What would you like to know?
Help and
Faqs
What are the expectations if my pet is excitable, nervous, boisterous?
The important thing is to consider the welfare of your dog.Ask yourself do they have the right temperament to cope with your celebrations.Weddings are stressful for humans so your dog might have heightened anxieties too. We will, of course, discuss with you of ways in which you care for your pet, and what are your pet’s strengths ie do they sit, or how they respond to commands (or not!).
There is the saying ‘never work with animals’ and there is a reason that things do not a lways go to plan! This may be more about your expectations! For example, your dog may not wish to glide down the aisle with your rings, but we will be there to catch them the other end!
This goes for photographs too, it may be that your dog will only wish for a couple of photos before he/she is off to find something more exciting, so we will discuss with your photographer beforehand.
Why do you not recommend my dog attends the reception?
We often find it’s a long day for your dog after attending the wedding, having photos, and receptions can be overwhelming, so we offer to take your pet home for some well-deserved treats and rest.
Can I dress my dog in wedding attire?
Yes of course! But we generally leave this to you to source – after all you know your dog’s style.
Some of our guests do not like dogs, what should we do?
Not everyone likes dogs, or they might have allergies. Just let us know which guests to avoid if they are worried.

Yes of course! Let us know if you have a preferred kennels, or we can make recommendations.
We have more than one dog, can you still provide your dog chaperone service?
Yes of course, we love dogs! This will be an additional fee.
Can you recommend dog friendly wedding venues?
Yes we can if you are looking for an indoor ceremony. Its important to find the right venue that truly are dog lovers!

What does Dog Chaperone mean?
We know dogs are part of the family, which is why many couples want their dog or dogs to be with them on their wedding day. We support that to happen. We can be your dog or dogs chaperone at the wedding ceremony and wedding photos. Think of us as your dog's plus one!
Some couples have a dog that will readily walk down the aisle carrying the wedding rings - this is known as a ring bearer. We help the dog to do this.
Or some dogs we help to be the VIP guest greeter, so we help them to be the meet and greet furry host ready as your guests walk into the wedding ceremony.
Another option which is ideal for those dogs who cant cope with walking down the aisle, but want to be part of the wedding service, is we sit with the dog or dogs as honorary guest.
We also offer other services such as pet sitting so couples enjoy the wedding reception, leaving us to care for the dog or dogs.

You let us know if your dog has any behaviour concerns, so we are fully alert, can respond appropriately and consider if we need more than one team member.
You let us know if your dog has any health concerns, so we are fully alert. And if your dog requires urgent medical assistance during our care beyond our pet first aid skills, then we will organise vet care, so rest assured their welfare is our priority.
