Personal
visit
Before we start looking after your pets,
we'll arrange a personal visit with you so you can meet us face to face and we can meet your pets and you can talk
through your requirements.
We understand you have hectic schedules, so we are very flexible about the
times we can arrange this visit to fit in easily with your diary.
Pet diary
When we are caring for your pets, we will complete a pet diary to keep you up to date
with what your pets have been up to while you were away. This is a great way for you to feel involved, especially if
you're working long hours and your dog had a fun day out in the park. The pet diary is available online, so if you're on holiday or at work simply log onto the internet and you will see pictures
of your pet and read what he or she got up to.
It's the little things that count
What sets Walk the Dog™
apart from all the rest is our knowledge and expertise in animal care, management, behaviour and first aid. We provide clients
with regular newsletters, full of training hints and tips, game and recipe ideas, plus details of all our latest

books on animal care, management and behaviour. We send regular advice out to clients on how to deal with extreme weather
conditions to ensuring your pet stays safe at Christmas. We hold regular local events for our clients and hold national
