Pet Advocacy Statement Regarding Working Practices

The Professional Dog Walkers Association is a member based organisation who are committed to enhancing the standard of the professional dog walking industry in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland by advocating for the use of ethical, kind methods and equipment, continuous professional development and consumer protection.

We believe the industry needs regulation, adherence to policy and best practice; and we are proactive from within to ensure that the welfare and safety of the animals in our members' care and their clients' needs are met in the kindest and most professional way.
