ZOOM! 💨

We’ve had some high energy groups lately, which means everybody got in on the playtime!

Happy Monday everybody! 😍

We love our enrichment plans every day, but today specifically we hid treats in boxes/paper cups, and let our daycare dogs go wild!

While some dogs don't care for tearing stuff up, other dogs LOVE it - your couch will thank us! 😉

Believe it or not, destroying stuff is instinctual to dogs (look at what happens when they get a new stuffed toy!), and it is fantastic mental stimulation. By scratching this "itch" in a controlled environment, we can fulfill the mental needs of the dog AND prevent future home destruction. Win-win!

Enjoying some warmer weather ☀️! Lots of excitement in daycare as of late!

Baxter & Abe killed it in group obedience today! We spent a lot of time on our down stays! 💗

We just want to brag about our native stone for a moment. Our building is old - with original construction as early as 1910 - and it is so BEAUTIFUL 🐾❤️🌻

Kansas stone, primarily made of limestone, has unique temperature control properties which make it an interesting choice for building construction and we are so proud of our Kansas heritage at Sunflower Pet 🌻🐾❤️

Our Native stone has high thermal mass, meaning it can absorb and store heat during the day and release it slowly at night. This helps to moderate indoor temperatures, reducing the need for additional heating or cooling.

While the stone itself is not a highly insulating material, the construction techniques used can enhance thermal performance. For instance, thick walls made of native stone like ours provide better insulation than thin walls constructed of wood frame and drywall.

Buildings made from Kansas stone often benefit from natural cooling effects. The stone can keep interiors cooler during hot summer months, especially when combined with proper ventilation strategies.

Due to its thermal properties, buildings constructed with Kansas stone can lead to lower energy costs. The natural ability of the stone to regulate temperature helps maintain comfortable indoor climates with less reliance on HVAC systems.

Using locally sourced materials like Kansas stone reduces the environmental impact associated with transportation and supports local economies. Its durability also means that buildings can last for generations just like ours, further contributing to sustainability.

The natural look and feel of Kansas stone can create a warm and inviting atmosphere, promoting occupant comfort while also having functional temperature control properties.

I think when it’s time to replace the single-pane windows here, we may just go with stained glass. It’s so pretty even with tapestries for time being.

How is Sunflower Pet PlayCare Different from other daycares?

We understand the importance of having true pet care professionals.

Our team is well-versed in dog body language and nonverbal interactions with dogs to safely oversee doggie daycare playgroups and advocate for the right type of behavior.

Behavioral Advocacy is practiced DAILY at Sunflower Pet. We speak DOG and can advocate for the needs of each dog based on their own unique temperament— this means adjusting playgroups to ensure compatibility, which can prevent behavioral problems and enhance each dog's experience.

We see far too many dogs who initially thrive in larger settings with minimal intervention from young or inexperienced handlers, but eventually the lack of advocacy for their space or their own desires, needs, or behaviors causes REAL issues for the group. At that point, standard procedure elsewhere is to eject them from group play rather than get to the root of the problem.

Don’t let poor group management (or lack of management altogether) let you believe your pets aren’t social or don’t “want” to interact anymore. A majority of the time that isn’t the case at all - they just need someone to advocate for their own individual needs in the group setting. Give us a call - because that’s what we do *every* day here at Sunflower Pet.

Olive.

Olive - and dog-reactive/dog-selective dogs like her - are WHY we do what we do at PlayCare.

Small groups. No pressure. No rush. Relaxed setting.

She’s gone from attacking every dog who even breathed in her direction, to PLAYING - rouuuugggghhhh- with a dog twice her size.

It’s all about building confidence, strengthening their communication skills, and finding the right fur-iends for her who won’t push her boundaries, which she expresses very clearly.

[Don’t mind the trashed back yard. 5 kids and 7 dogs will do that in 22 seconds flat]

Recent Pictures featuring Abe, who did fantastic on his evaluation, and he'll be an amazing addition to our PlayCare program 😍 He stole the hearts of both our staff, and our other daycare dogs!

Meet Abe! He is absolutely the goodest boy, but he needed something a little bit different than what the average doggie daycare offers. He had his first day here at Sunflower Pet and let’s just say ⭐️SUCCESS⭐️ was an understatement.

Smaller, selective doggie daycare groups like the ones we curate here at Sunflower Pet, offer several advantages for dogs as individuals compared to the larger group settings you’re likely to find elsewhere.

Here’s how Sunflower Pet is different!

Personalized Attention🌻 In smaller groups, staff can provide more individualized care and supervision, ensuring that each dog receives the attention they need. This can help address specific behavioral or social needs.

Reduced Stress🌻 Large groups can be overwhelming for some dogs, leading to stress and anxiety. Smaller groups create a calmer environment where dogs can feel more secure and relaxed.

Better Socialization🌻 Smaller groups allow for more controlled interactions, which can help dogs learn appropriate social skills without the chaos and potential conflicts that can arise in larger settings.

Safety🌻 With fewer dogs to monitor, staff can quickly identify and address any signs of aggression or discomfort, reducing the risk of incidents.

Enhanced Bonding🌻 Dogs in smaller groups have more opportunities to bond with each other and with caregivers. This can lead to better overall behavior and a more enjoyable experience for the dogs.

Tailored Activities 🌻 PlayCare attendants can customize activities to suit the specific needs and energy levels of the dogs in the group, ensuring that all dogs are engaged and happy.

Health Monitoring 🌻 In smaller settings, staff can more easily observe changes in a dog’s behavior or health, allowing for quicker responses to any issues that may arise.

Overall, we have found in our almost 2 decades of experience, that smaller, selective doggie daycare groups can provide a safer, more enriching experience that caters to the unique needs of each dog. Check out our photos daily and see the difference 🐾❤️🌻

You might notice that our salon is not hopping with pets coming and going all hours of the day. We are not an assembly line salon, and our goal is not completing as many pets as we can, as quickly as possible. Rather, our goal is to create an enjoyable environment and provide a comfortable, happy experience for all pets. We won’t rush them.

The significance of patience and strategies to alleviate fear is paramount for professional pet groomers like the ones you’ll meet at Sunflower Pet, as these elements greatly influence both the grooming experience and the animal's well-being.

Here’s an overview of their importance to us right here at :

🐾🌻Importance of Patience🌻🐾

❤️Fostering Trust: Many pets may arrive at the salon feeling anxious or scared. Our patient groomers allow them the time to acclimate to the new environment and the grooming process, which helps establish trust.

❤️Handling Difficult Behaviors: Pets might resist grooming due to fear or discomfort. A patient and calm approach enables our groomers to manage these situations effectively, reducing the risk of injury to both the pet and the groomer.

❤️Ensuring Quality Grooming: Patience allows groomers to carefully execute each grooming task, ensuring that every detail is attended to and resulting in high-quality outcomes that promote the pet’s health and comfort.

❤️Creating a Positive Experience: A patient demeanor helps create a more enjoyable grooming session, leading to satisfied clients and increased confidence for the pets.

❤️🐾Fear-Relieving Techniques🐾❤️

🌻Desensitization: Gradually exposing pets to grooming tools and techniques can help reduce their fear over time. This could involve letting them see and sniff the tools before actually using them.

🌻Calm Environment: Establishing a tranquil atmosphere can significantly help in reducing anxiety. Playing music, ensuring a comfortable space, and using *gentle* handling techniques can create a soothing experience.

🌻Positive Reinforcement: Utilizing treats and praise during the grooming process helps pets associate grooming with positive experiences, which can diminish their fear and anxiety.

🌻Gentle Handling: It's crucial for groomers to recognize and respect a pet's comfort levels. Being attentive to their body language can help identify signs of discomfort, allowing the groomer to adjust their approach accordingly.

🌻Offering Breaks: Allowing pets to take breaks during grooming can help them feel more relaxed and less overwhelmed, making the process smoother for everyone involved.

By embodying patience and implementing effective fear-relieving techniques, our Professional Pet Groomers can ensure a more pleasant experience for both pets and their owners, fostering better relationships and promoting the overall well-being of the animals in our care.
