How to choose a pet carer for your big day

Pet specialist, Catherine Smith tells us how you can choose the perfect per carer for your big day.

"Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding! We understand that pets are a huge part of the family, and it’s only natural that you would want them to be part of your wedding. The best way to choose your pet care is to see which businesses are recommended by your venue, as they often have a good working relationship with them. Once you have your recommended suppliers, see which ones are close to the property, have qualifications such as Pet First Aid, have good reviews and are fully insured. Venues often have groups on social media where you can ask previous wedding parties for their opinions.

"It’s never too early to book your suppliers, here at Thea’s Lakeland Walks we have taken bookings more than two years in advance, so you may find popular companies become fully booked for the peak seasons quite quickly.

"Budgets are important when it comes to planning a wedding. Ask if they can give you several quotes with lots of different options to help you plan the big day. This could include overnight boarding, assistance with your photographs and transport to other locations.

"Unfortunately, COVID-19 had caused a lot of issues and last-minute cancellations. Find a company who will do their absolute best to accommodate any changes and don’t charge for moving your date."
