Q: Does the service include bathing or grooming?
A: No, OMD focuses on walks and exercise. If you need bathing or grooming, we recommend trusted partners in the area (local baths and groomers).
Q: What if my dog has special needs or is aggressive?
A: Dogs with a history of aggression or severe anxiety require a prior assessment. We recommend an initial detailed conversation or even a meeting to ensure safety.
Q: How long does it take to get home if the dog has an emergency?
A: In case of an emergency (injured or sick dog, etc.), contact your veterinarian immediately. The dog walker will contact you as soon as possible, but the dog's safety is the priority.
Q: Can I change packages in the middle of the month?
A: Yes, changes can be arranged, but at least 7 days in advance to organize the schedule.
Q: What if my dog doesn't like the dog walker?
A: It's rare, but it can happen. The first few weeks are a period of adjustment; if it still doesn't work out, we can discuss alternatives or cancel without penalty after evaluation.
Q: Do you use a collar or harness?
A: Depending on the dog's profile (age, behavior, strength), it can be a collar or harness. It is best to discuss this on the registration form.
Q: What if it rains heavily or snows?
A: Walks take place in normal rain; in heavy storms, we will contact you to reschedule. Snow is rare in Cascais, but it would be similar.
