Fantastic advice and Info

19/07/2024

Please be sensible and don't take your dog's out in the hot weather 🐶

I'd rather lose money as a dog walker than lose a pet to heat stroke and as a veterinary nurse I've seen how devastating it is to lose a patient over a 5 minute walk 🐾

No dog has ever died from missing one walk but dogs do die from one walk in the heat ❤️

18/07/2024

We have been adjusting all our lunchtime and afternoon walks to accommodate the heat today 🌞

We have swapped our usual walks to some play in the garden (shaded/cool areas) & Drop in Visits instead.

Here is George enjoying some play time earlier this morning 🐾

15/07/2024

Are you stil unsure whether to book in a pet sitter or use a cattery for your next holiday then just ask Reggie 🐱

Last week I had the pleasure of looking after him whilst his family had a holiday and whilst
the first morning he was a little shy it wasn't long before we were firm friends as he was rolling around for belly rubs and fuss when I did my twice daily visits 🐾

He ate well, he was playing with his toys and his owners reported he was very chilled and relaxed when they got home 🐈

Call or message now for a FREE meet and greet to see if we can help ☎️

Last week we looked after the gorgeous Toulouse so his owner could have a holiday 🥰

Having a pet sitter means your cat stays stress free in his home comforts rather than in a cattery ❤️

Call or Message to book FREE meet & greet 😺

2024/25 bookings still available 🐾

Happy World Chocolate Day 🍫

We all enjoy a sweet treat from time to time but please remember that chocolate is highly toxic to pets particularly Dogs and Cats.

Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, both of which are harmful to animals. The darker the chocolate, the more harmful it is and even small quantities can cause serious health problems such as vomiting, diarrhoea, increased heart rate, increased respiratory effort and in severe cases, seizures and death.

By ensuring all chocolate is kept out of their reach and only feeding pet friendly treats we can keep them healthy for many more years to come 🐾

July 5th marks Pet Remembrance Day. It is a day to celebrate and remember the wonderful pets we’ve loved and lost, and the lasting impact they’ve had on our lives ❤️

Over the years, we have lost many pets so know first hand how important these family members are to us and the reason behind why we work with animals 🐾

Here are a few of ours...
Feel free to comment and add your own special pets 💓

Coco swapped her usual lunchtime walks for some early morning and evening walks in the woods this week to avoid the sun especially important for dogs like Coco who are more senior in age.

She still enjoyed some fresh air but we kept nice and cool in the shade with plenty of water.

27/06/2024

A 7am walk for Dave this morning to avoid the midday sun.

What a lovely start to the day 🐾

Tops Tips for Dog Walking during the heatwave

🐾 Walk your dog when it's cooler in the early morning or late evening 🐾

🐾 Do the Tarmac test: If you can't comfortably hold your hand on the ground for five seconds then postpone your walk until its cooler 🐾

🐾 Ensure your Dog has plenty of Shade and water throughout the day 🐾

🐾 Take extra care with brachycephalic breeds (Flat faced), overweight, unwell and older dogs as they are at increased risk of heatstroke 🐾

🐾 Exercise is the most common trigger for heat related illness so take care not to over exert your dog 🐾

24/06/2024

Due to the predicted hot weather, I will be adjusting all walks & training sessions booked this week ☀️

I will contact everyone with bookings to make alternative arrangements 🐶

23/06/2024

Have you booked a holiday but worry your cats may get stressed in a cattery then why not consider booking A Teacher's Pet for our personalised cat sitting service 🐈

We love our regulars so last week we had the pleasure of looking after the lovely trio Bo Peep, Rex and Buzz again whilst their owners were away 🐾

Call 07734 466 463 or visit www.ateacherspet.co.uk for more info and don't forget we offer a FREE meet and greet.

At A Teacher's Pet we love cats too and we have been very busy with lots of cat sits and feeds 😍

As well as all of these lovely ones we also had camera shy Molly & Dora for a few days too 🐱🐱

If you are going away and know your cat would be happier at home rather than a cattery then give me a call or message to see if we can help 🐾

At A Teacher's Pet we take your dog on different walks, such as parks, fields, woods and street walks that offer numerous benefits for them. These benefits include:

1. **Mental Stimulation**: New environments provide new sights, sounds, and smells, which engage your dog's brain and prevent boredom.

2. **Physical Exercise**: Different terrains and routes offer varied physical challenges, helping to maintain your dog's physical health and fitness.

3. **Socialisation**: Encountering new people, dogs, and situations helps your dog develop social skills and reduces fearfulness or aggression.

4. **Behavioural Improvement**: The novelty of new routes can reduce destructive behaviours caused by boredom or pent-up

5. **Training Opportunities**: New environments provide opportunities for practicing obedience and commands in different settings.

6. **Stress Reduction**: Exploring new places can be calming and enjoyable for dogs, reducing stress and anxiety.

7. **Adventure and Fun**: Varied walks add excitement and fun to your dog's routine, keeping them happy and engaged.

So why not give us a call or text on 07734 466463 or visit www.ateacherspet.co.uk to see if we can offer you a permanent or adhoc walks.
