What can you do to help your pet(s) with fireworks?

🎆 bring them inside early, allowing early potty breaks. If a potty break is needed while fireworks are happening, make sure your pet is on a secure harness or double leash, and if able, securely fenced area with their primary person.
🎇 leave the tv or radio on to allow for continuous sound.
🎆 leave the lights on to make flashes less drastic, pull blinds if you have them.
🎇 stay calm yourself, as we know our pets can feed off our emotions and anxiety.

💕know that some pets may just need to hide or find their ‘nooks’; comfy kennels or under blankets/couches may offer them the security they seek. Talking to and letting them know you’re there is sometimes all we can do.

Stay safe 🐶 🐱 🐴 🦜

Fawning season is upon us! 🦌

Be wary with your outdoor pets and those Mama deer. They can be *extremely* protective and can do serious injury to our 4 legged family members.

If you have a doe and fawn(s) on your property try to divert your pets or even keep them inside.

Does your kitty gaze and slowly blink at you? Many have associated this with trust and admiration from our feline companions; sometimes a steady purr is associated.

We do our absolute best to create a calm, adoring, and comfortable environment for your pets but rarely do we get this in response and it is a wonderful reassurance that we are doing things right ❤️
