In addition to experience with domestic animals, I am also a horseback Riding Instructor. Our goal is to provide safe, stress free care for animals whose owners are away. Pets become extremely stressed in kennels. The stress comes from being in a foreign environment surrounded by strange animals and people. This is especially true for animals that have been adopted from a shelter. Kenneling pets t
hat have been abandoned, or traumatized may cause them to revert to old negative behavior. Your pets do not understand that you have only left for the weekend. What they do know is that the kennel is a strange environment, with ugly smells and strange animals. Kennels, no matter how pristine the cages are, introduce your pets to health issues other animals have brought with them; including fleas. At the same time kennels lower their immune response, because it heightens their stress levels. Why should your pets have to leave the comfort and safety of your home just because you have to go out of town? Their food, toilet and favorite toys are at home. The most important thing to them, your smell, is all around them. Your smell makes them feel safe and secure and reminds them of you ! These are just some of the reasons we provide in home care only. Although it is not cruel or inhumane to put your pet in kennel, we believe the alternative we offer is healthier, safer and smarter.
