Your dog will be in contact with our dogs, other family dogs and the dogs that they meet whilst out on walks with us. It is your responsibility to ensure your pet is free of fleas. Our council licence requires that dogs are treated with a VMD approved product which means that sadly, homeopathic and herbal remedies are not acceptable.
If fleas are present, we shall treat your pet and charge you for any expense incurred on your return. In addition to the treatment for your pet, the expenses may also include the process of removing fleas from our home and vehicle.
Pack all the things that you would supply if you were leaving your dog with a friend or neighbour.
Key items are: food, treats, a clean bed or blanket that smells like home, leads and harnesses, a coat, a drying coat, a toy - and anything else to make your dog’s stay comfortable and familiar. We do not walk dogs on extending/retractable leads, so please make sure that you provide a regular lead.
Special dietary needs are not a problem. There is a freezer available should you wish to bring frozen food or raw meat for your dog's stay. We suggest that you provide instructions on what food or medication should be given and when, and talk this through with us at the introductory meeting or at drop off.
We are happy to purchase or provide anything that you might have forgotten, but please remember to reimburse us when you collect your dog.
We understand that dogs can behave differently when they are away from you and your home, and even the best behaved dogs can have a bad day!
We will do everything reasonably practicable to manage any situations that arise.
There are some situations however that require extra measures, and in such circumstances we will contact you or your emergency contact to talk about the problem.
If your dog becomes unwell whilst you are away, we will contact to discuss your dog’s condition. Your dog will be taken to your veterinary practice for treatment - providing it is local to our location. If your dog’s veterinary practice is too far, we will take them to our partner practice, Parker and Crowther, Formby. We will keep you updated on your dog’s progress as often as you require.
If we are unable to contact you we will use reasonable judgement about the situation, and talk things through with your emergency contact. We would make decisions in the same way as we would for our own dog, but we can only do this if you have told your vet who we are so, that they will allow us to step in temporarily.
Please note that it is your responsibility to settle or reimburse charges for any treatment or veterinary care when you collect your dog.
In worst case scenarios, if your dog is stressed or has an illness that can affect the other dogs, we will ask your emergency contact to collect your dog on your behalf. We do not take this decision lightly, so please bear with us while we work through the options available based on your dog's individual needs.
