To reassure our clients staying with us during this heatwave… our temperature inside our facility is 67 degrees. Our doggy doors are also shut so our dogs can not be outside for long periods of time. We do let them out for potty breaks.

We are booked the week of July 4. We still have a few, not many, spots left for June and July. Don’t procrastinate, reserve your spot today.

Just a reminder that we are by appointment. We are running into people not sticking to their reserved time. We would hate for someone to show up and have the door locked.

Keep your pets safe during this record breaking heat!

With the record setting temperatures throughout the country this summer, it is especially critical that pet owners be vigilant with their pets health. Here are some suggestions to keep your pet safe.

Maintain hydration: maintaining hydration is always important for pets, but especially when it is extremely hot. Provide plenty of fresh clean water, making sure that your pet always has access to it. Water bowls left outside in the hot summers heat can get to dangerously hot temperatures quickly.

Provide a cool environment: Provide a cool environment for your pet to rest; preferably inside the air-conditioned house. If not possible to have your pets inside it is imperative that you provide an area with shade during daylight hours, preferably this will be an area that has good airflow to allow them to feel a breeze. You can also provide airflow with the use of fans.

Avoid hot surfaces: Hot surfaces such as pavement, asphalt and sand can be scorching hot and burn your pets. Ask yourself if you would be comfortable to walk barefoot on the surface you are walking your dog on, and if not walk them on the grass or shaded areas during cool parts of the day.

Limit exercise: During the extreme summer heat it’s important to limit strenuous exercise. Avoid doing any exercise during the hottest times of the day. Walking and playing is best done during the early morning or evening hours when temperatures are not as high.

Never leave pets in a parked car: Never, Never, Never leave pets in a parked car during summer heat. Even with the windows cracked, the temperatures inside a vehicle can quickly become life-threatening.

The Pet Companion goes above and beyond for people. Got a call from a guy from Tennessee hiking the AT. He had a medical emergency, made it to a hostel but needed to get to the ER. He couldn’t go until he found somewhere for his dog to go. I told him we would open up for him even though we were closed for the day. He said he had to figure out how to get the dog to us. He was in MD. I said we’d come pick the dog up for him. He said he had to find a ride to the hospital. I told him we had room for him also, we’d drop him off on the way. It makes you feel good knowing he can concentrate on himself and not worry about whether his dog is in good hands 😊. Please share.
