DETAILS

PET SPECIFIC

All pets welcome

We do not, and never will, discriminate our care based on species, breed, age, special needs, or disabilities. If you can’t be there, we will.

MEDICATIONS

Medications can be administered on a visit if they are pill form, and you have pill pockets or another simple way for us to give them to your pet. We will not give medications in pill form that require us to place medications by hand directly into your pet’s mouth. We are also happy to medicate aquarium water with simple drops or spreads or medicate reptile water or food with drops or dustings.

LEASH AND COLLAR TYPES

For the safety of your pet, we do not allow retractable leashes. If your dog normally walks with a retractable leash, please have a second standard leash that is no longer than six feet long on hand for us to use. We understand that many dogs walk with a collar, and while we don’t make it a requirement, we strongly encourage and prefer to walk dogs on a harness, especially the little ones.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

We will visit or walk in any weather condition. For dog walking, we urge you to have a sweater or coat (we will happily put booties on as well) for when it is very cold, or we have inclement weather. On hot days, we will never walk your dog on any black pavement if the sun is still out. If the weather does not allow for your pet to have a full walk for the time booked in the case of severe snow or thunderstorms, we will make sure they are walked for their potty break and spend the rest of the time in your home playing with them.

VACCINATIONS

We understand health decisions you make for your pet are a personal choice and vaccines may or may not be right for your pet dependent on age, health conditions, or a multitude of other reasons. We only require dogs that will be utilizing our walking services to be up to date on vaccinations.

EXOTIC SPECIES DIETS

Many exotic pets have a varied diet, some of which may include live animals or insects depending on size and species. At Heidi’s Halo we are not afraid of bugs and will gladly give your pet their creepy crawly dinner. However, for the pets that require for example, live rodents, we will not be able to provide feeding visits out of an abundance of caution to not have an accidental release of the feed animal into your home.
