A home that feels familiar to us can contain quite different journeys for a dog. Think about the route from bed to garden, the surfaces between rooms and any steps along the way. These details can be useful to describe at an assessment.
Bring questions about particular areas and, if the team requests them, a description or image of the layout. Ask which adaptations are appropriate for your dog before changing access arrangements or introducing equipment. Individual guidance should account for the whole household.
