🐾 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀: 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 & 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆! ❄️🐶

Winter can make it tricky to keep pets active, but it’s crucial for their health and happiness! Try these fun ways to keep your dog engaged and fit during the colder months:

🏠 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵 & 𝗧𝘂𝗴-𝗼𝗳-𝗪𝗮𝗿 - Clear a cozy space indoors for fetch or tug-of-war! It’s a great way to burn energy without braving the cold.
🧩 𝗣𝘂𝘇𝘇𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘆𝘀 & 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 - Mental stimulation is just as important as physical! Try treat-dispensing toys or hide-and-seek with treats to keep their minds sharp.
🚶‍♂️ 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 - On milder days, head out for short walks to get some fresh air. Don’t forget to bundle up if needed and always wipe those paws after! 🧣🧤

The tail does not lie.....

🐾 Fun Fact Friday: Cat Tail Language! 🐾

Did you know? Your cat’s tail is a window into their emotions! From swishes and flicks to puffs and wraps, every tail movement reveals something about how your feline friend is feeling. 😻

Here’s a quick look at some tail-talk:

✨ 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗮𝗶𝗹: Relaxed and alert, your cat is calmly observing their surroundings.
✨ 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗶𝗽: Ready to pounce! Watch for that playful, predatory energy.
✨ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗨𝗽: Attentive and alert—your cat’s tuned in to something interesting!
✨ 𝗣𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗮𝗶𝗹: Feeling scared or threatened; time to give them space.
✨ 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗮𝗶𝗹: A friendly, social greeting—your cat is happy to see you!

Understanding these subtle movements helps deepen your bond and allows you to support your kitty when they’re happy or stressed! 🐱💙

This is a special today. 20 Years in business!

I have loved every minute...even when I was walking dogs in -5 degrees or when I get pooped on...yes, it happens. I have only had 1 really aggressive cat...I was actually a little afraid of him...but I managed.
Thanks to all my clients for trusting me with their pets and homes for all these years. I just hope I can continue for a few more years as I am at my best when I am with animals.

Thanks for the memories. Cheers to making some more.
