Frequently Asked Questions
Can my dog be part of the ceremony?
Absolutely! Whether your dog is walking down the aisle, serving as a ring bearer, posing for photos, or greeting guests during the reception. We’ll coordinate everything to ensure it runs smoothly.
What if my dog gets nervous or overwhelmed?
Your dog’s wellbeing is our top priority. We monitor stress signals and provide breaks, water, quiet time and reassurance as needed. If your dog prefers a shorter appearance, we’ll adjust the schedule accordingly.
Do you stay for the entire wedding?
It depends on the package you choose. Some couples prefer coverage for ceremony and photos only, while others request extended care. We customise services to fit your timeline.
What types of dogs do you work with?
As a qualified veterinary nurse, I work confidently with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and medical backgrounds. From playful puppies to senior dogs and those with ongoing health conditions.
Do you help with wedding attire for dogs?
Yes! We can assist with fitting outfits, attaching florals, securing bow ties and making sure your dog looks (and feels) their best.
What happens after the ceremony?
We can:
- Stay for photos
- Supervise during cocktail hour
- Return your dog home
- Provide overnight care (if requested)
You choose what works best for your celebration.
How far in advance should we book?
Wedding dates fill quickly, especially during peak season. We recommend booking as soon as your venue and date are confirmed to secure availability.
Do we meet before the wedding?
Yes! We offer a pre-wedding consultation (in person or virtual) to understand your dog’s personality, review the schedule, visit the venue if needed and ensure everyone feels comfortable.
How many dogs can you accommodate?
We can accommodate multiple dogs depending on temperament and logistics. For larger groups, an additional handler may be required to ensure safety and proper supervision.
Do you offer engagement or proposal services?
Yes! We can assist with surprise proposals, engagement photo sessions, or save-the-date shoots to include your pup in every milestone.
