A full monitored complaint procedure.

More details

With the significant rise in dogs in the UK people are seeing dog walking and sitting as a quick way to earn big money, without being regulated.
There have been a number of issues both minor and major, including death of the animal, due to neglectful care.
All day care, boarders and kennels require a license, but there is a loophole for those who work in others properties and they do not require a license.
The UK is a big dog loving nation and we need to stand together to protect our animals.
