🐾🌲 Pet Sitters vs. Boarding Facilities: Choosing the Best Care for Your Furry Friend This Holiday Season🌲🐾

Whether you’re visiting family, friends, or booking a fun vacation, the holidays are often the busiest time of year for traveling.

But what do you do when your plans don’t accommodate pets?

Boarding facilities can be a quick solution, but let’s take a look at some of the benefits of booking a trusted pet sitter instead👇

👉 Trust is #1-Your pets experience less stress while you’re away when they are familiar with the people taking care of them. Boarding facilities have a lot of staff your pets need to get used to. Instead, regular visits from a trusted sitter allows for your pet to form a natural bond on their own time.

👉 Personalized Care-Pet sitters offer a level of care that big boarders just can’t. Your pets are guaranteed one on one time during each visit without all the unexpected distractions of being at a boarder. We get to know each of your pet’s personalities and provide care based on their individual needs!

👉 Routines-Our furry companions thrive on routines. Their potty breaks, walks, meals, meds, and cuddles can all stay on schedule while you’re away with the help of a loyal pet sitter!

👉 Lower Risk of Getting Sick-Boarding facilities are a petri dish for germs. Pets rotate in and out constantly, bringing illnesses with them. When you book a sitter to come to your home instead, you eliminate exposing your pets to those nasty germs.

👉 Daily Updates-No need to worry if your pet is getting the proper care while you’re gone, because after each visit you will receive an update detailing how your pet is doing and all the fun they had with their sitter!

Let us help keep your pets happy and healthy this holiday season. Email us at [email protected] or call us at 843-879-0822 to book a pet sitter for your next trip! ✈️

🦃 Today’s recipe? Tasty Thanksgiving Turkey Bites!

Does your cat love treats? We thought so!😻

As Thanksgiving rolls around, treat your kitty to something special with these super simple DIY turkey treats. They’re packed with protein to keep their hearts strong, their vision sharp, and their systems purring with health.

Not only are they easy to whip up, but the recipe makes plenty, so your feline friend can enjoy a whole bunch of turkey goodness. (Pro tip: store any extras in the freezer after three days to keep them fresh and ready for snack time!)

Step one-Gather the following ingredients:

One egg
½ cup unseasoned ground turkey
½ cup whole wheat flour
½ tbsp olive oil

Step two-Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit, then mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl to form a dough.

Step three-Knead the dough into a ball and roll it out onto a floured countertop (roll until it’s about ¼ in thick)

Step four-Place on a lined baking sheet

Step five-Scour the dough into bite size shapes

1. Use a knife to score ½-inch-wide rows across the dough.
2. Next, score diagonal lines across the rows to form a diamond pattern.
3. Finally, score diagonal lines in the opposite direction, cutting the diamonds in half to create small triangles.

Step six-Bake for 20 mins

Step seven-After the treats have cooled, break off the tiny triangles and let your cat enjoy their Thanksgiving treat!🐈

🎃 Black Cats Aren't Bad Luck! 🖤

Did you know that black cats have been misinterpreted for centuries? Instead of bad luck, these mysterious felines bring joy and companionship!

Here are a few fun facts to celebrate our misunderstood pals:

🐈‍⬛ Symbols of Good Fortune: In many cultures, black cats are seen as symbols of good luck. For example, in Scotland, a black cat arriving at your home is believed to bring prosperity!

🐈‍⬛ Hollywood Heroes: From the charming sidekick in Sabrina the Teenage Witch to the mystical cat in Hocus Pocus, black cats have captured our hearts on the big screen.

🐈‍⬛ Charming Personalities: Black cats are just as loving and playful as any other color. Many owners will tell you their black cats have unique and quirky personalities!

🐈‍⬛ Adopt, Don’t Shop: Sadly, black cats are often overlooked in shelters. This October, consider adopting a black cat and giving them the loving home they deserve!

Summer is here, and at Cane Bay Pet Sitting & More, we're all about making every sunny day a fantastic adventure for your furry friends! With the mercury rising, it’s crucial to stay mindful of our pets' comfort and safety while soaking in the warmth. Here are our top tips for making those summer walks enjoyable and safe for your beloved pets. 🐾☀️

# # # Early Bird Gets the Worm... Or the Cooler Pavement!

Beat the heat by choosing to walk your pooch during the cooler parts of the day. Early morning or late evening walks are ideal to avoid the scorching sun. Remember, if the pavement is too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your pet's paws!

# # # Hydration is Key

Just like us, our pets need plenty of water during the sunnier days. Always bring along a water bottle and a portable pet bowl on your walks. Keeping your pet hydrated helps prevent overheating and ensures they stay happy and energetic throughout their outdoor adventures.

# # # Know the Signs of Overheating

Our furry companions can get overheated too. Watch out for signs such as heavy panting, drooling, trouble breathing, or weakness. If your pet shows any of these symptoms, move to a shady spot and give them water. If conditions don't improve, it’s time to call your vet.

# # # Short and Sweet

Keep walks short to prevent overexertion. Summer is a great time to play and explore, but it’s essential to prioritize your pet's health and comfort. There’s always fun to be had indoors, where it’s cooler and more comfortable.

# # # Sun Protection for Sensitive Skin

Just like humans, pets can get sunburned too, especially those with short or light-colored fur. Consider pet-safe sunscreen for your sun-sensitive pets and keep them shaded as much as possible.

At Cane Bay Pet Sitting & More, your pet’s well-being is our top priority. We're here to ensure that your pet enjoys all the joys of summer safely and comfortably. Our professional pet sitters are equipped with the experience and love needed to take the best care of your pets, whether it's during a refreshing morning walk or a cozy evening cuddle.

Heading out of town or stuck at work? We’ve got your tail covered! Let us make those sunny adventures possible for your pets, even when you're not around. 🌅🐶💕

Stay cool and have a paws-itively amazing summer, pet lovers!

At Cane Bay Pet Sitting and More, we understand that summer isn't just a time for our human clients to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather, but our furry friends too! However, with the season's heat, it's essential to keep our pets cool, comfortable, and well-hydrated. That's why we've concocted a special, pet-approved frozen treat recipe that's sure to wag some tails and make those puppy dog eyes light up. 🐾☀️

# # # Summer Berries & Banana Frozen Delight

# # # # Ingredients:

* 1 cup of blueberries (fresh or frozen)
* 1 banana
* 2 cups of unsweetened plain or Greek yogurt
* A splash of water (if needed for blending)

# # # # Instructions:

1. Begin by mashing the banana in a mixing bowl until smooth.
2. Mix in the yogurt and blueberries, stirring until evenly distributed. If you find the mixture too thick to work with, add a little water to reach a smooth, mixable consistency.
3. Spoon the mixture into ice cube trays or silicone molds designed for pet treats. For a bit of added fun, use molds shaped like bones or paws!
4. Freeze the treats for at least four hours or until solid.
5. Pop a frozen treat out and offer it to your pup on a sunny day. It's the perfect way to cool down and give them a little extra love.

Remember, treats should be given in moderation, and it's important to consider any dietary restrictions your pet may have. Always keep fresh water available, especially during the hot summer months.

These homemade treats are a hit at Cane Bay Pet Sitting and More, both for our pet sitters and the delightful pets we care for. We love sharing these special moments, capturing the joy of your pet's day, whether it's during a walk, playtime, or while savoring a delicious homemade snack. Because here, every pet is treated as family, and their happiness and well-being are our top priority.

Stay cool and have a beautiful, fun-filled summer with your furry companions! 🐕💖

Cultivating a pet-friendly garden not only enriches your outdoor space, but also provides a secure haven for your beloved companions. Here are some invaluable tips from Cane Bay Pet Sitting to help you fashion a pet-friendly garden that harmoniously blends beauty with safety.

🌷Choose Pet-Safe Plants:
In curating your garden, opt for plants that are non-toxic to pets. Avoid species such as lilies, azaleas, daffodils, and tulips, which can pose hazards if ingested. Instead, cultivate an array of pet-friendly options such as marigolds, sunflowers, roses, and a variety of herbs like lavender, catnip, and basil.

🌷Incorporate Pet-Safe Herbs:
Consider growing a selection of pet-safe herbs that not only add a delightful aroma to your garden but can also be beneficial for your furry friends. Herbs such as parsley, rosemary, and mint are not only safe for pets but can also offer health benefits when added to their diet or used as natural repellents for insects.

🌷Embrace Pet-Friendly Fruits and Veggies:
Introduce a range of safe-to-eat fruits and vegetables into your garden, providing your pets with nutritious and tasty options. Consider planting pet-friendly fruits like blueberries and strawberries, as well as vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, and zucchini, which can serve as healthy treats for your pets.

🌷Avoid Toxic Chemicals:
Eliminate the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers that contain toxic ingredients. Opt for organic options and consider planting natural insect-repelling herbs like lavender and rosemary to deter pests and maintain a chemical-free environment in your garden.
