To ensure that we provide outstanding levels of care at all times, that your pets are happy, safe, having fun and being looked after to the highest standards provided by professional animal carers. Our priority is your pet's welfare above anything else and we're proud of the outstanding reputation we have aquired for the excellent levels of care we provide.

You will have a consultation with our director Catherine, who will discuss your requirements over the telephone. Following this conversation, Catherine will book a mutually agreed time to come and visit you and your pet at your home which will be at no cost to you. During this visit, she will discuss your pets personality, quirks, needs and requirements as well as yours. Once you decide to proceed with Pet Trails, we will ask you to complete relevent documents in line with GDPR regulations.

We look after all animals. We have dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, giant snails, reptiles, guinea pigs, frogs, chinchillas and many more in our Pet Trails animal community!

Our social walk consists of carefully selected pooches, who have all had their temperaments and personalities matched to the most appropriate personality mix of other dogs. This ensures all group walks are nicely balanced and are a safe and enjoyable experience for all our dogs. This is an imperative part of Pet Trails ethos, to ensure all dogs are truly happy with their chums!

Recent evidence shows that there is no proof that the virus responsible for COVID-19 can be passed from dogs to humans. Covid-19's main source of infection is human-to-human transmission and there is no current evidence to suggest your dog poses any significant risk to your health. However, whilst extremely low risk, there is some evidence to show that the virus could be passed from person to person, via a dog’s fur, collar, lead, toys or food. Pet Trails adheres to all current goverment guidelines and we are happy to discuss any requirements you have relating to this.

If so please feel free to contact us on 07880 887 068 or admin@pettrails.co.uk
