Hey everyone, please keep dog food, cat food, other pet supply donations coming in. They have a long road ahead of them

It's all going to be used up!

Ruidoso, Alto, Mescalero and all those surrounding places have so much on their plate.

I have also received this message today from Starla. She is a long time friend and was also evacuated from Alto.

Her heart is invested with her church to help with clean up efforts.

These are some of the other odds and ends that are needed.

Please feel free to drop these items off at our 1141 center Ave location as well.

They need clean up supplies.

You can Call Starla at 302-4928 if you have any questions about clean up or want to send something on this list. Every little thing helps!

Please share. 💜

Hey everyone!

As you know we do have some evacuee pets in.

People have been asking what they can donate to help with the evacuee pets.

I am gonna be honest.
We are okay at the kennel.
We have what we need.
We appreciate those who have reached out so much!

But there is so much more that is needed elsewhere at evacuee shelters.

Here is a list of needed items we are rounding up to help with pets.

Cat litter
Cat food (any brand)
Crates (large, xl, medium and small)
Crate Pads
Leashes, collars, harnesses
Disposable potty pads
Any brand of dog food
Pet hygiene (brushes, Combs, pet shampoo)
Pet food bowls.
Litter boxes. And scoopers (Clean)
Dog waste bags.

We have two drop off locations

The Kennel location is
1141 Center Ave
From 7 -11am and 3 to 6pm.
Monday through Saturday.
We will have our gate open Sunday to drop off donations.

Parlor location is
106 N lake st.
8am to 3pm. Monday through Friday.

We will be taking this stuff to aid with evacuees pets in Roswell, as well as distributing some to local evacuees who need them in Carlsbad as well as sending some to Ruidoso, Mescalero Apache Reservation, and victims in those areas who were impacted.

We are still taking a few evacuees as space opens up also, no charge. However we are full at this time.

Some people are staying for a week, others are staying just for a day or two, so that they can get a break, or their dog can run in the yards.

I understand that Crates and certain things may sell out or become scarce. Your more than welcome to order online and mail it.

Used items in good shape are definitely welcome.

We can be reached at 575-302-6606

If you call us and we don't answer leave a voicemail, it's hard to hear our phone sometimes.

My team and I, are praying for you all.

Please share.

Good Morning. 🐾💜🐾

We are completely booked for the month of May every weekend at our boarding location.

All vaccines are required.

We no longer offer any daycare services, due to the high demand for over night boarding and limited space.

I apologize about this inconvenience.

Our grooming shop is completely booked as well.

We do have a waiting list that you can get on.

We do try to call people in every single time we have a no-show.

As much as I wish we could take on more grooming clients, we absolutely can't at this time.

All of my employees are working very hard.
Their health and well-being is extremely important as well as your pets.

A groomer can only safely groom so many dogs in a day.

I hope you all understand.

Also please know that I absolutely appreciate every single one of you.

Hello everyone🐾💜🐾

We are fully booked in our boarding kennel for the Christmas holiday.

We typically book up a month or two prior to Christmas, so it is very important to book ahead of time, As we already have people booking for next year.

Also we are not very active on our social media page these days.

Please call our office for boarding 575-302-6606.

Please leave a voicemail if we do not answer, as we are in the back working with the dogs and it can be quite loud.

THANK YOU!

There are no actual confirmed cases of the "mystery illness" in New Mexico.

There is no way to confirm it.

****It has been reported***

*** It is suspected at this point.****

Researchers do not know what it is.

Therefore they do not have any idea, how to test for it yet, or the best treatment.

They are still trying to figure out if its bacterial or viral.

All they can do is rule out known illnesses, before suspecting it to be the mystery illness.

There are things you can do to help protect your dogs against other known illnesses.

****Stay up to date on all vaccines.***

Rabies, Canine Annual (DHPP), Bordetella.

If possible, get the Canine influenza vaccine.

This does not mean that your dog will not get sick.

These vaccines only protect against so much, just like any other vaccine.

These will NOT protect your dogs against the, "mystery illness." But it's important to take all precautions and measures possible to protect them from any other illness.

Other measures that you can take are keeping your dogs away from highly populated areas like dog parks, boarding, grooming shops, and even vet's offices, unless it's necessary.

Don't take your dogs out of town to other populated areas.

If your dog shows any symptoms of cold, hack, or illness, call your vet. Set a appointment. Upon arrival let them meet you outside, or in a designated quarantined area, unless told otherwise.

If your dog is sick, keep your dog home! Don't take your sick dogs out. Even it's it's mild, just don't.

Bark n buds, will continue operations.

Vaccines required: Rabies, Dhpp, Bordetella and Canine Influenza.

Proof must be provided.

Grooming and Boarding are important parts of pet care.

We will continue to take all precautions, as we always have, and some extra!

We encourage everyone to get your Canine influenza vaccine, along with all the other regular required vaccinations.

As of right now there is a shortage of Canine Influenza vaccines, in Carlsbad.

There has never been any canine influenza cases in NM.

I've spoken to every vet's office in town.

They are all in the process of ordering it.

Be kind, be patient.

Remember this is not going to protect your dog against the "mystery illness".

It's just another protective measure to see if it helps, And to protect against the risk of Canine influenza, in the event that it becomes an issue.

In the meantime if your dog shows any symptoms, please keep them home.

If you want to be extra safe, keep them home.

Keep in mind that just because your dog is vaccinated, does not mean that everybody else's dogs are vaccinated at public places, like parks.

Your dog can have all vaccines and still get sick.

Vaccines typically help fight the illness if they do get sick, while vaccinated.

My team and I, will continue to care for the animals in the community of Carlsbad, because this is what we do.

We do it as safely as possible, And we do it with love.

If you choose not to bring your dogs in, we understand, and we respect that. .

Christmas deposits will be refunded to anyone who cancels.

(Also for the love of BaGeezus, please don't start buying up all the toilet paper. )

We offer Dog Boarding and Grooming services! Call us today!

A mysterious and potentially deadly illness continues to infect dogs nationwide, so New Mexico's top veterinarian is warning dog owners what to look out for....

11/28/2023

Good morning,

I wanted to reach out to you all to let you know that we are on top of the news regarding the new dog respiratory illness passing around America.

For some dogs it can be mild, and for others it is deadly.

As of right now they are thinking that it's some type of new bacterial infection.

They have not figured out what to treat it with.

But labs are working hard to figure it out.

We are taking every precaution possible, as well continuing to take every precaution we always have, to prevent any types of kennel coughs, or various other pet illnesses.

If it hits New Mexico, I will update you all.

All dogs will continue to be vaccinated, as we have always required.

We don't allow dogs with any respiratory symptoms or illness to board.

Because these types of viruses tend to jump from state to state by pets traveling, we will not be taking in any pets from any of the other areas at this time.

I suggest if at all possible don't take your pets out of town or state.

We will be sticking strictly with our regular Carlsbad clientele.

If You have boarded at any other boarding facilities within the past month, we cannot board your pet.

Please take precautions going to any grooming shops or dog parks.

Make sure your pets are vaccinated, if there is any symptoms please stay home.

If it isn't necessary to take your pets out, I highly encourage you to keep your pets home during this time.

If your pet is immunosuppressed, old, really young, or medically fragile in anyway, it definitely increases the risk of your pet becoming ill and dying from this illness, in the event they catch it.

Please take all precautions possible.

I will update you as I learn more information.

Thank you

For those of you who are boarding your dog with us this evening, I would like you to know that I just checked on all of the dogs, to make sure that they are doing fine with all of the fireworks going off in town.

All of the dogs are doing amazing.

We have an industrial fan going which completely is drowning out the sound of the fireworks. The fan, along with us being located on the outside of town works, perfectly

Everyone is great.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

BE SAFE!

Good Morning! 🐾💜🐾

(Reposting because the last post wasn't sharable.)

We have been getting a lot of messages regarding Dog grooming, on this page as well as my personal page.

I will be very honest with you, ever since 2020, the pet industry has been completely overloaded.

At this time, it is incredibly hard to not only get into a dog groomer, but also a veterinarian.

During the pandemic many people got more pets, as well as Carlsbad has grown.

That is no problem, we love pets!

But one issue we are facing in the community is not enough people in the pet industry. And the pet population keeps growing daily.

Please understand that pet groomers, veterinarians, pet sitters, and dog boarding facilities, are maxed out.

We are all doing the best we can.

(So are the animal shelters 💜)

I do understand it is very frustrating to not be able to get your pets taken care of whenever you would like.

However please remember that you are dealing with humans, and we are not machines.

We can only physically take on so much a day, as providing pet care is very hard work.

Everyone in this industry absolutely loves animals, and it pains us, whenever we cannot take care of your pets for you.

(I promise you, we all take it hard as we all got into this to help animals.)

At this time we are unable to take on any more new grooming clients.

We are currently booked out for a year and I am slowly releasing clients, due to not having enough consistent staff, my current health, as well as groomers moving away.

Our waiting list at this time, is five pages long. And continues to grow as people continue to get more pets.

I urge everyone to make sure that you secure a groomer and a veterinarian, before adding to your pet family.

If you cannot secure a groomer or veterinarian in town, Please be okay with traveling to give your pet the best care that they can get.

Please understand that if a local groomer, veterinarian, pet sitter, or pet boarding facility cannot get you in, it is not because we do not care.

It is because we are maxed out, and doing the best we can to continue to offer the best care that we can, without completely landing ourselves out of commission due to exhaustion.

If I don't care for myself, or my employees, then there will be no Bark n Buddies or Pet Parlor.

That will be 10,000+ animals in Carlsbad without pet care.

My teams wellbeing is so important, not only for them, their families but also for the animals we provide care for.

That is why we have limits on what we can physically handle.

We are doing our best.

Please be kind.
