News & Updates
We had a little extra time due to a cancellation today so we used this to pop into the pet store a pick a birthday treat for Barney today!
He picked a trio of cupcakes to share with his friend ๐
The group enjoying a good โsniffariโ
Letting them have time to sniff and browse has many benefits which include:
๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง:
Sniffing is brain exercise. Dogs have up to 300 million scent receptors (youโve got about 6 million), so every sniff is like them reading a novel, not just โsmelling grass.โ
๐๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐:
Nose work lowers cortisol (stress hormone). Sniffing helps them chill out instead of acting like little furry grenades of anxiety.
๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ข๐จ๐ซ:
Denying a dog sniffing is like taking someone to a library and telling them not to read. They need it.
๐๐ข๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ:
A โsniff walkโ can drain more energy than a brisk march around the block. Itโs like mental cardio. Itโs why our dogs at The Pet Happiness Centre go home tried and content.
๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ:
For nervous or reactive dogs, exploring scents builds confidence in a world thatโs way too big and noisy for them sometimes.
Itโs why we like to travel to interesting walking spots and are not about distance of the walks. For the gang itโs all about the quality, taking time to browse the environment.

Barney + Elvis = ultimate bromance.
They adore the whole crew, but when these two spot each other, itโs game over. Everyone else may as well go home.
Elvis had a rough start to the week (aka he missed a walkโฆ tragic). But today? Oh, today he scored a full K9 Day Adventure with his main man. Cue the zoomies, sniffies, and synchronised tail wags.
Because letโs be realโlife is just better when youโre road-tripping with your furry bestie. ๐พโค๏ธ๐ถ

Hot Weather Warning โ ๏ธ
Next week is looking to be a hot one, particularly the start of the week. Therefore we will be starting earlier and finishing earlier (where necessary) to avoid the hottest part of the day and keep all doggies happy and safe.
Comfort visits will be offered for later afternoon and for the less heat tolerant dogs.
For now here is Barney, Milo and Loganโs AI boys day out photo for entertainment purposes.
Keep cool and see the gang next week!

Wowza that was a hot day!!
All the doggies that needed a visit and comfort break have been seen and thank you to you wonderful bunch of clients who offered drinks while I was on my visitsโฆ..hydration stations were certainly appreciated.
Hopefully we can resume normal services tomorrow as I know the dogs missed their walkies/day out with the gang.
See the gang tomorrow ๐ถ
