Hence why proof of a rabies vaccine is required for ALL services.UNLESS A DVM declares vaccines unnecessary due to patient condition.

Dead Raccoon in Hampstead Tested Positive for Rabies:

On the night of October 2nd, the raccoon entered a home on Main Street in Hampstead across from Greenmount Bowl and encountered a dog. The raccoon was safely removed by Animal Control but had to be euthanized, and it tested positive for rabies.

The Health Department is concerned that other pets or people in the area may have been exposed to the infected raccoon.

“Rabies exposure occurs through bites and scratches or saliva from the infected animal getting into the eyes, nose, mouth, or a wound of a person or another animal,” said Joe Mancuso, Rabies Program Manager at the Health Department.
Anyone who may have been exposed or whose pet may have been exposed to bites, scratches, or saliva from this raccoon can call the Health Department at 410-876-1884 for a risk assessment.

Rabies is most often seen in raccoons, cats, skunks, foxes, groundhogs, and bats in Maryland, but can sometimes be seen in other animals such as dogs, ferrets, deer, and even cows and other farm animals. “Observe wildlife and animals you don’t know from a distance, and keep your pets vaccinated,” advised Mancuso. “If you see a sick or wounded animal, or one that is acting strangely, call Animal Control at 410-848-4810.”

To keep yourself, your family, and your pets safe from rabies:
​- Do not approach, handle, pet, or feed wild or stray animals.
- Have your dogs, cats, and ferrets vaccinated against rabies and keep their vaccinations up-to-date.
- Do not leave pets outside unattended or allow them to roam free.
- Cover garbage cans tightly and do not leave pet food outside.
- Teach children to stay away from wild animals and any animals that they do not know.
- Prevent bats from entering your home by using window screens and chimney caps. Bats found in the home should be safely collected, if possible, and tested for rabies.

If you or your pet have been bitten or scratched by a wild or stray animal, wash the area with soap and water for several minutes. Keep your pet away from other people and pets. Then call your physician or veterinarian and contact the Health Department (410-876-1884).

Mako is such a good boy for his nail trims and we just need peanut butter and treats!
Finally we got his toes down to a great spot and can keep him on a good 4-6 week schedule! Heather Lowe- thanks for blessing me with such a sweet boy to take care of!💕

Love these two! I brag about them and smile everytime I talk about them with other clients!
Edwin and Ellie are the funniest two huskies I have ever met. Dad has to literally lift them off the ground when they get their nails done or else they literally talk and scream the whole time.
Edwin as you can see is very disappointed that his mom is taking photos instead of helping him escape getting his nails trimmed…. 🤣🤣🤣 HAPPY TUESDAY!
I will be posting an updated availability calendar forJuly in the next couple days, so keep your eyes open!
Thank you for referring your friends and family! My books are scheduling up really fast with pet sitting as well so my availability for nails is a little slim but I will fit you in where I can!
Thanks again everyone ❤️

May dates for dog walks, nail trims, pet sitting,etc. ! I am available Wednesdays from 4-5pm for cosmetic services in edgewater, Annapolis,riva, davidsonville, and harwood.

Please book up the week of May 20th-29th!
Free for cosmetic services in the afternoons/evenings!

Reminder : your pet(s) MUST be up to date with rabies vaccination(s)!!!
Recommended vaccinations include : bordetella, canine influenza, and DHLPP.
If you have questions about vaccinations, why they are required and or recommended, feel free to message me.
If your pet is not up to date on their rabies vaccination I WILL NOT be able to service them until they are up to date for atleast 7-10 days.
This means -
I will NOT accept any appointments for same day rabies vaccinations requirements being made. Meaning if you think your going to get your pet a vet visit at 9am for a rabies vaccine and then schedule with me at 3pm, it’s not happening and we can schedule for 7-10 days after they have been vaccinated.
If I accepted your appointment for same day, it wouldn’t do me any good and wouldn’t make sense for me to have that requirement in place.
The RULES APPLY NO MATTER IF YOUR PET IS A DOG OR CAT. no rabies = no appointment.

Again, please message if you have questions or concerns. Thank you!

Happy Sunday!
Thank you to everyone who has been so patient with me regarding getting in my schedule.
My dad just finished his first round of chemo, and isn’t feeling too well but trying his best to push through!!
If you are a new client, please understand that I may not be able to get you in right away and the wait time maybe 1-2 weeks out , but I am always willing to let you know if I have a cancellation or last minute opening!!!
If you are a returning client , and I have not reached out or we have not set up our regular appointment for every 4-8 weeks, please help me out a bit and reach out to me!! I am doing my best to juggle two to three different peoples schedules, coordinate child care schedule and still saving enough time for myself!
The best way to reach me is my cell so if you don’t have the number I can message it to you! It also is on my page as well as my email address.
Just a reminder :
PET SITTING SCHEDULE IS OPEN. IF YOU HAVE AN EXTENDED TRIP OF 5-6 + days, PLEASE BOOK AS FAR IN ADVANCE AS POSSIBLE!! I like to be able to make schedule adjustments for those of you who want to take long trips so I can take the best care of your pets but also work my regular job as well.
As always please continue to tag me in photos of your pets, reviews of my services, etc. I love to see all your pets and your happy faces!
Sincerely,
Kayla 🐾🩷

HOLIDAY SEASON IS APPROACHING!

GET YOUR APPOINTMENTS SCHEDULED IN
ADVANCE!

CLAIM YOUR DISCOUNT NOW!!


Just as a reminder: All meet and greets are $50.
$25 goes towards your scheduled services, the other $25 is a meet and greet fee for the reserved time of 30-45 mins. if you determine NOT to schedule services you will receive $25 back.
As always : you are able to book your next appointment after your appointment! Nail trims should be done for your pet every 4-8 weeks. 4-6 weeks is ideal for most pets but some can go longer. Getting on a good routine with your pets nails can help keep the quick shorter!
It also helps reduce the risk of having your pet getting their nails caught on blankets or other surfaces and risk having to have them cut back and reduce so much avoidable cost at the vet!!
