Did you know more pets go missing on July 4th than any other day of the year? Fireworks, parties, and heat can all pose serious risks. Here are a few key ways to keep your furry family members safe:

Before the celebrations:
✅ Make sure your pet’s ID tags and microchip are up to date.
✅ Get in a long walk or play session to burn energy.
✅ Create a comfy safe space indoors with curtains closed and calming music.

During fireworks:
✅ Keep pets securely inside, even if they’re usually fine outdoors.
✅ Never bring them to fireworks shows or crowded events.
✅ If they need potty breaks, use a leash and stay close.

Watch out for BBQ and summer hazards:
✅ Avoid giving table scraps, bones, alcohol, and greasy foods can be dangerous.
✅ Keep glow sticks and citronella candles out of reach.
✅ Make sure there’s always fresh water available.

If your pet shows signs of anxiety like shaking, panting, or trying to hide, comfort them without forcing interaction. Some pets may benefit from calming aids, talk to your vet if needed!

Let’s help our pets feel safe and loved this Independence Day!

🚨 Service Update! 🚨
I’m no longer accepting new in-home overnight bookings, but I’m excited to offer “Almost Overnight” Care as a cozy, flexible alternative. Your pets still get morning, midday, and evening visits, plenty of love, structure, and care.

This may be a temporary decision.

We’ve also expanded our service area! 🐾

Love always,
Eve 💛

Heat Wave Pet Safety Tips ☀️
With extreme heat comes extra responsibility. Here's how to help all your animals stay cool, hydrated, and safe:

For Dogs🐶

Always offer fresh, cool (not ice-cold) water
Caution: Avoid giving large amounts of ice water immediately after intense activity. This can shock their system or cause stomach upset. Offer cool water instead and let them drink slowly. Ice chips or small cubes are okay in moderation.

Avoid midday walks as hot pavement can burn paws. Walk early morning or after sundown and do the 5-second paw test on the ground.

Cooling treats like frozen broth cubes, sliced cucumbers, or dog-safe popsicles.

Keep dogs inside with fans or AC. Cooling mats, damp towels, or frozen water bottles wrapped in cloth are great, too.

Never leave them in the car even with the windows cracked, temps can spike dangerously fast.

For Cats🐱

Cats often hide in hot places like sheds or under decks. Make sure they’re cool and safe inside.

Try ice cubes in their bowl, offer wet food, or use a pet water fountain to entice more drinking.

Cats love cool tile floors. Offer frozen water bottles wrapped in towels in their favorite nap areas.

For Small Animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc.)🐹
Place frozen water bottles near (not touching) their enclosure to cool the air.

Use fans near cages but not blowing directly on them.

If they're housed outside, move them inside during heat waves.

Offer safe fruits like cucumber or small pieces of watermelon (no seeds!).

For Farm Animals🐮
Check and refill water sources frequently. Ensure access to clean, shaded water troughs.

Use tarps, shelters, or trees to provide relief from the sun.

If you have access, use misters/fans in barns or coops to reduce heat.

Consider adding animal-safe electrolyte supplements to their water (ask your vet for guidance).

For Wildlife🐰
Leave out shallow dishes of water in shaded areas for birds, squirrels, and other wildlife.

Avoid trimming back natural cover, plants and shrubs give wildlife much-needed shade.

Let’s keep every critter safe during this heat wave!

🚨 Heat Advisory! 🚨
Temps are soaring this week and next, and your pets safety comes first. Due to extreme heat, outdoor time and walks will be limited during peak hours to avoid the risk of heatstroke and burned paw pads.

Don’t worry! We’ll make sure your pets stay cool, hydrated, and cared for with plenty of water, indoor enrichment, and love.

Thanks for understanding while we keep your furry family members safe! 💛

It's that time of year again when we begin to think about the 4th of July intake. 🐶 🎆
In an effort to help dog owners be reunited quickly should your best friend find themselves in an unfortunate situation we will be offering microchip clinics twice a week up until the 4th.
To keep pets safe ensure they have both a microchip and updated ID tags, as fireworks can cause them to become frightened and potentially run away. Microchips are a reliable, permanent form of identification, and updating your contact information with the microchip registry is crucial. Additionally, make sure your pet is wearing a collar with an ID tag that includes your current contact information. Simply writing your phone number on the collar with permanent marker. Any form of ID is better than none.
