Q: Why should I have my dog walked every day? Aren’t bathroom breaks good enough?.
A: Bathroom breaks are never enough for your dog. Just like you need to socialize and talk to your friends, your pet needs it too.
Q: How much time does my dog need to be outside and how many times a day?.
A: It really depends on your dog. A 30 minutes’ walk is the minimum recommendation. But before stipulating times, we will need assess your dog and have a conversation with you. This assessment takes about 1 hour and it includes a short walk to get to know your dog.
Q: Can my dog bring his favorite toy?.
A: No! As much as we would love your dog to have their favourite toy, we don’t want your dog or another dog to get into a fight because of a toy.
Q: Will you walk my dog in any season?.
A: Yes. We walk your dog in any season, but please keep in mind that weather conditions might shorten you dog walks and activities. Our priority is the safety of your dog.
Q: Will my dog come home as clean as when he was picked up?.

A: Absolutely! All dogs must be vaccinated and must have all their shots, and Flea and Tick Prevention updated.

A: Even though all our staff is Canine First Aid Certified we will contact you and/or your vet. In case we can’t contact anyone, we will take your dog to the nearest Veterinarian.
Q: How do I know if my dog was picked up at the proper time?.
A: We will provide a QR code, unique to your pet, that should be scanned during every pick up and drop off and an automatic email will be send to you.

A: All staff members should have a criminal record check updated every year.
