We've be juggling so many challenges throughout the shut-down but the latest gas price hikes have been the hardest to deal with.  A virus cycles out (eventually) but the loss of of supply chain workers and the increasing demand to open up leaves us with the harsh reality that there is a cost we can't ignore and must embrace.

Effective immediately new fuel surcharges will be added to the services to help keep us going.  Instead of increasing each service rate we've added a fuel surcharge  of $5.00 to your daily visit or a $7.00 surcharge when multiple visits a day are needed.

We appreciate you entrusting us with your fur family members and look forward to weathering the inflationary challenges in front of us.

Before you panic with the declining grooming habits in your senior Cat just know there are some comfort and care tips you can begin to add into your Cats daily routine without stressing them out.

Once you've chosen a Pet Sitter for your pet, invite them into your home for a meet and greet before you plan to leave.  You can observe how they interact with your dog or Cat and show them around your home  Tell them where they will find keys, food, emergency contacts, and any instructions, and help them to get to know your pet, such as:

1. Your pet's name, breed, age and medical history such as a recent surgery, medical conditions, allergies, etc.
2. Your Vet´s information.
3. Tricks and behaviors, including any verbal cues or hand signals, and how do you deal with your pet's                  behaviors.
4. Behavioral or medical information on your pet, such as your pet's recent surgery. 
5. If your pet requires any prescribed medicine and how to administer.
6. What is your pet's daily schedule such as how much do they poop, when and where,. and how much they will eat, and where the pet supplies and food are kept including dry food, wet food, and any treats that are permitted.
7. For dogs, Is there a designated walking route or park, what gear they are walked with and where is it kept, how does your dog behave on a walk, and whether they would like their dog interacting with people or other dogs.
8. Where they should park i.e.: drive way, street, guest parking, etc.
9. If they are staying the night, where will they sleep, TV and Wi-Fi information, 
10. If you would like them to get your mail, and where you would like the mail and package deliveries placed.
11. If there are any alarms or off limit areas.
12. Your emergency contact information.

Items 1 thru 12 are basic.  Your Pet Sitter should offer a comprehensive information form that goes into every detail of your pet's life, conditions and behaviors.   

Leaving your pet in good hands with a professional, licensed, and insured Pet Care Provider who knows Pet CPR 1st Aid provides peace of mind for you and your Pet Sitter.  This will set  your Pet Sitter up for success.

Peace of mind is the goal for you. If you would like more information about our services please follow us on Instagram @Pawtailspetcare

Hello and thank you for stopping by today!.
​.
​Do you have a Dog that pulls on the leash leaving you wondering who's walking who?

Over the last 15 years I have used almost every collar/harness type out there.  My conclusion is we're going about this all wrong!  Leashing a lead to a neck collar is a recipe for disaster not only causing neck injury to your Dog.  but making sure they can't slide out of their gear when spooked is paramount.

Today I'm going to demonstrate the Harness Lead Leash to  help you and your Dog have an amazing walk and reduce the pulling offering you the escape proof  peace of mind for a win/win for you and your Dog.

Watch Coco as she get's into a 'listening' rhythm to both my commands and her own body responses to the torso compression and relaxation of the harness lead leash .  

If you have a big breed or a small bread that tugs you along feel free to contact me for one-on-one training tips and solutions to help you walk with your Dog with ease and enjoyment.  

Big Max, 13 years young has his good days and not so good days. His aging dog care has us slowing down the activity but not stopping! We are aware his hearing isn't so good and his eye sight has become cloudy so we approach slowly, move slowly and stay in front of him so he doesn't get startled. His tail doesn't miss a beat but those joints and agility are a bit slow these day.  Slower to get up, slower to lay down and not as quick to catch the ball in his mouth.

I'm going to share a few tips and dietary modifications for you to consider from my favorite Integrative Vet, Dr. Andrew Jones, to help you modify your aging Dog's lifestyle to enhance their mobility, agility, digestion and cognitive pliability .I've incorporated these tips and modifications for my own pups and my clients and have had wonderful outcomes that enhanced their joy with a high quality, species appropriate dietary changes,  beneficial supplements, cold laser therapy andhomeopathic remedies and Flower Essence therapies.

If you would like to chat about best practices for your aging, senior Dog feel free to txt me, or DM me on Instagram @pawtailspetcare

Is Pet Care an Essential Service?

Yes!

I'm asking our community to support us in a new way today. We are all overwhelmed by the COVID19 Pandemic. Can you see our services as an essential support for our Paw Parents/Medical Professionals and Workers?  These Paw Parents need us more than ever!

We are called upon to gear up in protective gear, to do our part to safely walk, feed and snuggle the Fur family  as an Essential Service Provider during this 'shelter in place order'. We all want to help those on the front lines during this COVID19 Pandemic.

 Pawtails is responding daily to the calls for help to care for their Fur Kids! Our hearts go out to our MD's, and Nurses in a big way.

NOTE: We practice Physical Distancing, Protective Hygiene Protocols and wear protective gear. We touch no surface without a thorough wipe down before and after touching of anything such as door knobs, counters, leashes, harnesses or food bowls to help minimize bringing the virus into the home.

Doing our part so they can do theirs.
🐾💗🐾.
