This sweet girl is Georgia. She and her brother Heinrich have been clients of mine for about a year.
Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, Heinrich passed away. I watched Georgia last week, which was the first time she had EVER been on her own overnight without either Heinrich or her mom and dad.
I thought my special bedtime tuck in service would be great for Georgia, just to help her get calmed down and ready for bed. This is a newer service that I'm very proud of. It has worked well for several pets.
The bedtime tuck in runs right after their standard bedtime potty break visit. Before the pet goes potty, I spray a pheromone calming spray in their sleeping area. Once they go potty, they come in and I turn on some pet friendly music that is specially designed to help pets relax. Once they get in bed, I lay on the floor with them. Typically the pet likes to have me really close to them as they start relaxing.
If they seem receptive, I do some light bonding touch techniques. Pets also tend to match my behavior so I slow down my breath so that they'll slow down theirs.
The pet isn't always asleep by the time I leave, but they are very relaxed and ready to drift off. I think the biggest benefit is that they are well rested and in a good mood the following morning. I think that's the best test of how the service was received by the pet.
Georgia's mom said that Georgia was in a very happy mood when they got home. She seemed relaxed and calm even after several days of me being her only company.
