HOW IT WORKS
Tell Us About Your Dog
Send us a message or give us a call and tell us all about your dog and what it is that you need, we can then talk you through the services we provide and which we think will be the best fit.
Arrange a Meet & Greet
After you have been in touch we can arrange a free meet and greet so that we can meet your pup and more importantly you can meet us and ask any questions you may have.
"Walkies!"
After we've met and you are happy to go forward we will book your dog's first walk. We will come and collect your dog from home and drop them home after they have had a great walk.
Updates
We like to keep you updated on your dog's day. So we will send you any photos or videos of your pup at the end of the day. If you have any problems in the meantime dont hesitate to call.
WHY CHOOSE US?
HEALTH
As well as us, your dog needs regular exercise to live long, healthy and happy lives. According to a recent report by Burgess Pet Care, 51% of pets in the UK are obese.Many dogs will acquire specific health problems in their lifetime that could easily be prevented or diminished with proper exercise. One of the absolute best ways to keep your dog healthy is to provide 3 or more 20+ minute walks per day. We like to assess each dog that joins Dog & Bone for their individual health needs to make sure they are the happiest they can be.
SOCIALISATION
Walking not only gets your dog the exercise they need, but also stimulates their senses. Your dog gets to see, smell, feel and hear all types of interesting things when out for a walk. This stimulation often includes meeting other people or animals, which can be an excellent way to encourage socialisation. As humans, we often take for granted these brief encounters and we can easily forget that these are frequently the highlights of our pet's day. Our group walks are perfect way to make sure your dog is fulfils all their social and stimulation needs.
BEHAVIOUR
Simply put, a tired dog is a good dog. Regular walking helps to release excess energy in your pup, resulting in calmer behaviour at home. With frequent, lengthy walks, your dog will be less inclined to bark, chew, bite, use the bathroom indoors, etc.
Our walks can also improve on your dogs behaviour in the car, as they become used to travelling on a daily basis in the car to and from the park, they become more at ease with this, making your own trips with your dog just that bit easier.
PEACE OF MIND
Hiring a dog walker gives you the peace of mind that your dog is well taken care of, even when you aren't at home. With a daily dog walker, you don't have to worry as much if you need to stay late for work, or if your dog didn't go to the toilet when you took them out in the morning. The knowledge that your dog will get quality time outdoors during the day also helps relieve the guilt or stress held by leaving your dog at home alone. You can feel confident that you are doing the best you can for your pup, and that your dog is living a rewarding, happy life.
TIME
We all live busy lives, and every minute counts; sometimes, consistent lengthy walks are difficult to fit into our schedules. We often wake up extra early, head home for our lunch hours, and delay making dinner in an effort to make sure our dogs get the care they need. With a regular dog walker, your dog still gets all of the exercise and attention they deserve, while you get back a great deal of time. Everybody wins!
There are many other reasons to hire a professional dog walker, but by now, the benefits should be clear. Dog & Bone makes hiring a professional dog walker simple with our quality service, friendly dog walkers and new packages.
We'd love to help you and your dog get the benefits a professional dog walker provides. Send us a message or give us a call to see just how easy it can be.
