100% agree.
It's sometimes a hard decision to cancel classes/training.
In this heat - it the easiest decision I've had to make.
A dogs (and humans) health and welfare will always come first and foremost over any income I make
This weather really hits our industry hard.
Over the last few days, many of us in the dog industry have had to make the decision to cancel classes, workshops, walks, training sessions, daycare activities and events.
As small businesses, every cancellation has an impact. We lose income, spend hours rearranging schedules, and often absorb costs that can’t be recovered.
But dog welfare will always come first.
No class, walk, workshop or training session is worth putting a dog at risk. When temperatures soar, our responsibility is to keep dogs safe, even when it’s the harder business decision.
So today, I’d love to shine a light on the amazing small businesses who are also putting welfare first. If you know a dog trainer, walker, daycare, groomer, physio, hydrotherapist, pet sitter or any other pet professional who has been affected by the heat, tag them below and give them a follow.
Supporting small businesses costs nothing, but it can make a huge difference.
Let’s show some love to the people who spend every day caring for our dogs. ❤️🐾
