Pink Magnolia Pet Care

12/15/2024

As a pet care provider, it's essential to understand and interpret dog body language and behavior. That’s why I train my dog weekly with James Baynard from Baynard Behavior Academy. it's not just about keeping my dog well-mannered, but also about being the best care provider I can be. By understanding the needs and signals of dogs, I can offer better, more attentive care for all the pets I work with.
If you’re in need of a trainer, whether it is for building engagement, basic obedience, or foundational work for sports, reach out to James. He’s the best.

Two years ago I decided that I would slowly start building a pet care business. I started with one family who needed me for their older dog only when they went out of town, one person who needed me to scoop their yard weekly, and one family who needed me a couple of days a week to scoop their yard and let their pups out to potty and play. I wasn’t marketing myself at this point, only responding to search posts if I felt the job would be a good fit. My business started picking up when two wonderful clients of mine made posts about me on facebook and two other pet care providers referred me to people they weren’t able to service. At that point I decided to pick out a business name and role with it.
This week is my first week of having a full schedule of regular weekly clients. I am booked from 10:00-2:30 Monday through Friday which has been my goal for a few months now.
I want to thank each and every one of you who have used my services, or recommended me to someone. I truly appreciate everyone who has supported me through this journey. I look forward to caring for many more pets in the future.
Side note: there was no way I could post a photo of every pet I care for, so I posted my weekly regulars.

Please be careful, especially if you’re out hiking or in a place where you can get close to wildlife. Also be careful when dealing with stray dogs and cats. Please call the proper agencies if you suspect they are acting off.

Good morning H@H family!

As you may have seen, we made a detailed post back on October 30th (it’s pinned on our page) about the rise in Rabies cases within the past few months. Unfortunately, there continue to be new cases almost weekly adding at least 4 to the growing total.

As of November 16th, Harford County has had 20+, Baltimore County has had 15+, and Cecil County has had 4+ confirmed cases. Within the entire state of Maryland, there have been 203+ confirmed cases*. The majority of the cases are raccoons 🦝 which are high in population in our area.

Again, PLEASE make sure your pets are up-to-date on their vaccines. If you or your pet have come into contact with a wild animal, please contact your county’s health department as soon as possible. You can check out our previous post for contact details and other important information. You can reference this chart for more information - we hope it is updated frequently to reflect accurate numbers. The Cecil County number is inaccurate at this time.https://health.maryland.gov/phpa/OIDEOR/CZVBD/Shared%20Documents/Laboratory%20Confirmed_jurisdiction_species_2024.pdf

Stay safe everyone!!🐾
H@H💜💙

*The “+” were added to the numbers as they are changing so quickly.

Remember to throw chip bags away. Dogs are always looking for food but if they get their heads into a chip bag it can be detrimental

Sadly, this heartbroken family lost their beautiful 7 year old Border Collie named Kindle on Wednesday when she suffocated in a chip bag. Wendy Jordan, a professional dog trainer, says, "I can’t write now. It’s too raw. I have warned people for years about Pet Suffocation. I’m a dog trainer/business owner by profession. And today, because I left a chip bag on a table, in an area I thought the dogs didn't have access to but knew they sometimes could get through, my best dog of my pack is gone. She opened the gate to the deck, went up the steps, got the chip bag, took it down the steps, even spilling some of the chips, and then somehow accessed the inside and suffocated. She was right beside my gate where she is used to entering and exiting the yard. I’m devastated. I may never buy a bag of chips again. I used to worry about this when my kids were young, and I warned my kids when they left home with their dogs, and yet one freak accident, and I’m the one it happens to."

Even though someone may already know about pet suffocation and take all safety precautions, accidents can still happen. We can only do our best. Kindle was a very determined pup. Her story will help save other pets from this happening to them. Please help us spread awareness. Thank you.

More research into when to spay or neuter your dog. Definitely something worth looking into before you decide to alter your pet.

July is filling quickly as well. If you think you’ll need pet care let me know.
