Midsomer Mutts help Elderly Lady

ATTENTION DOG OWNERS!

We all know how important our dogs are to us, they provide endless comfort and companionship, especially in our later years.

Our older readers, in particular, will know how much joy our dogs bring to our lives, but they will also know that getting out of the house so their furry friends can enjoy walks can be a struggle. One elderly resident found this out all too well after breaking her leg and being unable to walk her excitable young dog, Betty. When she was unable to get help from other local organisations, she turned to Midsomer Mutts, a Midsomer Norton based dog walking, boarding and training service.

Sarah, from Midsomer Mutts, explained: “We’ve recently been providing free of charge dog walks to a local elderly resident who lives alone and broke her leg, which meant she wasn’t able to get out and about. She has a very energetic and gorgeous young Lab called Betty who needs at least an hour’s exercise every day, she was really stranded, so we stepped in to help!”

After spending time walking Betty and seeing how much of a help it was to her owner, the team at Midsomer Mutts are now looking to extend their dog walking service free of charge to elderly residents in need. If you feel like you, or someone you know, is struggling to keep up with the amount of exercise your beloved dog needs, get in touch with Midsomer Mutts via their website to see how they can help you.

If you’re new to the area or are looking for inspiration for more places to explore with your dog, keep your eyes peeled – after their successful Guided Dog Walk in December, Midsomer Mutts is looking to host more free walks around the area in the coming months. Details will be available on their website shortly.
