Couldn't agree more, cancelling walks in hot weather is just as much a pain for us dog walkers as it is our customers but your dog dying of heatstroke is a pain none of us can take back!
I know for clients it can be frustrating when we cancel sessions and classes due to the heat... but this is why! Safety and the wellbeing of the dog is always our highest priority.
"A dog walker has been filmed carrying the "lifeless" body of a pet, suffering from heat stroke, back home hours before the owner found her dead.
The limbs of Shelby, an English Bulldog, can be seen sticking up in the air during the Ring Doorbell footage as her exhausted body was carried into the property following a walk in sweltering 27C heat.
Her owner, disabled gran Mandy Lawrie, 63, returned home to find that the two-year-old pooch lying dead on the living room floor 💔"
