Rules & Information
Meals and Snacks
As a full service pet care provider, we are also able to provide your pet with home-cooked meals or snack packages while you are at work, on vacation, or just need a break. Pricing varies by pet size and age. Please call for a quote to add this on to your service.
Dogs with Behavioural Issues
We do understand that the COVID-19 pandemic lead to a rush of dogs who were not able to be exposed to as many sights, sounds, people and other furry companions as in years prior. That is why we understand that anxious companions just need a little more time and love, and a little more praise when even small progress is made. We are willing to accept dogs with behavioural issues as long as they are clearly disclosed up front so as to come up with a plan that keeps everyone safe.
Walking tools for large and x-large dogs:
All dogs over the weight limit of 60 pounds are required to walk with a no-pull harness, gentle leader, haltee, or other pulling deterrent until a handler advises this is no longer required. This is done for the safety of both our experienced walkers and our furry clientele.
Exceptions will be made for dogs who already have excellent leash manners. Dogs may graduate to normal collar walks.
Payments
Your promt payment is always appreciated. The methods of payment currently accepted are E-Transfer or cash.
Pawsitively Radiant Dogs reserves the right to refuse future service if payment is outstanding.
Severe and Extreme Weather
Thunder, Lightening, strong winds, heavy snow or rainfall, heat or cold warnings and or other extreme weather events may affect your dog's service or excursion. If your pet is signed up for an outdoor excursion, we will re-book or refund the service. We will provide rigorous play sessions in the backyard, in the house or even a car ride.
We carry water for your pet at all times.
Please ensure your pet is appropriately dressed for cold weather conditions (eg: coats for short or single coated dogs, seniors and puppies. Booties or paw balm if your furry friend has sensitive paws).
In a severe weather situation, we will accept cancellation of visit with reasonable prior notice.

A Note on Small Dogs
We do not believe that only big dogs are “real dogs”. In fact, the difference in how we as owners treat small dogs is often the cause of “small dog syndrome”. When small breeds are treated with the same agency and firm boundaries as large breeds, behavioural problems are often resolved.
