Meet Finn – Our Sweet Foster Friend!

We are so lucky to know Finn, a foster pup with Stepping Stones who has completely stolen our hearts! Whenever his foster parents are away, we get to spend time with him — and let us tell you, he is the sweetest, most loving boy. ❤️

Now it’s time to help Finn find his forever home! To help make that happen, we’re pledging a $250 gift card to whoever adopts Finn — because he truly deserves the perfect family.

A huge thank you to Stepping Stones Canine Rescue for giving Finn this chance and for all the amazing work they do for pets in need here locally in Winston.

Please share this post and help us find Finn the loving home he deserves! 🏡❤️

Thank You for an Incredible February!

We are beyond grateful to our amazing clients for trusting us with your beloved pets! February was a record-breaking month for us — the largest February we've ever had — with 2,049 visits! That’s 2,049 moments of trust, care, and connection, and we don’t take a single one for granted.

Our incredible team showed up every single day with professionalism, dedication, and so much love for your pets. From early morning walks to late-night cuddles, medication administration, and everything in between — our staff handled it all with care and expertise. Their commitment to making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved is why we’re able to reach these milestones.

To our staff: We see the hard work you put in every day, the attention to detail, the gentle care during stressful moments, and the way you make every pet feel at home. You’re the reason we can provide this level of service, and we couldn’t be more proud.

To our clients: Thank you for trusting us with your fur babies. We are honored to be part of their lives and yours. Here’s to continuing to raise the standard for pet care — together. Thank you your patience as we grow!

Happy National Professional Pet Sitters Week!

We’re incredibly grateful for the team that makes Winston-Salem Dog Care what it is. Our pet sitters aren’t just animal lovers, they’re dedicated professionals who go through ongoing training every month to provide the best care possible for your pets.

Rain or shine, early mornings or late nights, they show up with love, attention, and expertise to keep your pets happy and safe. We couldn’t do this without them, and we know your pets feel the same.

If you have a favorite sitter, let us know by leaving a Google review with their name. As a special thank you, the sitter with the most reviews by the end of the month will win a $250 gift card to a store of their choice. Our staff names are all listed on our website.

Join us in celebrating our team this week. If you see your sitter, give them a big thank you or maybe a wag or a purr from your pet!

We are heartbroken by the recent developments at Forsyth County Animal Control. The news of severe violations and mistreatment of animals is unacceptable, and we cannot stay silent. As a community, we have the power to demand change.

We strongly encourage all of our clients and fellow advocates to reach out to the Forsyth County Commissioners. The next leader of this facility must have direct experience managing an operation of this size—our animals’ welfare depends on it. This shelter is funded by taxpayer dollars, and it must be run with integrity, compassion, and accountability and the "powers" need to know we won't settle for anything less.

We also urge you to support our incredible local rescues and programs that work tirelessly to pull dogs from this facility, ensuring they receive the care they deserve. These organizations need our help—whether through donations, fostering, or simply spreading awareness. Please contact us for a list of these amazing organizations. I'm afraid to list them here and miss anyone.

We can and must do better for the animals in our community. Change is possible, but only if we stand together and demand it. Let’s be the voice they need.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT MICROCHIPS ‼️

Save This Life microchip company has abruptly shut down, unregistered from the national database of microchip registrations, and are not receiving or responding to customer services inquiries via email, phone, or other communication channels.

**If you ever adopted an animal from our clinic’s adoption program between 2016-2023, they likely have a Save This Life microchip. You will want to register your chip with another business such as this FREE one --

https://www.freepetchipregistry.com/

Or by scanning any of the barcodes in the image to register through those companies.
Check your adoption records. If you can't find them, your vet can scan your pet for free with a universal scanner and tell you what company your chip is registered with and what the number is. If you know the number, but not the company, you can look it up using the AAHA Universal Microchip Look Up Tool at AAHA.org.

Not sure what's going on but Robinhood road approaching Meadowlark is completely blocked and cars are not moving at all past Jefferson. Fleetwood was in good shape and had no trouble going around that way.
I don't see any cars coming up still. Must be an accident on that big hill.
Looks like Pat's is ready. Just passed 3 of their tow trucks.

Today, we pause to honor the courage and sacrifice of the brave souls who faced unimaginable challenges on December 7, 1941. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is not only a time to reflect on the lives lost but also to recognize the resilience and unity that emerged in the face of adversity.

As a mark of respect, flags across the nation will be flown at half-mast today to honor the heroes who gave their lives and the families who endured such great loss.

This day also serves as a powerful reminder of the lessons we continue to learn from that moment in history: the importance of vigilance, unity, and striving for peace. Their sacrifices shaped our nation and their legacy reminds us to never take our freedoms for granted.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

We’re so proud of Margie and the incredible progress she’s made in learning to trust and follow her mom as her leader. It’s truly heartwarming to witness the bond they’ve built through dedication and keeping at when other trainers weren't able to allow progress. Thank you Caitlyn with Pawsitive Leash Dog Training for speaking Margie's language and helping our sweet girl excel!!

As a business that works with many trainers in the area, we’ve seen a range of approaches, and we can’t recommend positive reinforcement methods enough. Margie’s transformation is a testament to how effective and compassionate training can help dogs thrive.

Watching Margie grow more confident and comfortable in her own skin has been such a joy. Great job, Margie and Mom – we’re cheering you on every step of the way!

Pet parents, have you checked your furry pet's microchip lately? During your pet’s annual vet visit, it’s essential to confirm that their chip is working and that all contact information is up-to-date. A quick check can make all the difference in bringing your beloved pet home safely if they ever get lost.

For dogs who are known escape artists or tend to get out of open doors, we also encourage you to look into Wi-Fi collars options. GPS collars can send a notification to your phone if your pet leaves their safe area and allow you to track them on Google Maps with just a 3-second delay. At Winston-Salem Dog Care, we currently use Fi collars to keep our own pets safe and sound.

Stay proactive and keep your pets protected! 🏡❤️ "

This is an X-ray of a dog’s bent front leg. See that tiny white spec? That’s a microchip! It has migrated down the leg....far from where it was inserted, between the dog’s shoulders. This is actually quite common.....

When lost pets are scanned, the entire body SHOULD be scanned to catch any that have migrated. But, as an owner, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AT THEIR YEARLY VET EXAM, to ask for a quick scan to make sure that: (1) the chip is still working, (2) the location of the chip is good, and (3) that the chip info is correct.

Remember microchips save lives and reunite families with their pet.... just have it checked regularly!
