Ruth was absolutely amazing both on and leading up to our wedding. She looked after our overly excitable chihuahua and kept him happy and entertained until he calmly and adorably walked down the aisle and posed for photos. Formal Dogs is highly recommended for anyone wanting their dog at their wedding!

 

Ruth at Formal Dogs is lovely and so very helpful. Without her we would never have had our fur kids at our wedding. Right from the start Ruth was there to help. It was wonderful knowing our kids were in safe, capable and trustworthy hands. Thank you Ruth for making our day that much more extra special.

 

Ruth from formal dogs is so kind and caring, she did the most amazing job with our dog Beefy (our ring bearer). Our day was truly perfect because of your amazing service and love for what you do. Thank you Ruth!

 

Ruth was absolutely fantastic, couldn’t ask for someone who truely cares about your pet on the most important day of you life 🙂

 

Formal dogs are amazing and they are the reason that our golden retrievers (effectively our children) got to be at the wedding and walk down the aisle to deliver the rings. The boys were fed, looked after and taken around, to and from the venue. We tested them completely with our pups and so should anyone else on Melbourne who needs a responsible supplier to help make their day incredible.
