Just one of the many benefits that my clients get to enjoy 🥰🐾

💉🐾 Why Rabies Vaccination is a Must! 🐾💉

Rabies is a deadly virus that affects the nervous system of both animals and humans, and it’s almost always fatal once symptoms appear. What makes it even more serious is that there’s currently no way to test a pet for rabies without it resulting in the pet’s death. That’s why vaccinating our pets is so crucial.

The rabies vaccine not only protects your pet from this dangerous disease but also helps prevent the spread to other animals and people. Keeping your pet up to date on their rabies vaccine is a simple yet vital way to ensure they stay healthy and safe.

Let’s keep our pets—and everyone around them—safe by staying on top of their vaccinations! Prevention is the best protection. 🐶🐱

🐕🚫 Pet Myth Buster Monday: Aggressiveness Isn’t Just About Breed! 🚫🐕

While it’s true that some breeds have been selectively bred for certain traits, including aggressiveness, it’s not the whole story. A dog’s behavior is influenced by many factors, including their environment, training, and socialization. Even breeds known for being more assertive can be loving and gentle with the right care and guidance.

Let’s remember that a dog’s breed doesn’t define them—how we raise and treat them plays a huge role in shaping their behavior. Every dog deserves a chance to be understood and loved for who they are. ❤️🐾

At On Point Pet Sitting, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many wonderful dogs, and some of them are blind. Let’s give our blind and visually impaired dogs the extra love and appreciation they deserve today—and every day!

Feline Distemper & Why We Vaccinate 🐱💉

I want to highlight the importance of vaccinating our cats against feline distemper, also known as feline panleukopenia.

What is Feline Distemper?

Feline distemper is a serious and highly contagious viral disease that affects a cat's immune system and gastrointestinal tract. It can cause severe symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and even death.

Why Vaccinate?

Prevention: The vaccine is the most effective way to protect your cat from this deadly virus. It helps build their immunity and keeps them safe.

Early Protection: Kittens are especially vulnerable, so early vaccination is crucial for their health.

Peace of Mind: Knowing your cat is protected from this severe disease allows you to enjoy your time together without worry.

With over 15 years of experience and a deep commitment to pet care, I urge you to ensure your cat’s vaccinations are up-to-date. Let’s keep our feline friends safe and healthy! 🐱💖

Contact me if you have any questions about vaccinations or need help with pet care. Your cat’s health is always a priority!

🧠🐾 Pet Tip Tuesday: Keep Your Pet’s Mind Sharp with Brain Games! 🧠🐾

Did you know that mental stimulation is just as important for your pet as physical exercise? Engaging your furry friend in brain games can help reduce boredom, improve behavior, and strengthen your bond. Try a stuffed kong, hide-and-seek, or even teaching new tricks to keep their minds active and sharp. It’s a fun way to challenge them and boost their confidence too! 🐕🐈

🐾 Myth Buster Monday: Are Dogs Really Color Blind? 🐾

It's a common belief that dogs see the world in black and white, but that’s not entirely true! While dogs don't perceive the full spectrum of colors like humans, they do see some colors. Their vision is similar to what we might see at dusk—blues and yellows stand out, while reds and greens are harder for them to distinguish. So, next time you're picking out toys or accessories, remember that your pup can appreciate a splash of color too! 🌈🐕
