How do you know when your cat is in pain? While it's true that they mask pain quite well, it's also true that we can detect it--with the right tool.
The feline grimace scale app is free and very useful for pet parents and pet professionals alike.

1) Rights and responsibilities: The Feline Grimace Scale (FGS) is a tool used for acute pain assessment based on changes  in facial expressions in cats. You may use this App to learn about the Feline Grimace Scale and to assess acute pain in cats. If you have any concerns related to your cat’s he...

What makes your pet a senior or even geriatric-aged pet?
A pet at about age 7, or 75% of their expected life span is considered a senior pet.
When an animal is at 100% of their expected life span, they are considered geriatric.
While we love pets of all ages, senior and geriatric care is our specialty at Lucy's Friends!

This is such good news!

Ezra, who we liberated from a testing laboratory in November, reached an important milestone: he looked his mommy Sue in the eye for the first time! ❤️

Making eye contact is a big deal for our laboratory testing survivors. After enduring severe trauma, eye contact can be quite scary for these sweet pups. So, this is no small feat for Mr. Ezra! We are SO proud of him and so is his amazing family. We love you, buddy. 🥰

We always encourage pet parents to do their research. Know who you're hiring. Professional pet sitting companies are different. They cost more, but there's a reason for that.

If you have ever wanted to rescue a German Shepherd, here's your chance!

RESCUED BY Rescue Tails, SC!!

THIS SWEET FAMILY HAS RESCUE COMMITMENT!!

URGENT RESCUE NEEDED FOR SWEET NOVA AND SEVEN PUPPIES! RANDOLPH COUNTY NC SHELTER IS FULL‼️🆘‼️🆘‼️🆘‼️🆘‼️🆘‼️🆘‼️🆘

Meet our German Shepherd Nova and her approximately 1 week old puppies! Nova is estimated to be around 3 years of age and weighs 66.8 pounds.. She was brought to the shelter, along with her puppies, as a stray by one of our officers and they were never reclaimed. Nova has been a very loving and nurturing mother to her seven puppies (3 females, 4 males), but she does tend to be protective of her puppies. She has settled some and seems ok with staff in kennel with her babies. (See video).Nova is an easy-going girl that is as sweet as they come. Nova did great for her heartworm test and vaccines. Nova was on edge for her dog test and initially growled, but when the dog backed out of her personal space she did just fine. She is not spayed and tested negative for heartworms. Since the puppies are still nursing on Nova, she has only received her rabies vaccine and her first round of Pyrantel dewormer, but she can be vaccinated prior to leaving the shelter upon request. If you can help this beautiful family of eight, please email us at [email protected] or call us at (336) 683-8240 ASAP as our shelter is FULL.

When it's storming and your dog is upset, you abandon your nap and comfort her.

Did you know that dogs need walks? Running around their yard is good for exercise, but walks offer something a yard can't: enrichment. A walk allows your dog to see new things, experience novel terrain, and smell new scents--something dogs find particularly enjoyable. Leash walks also help dogs develop social skills.
Even dogs with physical challenges can benefit from a ride in a stroller or wagon. The time you spend together and the mental stimulation your dog will get is invaluable.

Ever wondered why your dog has to go to such great lengths to get his bedding just right?

Dogs don't just plop down in bed when they are tired. They spend lots of time preparing their bed before snuggling in for the night. Learn why at VCA.

Missing from her colony!

UPDATE: REUNITED!! Lady is home safe & sound after 4 days, 11 hours :)

"Happy Happy Happy. LADY Showed up yesterday to her stomping grounds. She walked slowly past her caretakers porch. Glanced at her friends then kept going. She showed up this morning to be fed. We have no idea where she went or what happened . Neighbors were doing yard work so maybe she got locked away and finally was able to escape. 10 plus days of not seeing her was a long time. She is Safe that's all that matters. Thank you everyone for your prayers and keeping a eye out for her. Her caregiver is thrilled she is back . She may not let us touch her but she is truely loved.

This is one of the hardest posts I've had to write.
When we started 21 years ago, it was just me. I had 2 clients--Riley and Winston. Those dogs passed away many years ago, but they marked the beginning of what I would call Lucy's Friends first generation of pets.
That group was rounded out by 2 cats, siblings named Max & Brady. We became their sitters around 2008 or so.
For 16 years, we saw their family grow and change. The human kids went to high school, then college, and one had a wedding not too long ago. We spent every Christmas with them. I had a tradition of bringing my Christmas dinner and eating with "the boys". We went through sad times--deaths in their family and mine--and many happy times. Brady passed away a few years ago, making us even more attentive to Max. All of us would spend extra time "off the clock" keeping him company.
Max and I listened to many a podcast together, and he whiled away countless afternoons on the porch, enjoying the sunshine or snoozing in my lap. In later years, Wolfgang and Jen were his caregivers. He was special and beloved by us all.
Max crossed over the rainbow bridge last month. He was the final friend in a very special chapter in the life of Lucy's Friends. He is loved and missed, and I will never eat a Christmas meal without thinking of Max & Brady.
