Terms and Conditions May 2023

• All dogs and other animals must be registered with Doggy Dawdles.  Consultation and paperwork needs to be filled out and signed by ALL parties before bookings can be made for any service.
• We will seek to accommodate all dogs on our walks and within other services, however we hold the right to cancel any dogs who we deem not suitable due to whatever reason.  We hold the right to change dogs from group sessions to solo walks, where possible, with the additional compensation due, in light of any behavioural issues that can be managed 1 to 1 – dog aggression, in season bitches, etc. Please note that this may not be possible due to walkers other commitments.
• All dogs/animals will be met at the consultation (meet and greet) and will be assessed for the best services for them.
• Written consent is required if you would like your dog to be walked off the lead (On Pet Info Sheet and in the Contracts) which will also note recall. Dogs do NOT get off lead without a good, tried and tested, recall.
• All dogs accepted must have an up-to-date vaccination certificate including kennel cough (With proof provided, and updated yearly for my records) – Titre test results will be considered.
  • Owners must notify Doggy Dawdles of any dogs that are unwell for ANY reason and will be assessed for appropriateness of attending walks or needing to be excused for a period of time.
  • We do NOT walk dogs with contagious illnesses such as Kennel Cough or Dogs in heat/pregnant.

• In the unlikely event of your dog being involved in an accident or in an emergency, Doggy Dawdles will take your dog to Your Named vet if close by or the closest vet possible.
• Puppies from 5 months are welcome – please discuss this with your vet.  We recommend a 5 minute walk per month of age but can take your puppy for full time of visit/walk which is mostly sniffing and socialisation more than getting any distance of a walk.
