dogs, puppies or dogs with underlying health conditions. House visits will be available to replace walks
🐾Healthy dogs will be offered either early morning or late afternoon walks or house visits for between 20-30 minutes* depending on availability *These visits, where possible, will be carried out twice a day and I will provide enrichment games, water play and cuddles 💕

🌡️~27 and over~ At these temperatures I will only be offering early am walks, late pm walks or house visits for every dog.

🐾 If we are out in temperatures under 26 I will keep to cool areas such as woodlands.
❗️Walks will be cut short if I feel the dog is struggling in the heat.
🐾 Water will be provided at all times and I will try and keep walks as calm as possible- so ,sorry dogs, no tennis balls if it’s too warm!
❗️Please understand I will be potentially trying to get around up to 13 dogs individually so I may not be able to spend a whole hour with them.
🐾 If your dog requires sun cream, please apply this before I arrive.

💕 Please understand that, like you, I am not in control of the weather and I am still trying to keep my business going during these times, i’d much rather loose money than a dog. Please be aware I may need to change things at short notice if weather changes, or, god forbid, a dog is struggling and needs to see a vet.
Please let me know at the nearest opportunity what walk you would like your dog booked onto.

Morning walks will be available:
6am, 7am, 8am, 9am, 10am

Drop in visits 11am-4pm

Walks will then be available again 4pm onwards.

Thank you for your continued support❤️

‼️Puppy Socialisation Package starting on the 1st of June‼️

It’s the time of year where lots of you have welcomed some lovely little puppies into your family! Your looking for ways to support your new pup, and some of you have messaged me to help! As I’m sure you understand, the long, energetic walks we do with the big dogs, really aren’t suitable for puppies. I follow the rule 5 mins walking for every month of their age, to ensure their bodies develop appropriately.

So what happens in a puppy social?
Puppy socials give puppies a chance to spend time with a new human, meet other dogs, learn manners, learn the basics, practice short pack walks, explore new places, in a controlled environment, giving them the chance to become more confident, well rounded dogs. Pick up and drop off is included too!

When they are then old enough, they will have the opportunity to become part of the pack, and come on big dog walks.

Puppy socials will be running once a week on a Thursday morning for 8 weeks, at the cost of £120 per puppy. Starting on Thursday 1st June. £50 non refundable deposit will secure your puppies space.

If you would be interested in this service, please send me a message!

❗️Please note, all puppies must be fully vaccinated and up to date with worm and flee treatment. Puppies will need 2 weeks between their vaccinations before starting puppy socials❗️

Good Friday fun❤️🐣🐰

It is with great sadness we are waking up this morning to the news that a true national treasure has sadly passed away during the night. Paul was a true gentleman in a every form quick witted and a caring soul, his love of making people laugh and living life to its fullest was shown in everything he did, The work he carried out for animal rescue homes is a true measure of the person he was no matter the animal he gave them the love and care which every animal should have.

You will be sadly missed by us all

The unsung heroes of the pet world

Oh you JUST walk dogs...

I think it's about time we start seeing dog walkers not as a hobby business or simply picking up p**p.

You genuinely care about the dogs, have worked relentlessly hard to keep dogs safe and have the right experience/qualifications.

But then there's some of the general public...

I'm sick to death of people undermining dog walkers.

I'm sick to death of hobby type businesses setting up as they think it's easy.

It's much more than simply chucking a load of dogs together and picking up poo.

So a big thank you to all those PROFESSIONAL dog walkers.

The ones that are ethical.

Where the dog's welfare comes first.

It's more than just a job, or making money.

It's their passion, their life. They are taking care of a living breathing creature.

They are dedicated. Provide a high quality service.

To trust someone with your pet is an honour. I know I wouldn't trust just anyone.

So next time you a see a dog walker, please understand, they do MUCH MORE than just walking dogs!!!!

* Sharing this again now highlighting the need to continue supporting your local dog walker.

🌨️BE KIND TO YOUR DOG WALKER IN WINTER 🌨️

Being a dog walker is an awesome job, but it's not without its challenges. And winter is filled with its own unique challenges. Here are some things to bare in mind if you have a dog walker this winter:

❄️ Pick ups and drop offs take a lot longer due to icy side roads, paths, steps and driveways.

❄️ It also takes longer to load and unload vans while we dry dogs and put on coats or towel robes and make sure everyone's warm enough.

❄️ We have to do a lot of laundry when it's cold and wet. Like, a lot!

❄️ We don't go to work in a warm office, we go from driving sketchy roads in the van to out walking in the icy gales with rain and snow battering our faces, all while making sure your dog is warm and safe and having a nice time.

❄️ We might genuinely lose a finger to frostbite whilst picking up p**ps! 😅🥶

❄️ Not all walkers have the same routes or roads to drive and not all walkers have the same type of transport or capabilities for driving in snow/ice. So please don't assume just because other walkers are out that yours should be too.

❄️ If your walker cancels they have weighed up the safety aspects of the day ahead and made a decision they feel is safest for themselves and your dogs. I can't speak for every single walker of course, but most of us never want to have to cancel walks.

❄️ Remember we don't just drive main roads and we don't just have to get from point A to point B. We have multiple pick ups and drop offs most of which, if not all, are on side roads, cul-de-sacs and often country lanes.

❄️ We have to try and get to and park at walking spots which are usually off road in some capacity or completely untreated parking areas. Then we have to safely get a group of dogs out the van on a potentially very icy ground. If you think it's hard to have one dog on lead in the ice, try 6 😅

❄️ Vans simply don't do as well in snow and ice as other cars do. Roads will generally be much harder for us.

❄️ If we get stuck, we have a van full of dogs we need to try and get home and keep warm and happy. So we want to do our very best to avoid this happening!

❄️ If your walker doesn't already have this in place, please consider still paying them when they have to cancel for weather safety reasons. We can't control the weather and we still have our own bills to pay.

Yes we chose this career, and yes we love it and your dogs! But we don't do it because it's easy and we still have hard days.

I'm so grateful to have a wonderful group of clients and to have the genuine privilege of looking after your doggie’s and getting to share a part of their life. It's an honour I never take lightly.

Thanks for reading 😊🐾
