Dogs on beds?
My husband is a big NO. They are NOT allowed on the beds in our house.
But in his family growing up they weren’t even allowed inside ever and were kennel dogs so I suppose he has given a little.

But today he’s doing some work on my van so me and the kids took a vote due to it being bed sheet changing day and let one of them on. Where she is now happily snoring away next to my youngest son.

So do you let your dogs on the beds, sofas etc or is it a big no for you too?

That’s the face of a little lad who maybe hunted, sniffed and ran to his little hearts content on the gang walk.

I had nowt nasty the treat company for years but due to a family situation I sadly had to halt that business after years of building it up.

So I’ve decided to just do it local and small instead of my huge treat business.
I’ve been selling to my walking clients and thought after seeing the prices of treats in local places I’d maybe offer it out to you guys on my walking page too if there’s an interest.

I change what I order often so there’s difference from month to month on certain products. And all the things I choose are for either deworming, skin and cost health, joint aids or teeth cleaning mixtures.
These aren’t just yummy for your dogs they are good for them too.

So is anyone interested?

Gotta love a bit of ai hahaha
This is what I’m ordering for the treats this time. There’s really soft easy to chew, tougher and also crunchy to cover all bases.
All the fish products are white fish.
Please could you comment on this image so I can write down who wanted packs.

I’ll be doing them in minimum £20 mixed packs
Or minimum £15 easy to chew only pack( these are what Betty has as she can’t chew anymore now she’s old)

Or if you want to chose a few of each you can do that also like a pick and mix.
And they a rent at the stupid store costs either
Let me know if this is something that may interest you.

And did you know the fish ones and the sausage sticks you can also feed to cats!

It can often take a certain type of person to be a dog walker!

Conker alert!🚨
After the UK's record-breaking summer, a premature arrival of autumn has triggered an unseasonably early drop of conkers from horse chestnut trees. This unexpected shift threatens to catch dog owners off guard. Conkers and acorns can be toxic to dogs and in some cases, can even be deadly.
They can lead to symptoms such as:

• Vomiting (being sick)
• Diarrhoea (an upset stomach)
• Stomach Pain
• Restlessness
• Urticaria (rash)
• Swelling around the eyes and mouth
• Not being able to move (or even collapsing)

If you are concerned your dog has chewed or consumed conkers or acorns, or is showing signs of illness, please contact a vet immediately.

Choose wisely
Choose your walker
Choose your trainer
Choose your groomer
Choose your boarder
Choose your kennels
WISELY
Not All of the above is regulated sadly.
People can talk the talk and seem sweet and kind.

But sometimes it can be a curse for who you choose until it’s too late
Ask questions, do your research, educate yourself and don’t just go on face value.
Because there are wolves in sheep’s clothing In these professional fields everywhere.
Hoping for a quick buck and an “easy” earner with no idea or a tainted idea leaving your dog traumatised without you even knowing.
Ask yourself would you question people with your child? Because just cause they are covered in fur doesn’t mean they deserve any less investigation.

I personally heard something today that has hit me hard and affected me all day and made me realise everyone needs to question what is happening with their dogs.
And I don’t think I will ever forget what I heard on this walk.
The world of dog walking and training is changing at a rapid rate and not always for the better.
It wasn’t this way when I started 18 years ago.
I’ve been in a private field for the last 5 years and been out of the ever changing world of dogs until lately.

No true professional should mind multiple questions about anything.
Honesty isn’t a given.
The quicker these fields have some kind of regulation the better.
As a side note there are some amazing professionals in the above fields and if you find one of those your a winner for sure but you don’t find them unless you question and CHOOSE WISELY!
