Carica Pets Dog Walking Module

More and more Dog Walking businesses are choosing Carica Pets as the software of choice to manage their dog walking bookings.  We asked a few of them for tips on the do's and don'ts of dog walking and we have produced this list of 4 points for you.


Type of Walk

Different dogs like different walks so try to consider this when taking them for their walkies.  An older dog for example will be less suited for an energetic adventure on the beach whereas a young puppy will be overjoyed with the space and exploring opportunities to be had when running along the beach.  

On the Carica Pets website you can set up different types of walks with different durations so you can easily pick a walk and duration that is ideal for each dog.


Body Language

Probably one of the most important things to look out for when taking a dog for a walk is their body language.  If a dog is feeling under the weather then their body language will be different to when they are in good health and excited to go for their walk.  Understand each dogs body language to understand the length of the walk and the type of walk to undertake.


Panting and Tiredness

When a dog goes for a walk they often tend to pant from the very start of the walk; sometimes the panting can start before you have put your shoes on and attached the lead to their collar.  This is a sign the dog is excited about the forthcoming walk.  Make a note of how much panting the dog is doing and their tiredness levels and if it becomes excessive then this may be a sign to turn back home.

The Carica Pets Dog Walking module lets you record panting patterns for the dogs so that you know when panting is their normal panting or excessive. 


Social Relationships

If you take multiple dogs for a walk at the same time then its important you understand how these dogs get on together.  You don't want to walk dogs together that have had fights previously.

The Carica Pets Dog Walking module lets you record social relationships between dogs and will flag when conflicts may arise.
