We see this a lot... pet parents searching for a pet sitter or dog walker, but the first comment is: "I'm looking for someone who doesn't charge an arm and a leg..."

When you consider the pet-care experience and specialized training professional pet sitters and dog walkers have and the customized care they provide, these pet-care professionals are worth FAR MORE than they charge.

Of course, you have to work within your budget, but lowest price does not mean the best option—and professional pet-care providers should be fairly compensated.

Remember, you get what you pay for—and your pets deserve quality care!

Synthetic aromas are largely made up of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which float through the air, are inhaled, and then enter the bloodstream. These highly popular aromatic liquids are actually chemicals, including lactones, benzene and aldehydes, all of which have been linked to birth defects, central nervous system disorders, neurological disorders, and/or allergic reactions, including eye, skin and respiratory symptoms.

🐾 Our animals often spend their days stuck inside our homes, unable to get away from these airborne pollutants; if your goal is to remove damaging chemicals from your family’s living environment, the first place to start is by unplugging plug-ins.

Many people don’t realize animals grieve the loss of companions and family members. Even if companion cats had a hostile relationship, the surviving cat may still grieve the loss. There’s confusion about where the other cat has gone. The cat, regardless of whether they were close or not, had neg...

Myth: All Dogs Know How to Swim Well 🐕🌊

Contrary to popular belief, not all dogs are strong swimmers, and some may not enjoy this summer activity. 🙅‍♀️

Some dogs, including brachycephalic breeds and other short-muzzled dogs, top-heavy breeds and those with short legs (such as bulldogs, pugs, dachshunds and boxers), can have difficulty swimming and may need assistance.

❗If your pet belongs to any of these breeds, introducing them to water slowly, using a dog life vest and constant support and supervision are important safety rules..

When a cat is agitated by something (such as seeing an unfamiliar cat outside), it may take some time before he returns to calm behavior again. While in that aroused state, it's best that the cat be left alone to avoid the potential risk of redirected aggression.

Some cats recover in minutes or hours, but for others, it may take days. Give your cat the space needed so he doesn't feel threatened or backed in a corner. It's important that everyone stay safe!

Scratching is such a vital aspect of cat life. Provide scratching surfaces that meet your cat's specific needs. Most cats like sisal-covered posts but you may have a cat who prefers a different texture. Offer both vertical and horizontal options. If you want your cat to stop scratching the furniture you need to offer a more appealing option. It's not about getting your cat to stop scratching -- it's about redirecting this necessary and normal behavior toward appropriate objects. When shopping for scratching posts, choose ones that are sturdy and tall. In a multicat household, offer several scratching options and place them in socially significant areas of the home. You can find more specific information on scratching behavior in my books.

Cats use multiple forms of communication to each other, the two most important being scent and body language. When it comes to how cats communicate to us, they seem to quickly learn that we respond most reliably to their various meows. I'll bet you are very skilled in differentiating your cat's "my food bowl is empty" meow from the "I want attention" meow. Many of us even have ongoing conversations with our cats. I know I do!
