By Prioritising 'Regular Walkies'
You're Keeping your Dog Fit and Nurturing their Mental Health
Regular walkies with Mutt Strut and Sparkle offer far more than just a chance for your furry friend to relieve themselves. These walks can be imperative for maintaining your dog’s overall well-being.
Physical activity helps your dog maintain a healthy weight, strengthens its muscles and joints, and improves cardiovascular health. Moreover, the mental stimulation provided by new sights, sounds and smells during our dog walks is all-important for keeping their minds sharp and engaged.
Beyond the physical and mental benefits, regular, enjoyable walks can also significantly improve a dog’s behaviour. A well-exercised, happy dog is often calmer and less likely to exhibit destructive behaviours at home.
With our solo or two-household dog walking service, your fur babies receive our undivided attention. This has proved perfect for dogs who either prefer one-on-one interaction or to be walked with their known friend, and is especially beneficial for nervous and anxious dogs for whom group dog walks can be a frightening and overwhelming experience.
We cater for Small to Medium Sized Breeds
Solo Dog Walks
Two Dogs same Household
On-Lead Walks
Reasons why you may need:-
A Trusted Dog Walker
Dogs require daily walking. It's not something you can ever avoid. While some dogs need only one or two walks a day, others often require more, so it's vital to understand your dog's needs and plan how to meet them. Undoubtedly there will be times in life when this will be a challenge.
This is when Mutt Strut and Sparkle can help, we can take the pressure off you and ensure your dog gets its regular walks when you for whatever reason aren’t able to provide them.

"I am so pleased with the service received from Mutt Strut and Sparkle. It's fantastic to have found such a reliable and trustworthy company. Their dog walking service allows me to work two full days per week, knowing that Daisy, my Cockapoo, is well cared for. She absolutely loves her doggie walks with Donna."
