Dog Squad Perthshire

Name a better 'job'. 🙂

Thursday's 🐾

What a glorious couple of days! ☀️
River swims, garden plays, shaded woodland walks, and the fields are starting to get harvested so we can get in them now - my favourite!

Worth a share…………

🐶USE US. DON’T LOSE US.🐶

One thing we’d love more pet owners to understand during a heatwave is this.

When we cancel because of extreme temperatures, we’re not having a day off.

We’re losing income.

Most professional pet carers are self-employed. We don’t receive holiday pay, sick pay or a guaranteed salary at the end of the month. If we don’t work, we don’t get paid.

Every cancelled walk, training session or visit has a financial impact.

And this isn’t just one hot afternoon.

Many of us are now dealing with repeated heatwaves and some of the hottest, longest periods of extreme heat we’ve experienced in our working lives. Week after week, bookings are cancelled, diaries are rearranged and income falls, while our mortgages, rent, insurance, vehicle costs and business bills remain exactly the same.

Despite that, we’ll continue to make the same decision every time.

Because our first responsibility is the welfare of the animals in our care.

A postponed walk can be rearranged.

Heatstroke doesn’t always give your dog a second chance.

So, if your usual service isn’t safe, please don’t assume we can’t help.

Instead of cancelling altogether, ask whether your booking can be adapted.

That might mean:
• A home welfare visit
• Toilet breaks
• Feeding and companionship
• Garden enrichment and play
• Medication administration
• An early morning or late evening walk where conditions are safe

You’ll still receive professional care.

Your pet stays safe.

And you’ll be helping a local small business survive another week of extreme weather.

Use us. Don’t lose us.

The service may look different for a few days, but our commitment to your pet never changes.

Thank you to every client who understands that responsible pet care sometimes means changing the plan, not abandoning it.

Excited to see all the doggies again after my time off! 😄 It looks like we're in for a lovely sunny week too. ☀️
I'll see the first group walk tomorrow in the late morning. 🐾

A reminder that some payments are still outstanding. Thank you.

What a fun 5 weeks! I learnt as much as my Vinnie loves a ball, he definitely likes treats better 😆
Our Pippin did fantastic too 🐾🐾

What a fantastic way to wrap up our 5-week introduction course this Saturday! 🐾💚

Our newbies have been absolutely incredible!

⚡ Vinnie was showing off his speed and truly “putting the Fly in Flyball”! Looks like we’ve got another bucket dog joining the team!

💖 Bella wowed us with the confidence she’s built over the course—we can’t wait to see her really shine in the weeks ahead!

🌹 Rosie and Pippin finished their 5 weeks on a high, successfully bringing everything together and even giving team runs a go!

We couldn’t be prouder of them all and are so excited to see what’s next for each of these amazing dogs.💚

The dogs have done their bit, now it’s time to get the owners involved! Ready to jump in, assist, and become part of the team! 💪💚

Happy Friday! 😄

Thats me now off on my holidays. I will be back to work on 13th July. See you all then 🐾🐕

Always the best time at Airntully Dog Park 🐾 🐕

Wagging tails all around! 🐾
