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. 🤩🐾
Happy Father's Day
To the best:
🐾 Pooper scooper
🐾 Treat giver
🐾 Walkies buddy
🐾 Ball thrower
🐾 Snuggler
🐾 Play time provider
Thank you for being such a pawsome dad! 💙
Love from, the dog x

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?
Are you your cat’s favourite person? ❤
If not, here’s some tips on how to jump into first place and become your cat’s ultimate favourite. 👇🏼
🐱 Let your cat take the lead
🐱 Be calm

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
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.

❤️🐾 PUPPIES! We wanted to take a moment to show you some of the gorgeous puppies we care for and all about their amazing progress since being on our Puppy Package!
Dexter the Beagle has just arrived home and his parents asked us to pop in twice a day while they are at work. Dexter is learning his basics right now; sit, here and his name, he’s also practicing his crate training.
Ocean the Dalmation has been on our puppy package for a couple of months now. She is learning all about the big wide world on her age appropriate walks and is also reinforcing the training she is having at Harrisons Positive Dog Training while the team visit her.
Last but not least is a throwback to Willow the Frenchie who joined us as a tiny dot of a puppy two years ago and has graduated from our puppy package onto our adult dog walks and now walks in small group of dog friends and has grown into a well loved member of the WLP team!
Big well done to all our puppies for being amazing 🐶❤️

Me: So Aunty Eileen, what are you doing with your weekend off, completely dog free?! Aunty Eileen: I’m going to Crufts of course! 😂😂 We just can’t keep her away!
❤️🐾 Welcome Wednesday to new girl Molly who has come on leaps and bounds since joining us for walks last week.
❤️🐾 We are FELINE FINE on the beautiful Friday morning! It’s been all fun, games and cuddles this week with our lovely cat customers 🐈⬛
❤️🐾 Cedar enjoyed her stay at Aunty Heather’s with Gracie. Walking like good girls past the sheep and then a good romp around the fields!
❤️🐾 SOUND ON 🔉 Loose Lead Walking with Puppies. I’ve made this little video of six month old Hugo today to show you what putting lots of effort in with training in those early weeks can mean for a well rounded young dog. Hugo’s family went to puppy classes and kept us updated so that we could reinstill those methods in the training portion of his Puppy Package with us. They’ve put in SO MUCH effort and so have the team and just look at how brilliantly he is doing. Labradors are a working breed and thrive off of doing a good job, so Hugo gets as much enjoyment out of walking well as his family does. Win win all round! Well done everybody 👏🏼
❤️🐾 2022 RECAP ll We have been truly blessed to care for your pets this year and I really enjoyed looking back at their happy faces making this video. Can you spot your Furry Family member? Wishing you all a Happy New Year. May it be filled with joy and love. From us to you, thank you xx
❤️🐾 This week was our last visits with Lyra and Cloud who we have been looking after every week since they arrived with their mum as little kittens back in July. They’re now all grown up and ready for the big wide world and so its time to say….not goodbye, but see you soon 😻
❤️🐾 ITS SUMMER! You may have noticed we have been a little quiet on social media lately (sorry about that!) but that’s because we’ve been enjoying looking after so many of your furry families instead. Here’s a snap shot of the last couple of weeks. 🐾 Dog walks 🐾 Cat visits 🐾 Puppy care 🐾 Home boarding 🐾 Small animal care Thanks for choosing us to care for your pets this summer. We are LOVING IT ❤️🐩🐹🐈⬛🐰🐠🐓🐭🐶🐴❤️
❤️🐾 Feeding time for the bunnies this morning. Small amounts of romaine lettuce provide water content and nutrients. Remember iceberg lettuce isn’t good for rabbits so choose their greens carefully 🥬
