Why choose Animal Instincts?
I am a flexible and reliable solo walker, providing year round services.
* My personal aim is to provide the best unique service possible for you and your pet/s.
* I am fully insured with Protectivity, Pet First Aid trained and DBS Checked.
* You can follow Animal Instincts on Instagram and Facebook to see what your pets are getting up to!
How many dogs do you walk at once?
* There will only be a maximum of 5 dogs per group walk, giving each individual the attention they need.
Where do you walk?
* Animal Instincts tries to vary our walks as much as possible for your dogs, whether in woodlands, moorlands or fields all around the local area.
* I try to find walks where the dogs can run and play off the lead, however this will only be done once a relationship has been built and with the permission of the owner.
What can I expect from Animal Instincts Dog Walking Services?
* Individual attention during each walk.
* A great chance to reap the benefits of socialising and playing with other dogs.
* Drying off and wiping of dirty paws and fur before entering the house.
* A variety of locations and environments to provide mental stimulation on each outing.
* Animal Instincts will reinforce any training you are working on with your dog using positive techniques.
Do you walk on weekends?
* Animal Instincts does not hold walks on the weekend as standard, therefore, if a weekend walk is requested by a client a £5 surcharge is added to the original walk price.
What happens at the free consultation?
* At the free consultation you will have the opportunity to meet with me and ask all the questions you may have, along with discussing your specific pet care requirements. Also the Animal Instincts terms and conditions and payment options will be discussed, following this a written contract will be agreed upon.
What are Animal Instincts requirements to walk my dog?
* Each dog needs to be micro-chipped, fully updated with vaccinations and registered with a local veterinarians clinic.
* Provision of your own adequate collars (with name tag) and leads, although I have spares if deemed inadequate.
* For my services to run smoothly I need full honesty between myself and you the owner, any dogs that are aggressive to humans or animals cannot join my group walks and will need a specialised solo service.
*Animal Instincts will refuse to use a collar or lead if they are: ill fitting or damaged; flexi leads or bulky leads and choke, pronged or shock collars.
What if my pet has special requirements or disabilities?
* During the free consultation we will discuss the specific requirement or disability and work out the best possible service that I can provide for your pet.
My pet needs to go to the vet. Can you take them?
* Absolutely! Animal Instincts can arrange transportation for your pet for any occasion.
Do you have experience with rare or exotic pets?
* My experience with rare or exotic pets is limited, but I'm a keen and quick learner. So, during the free consultation, we can discuss your requirements and I will always put your pet's needs first.
How do you accept payment?
* Payment can either be accepted as cash or bank transfer.
Can I easily book and/or cancel my required services?
* Yes, Animal Instincts prides itself on being flexible for the owners.
