GardeGriffes

07/23/2024

The time has come to announce that GardeGriffes will be closing at the end of August. We have had an adventurous past two years serving clients new and old. We have met so many different dogs and enjoyed seeing their excited and happy faces each day. It’s been a wild and energetic ride 😅

Unfortunately, due to city regulations, we are no longer able to continue to operate in our current location so unfortunately we will have to close our doggy doors. Having spent many MANY hours with some of your most prized companions we have gotten to know them on a unique level (living like/with dogs, you almost feel like you BECOME a dog 😂).

We thank all of our loyal customers for their continued support throughout the past two years and will miss all of the happy times we had with your pups.

We have a few spots left to book in August . Please DM us for booking inquiries.

Lots of information/concern out there about pets and the upcoming eclipse!

Only humans would be so ridiculous as to look directly at the sun 🤣

Hello friends!

The total solar eclipse is just around the corner, and just about everyone is ready to see the once in a lifetime event. We are seeing some mixed information about pet/wildlife safety.

Contrary to what some may read, the sun itself is not any more dangerous during the eclipse. The reason protective eye wear is recommended for humans (who wish to observe the eclipse) is because many of us will be staring directly at the sun that day, which is something we typically avoid.

For our pets, and outdoor wildlife, that day will be similar to any other day. Our pets don’t stare at the sun, so there is no need to keep them indoors on April 08 for any extended period of time. They may notice the change in temperature, but it is unlikely they will exhibit any unusual behaviour.

The eclipse can be more unsettling for birds. The dimming of the sky can mimic behaviour at dusk and during early storm formation, so some birds may demonstrate a wind-down behaviour and there may be less activity in the sky during the peak eclipse. Once the sky returns to normal, so does their behaviour.

If you are purchasing eclipse glasses, please make sure they meet these criteria. For additional information about the eclipse please see:

For a list of approved solar-viewing goggles please see:

It is not safe to watch the eclipse through the lens of your smartphone - it can damage both your phone camera and your eyes. Try this instead:

Safe watching our friends!
