We also offer:
Pet Sitting (in your home),

Training I have always had and been around dogs as members of our family so I understand their needs, although all unique, ultimately come down to exercise, stimulation and socialisation. Having had dogs and having to work long hours and juggle other commitments while ensuring my four-legged friend

was well cared for I am best placed to understand how hard it can be. At Doggy Dawdles we offer a friendly, reliable dog walking service around the Lothians. Your dog will be picked up from their home and dropped off, with clean paws (and anything else that gets muddy) having had lots of fun. Your doggy will be given their own collar and tag with Doggy Dawdles tags. All doggies, if permission given, will have their photos taken on walks and visits and posted on Doggy Dawdles social media as a means to keep mums and dads up-to-date 🙂 Shows the fur babies having fun! New Dogs will be walked on the leash until we learn to trust each other, and recall can be tested. Doggy Dawdles will ensure that your dogs needs are met while giving them some loving company, with cuddles and treats (if allowed) throughout the working day. I have spent the last wee while studying and travelling, continuing my love for Animals, and have a HNC in Animal Care, BSc Animal Biology, MSc Wildlife Biology and Conservation and a diploma in Advanced Canine Behaviour from the British College of Canine Studies. Pet Visits for small furries (cats, rodents and rabbits, etc), birds and reptiles.
2. Pet Sitting for dogs in their own home for 1 or more nights while you go to an event or any on a holiday.
3. Event Chaperone - if you would like your dog(s) to be a part of your big day or other event.
4. Training - 1:1 sessions
5. Nutrition advice
6. Pet Transportation

Dogs must be fully vaccinated (or titre tested), flea and worm treated. In season bi***es will be available for solo walks only (where availability allows). Unneutered dogs will be assessed as individuals. I will cover the local areas from Tranent (Musselburgh, Prestonpans, Wallyford, Port Seton, Macmerry, Ormiston and Elphinstone) as standard but will consider out with these areas too, so please ask.

Are you aware of the common Easter TOXINS? 🐥🍫

Remember to keep sweet treats and any packaging or small Easter toys and decorations out of reach from your furry friends. Easter is one of the busiest holidays for vets caring for dogs who have eaten toxic substances! If you suspect your dog has eaten a toxin or foreign object over the Easter holidays, contact your closest emergency vet straight away. In most cases, vomiting will be induced to empty your dogs stomach of the toxin, and further hospitalisation may be needed to prevent long term damage☠️🤢

It's Dog Bite Prevention Week (April 13-19)

A "dog bite" can mean a lot of different things to different people, and it can be hard to separate the emotion and subjective experience from the facts.

Dr. Dunbar's Bite Scale has long been used to evaluate the severity of dog bites objectively by looking at measurable characteristics of the resulting wound. This system ranks dog bites on a scale of 1-6, with Level 1 being a "bite" where the dog's teeth don't actually touch the victim's skin, and Level 6 being a bite, or series of bites, that leaves the victim dead.

The difference between rehabilitating a dog that has bitten at a Level 1 or 2, vs. a dog that has bitten at a Level 3 or above is enormous.

Often, dogs that bite at Level 1 or 2 can be rehabilitated quite quickly and safely, because the risk that they will cause a serious injury is so low, so classical conditioning and lure reward training can proceed unencumbered.

On the other hand, if you have a dog that has bitten a person hard enough to puncture the skin (Level 3), or worse, you have an altogether different problem on your hands. There is a very real chance this dog will bite someone again, and when they do, there is a good chance they will break the skin again. Rehabilitation is much harder now because of the danger posed to everyone who comes into contact with the dog.
