Here is to endless purrs, Churus, head boops, zoomies, and cozy cat naps! 💖
Pretty Pups Walk Like This
Rocky’s got those fab lashes and the best walking vibes. Want to know what those vibes are? Simply. Being. A. Dog! 👏 At AllCompanion, we let pups be pups! Sniffing out the neighborhood gossip? Absolutely! Walking ahead? Always! Four legs move faster than two, duh! Treat-sniffing games, affirmations, and high energy — whatever makes your pup happy, we’re on it. Every walk with AllCompanion is a good time because we embrace your companion just as they are. Every pup is a pretty pup to us! 💖
During this summer, social media has taken a backseat for AllCompanion Pet Care. ☀️ 💤
While I (the one and only caregiver for ACPC…. for now!) enjoy creating educational content and sharing videos and photos of your lovely companions, I've realized that my focus has primarily been on providing companion care services and spending time with my family. With visits that start with the rising sun and wrap up at sunset nearly every day, while ensuring I fill my own cup with rest and care, there is not too much time for additional work.
As the seasons transition, I am looking forward to returning to social media and investing more effort behind-the-scenes. However, what truly matters is that each visit is and will continue to be consciously and carefully designed to prioritize your companion's comfort, safety, and enjoyment above all else! Please rest assured that whether or not ACPC shows up regularly on your social media feeds, your companions will ALWAYS receive the exceptional, individualized, and caring treatment they rightly deserve.
Your unwavering support despite my reduced social media and virtual presence means a lot to me, as does your trust and compassion. I am determined to always reciprocate by bringing even more tranquility, love, positivity, joy, and enjoyment into your family's life! 💛
Another amazingly and wonderfully busy week with my AllCompanion family. 💛🐾
I feel so blessed to know that I have the opportunity to connect with so many beautiful families. Thank you for your continued support and making that possible!

Dogs deserve to be treated with respect and allowed to exist in a way that is most natural and healthful for them. But why? And how can we make that happen?
🌎 The human species constructed a world that is centered around our own needs, desires, and egos, but we should remember to prioritize the needs and well-being of ALL thinking, living, breathing, feeling beings — especially those who we share our homes with.
🧘 Slowing down during walks and allowing dogs to explore and sniff their surroundings can be a great way to give them the freedom they need to be happy and fulfilled.
🚫 Avoid using aversive methods and equipment when training your dog, and instead seek out fear-free, compassionate professionals who prioritize positive reinforcement and respect for your dog’s autonomy.
💖 By sharing compassion and love with our dogs, we can build stronger and more meaningful relationships with them, and help them live their best lives.
How do you support your dog in living a healthy, fulfilled, and more free life?
🌍 Let’s remember that we are all part of the same interconnected web of life. As fellow animals, it is important that we recognize and respect the diversity and individuality of all living beings. We can show compassion in simple ways like being mindful of our actions, language, and choices. Let’s embrace our differences, respect our connections, share more love, and make changes to build a more just and equitable world for all.

AllCompanion turned ONE! 🤩🥳🥰 One year full of treats, cuddles, slobber, and learning galore. I am so grateful for the opportunity to get to know and care for your beyond-human family members. Thank you for supporting my small business, believing in me, and investing in your family’s wellbeing.
With all the love and gratitude,
Drae
Gordy has grown and learned so much already! 😍 And he has taught me so much along the way. I am so grateful for this chance to explore the world with him too!
** Original was deleted by me and recreated. I mentioned his “breed” and I greatly dislike discussing breeds in a general sense as it normalizes an extremely harmful industry and practice.
Freddie and Leeloo listened well to the lessons about stranger danger. 🥸
Upon my arrival each day at the tailend of last year and again this week, I would often only see their tails as they darted anywhere I wasn’t.
I take everything at their speed best I can. However, because I have to administer an insulin shot to Leeloo twice a day, we often took one step forward and three backward. Not only would she be upset, but Freddie would be too because there I went poking his sister and stressing her out. And I’m not even upset about it because if someone came by, poked me with a needle, and dipped out shortly after, I’d be upset too.
What’s different from this year versus last year is that we have midday bonding sessions without a shot, a voice recording from their mom that I play every visit (it does wonders in easing their minds), and plenty of playtime and treats. By approaching them with more confidence and trust, I feel that they’ve reciprocated as well.
Now, after a whole lot of patience, time, and very non-linear progress, Freddie walks around, accepts his favorite belly rubs, and plays with me. Leeloo will even fall asleep in the same room as me now!
Great job, Leeloo and Freddie! 👏🥰
The way my Aye-Aye lifted her tail and stepped out of her carrier with confidence has my heart so warm. 🥹 Thanks to amazing trainers and fellow beyond-human caregivers who introduced me to force-free training methods (methods that center our beyond-human family members’ consent), my kittos are becoming more confident.
For years they struggled out of their harnesses, pulled away from nail clippers, and ran at the sight of their carrier. In the last year, I reintroduced all of the above, but this time, with treats and an actual regard for what they are comfortable with. We are taking things at their speed and leaving room for them to let us know what they like and what they don’t. By encouraging them to communicate their needs and wants, and treating often, they now consent to (and even look forward to) equipment and experiences that I likely traumatized them with in the past.
I am extremely proud of this girl in particular. Her little butt is often anxious and quick to hide, but here she was today with an unwavering sense of confidence.
Yay to consent, yay to force-free methods, yay to healthier interspecies relationships, and yay to confident kittos! 🥰
Happy birthday, Betty! 👑
I hope you have a totally pawsome, treatastic, cuddly day. Congrats on another cycle around the sun, you beautiful Pisces queen!
Enjoy some freezing rain ASMR with Sully today. 🌧️
As we trekked through the melty snow under the freezing drops of rain together, Sully joyfully chased his big red ball, ate snowballs, and dug for hidden tennis balls today.
Watching him be able to freely be a dog makes my heart so warm, even on icy days like today.
Gordy and I have so much fun together now as we navigate his bitey, puppy nature!
Rather than manipulating his body or forcing him to do something he would not want to do, I encourage him to make choices of his own. With the help of many “cookies,” of course!
In our first week together, he caught onto sit, down, and touch cues. “Touch” has been extremely helpful as I am able to cue that any time he wants to hop up and bite. Now, he boops his little nose to my open palm and stays engaged with me, rather than tearing at my boot laces and pant legs. He also is learning to enjoy sniffing around, which makes me proud every time he chooses that over me!
Nuzzles and cuddles with sweet Fireball definitely were a highlight from this last week! 🥹 Even after providing three separate medications each day, she welcomed me back with a joyful vocalization and plenty of scent rubs all over my mask, hands, and boots.
