Mozzy’s wedding day didn’t start on the wedding day. 💙

Because Mozzy can be reactive to both people and dogs and experiences anxiety, we knew that simply showing up as strangers and expecting him to be comfortable wasn’t realistic or fair to him.

So we put in the work beforehand.

There were multiple meetings, time spent building trust, learning his triggers, figuring out what made him comfortable and creating a plan that worked for Mozzy, not just for the wedding timeline.

And that’s okay. Some dogs need more preparation than others.

On the wedding day, success for Mozzy wasn’t walking down an aisle surrounded by guests. It was getting to see his moms, be included in their photos and share a quiet piece of such an important day with them before heading back to the environment where he felt most comfortable. 🥹

Something couples may not realize is that we also have professional dog trainers on our team. For dogs who need additional support, we can help coordinate training leading up to the wedding, including board and train options when appropriate.

And that training isn’t just about getting the perfect wedding photo.

It’s about building handling skills, confidence and strategies that can continue helping your dog long after the wedding. Through moves, new routines, growing families, babies, other pets and all the changes life can bring.

Sometimes including your dog in your wedding means having them there for 20 minutes instead of 8 hours. Sometimes it means weeks or months of preparation beforehand.

We’ll always advocate for the version that keeps your dog safe, comfortable and successful. 🤍

Have a reactive, anxious or easily overwhelmed dog and wondering if they could still be included in your wedding? Send us a message. We’re happy to talk through what that could realistically look like.

Sometimes success looks like staying for the whole ceremony. Sometimes it looks like five quiet minutes with your favourite people. 🤍

Lucy, a Basenji/Bully mix, is a very nervous, anxious girl, and her parents knew that bringing her to their wedding would need to be completely on her terms.

Even the leaves blowing around outside were a little scary for her that day. 🍂 So there was no pressure to stay longer, meet a bunch of people, or push through just for the sake of getting the photos.

With Nicole and Emma supporting her, Lucy came by for a brief visit, said hello to her parents, got some beautiful photos with them, and then headed back home for a quiet, relaxing evening.

And honestly? That was a HUGE win for Lucy. 🥹

Including your dog in your wedding doesn’t have to mean asking them to handle an environment they aren’t comfortable in. Sometimes it means adjusting the plan, keeping the visit short and sweet, and advocating for the dog standing in front of us.

We’ll always choose their comfort over getting “just one more photo.” 🤍🐾

A tuxedo cat in an actual bow tie? We were never going to be normal about this. 🥹🤍

Maverick and Goose joined their parents for wedding photos and marked a fun Royal Paws first! We’ve chaperoned cats at weddings alongside dogs before, but this was our first wedding where the cats were the only pets attending. 🐈‍⬛🐈

With Jocelyn looking after them, these two had their own little itinerary: stroller time, dinner for two, and a photo appearance with the newlyweds. 🐾

As a cat mom myself, I know just how much those family photos mean. Getting to help another couple have their whole little family together was so special.

Cat parents, this is your sign to ask about including your feline family in your wedding plans. We’d love to chat about what could work for them!

A fireside dance with your dogs and all your favourite people singing “Shut Up and Dance” together? 🥹🤍

Dom and Elio took a moment to dance with Kaya and Kiwi by the fire, surrounded by their guests, and it was such a sweet part of their wedding day.

We love the planned photos and ceremony moments, but these little pockets of time together are so special. Your dogs getting to be part of the celebration, right there with you. 🐾🔥

Want your pups there for moments like this? Let’s chat!

Important job: deliver the rings.
Personal priority: get pets from the entire wedding party. 😂🤍

Our Wedding Dog of the Week, Simba, managed both beautifully! This handsome golden joined his parents for their church wedding, then soaked up the attention outside while everyone celebrated and posed for photos.

And that face surrounded by bouquets? Quite possibly our favourite floral arrangement ever. 🥹🌸

Helping couples include their dogs often starts with a conversation about what’s possible. For Simba, a little extra planning meant he could be there for such a meaningful part of his parents’ day before heading home to relax.

Your dog doesn’t have to love everyone at your wedding to enjoy being there with you. 🤍

For Benji, having someone he trusted made all the difference. Someone to notice when he needed space, advocate for him around new people, and help him take a break from the excitement.

That’s a huge part of what we do. We get to know the dog behind the intake form and build a plan around their comfort, personality and boundaries. Then we keep listening to what they’re telling us throughout the day.

Sometimes inclusion looks like a short visit for photos. Sometimes it means watching from a little farther away. Every dog’s version can look different, and we’re here to help you figure out what feels right for yours.

And Benji, those little teeth and that red bow tie? We’re obsessed. 🥹

Worried about including your anxious or reactive dog? Let’s chat about their needs and what might be possible. 🐾
