Apologies for any delays to walks and visits today!

Today was not my lucky 🍀 day 😂😭

First... I got completely soaked 🌧️ through on the morning group and ended up having to go home and change afterwards. Then on the way to pick up a dog for my afternoon group I ended up puncturing my tyre on god knows what on the road. 🙄 Typical

Thank you to all my clients for their patience and apologies for any inconvenience.

A massive thank you to Connors Mobile tyres who came out speedily and in the pouring rain to sort it for me. Would highly recommend. 👏

One of the most important things to watch in a dog - and something many people don’t realise tells us a huge amount about their health - is their gait 🐾

(Photo example: my Rough Collie, Kenai.)

A dog’s gait is the way they move when walking, trotting or running, and even subtle changes can be an early indicator that something isn’t quite right.

Different breeds naturally move differently. A Rough Collie has a very different gait to a Labrador, Bulldog, German Shepherd or Spaniel. Some breeds have long flowing strides, others are naturally heavier in movement, and some have unique structural movement patterns linked to their build.

Because of this, getting familiar with what is normal for your own dog is incredibly important.

Changes in gait can sometimes indicate:
• Pain or discomfort
• Joint or muscle issues
• Arthritis
• Injuries or strains
• Paw or nail problems
• Neurological issues
• Breed-related structural concerns
• Underlying health conditions

Sometimes the signs are very subtle at first:
• A shortened stride
• Slight limping after exercise
• Toe splaying
• Weight shifting
• Bunny hopping
• Stiffness getting up
• Uneven movement
• Reluctance to walk as far

As a dog walker, one advantage of seeing dogs regularly is that I become very familiar with their normal movement patterns and behaviour. Small day-to-day changes are often easier to notice when you see a dog consistently over time.

Recently, one of my client’s dogs seemed slightly lame during walks and I noticed one paw appeared more splayed than usual. I suggested a vet check for peace of mind, and it turned out he has calcified growths on his toes which were affecting his balance and movement - explaining why his gait had changed.

Early observation can make a huge difference when it comes to managing pain, preventing worsening injuries and catching underlying issues sooner.

Nobody knows your dog better than the people who see them regularly. Sometimes the smallest changes can be the first sign that they need a little extra help 🐾
