How to keep your pet healthy during the Holidays!
Everyone knows its hard enough to keep your pet from begging at the dinner table. It gets pretty much impossible to control when you have a dozen of your family and friends at your house for Thanksgiving dinner, giving your cute little dog just one little treat. Firstly, tell your guests that table scraps are off limits. Thats really all that you can do when you have guests. At home make sure to enforce the “no table scraps” policy, and have healthy treats on hand for your pet so that you aren’t tempted to give your pet people food. Also, keeping your pet outside or in the garage during family meals would really eliminate the temptation for both parties. Just by following these easy tips you will be keeping your pet healthy enough to be around for next year’s holidays!
Holiday prices!!!
Its that time of year! Its time to travel to Grandma’s house, take the trek to the in-laws house…Have you thought about where your pet is going to be during all of the holiday craziness?? If you need your pet to be taken care of while you are away, I offer two easy, cheap options! I can (A) check in on your pet twice daily to provide walks and ensure that they are receiving attention and food, or I can (B) take care of your pet from my own home! I have a spacious front and back yard, and I also have kennels available. I offer negotiable rates, and I have great availability! Call or comment me for further information! The holidays get hectic fast, so make sure you have your pets taken care of!
Doggy holidays!
Carry those blue bags!
I don’t know about you guys, but now that I have a lovely front yard with an actual lawn, I hate seeing poop on it!!!! Shocker!! I have two dogs that I walk daily, and no matter what, carrying a bag to pick up their poop is pretty much as important as their leash. I know its not fun, its definately not “cool,” but it is the law!! Carry those bags with pride, and maybe some day I won’t be cleaning up after other pets messes on my front lawn.
Puppy Training!!!AH!!!
Ok, so if you went to the walk, you probably already know that I now have a 4 month old puppy! We named him Baxter, and he was abandoned (randomly? I doubt it) at Davis Park on the morning of the health walk. We are now puppy proofing the house, and that is about as fun as it sounds! But this is a very important part of having a puppy- removing the opportunity for problem behavior. Having a few trusty chew toys on hand to replace a non-approved item is a must. It doesn’t do to just remove the item from the pets reach, its important that you provide an approved item for your pet to chew on. Positive reinforcement at its finest!!
