He guys! Jodi here. I’m thinking about opening Max’s Playground back up through Sniffspot on a limited basis this spring and summer. Any interest?

have fun tonight and keep your pets safe! Keep Halloween candy far away from dogs. Going to sleep after a long night of trick or treating? Make sure that candy is securely put away before you do! Animal Advocates of Greater Lafayette

For the feral cats in your neighborhood. STRAW ONLY..no fabric cause it will cause condensation and the fabric will become frozen to the cat 🐈‍⬛

We are getting excited about building outdoor cat shelters soon! Doing it yourself? That's great! Remember---it's STRAW (not hay) for outdoor cat shelters! Great info below from our friends at Cat Allies . Stay tuned to our page for updates about the shelters--info about the distribution coming in early November! Advocates of Greater Lafayette

Straw, not Hay, for Outdoor Cat Shelters
An outdoor cat house filled with straw, not hay, will keep your feline friends warm and cozy during the winter. The difference between straw and hay may seem mundane, but it can actually make a world of difference for cats. They look similar, but while straw makes excellent bedding for outdoor cat shelters, hay becomes a soggy mess.

Use Straw not Hay. Hay is typically used to feed animals, like horses. It soaks up moisture, making it cold and uncomfortable for catsand has the potential to get moldy. And in the winter, a wet bed can even be dangerous, making cats more likely to get sick.

Straw, the dry leftover stalks from harvested crops, repels moisture, making it the best bedding for outdoor cat shelters. Loosely pack the straw in the shelter to the quarter or halfway point. That’s it!

The easiest way to tell the difference between straw and hay is the price: hay generally costs two or three times more than straw. Straw is tough, thick, lightweight, and yellow or golden. Hay is usually heavy and green, but there are varieties, so if you aren’t sure...ask the clerk!

With this dangerous heat remember you can book 30 minute sessions. An hour has been too long for most of the pups visiting. Stay 🆒 everyone and Thank you all for supporting Max’s🩶

Take great care on concrete walkways or roads. Doggies can burn their feet. Shade, water, AC.

Walking the trails today! Bring a bowl when you book. They’ll be done by the weekend probably.

🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️To all our Sniffspot guests: We’d like to recommend using some form of tick and flea treatment before visiting. Oral or topical because Ticks are plentiful out here. We treat ours all year round except 3 of the coldest winter months because their daily walks are not on sidewalks or short manicured grass. Lyme disease is awful for dogs AND humans. Instead of treating with harsh, poisonous, chemicals on the property we’ve decided to pass that responsibility on to the pet parents. We appreciate each and every one of you and we hope you reach out to us with any concerns you have! Have a tail waggin day 🦮🐕🐕‍🦺🐩

Ok guys! Because of unexpectedly adding a new fur baby to OUR family and him being so very sick, our playground has been out of commission for about 2 weeks. We will be reopening this Saturday!!! We appreciate your understanding and patience. The time has been well spent! R***r is healthy and wants us to tell y’all to get your tails back out here ♥️ We’ve MISSED YOU and are looking forward to seeing all the new faces too!~Delbert & Jodi
