Thank you, Tracy, for the fantastic 5 star review! ❤️

Do you know that feeling…

when the kids go back to school, and you’re at work all day—-
The dog starts chewing things, and being difficult, and super hyper?
Or maybe your dog just looks like they could use more fun in their life?
Or a brush up on those training skills?

Yeah, that feeling! We can help with that!

How about this year you avoid that whole scenario and book some exercise with us at the Canine Academy of Berwick & Kara’s Pet Care?

There’s a company out there who prides themselves on being employee focused, and professional.

On Tuesday through Thursdays, for 3 hours each day, there is continuing education for their staff. They’re always analyzing how they can learn more, Handlr dogs better, and understand our canine companions just a bit more. They study canine learning theory, and apply the most up to date training methods in every pet care appointment. They never use force or fear in working with your pet.

They have 4 veterinary technicians on staff. If your pet needs an insulin injection or to go to the veterinarian, or even just a little extra TLC, they will go the extra mile!

They’ve gone from a one-woman show to a team of 15 with 4 professional trainers on staff, because they’ve gone above and beyond to help every single client with as much humanity, knowledge, and service as possible!

Every visit, you get 15-20 photos with pictures of your pet having the time of their life. Any off leash (if you don’t have your own), and your pup with have a GPS collar attached. If you have your own, you can see where your pet is going and how far they’ve hiked. They encourage cameras in your home, so you can see all of the awesome things they’re doing with your pets.

This is a management team who pays their employees a living wage, provides full benefits to full time staff, takes proper time off (so they’re always recharged and refreshed), with full insurance & a total of 7 systems for accountability in all departments. They compensate staff according to the department of labor standards, and ethically provide a living wage to staff. They’ve seen your demand for your friends and neighbors to earn a living wage at their jobs.

They’ll check your house during every vacation visit, and let you know if anything needs to be attended to.

They’ll communicate if they have a concern about anything!

They’ll love your pet like they are their own.

You’ll have a custom visit schedule, that works best for your pet, and you’ll get GPS tracked updates each time.

Your pet can get vacation care from the comfort of their own home, in the surroundings that work for them and allow them to remain low stress!

If there’s an emergency with one pet sitter (we’re all human), you can be sure another team member will ensure your pet is cared for.

If and when they make a mistake, they rectify it immediately and with as much humanity as possible.

Great information!

We are booking for summer & holiday 2022 pet care currently - We are still offering pet care, kitty care, and dog walking services on our app Handlr through Kara's Pet Care LLC by our dog training interns and dedicated pet care professionals in staff.

We have very limited in-home overnight availability, so if that's something you're interested in, you'll want to plan it far in advance.

If you're looking for visits on major holidays, like Independence Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, School Vacation Weeks, and New Years, we highly recommend putting in your vacation care requests as soon as you know you will need us.

Once you hop on the Handlr app, please look under "request a visit" which is a link below the calendar to schedule. Computerized openings are fun!

You may want to schedule a visit with us while you're still home if you think your dog may be nervous or reactive to strangers entering your home, or if it's been a long time since you've traveled. Please check under "profile" and "edit pet details" to ensure your pet care notes are up to date. Our pet sitters/dog training interns are instructed to follow notes EXACTLY as you left them. Common information to check includes: Food Routine, Treats they're allowed to have, Home Entry information and any behavior notes (fears, phobias, etc). You'll also want to update any time frame preferences you have. You can list this right in the note when you request an appointment. "Any time between 7am and 9am is preferred, etc".

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at 207-558-3218!

Thank you!
Kara

A wonderful evening with Shiloh, Jerry, and Leo ❤️

Some of you may have heard of a recent news story about a GSD puppy and how he was "stolen" at the vets. I am here to talk to you about that. Please, do not look for that post, do not share that post, do not read that post. It only brings the media more traffic for something that absolutely does not need or deserve it.

Maine Veterinary Medical Center is a state of the art facility we are so lucky to have just about an hour north of us. I have referred countless patients to them. They are one of three emergency veterinary hospitals in the state, and have the only neurology and rehabilitation service in the state. I personally have met many of the doctors when bringing Baxter there, sobbing at their door just like any other owner would in an emergency situation. They have treated me with kindness and compassion each and every time we have gone there. And they have done the same for a lot of you.

They are being attacked online by a social media lynch mob that has only heard one very biased side of the story which vilifies them. My colleagues are suffering because of this. Hell, I'm suffering because of this, I can't stand to read the death threats against people I know and care about. Some day this could be our clinic, and what does that say about the world? So I ask of you, please, do not share this story. Do not join in on this horrific attack. Instead, if you have had positive experiences with MVMC, please share them online, and send a note to the team. They could really use it.

Many of you may know that when I'm not here being a vet, I work with Not One More Vet, Inc, which is a veterinary su***de prevention organization. We look at the things in this profession that we can change, so that we can create a brighter future for veterinary medicine. These situations do not help. They cause severe moral distress to the veterinarians and staff, in this case people who were at the root of it all just trying to help a very sick puppy. They make us vets not want to practice these good deeds. It is unfortunately the few that spoil things for the many, in so many aspects. In this case it's not even a few participating, it's all over social media (Facebook, Reddit, Twitter) which is allowing this story to continue despite the harm it is causing. This is literally preventing patients from getting the care they need. God forbid MVMC has to close, where do those patients go? We are already over taxed as a profession, especially when it comes to emergency and specialty care.

How do we fix this you guys?

Love to you all,
Dr. Emmons
