Riley’s Retreat

08/22/2024

Please be aware:

Some vets offices are going back to the old way of doing things, and not automatically doing the bordetella when you tell them you want “everything done” during your dog’s annual or semi annual checkup. You have to be sure you ask for it. We’ve had to turn clients away lately and do a bunch of rescheduling for the safety of their dogs and the others we care for.

This is a non negotiable policy. You must have current rabies, bordetella, and parvo/distemper vaccines to schedule any service with us. I(Becca) hear allll the stories of what other facilities do and what they allow, however this isn’t the case with me or with us. A pups health and safety comes before any dollar amount in our book💕

Our first post surgery dog, and he just so happens to be one of our own🫶🏻

This is why the specialized care room exists. This room holds a very near and dear place in my heart. I went through so many surgeries with my furchildren, Riley especially, and every single time it absolutely killed me having to leave any of them at home. All bandaged up and as pitiful as they were. Putting a camera on them allowed me to check on them, yea, but god forbid if something happened. There was no way I could get to them in time working all the way in Matthews. Everybody who’s ever been through surgery with their dog knows you can probably take the day of their surgery off of work, but you have to go right back the very next day. You have to leave your baby at home in this state, hoping and praying nothing happens while you’re gone.

Not anymore. Bring your pup to us on the critical days following surgery, and we will sit with them, monitor them, administer their pain medications, check their bandages(and make sure they don’t chew them or rip them off), put on their favorite tv show, find them the coziest softest blanket we have, and make sure they are as comfortable as possible until you’re able to get home. This room provides the constant care and that peace of mind I know you, as dog parents, need during their recovery❤️

Interesting fact.......A dog's nose print is unique, much like a person's fingerprint!

We welcome anyone who wishes to come tour the facility, but please as a courtesy to all of us, come visit during our open hours. Sat-Sun 3-6, and Mon-Friday 8-6.

Every single day we have a very tedious and relentless cleaning schedule first thing in the morning prior to opening and last thing in the evening after closing, we also have to make sure everyone is fed and taken care of properly.

We appreciate all of our current clients and future clients. This courtesy exists so we can do our job and do it better. As always, the dogs and their well being comes first❤️

Today is ASSISTANCE DOG DAY!!!!!! There are about 500,000 service dogs in the U.S. We would like to thank all of the service dogs out there for their service! Show off your service dogs in the comments. We would like to personally thank each and every one of them!!!!! Pictured below is Bella! She is a service dog for one of our local veterans. It took about one year between basic and elite classes to get her trained and certified. So next time you see a dog with a service vest on, please don't walk up and try to pet it. They are doing their job and don't need to be distracted. 💖

Have you ever taken your dog for a car ride and thought.....oh, I need to get one thing at the store. I won't be 5 minutes. my fur baby will be fine. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT fine!!!! Cars heat up fast in the summer. Please, please, please don't leave your fur baby in a car for any length of time. If you wouldn't sit in the car with the windows cracked and the engine turned off, why should your baby?

SNIFF SNIFF! Did you know dogs' butts are home to glands produce pheromones that give other dogs information about that individual such as gender, diet, and health. It's a dog's way of introducing themselves and getting to know one another. So we can be thankful it's not the same for us humans!🤣
