Moochy Poochy Dog Walking

Here comes the annual kennel cough post…

🐾 KENNEL COUGH 🐾

Just a little reminder, you are not required by me to have the kennel cough vaccine, it does not stop your dog catching the virus but it may help with the symptoms.

💉 Nasal Kennel Cough Vaccine – If your dog has this, please let me know! As a precaution, I won’t walk them for 10 days afterwards as it is a live vaccine and can shed the virus.

💉 Injectable Kennel Cough Vaccine – Some vets offer a non-live alternative that doesn’t shed live vaccine bacteria, meaning your dog can continue walks as normal!

❤️ Why am I so cautious?

I look after lots of different dogs, including puppies, elderly dogs and those with health problems. Kennel cough spreads like wildfire and can be much more serious for our more vulnerable doggies!
Also from a business point of view, it’s important that I keep any outbreaks contained. Dogs with kennel cough cannot attend walks as it’s highly contagious, and they need plenty of rest to recover. Once it starts spreading between dogs, it can quickly turn into no work at all for weeks.

🐶 If you notice your dog coughing, please let me know.

Thank you for understanding and helping me keep all my lovely dogs safe! 🐾❤️

Amen

“Dog walking sounds like the easiest job in the world.”

Until you actually do it.

It’s the loneliness when you spend hours working on your own.

The mud, the mess, the rain, the freezing mornings and scorching days.

The physical strain, the injuries, the exhaustion that builds up over time.

The unpredictability of dog behaviour and the huge responsibility that comes with caring for someone else’s beloved pet.

It’s traffic.
It’s transport.
It’s vans breaking down.
It’s fuel, insurance, repairs and everything else that comes with keeping yourself on the road.

It’s juggling schedules, cancellations, early starts, late finishes and trying to make the numbers work when your income isn’t guaranteed.

And then there’s all the work nobody sees.

The messages.
The bookings.
The paperwork.
The planning.
The admin.
The constant organising behind the scenes.

It can mean sacrificing weekends, evenings, holidays and time with the people you love.

There’s emotional pressure, too. The worry when a dog is unwell. The guilt when something goes wrong. The stress of trying to keep every dog safe, happy and cared for while keeping a business running at the same time.

And eventually, there’s burnout.

So yes, from the outside, dog walking might look like getting paid to walk dogs all day.

But behind every happy, muddy, tired dog going home is a person carrying far more than a lead.

It’s physically demanding. It’s emotionally exhausting. It’s unpredictable. And sometimes, it’s really bloody hard.

But despite all of that… I genuinely wouldn’t have it any other way.

Because the muddy paws, wagging tails, ridiculous characters, little moments of trust and the bond you build with these dogs make every difficult day worth it.

I love this job.
I love the dogs.
And even on the days when it pushes me to my absolute limit, I wouldn’t swap it for anything. ❤️🐾

Treat anyone??? 😋
