Wellness Walkies - Dog walking York

⭐️ Monday Morning woodland walk and talk⭐️

As well as been a huge animal lover, i have qualifications in psychology and a mental health advocate.

Myself and my neighbour have been going to wheldrake woods on a Monday morning.

We find being in nature so therapeutic and having good chats sets us up for a positive week.

If you or anyone you know would like to meet us for a dog walk around the woods please send me a message, we are happy to listen if you need a vent 😁

The only requirement is that you like dogs and can get yourself there.

(Everything discussed will be done so in confidence)

⭐️PLEASE SHARE ️⭐️

I'm looking for new customers who are looking for:
⭐️ Walks in the Dringhouses area,
⭐️ Regular Daycare,
⭐️ Regular holiday home boarding.

Starting from January 2024.

As a small business, it is very difficult to compete with larger companies regarding advertising, and it is getting even harder with Facebook as posts are not reaching the intended audience.

We would appreciate it if our followers & customers could help our business.
Only takes seconds but would mean a lot!

🌟 Go to Wellness Walkies - Dog walking York
🌟 Next to the “Follow” option you will see 3 dots ••• click on them
🌟 Click 'INVITE FRIENDS'
🌟 Click ‘ALL'
🌟 Wait 10-15 seconds for the invitations to send.

Thank you 🙌

⭐️ Winter is coming ⭐️

I love this time of year getting wrapped up, feeling the weather on your face.

If you'd like to make any holiday booking please get in touch ASAP. I require a 50% deposit to secure dates.

Thank you ⭐️✨️🐕🐾

⭐️ Autumn ⭐️

Kiwi the pointer pup didn't want to leave the cuddle professional Darcey today.
I think that's a good sign.

We're extremely lucky!

The weather is changing. Its getting wet! Which means puddle swims and muddy paws 🐾

Always welcome to new enquiries for regular dog walking.

Very sensitive subject. Nice to know there is a personal service nearby 🐾

Somtimes it’s difficult for us to be vocal about our business as it’s a very sensitive subject.
However more and more people say “oooh I didn’t know you were in York” and wished they had , had the opportunity to receive our help and support.
When we share posts etc it’s always to inform others what we have done to help our pet families. And to keep the memories alive for many a precious pet and their family.
We are coming up to our first year of being open in September.
Please like and share our page/group if you feel someone will benefit from the services of our family run small bespoke business 💜
We are open 24hours a day, 7 days a week for all messages and calls, visits are by appointment only.

⭐️ Peter ⭐️

This beautiful boy is here for a long stay. His owner was struggling to find last minute accommodation for him.

I'm happy to be able to help. Big thank you to Vikki at The Dog’s Digs for having Peter on days when I already had plans.

A 5 week stay is difficult to accommodate when you have a family but luckily us dog boarders are a community and support each other.

I've been talking about all things cockapoo/cavapoo recently with some prospective new puppy owners who are looking for a new addition! Cockapoos and cavapoos are probably the most common dogs I work with for both training & grooming so I thought a little post on all things doodle/poo for those considering adding one to your home. I'd like to preface this with I love doodles and all the ones I work with, but I also work with many people who wish they'd known more before they got one.

🐶 Your dog is a mix between two breeds, one of which is poodle. Research poodles, poodle coat maintenance, poodle temperament and poodle looks! Genetics don't do a nice 50/50 blend of physical traits and characteristics, your doodle/poo could end up looking and acting 100% poodle, 100% cocker/cava/lab/Goldie etc or a mix of the two. You don't get to pick those traits, so make sure you are completely happy with a dog who is essentially a poodle or a cocker, cavalier, lab etc.

🐶 Your doodle/poos coat is very likely going to shed. Unless you are mixing two non-shedding breeds, there is no guarantee they won't inherit a shedding coat. Doodle/poo coats can actually be much harder to manage and maintain than a poodle coat due to the mix of different coat types and textures.

🐶 Cavapoos are not a calmer cockapoo! I hear this at least once a week, and I've certainly never seen any evidence of this 😆 Poodles are HIGH energy and bouncy. With cockapoos, you are mixing two high energy breeds. Cavapoos, yes the cavalier can be calmer but the poodle certainly isn't! Do not get any sort of poo/doodle if you are wanting a nice calm dog. Some are! But the majority I've met and worked with would not be classified as calm dogs.

🐶 You MUST ensure that both parents are fully tested (all DNA testing for any mix plus BVA eye test). Larger poodle/doos need hip and elbow scoring also. Cavapoos should really have heart screenings too. Contrary to popular belief, crossbreeds do need health testing to ensure that the puppies aren't affected by life threatening diseases. These are easy to do and inexpensive, there is absolutely no excuse for breeders not to be doing them.

I recommend if you are looking at adding a doodle/poo to your house, ask yourself "why don't I want the purebred?". If there is something you don't like about poodles, be aware your poodle cross could very likely have this! If there is something you don't like about cockers, be aware they could very likely have this too!

I hear lots of people say that they don't want a poodle because they don't like their faces. Did you know a poodle nose is shaved with clippers? Naturally, they look like many of the cockapoos, cavapoos & labradoodles we see about. Here are some pictures of Blossom (the same dog!) With a fluffy and shaved face. They also come in 3 different sizes (toy, miniature and standard).

We offer a service for helping you find the perfect dog for you. We will even help you with finding breeders for your selected breed or mix!

Our passion is working with nervous & reactive dogs - this is where my training journey began and after owning three reactive dogs myself in the past, I empathise with the many challenges owners of reactive dogs can face. Reactivity is still so misunderstood in the dog world and yet something I see so often.

⭐️ weekend fun dog show ⭐️

We couldn't miss the chance to take elliot and Hershey to the Tollerton dog show. Elliot won reserve best on show!

Then we had a paddle in the river at knaresborough. They are part of the family ✨️

🏅😍🏵🏊‍♀️🥰⛱️🐾

⭐️ Elliot & Hershey ⭐️

The boss and his older smaller bro are on their holidays with us and we're so happy.

Elliot is a Great dane.
We get ALOT of attention when out and about with him

FAQS:

1) Can you ride him? no.

2) How old is he? 2.

3) does he take up a lot of space in your house? Yes but we just step over him

4) does he eat much? Yes 15- 20 cups of food per day, he's like a toddler and wakes up in the night hungry..

People and their dogs can be intimidated by his size and I understand, I always try to reassure people.
The only things to watch out for is him knocking you over and licking you to death.

Danes are known to be such a docile breed.

Next time you see us out and about come and say hi 👋

Its so important that I'm

⭐️ Work Experience ⭐️

Everyone meet Poppy.

Poppy has started assisting me with caring for dogs in my home and on walks.

She is currently studying animal management at askham bryan college and wanted to have experience working in the pet service industry.

Poppy is autistic and has struggled in the past with regulating her emotions. Being around amimals has helped her feel relaxed and enjoy her surroundings.

I am very happy with how Poppy has showed compassion and patience with the dogs in my care and can't wait to have many memorable days together.

Keeping up the 5⭐️ treatment all dogs receive at York Pet Wellness Services. 🐾

⭐️ Bank Holiday Special ⭐️

Albus Dumbledore the golendoodle enjoyed his Bank Holiday weekend with us. We love to take well behaved pooches for days out making memories.

We've had a jam packed few days!

Still learning important lessons.
But the majority of the time it's about fun and cuddles 🤗

⭐️ Important ⭐️

I will not be able to walk female dogs that are in season for 2 weeks from the first day of signs.

I also have decided to no longer have intact males for daycare or boarding (except for some cases ie young dogs pre op)

Enjoy your weekend everyone 🇬🇧

30/04/2023

⭐️ Home ⭐️

This is my families home.
Our safe place.
We love having dogs come to stay and have already met many amazing pooches and made memories with them.

After a few negative experiences I have had to get stricter and be picky with what dogs I allow to board in my home.

If you have a booking or would like to book your pet to board in ny home please read below.

⭐️ IMPORTANT⭐️

IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS IE YOUR PETS BEHAVIOUR DO NOT ASK ME TO BOARD THEM IN MY FAMILY HOME.

BEHAVIOUR INCLUDING:

AGRESSION
CHEWING
SEPERATION ANXIETY
MALE DOMINANCE
NOT TOILET TRAINED
EXCESSIVE BARKING

WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

I will be building relationships with regular daycare/ walking customers from now on.
Boarding will be prioritised to them.
Around that i will be extremely selective on what dogs board as one offs in my home.

The idea of this business is for wellness of your pet, yourself and my family.

Going forward I want to carry on having positive experiences with happy pets.

Thank you 🙏

⭐️FULL WEEK ⭐️

A brilliant full week of boarding, day care and walks.

I keep learning and feeling very fortunate for the lessons.

I want to be the best at being a pet sitter and make this life as enjoyable as possible.

25/04/2023

⭐️ Kobi ⭐️

Spotlight on my pal today.

He has my life annoying other dogs then running away, but we live a character at wellness walkies, and Kobi is certainly that!

We walk 4 tines a week together, and he loves his auntie Sophie.

He also started listening to me now!

20/04/2023

⭐️ Sisi ⭐️

We said goodbye to Sisi yesterday. We had a lovely week with this beautiful girl. We hope to see her again soon.

16/04/2023

⭐️ Closed for new Boarding customers ⭐️

I have had to make the decision to close my diary to any new boarding customers.

Going forward I will re-book current pups for boarding.

I would like to mainly focus on daycare and dog walking in my local area at the moment.

I have had an amazing first month of being a pet sitter licensee and feel extremely grateful for the amount of enquiries i have had.

I have limited availability for NEW daycare and walkies bookings.
