Walking dogs right after walk?
Sorry, should say 'walking dogs right after feeding'
I've posted a few questions about this current stay (2 walks a day; morning and evening) I'm doing & have another one. I wasn't really thinking enough before the stay & didn't ask about the fact that my clients walk their dogs literally right after they eat. They're both somewhat large dogs; one's a german shepherd-akita mix (13 yrs old) and one's a black lab (9 years old). Considering how large the german shepherd mix is and her age, I imagine dog bloat could definitely be a concern; I just don't know how to bring this up/how we would modify the stay. Is this something I should covertly mention to the wife at the end of the stay (since we have a good relationship)?
This stay has honestly been giving me quite a bit of anxiety because these are the clients that used choke collars (and the wife successfully got the husband to agree to harnesses), and the harnesses don't seem to fit quite right & the poor akita has diagnosed arthritis, limps on one leg, but isn't taking anything for it :/ They have a tenant who sees me come in and out which complicates things.
Anyway, I don't know how immediate the concern of feeding them before walking them may be & don't really know how to approach this. Would appreciate any insight.
