Safety and Security

The welfare of your dog is paramount to us at all times during the walks.  With the owners permission, most of our dogs are walked off lead.  We do have those who are walked on leads, they are generally kept on extending leads so they can still join in playing with the other dogs.  Sometimes we attach them to other dogs using couplings.  This way they can increase their exercise.  It also enables us to train them to improve their recall so hopefully they can one day be off lead......

We are competent first aiders and we carry first aid kits in all our vans. Obviously if you dog does hurt itself in our care and we feel it should be seen by a vet,  we will take your dog to your vet as soon as possible.  However if it is an emergency we will take it to the closest vet to where we are waking for treatment.

We do ask that you ensure that your dog is vaccinations are up to date including kennel cough.  This is for the protection of both your dog and the other dogs in our care.  We also advise worming and fleas treatments are done regularly.

We are insured with pet Business Insurance (policy no PBB0706024) with public liability and third party risk of £2,000,000.  Also care, custody and control extension which covers dogs in our care up to £5000. However we advise that each dog have its own pet insurance too.

All our dogs wear a Whistlers Identity Tag which says "I am walked by Whistlers" on one side and my mobile on the other. 

On rainy days we will dry off your dog and try to ensure that there are no muddy paw prints around the house !!!!!  We will also check that your pet has fresh water when we leave.
