Finishing out the week with another ! Introducing an adorable short-legged pup, please say hello to Mr. Toast. 🐶 This adorable 5-year-old corgi may be a little shy at first, but once you win him over, he'll be your best buddy. 🥰 Just be warned: he might bark at strangers (or if you stop petting him - he loves attention! 😋) and Mr. Toast has a confession to make... he's terrified of motorcycles and hiccups (yes, you read that right!). 🤣 Once Toastie has decided you're his new BFF, he'll show you his best grass roll moves! Welcome to the Green Paws Family 💚🐾

🚨New Client Alert🚨 Everyone please say hello to Miss Skadi! 🐶 This gentle giant has a few special ways of communicating with her humans... She'll let you know when she's craving attention with a little whine or nudge, and if you're lucky, she'll lead you to her favorite spot on the carpet for pets and belly rubs galore! 🥰 But that's not all - Skadi is a connoisseur of fresh water, and she'll let you know when it's time for a refill by sniffing her bowl, walking back to the carpet, and sitting pretty. 💁‍♀️ Whenever Skadi is on walks with her pet care specialist, she's always ready for a sniff-tastic adventure - nothing is better than exploring all the sights and smells! 😋 Welcome to the Green Paws Family 💚🐾

🥳Hey everybody, happy 🥳 Please wish a warm welcome to PCS Jackie! Born and raised in Chicago, Jackie grew up with many animals from dogs and cats to birds and lizards. 🐾 Her favorite childhood pass time was taking naps with her golden Retriever, Marley. 🐶 At around sixteen years old, Jackie started professionally dog sitting for her friends and neighbors. When Jackie is not with Green Paws furbabies, you may find her playing and cuddling with her four kittens! 😸 Jackie's other favorite activity is taking walks on a brisk fall evening. However, she says walks are always better with a friend (human or fur baby)! 😋 We are so happy to welcome Jackie onto the Green Paws Team! 💚

We always try to send birthday messages to all the furbabies of the Green Paws Family when it's their day! It may be a small task in the grand scheme of things, but client responses like Cynthia's remind us why every minor task is incredibly important. Everyday is someone's birthday! 💚

🐾Happy 🐾 This week we are shining a spotlight on the most dapper and delightful tuxedo kitty! Everyone say hello to Mr. Davis. 😸 Secretly a master yogi, Davis loves to show off his moves to any pet care specialist who visits! He always generously offers to share his wisdom on the best yoga practices. Who knew we had been doing it all wrong? 😋 Davis' second favorite pastime is mealtime! He really loves when he has human company as he chows down, the more the merrier. 😹 Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm out there! 💚

🚨New Client Alert🚨 Introducing an adorably long-legged duo, meet V***n and Comet! Both pups are rescues, but they come from very different walks of life. 🐶 V***n is a rescue from a Florida race track and Comet is a rescue from an Ireland race track! V***n is about eight years old and she of course is the perfect first furbaby. Then there's Comet, the four year old second pup who's taught V***n what it's like to love another dog! V***n never really enjoyed being around other greyhounds, but she took to Comet rather quickly. 🥰 Comet has a high prey drive when it comes to squirrels taunting him in the backyard! He'll run back and forth along the fence, but alas he has yet to catch any prey. 😋 V***n's silly quirk is that she's pretty clumsy, accidentally scraping her paws or legs while galloping around the home. We are so happy to welcome these two lovely greyhounds into the Green Paws Family! 💚🐾

Happy everyone! Please say hello to Gracie and Max. 😸 Gracie is the queen of grooming, spending a lot of her time perfecting her beautiful coat! She loves her cozy paper bag, it's her favorite evening retreat. 😋 Max is a playful little troublemaker who can’t resist a feather toy or shoes! 🤣 He loves to explore and knock things over, and yes, he’s even figured out how to open doors! 🚪 To keep the breakables safe, a chair must be placed in front of the walk-in closet. Little Max is just too smart! These two are such a delightful duo, balancing chaos and serenity 🥰

Winter is in full swing which means it's time to prepare your pup for a cold and wet season! We wanted to share some winter tips to keep your furbaby safe and warm both outside and inside. ❄️

1. Remember, if it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pet, so keep your animals inside. If left outdoors, pets can freeze, become disoriented, lost, stolen, injured or killed. In addition, don’t leave pets alone in a car during cold weather, as cars can act as refrigerators that hold in the cold and cause animals to freeze to death. 🥶
2. Keep your home humidified and be sure to towel dry your pet as soon as they come inside. Repeatedly going into the cold and then coming back into a warm home can cause itchy, flaking skin. Pay close attention to their feet and in-between their toes and remove any snow balls from between their foot pads to prevent and treat skin irritation in the winter. 🐾
3. Massage petroleum jelly or other vet-approved paw protectants into paw pads before going outside to protect from salt and chemical agents. Booties can provide even more coverage and can also prevent sand and salt from getting lodged between bare toes and causing irritation. Use pet-friendly ice melts whenever possible. 🥾
4. After each walk, make sure to wash and dry your pet's feet and stomach to remove ice, salt and chemicals. Don't forget to check for cracks in paw pads or redness between the toes. You may also want to bring a towel on long walks to clean off stinging, irritated paws. 🚿
5. Feed your pet a little extra in the winter months. Pets burn extra energy by trying to stay warm in wintertime. Feeding them a little bit more can provide much-needed calories, and making sure they have plenty of water to drink will help keep them well-hydrated and their skin less dry.🐶

Power up those space heaters and warming blankets, it's chilly out there! 😎

😸Happy 😸 This week we are shining a spotlight on the sweetest little Siberian kitten in town! Everyone please say hello to Miss Joon. She's around 5 months old and she's already got large, fluffy paws! We think she's gonna be a very big girl once fully grown. 😋 Joon loves to follow her humans around, meowing ever so quietly to let them know she wants food or attention! She's also very curious about the Litter Robot, occasionally she'll sit inside the drum in attempts to defeat technology. 🤣 Joon is an adorable, playful, and loving kitten that we are so happy to welcome into the Green Paws Family! 💚🐾

🚨New Client Alert🚨 Introducing an adorable trio of pups this week, everyone say hello to Nikki, Roxy, and Saint! 🐶 I've nicknamed this crew as the Pittie Committee™ and they are all absolute sweethearts. Nikki is the eldest at the wonderful age of 17! 🥹 She was rescued from a horrible housing situation, but she's lived a beautiful and long life with her rescue pawrents. Roxy is the middle child at around 8 years old! She's got a smile that could melt anyone's heart. 🥰 Saint is the youngest, but funnily enough the largest of the trio! He's just over a year old and he's already got a heart of gold. Saint may be big, but he knows how to be gentle and kind with his pawrents and sisters! 😇 We could not be happier welcoming such wonderful pups into the Green Paws Family! 💚🐾

✨Happy everyone!✨ Please wish a warm welcome to our pet care specialist, Sarah! Sarah grew up in Michigan and received her Bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University. Go Green! 💚 She had a few cats growing up and a family dog as well. She and her husband have three cats, Libby, Stu and Phoebe, who are their world. 😸 While she is clearly a cat lover, she adores dogs as well! Hanging out with and taking care of your pup is a great fix since she does not have a dog of her own. 🐶 In her freetime, Sarah loves the outdoors, walking, and biking. We are so happy to have Sarah as a member of the Green Paws Team! 🐾
