CFSG worked with the Pet Industry Federation and pet walking businesses to put together some clear guidance for professional dog walkers. This guidance comes as a result of issues around bad practice, dog attacks and welfare concerns linked to dog walkers and aims to make clear the professionalism needed by commercial dog walkers. It was checked by professional dog walkers and welfarists and CFSG believes that both those wanting to offers services and those seeking services should ensure the standards within this document are met for both the safety of their pets but also the wider public.
