At Cats, Dogs & Peace of Mind (CDPOM for short!) we have been
walking dogs throughout London since 1999.
We promise owners that, unless specifically requested otherwise, their
dogs will be walked separately. The reason we guarantee that our professional,
insured and security-vetted carers do not walk more than one owner’s dogs at a
time, unless we are asked to give a dog more socialisation or other training,
is because we believe walking too many dogs at a time does not give each dog
the attention and exercise they need, deserve and/or want.
For so many people their dogs are their children, and they want them to
have fun and plenty of exercise rather than being left cooped up in the home
all day. Meeting other dogs on a walk is part of the pleasure they get from a
visit from a CDPOM carer.
Our policy doesn’t mean that we won’t walk one owner’s two or three dogs
together - they are probably used to each other and usually will run together
off the lead anyway.
Anyway, dogs are very social animals and enjoy being with someone, so
Cats, Dogs & Peace of Mind carers seek to give each dog as much of a treat
as they can, in the absence of their loving owner. All our dog-walking carers
are devoted dog lovers and ensure the dogs in their charge are professionally
looked after.
We DO NOT cart bunches of dogs in the back of a car or van at one time,
which can mean that some animals transported in this way spend over an hour in
the back of a vehicle before they reach fresh air and exercise.
