A walk gives your dog the chance to go to the toilet and get some fresh air, exercise and mental stimulation. The solo nature of my walks ensures that your canine companion will get 100% of my attention, which is useful for dogs with behavioural issues, or who like a nice quiet walk by themselves. Safety is also increased during individual walks compared to group walks, as the walker can act more quickly and easily in the event of an emergency, and fights are less likely to occur between dogs.

Dogs require frequent exercise regardless of breed or age, but the form that this takes and for how long will vary between dogs. This service is most popular for people who work during the day and want their dog to get out of the house for a while, have a potty break, and burn off some steam. As they say, ‘a tired dog is a good dog’, so a walk will help them be calmer, more receptive to training, less likely to be destructive in the house, and they will generally be happier and healthier for it. I will also accommodate household pairs of dogs.

Nail care is important for our pets' overall health and wellbeing. Keeping claws at an appropriate length ensures animals can perform their natural behaviours and avoid discomfort. This is particularly true for indoor cats and elderly pets who need a little extra help. I am more than happy to give your pet a pedicure, regardless of their species!

When allowed to become overgrown, claws can curl into paw pads, becoming very painful and even infected. Long nails can also lead to difficulty walking, change the way your pet distributes their body weight, and can make health issues like arthritis even worse. Pain may also have an impact on your pet’s behaviour, such as how tolerant they are of handling, aggression when the painful area is touched, and changes in appetite. You wouldn’t feel so hot if you were hurting either! Keeping your pet’s nails trimmed may also help reduce damage to your skin, furniture, and flooring.

Our pets’ ears require regular inspection and cleaning to keep them healthy and free of debris. This is an area of care which is often overlooked. I will gladly clean your pet’s ears for you. It is very important to regularly inspect your pet’s ears for excessive wax, discharge, foul odours, and redness/inflammation. These signs can indicate the presence of infection or parasites such as ear mites, so it is vital that we are there for our furry friends and help them out by keeping their ears clean.

Did you know that dog breeds with very hairy, floppy or long ears are more prone to ear infections? This is because it is more difficult for air to circulate into the ears, trapping moisture and warmth for bacteria and yeasts to grow. This can be particularly true if your dog has regular baths or enjoys swimming, as it can be a little harder for the ears to dry out properly.
