And the winner is... 🥁

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. 🤩🐾

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

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.

Does your dog suffer with hay fever? 🤧

Our story

Elkie is the owner of We Love Pets Portsmouth and as a local lady is familiar with all the best dog walking routes in Portsmouth and the surrounding areas. Elkie is police checked, pet first aid trained and fully insured so you can have complete peace of mind that your pet is in highly capable and caring hands. She has also completed a City and Guilds qualification in dog walking. Elkie loves all animals and her years of owning and training her own pets has provided her with the skills and experience required for looking after your pets.

Before you make your booking we will visit you to talk through your animal care routine and ensure we stick to your normal pet care practice. We don’t carry out group walks to ensure maximum fun and safety. We do pair dogs with another friendly dog to socialise and play with. We also do not use marked vans or cars to ensure security.

Elkie will take your dog for a wonderful walk with plenty of fun and exercise, and they will return home exercised and happy for a towel down, treats and fresh water. Regular updates and photos are all part of the dog walking service.

If you’re looking for dog walking and pet sitting in Portsmouth call Elkie on 07539429719 or email [email protected].
