When you hire The Pet Gal, you're not only hiring a caring, compassionate, and loving professional, but you're also hiring the knowledge and education that comes with your vetted and pet CPR/First Aid certified sitter.
Pet Gal Shelly has been with TPG for over 6 years, and her quick thinking and CPR knowledge saved a dehydrated dog this morning. Way to go, Shelly! We ❤️ you!!
PET GAL SHELLY--A REAL HUMANE HERO!
We would like to share an experience from today with all of you. One of our clients reached out to let us know that Pet Gal Shelly saved a neighbor's dog from certain death! The neighbor forgot that she left her dog outside and went to run errands--in this heat, that can certainly be deadly! Our client and Shelly heard the dog's painful screams. He couldn't stand, and his head was flopping around. Pet Gal Shelly sprung into action and saved this dog's life! The client told us, That dog would have died without her. Bo and I would be hopeless without her! She is a true gem!
"I heard his yelping right when I got out of the car. I followed his cry and found him. I immediately climbed the fence to check if he had anything broken and picked him up to calm him down. I kept giving him water and he started to get better!"
When the neighbor arrived home, Shelly recommended that he take the dog to the vet for fluids. We recognized Shelly for her actions and issued her a $150 spot bonus. We want to remind our team and clients about the importance of acquiring and maintaining certification in Pet CPR and First Aid training. You may someday also need to step in to save a beloved pet!
