Frequently asked questions

At Dotty about Dogs, we believe in providing exceptional care for your furry family members. Our family-run business specialises in small group walks, ensuring every adventure is full of new sniffs, exciting experiences, and lots of fun. We're also expanding to offer home boarding, providing a home-from-home environment where your dog will be treated like our own.

Where do you take the dogs for walks?
Every walk is an adventure! We explore various local trails, parks, and open spaces around Treharris, ensuring a variety of sniffs, sights, and sounds. We always choose locations appropriate for the group's size and energy levels, providing a stimulating and fun experience.

What makes your service different?
As a family-run business, we offer a truly personalised and loving approach. We treat every dog as if they were our own, focusing on small groups for quality interactions, exciting adventures, and genuine care. Our upcoming home boarding service will extend this dedication to a warm, home-from-home environment.

What should I bring for home boarding?
For home boarding, please bring your dog's usual food, any medications they require, their lead, collar/harness, and their bed or a blanket with their scent on it. This helps them feel more settled and comfortable in our home.

How do you ensure my dog's safety?
Your dog's safety is paramount. We are fully insured, first-aid trained, and carry all necessary safety equipment. We conduct thorough consultations to understand each dog's temperament and needs, ensuring compatible groups for walks and a secure home environment for boarding.

What are your dog walking group sizes?
We specialise in small group walks to ensure individual attention and a safe, enjoyable experience for every dog. This allows for better supervision and a more personalised adventure.

Are the dogs walked on or off lead?
Safety is our top priority. Dogs will be walked on lead in public areas and areas where it's legally required. Off-lead time is only permitted in secure, approved locations with owner consent and after a thorough assessment of your dog's recall and socialisation skills. We always prioritise the safety of your dog and others.

What is home boarding like?
Our home boarding service provides a genuine home-from-home experience. Your dog will live with us as part of our family, receiving constant companionship, comfort, and care in a loving environment. We aim to keep their routine as close to yours as possible.

How do I book your services?
You can easily book our services by contacting us via phone at [[phonenumber]] or email at [[email]]. We'll arrange a consultation to discuss your dog's needs and find the best service for you.
