MixyPaws Safety Protocols: Ensuring Your Dog’s Well-Being
At MixyPaws, the safety and happiness of your furry companions are our top priorities. We maintain rigorous safety standards and use top-of-the-line equipment to guarantee secure and enjoyable walks for every dog. Here's how we distinguish ourselves:
Dog Walk Safety Protocols:
Tailored Walk Options: Choose between private walks or small group walks for your dog. Our group walks are limited to 2-3 dogs, carefully selected for compatibility, and overseen by a manager during introductions to ensure a seamless experience. This personalized approach allows us to provide individual attention, ensuring each dog's walk is fulfilling and enjoyable.
Leash Policy: We strictly adhere to a policy of keeping all dogs securely leashed during walks, with no off-leash play permitted. This ensures the safety and control of every dog under our care at all times.
Supervision: Dogs are never left unattended during walks. During group outings, we bring all dogs indoors to ensure constant supervision and safety.
Management Oversight: Our office and field managers are readily available to our walkers, offering immediate support in case of emergencies. Your pet's safety remains our foremost concern, with assistance just a phone call away.
Treat Policy: To prioritize your pet's health and safety, our walkers exclusively offer treats provided by you, the owner. We do not carry our own treats and strictly prohibit pets from consuming treats from external sources during walks.
Dog Walk Equipment:
Professional Gear: Our team utilizes professional dog walking belts, securely fastened around the waist and attached to the leash with a locking carabiner. This setup ensures optimal security and control, with walkers required to maintain two hands on the leash at all times.
Safety Clips: For added security, our safety clips connect your dog’s regular collar to their walking equipment, providing a backup connection in case of gear failure.
Quality Leashes: We prioritize the use of durable, high-quality leashes provided by our clients, avoiding retractable leashes due to safety concerns.
Weather Adaptation: If your pet requires specific gear for varying weather conditions, such as raincoats or booties, we ensure their use as needed, with detailed instructions stored in your pet's profile for reference.
Regular Maintenance: We conduct frequent inspections and maintenance of all our safety gear to uphold our commitment to safety and reliability.
