What to know first
Explain mobility limitations, medication and the usual daily rhythm.
Write down your expectations and ask the professional to explain any details that are unclear.
What to check
Keep walks appropriate to comfort rather than following a fixed distance.
A short introductory conversation can reveal whether the arrangements suit your pet and your schedule.
Before you decide
Discuss changes in appetite, thirst, movement or behaviour with your vet.
Compare the complete service, not just its headline price. Keep a copy of what you both agree.
General educational information. Always check relevant local rules and ask your vet about animal health concerns.
