If you’re looking for reliable dog walking in Lethbridge, you’re not alone. Between busy work and life schedules, unpredictable weather, and our famous Southern Alberta wind, many pet parents are turning to professional dog walkers for help.

Getting a good photo of my dogs together is not easy. When one is sitting nicely and looking at the camera, the other is bouncing around like he has ants in his pants. I have always wanted a quality photo of Murphy and Oscar together, but I was apprehensive to get their portrait done professionally. I thought it would be difficult to get them to cooperate with a photographer. Luckily, we know the perfect Pet Photographer for the task: Link to Facebook Page The photoshoot

I started my dog walking and pet sitting business a little over four months ago. I traded in working a desk job with a steady income, benefits, and scheduled vacations for doing something I am passionate about. Since starting my business in March, I find I wake up earlier than I used to. I am happier than I ever was before, and now I like going to work! I am always in a good mood when pet sitting, and walking, my four legged friends. I enjoy meeting pet owners and talking

There is a lot of controversy over how to remove a tick safely from your pet and yourselves. Do you twist? Use Vasoline? Matches? The answer is NO to all of these suggestions. Steps to Remove a Tick: Here is the proper technique, according to Alberta Health: 1. Using tweezers, gently grasp its head and mouth parts as close to your skin as possible. 2. Without squeezing the tick, slowly pull the tick straight up off the skin – do not jerk or twist it. 3. Do not a

Do coyotes really lure dogs to kill them? I never believed this theory. I have had a few encounters with my dogs and coyotes. My first encounter was back in Peterborough, Ontario when I was living on a farm while going to school. I was walking my medium-large Pitbull Shepherd mix around the field when I saw a scraggly looking coyote on the other side of the field. Unfortunately, my dog saw him at the same time. My dog was a wildlife chaser, so when he caught sight of t

I am worried that my best buddy, my dog Murphy, will be bitten by a Prairie Rattlesnake. I love dogs and want them to be happy and healthy. I love snakes, and want them to live in peace here in Lethbridge. How can we co-exist with the Prairie Rattlesnakes in Lethbridge, but also enjoy the coulees ​​ourselves to run our dogs. I learned how we can have both, at the “Living with Snakes” presentation hosted by Ken Moore and Ryan Heavy Head. The population of Prairie Rattlesn

I am an over protective pet owner. I want my animals travelling in a clean vehicle, that is easy to get in and out of. A vehicle that is fully upholstered is not ideal, because it can get soiled and fragrant. If the vehicle smells bad, the occupants might become smelly too! Pets who are unrestrained in a vehicle is unsafe. A dog free to move onto your lap, or around the vehicle is very distracting and can lead to an accident. I chose a Ford Ranger for Lethbridge Dog Walk

Many of us go through life working at a job that doesn't make us happy. If you are going to be doing a job for 40 hours a week, wouldn't it be nice if you enjoyed it. At the beginning of this year, I hung up my keyboard and started my own company; Lethbridge Dog Walking. I offer dog walking and pet sitting services. This is not everyone's dream job, but it is mine. I get to do what I have always wanted to do. Rewind to when I was younger. From a young age, I was pet obse

Know the signs: You are enjoying a spring walk when, BAM, you step in it: dog crap. You double check your treads and find that yes, you did step in it, and it was a fresh one. You wipe it on the grass; scrap it on the curb, dip it in puddles, but nothing works. Once it is on your shoe, it is impossible to get off. For the rest of that shoes life, you will look at it, and wonder; could I have done more? Why is there so much crap left on the ground? Pet owners are legall

Nothing makes me laugh more than a dog who is completely engaged in life. Dog "happy dances" are one of my favorite things. They live in the moment. Here is one of their sillier moments:

I find myself obsessing over which toys and chews I should give to my dog. Through trial and error I have found the toys that work, and the toys that do not. Here is a synopsis of what I have found. I am always looking for new toys and chews to add to this list, so I will keep you updated with future finds. The Good Chuckit! Balls My all time favorite dog toy is the Chuckit! balls. My dog is unable to destroy these (with the exception of the ones with a squeaker in it
