Some interesting thoughts here !
How long to leave a dog without interaction and welfare check is a question we get asked all the time
The RSPCA guidelines recommends four hourly intervals and it’s a “rule of thumb” we have used when setting up our own policies for pet care
All dogs on pet sits receive a visit at 3.5/4 hourly intervals and we aim to complete dog walking sessions following the same thought process
However each dog is individual and needs to have their particular age, personality and capabilities considered
If you’re concerned about your dog following your return to “normality” and want a chat or some one to help you support your dog please get in touch. 🐶🐾🐶🐾🐶🐾🐶🐾🐶🐾🐶🐾🐶🐾
