Happy Memorial Day! As we honor the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives to serve our country, let's also take a moment for the military working dogs who have given everything to protect their handlers and countless civilians. Working dogs have served alongside soldiers in EVERY major conflict, and the bonds they share are remarkable.

Friendly reminder to keep your leftover Easter basket goodies out of reach from your pets!

Common fillers like chocolates, sugar-free candies (xylitol), Easter grass, and stuffed toys can harm pets, especially cats and dogs. As we dive back into a busy workweek, it can be easy to forget about these new items and how they might entice our curious companions!

Why should you choose cremation for your pet? Well, many communities have ordinances in place prohibiting owners from using traditional burial methods near their homes. Not to mention, people move around more frequently and buried pet remains can't relocate with families. Cremation is a more affordable option than it has been in the past, and gives you the flexibility to honor your pet however you choose.

Saying goodbye is the most challenging part of caring for your four-legged companion. Nobody wants to think about that day, but it becomes inevitable as our pets grow older. That's why Companions For Life offers preplanning for pet cremation. If our services are needed, we're just a phone call away, and we already know your wishes.

Answer the tough questions now so you can focus on your pet, your family, and your own grief when that time comes.

Some Valentine's dates come and go, but your furry friends don't need Cupid's arrows — they are always willing to be your "pawfect" companion! Snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie, or give them a pet-friendly treat to show some extra love.

❄️ 🧺 After each walk, dry your pet’s feet and stomach to remove ice, salt, and chemicals. You may want to consider trimming the fur between their pads to prevent ice buildup. We'd recommend bringing a towel on walks to clean off stinging and irritated paws if they're not wearing booties.

01/17/2024

Thank you for your kind words Alex, we're sorry for your loss. We strive to assist pet parents with compassion through these difficult times, listening to them intently and serving all their wants & needs as specified.

Happy PAW-lidays from Companions for Life 🐾

12/20/2023

Winter's chill is upon us, and safeguarding your furry friend from the cold is crucial. Snow and ice pose risks of frostbite and can dry out their precious paws. Watch out for chemical melting agents, too. Consider investing in protective pet boots or consult your vet for advice on paw balms and other barriers. ❄️🐾

Anticipatory grief, often overlooked, can be as challenging as the grief after a loss. As pet parents, acknowledging the limited time with our beloved companions is tough, especially when contemplating end-of-life decisions. Many describe managing these emotions as 'overwhelming,' 'isolating,' and 'painful.'

At Companions For Life, we provide a free 24/7 GriefCare Line for pet parents seeking support during these difficult times at 319-362-5929.
