When families get a new puppy its an exciting time while the puppy starts life away from his or her littermates and it can take a week or two to settle in. In the perfect world we could all stay home all day with young puppies but the reality is most families have work and school during the day and it can be difficult to travel home from work at lunchtime.
If you are not able to come home at lunchtime to check on the puppy we provide a low cost puppy visit service where we come to your home during the middle of the day and can check on your puppy give them their midday feed, attention and if housed inside while you are away take them outside for a short time in the back yard.
Once clear of vaccinations the puppy visit can include a short walk (incl short basic training session – sit, drop, stand etc as you would be learning at puppy obedience classes each week which is recommended to be practiced in brief sessions at home between classes).
Puppy visit only – $15
Puppy visit incl short walk/training – $25
Older dogs
At the other end of the scale often when pets get older they start to have other issues such as unable to ‘hold on’ if inside on hot or cold days and need an ‘outside’ break during the day. Or you may just feel more at ease if your old dog is starting to have mobility issues and can get themselves ‘stuck’ on slippery floors and just need a hand to get back on carpet, bedding etc. As with the young puppies mentioned about we offer a service to just check in on older dogs for a low cost for your peace of mind. Includes feeding/incontinence clean up as required.
Older dog visit only – $15
