• OTC topicals can be risky—they may be under-dosed or harmful, especially for small or sensitive dogs.
• Consult your veterinarian on the right option: oral chewables (NexGard, Simparica), longer-lasting collars (Seresto), or vet-grade topicals.
• Proper dosing and timing protect YOUR dog, our boarding home, and the broader PA pet community.

Okay guys-this proves it! SHOW ME ALL THE PRT PHOTOS❤️❤️

Researchers from Concordia University found that sharing cute animal content like images memes, or videos can actually strengthens your friendships. Whether it’s a cat in a costume or a baby capybara in a tub, these digital “gifts” act like small gestures of connection, almost like a penguin offering pebbles to a mate. According to Newsweek, the researchers call it a form of “digital pebbling”, signaling affection, attention, and thoughtfulness.

It’s not just about the image itself, it’s the emotional cue it carries. When you send a funny cat or a sleepy sloth, you’re saying, “I thought of you,” which helps maintain closeness, especially in online or long-distance friendships.

In a world where many of our relationships live in text threads and group chats, these small, joyful interruptions remind people they matter. It’s not about the goat in pajamas, it’s about the moment of shared delight it brings. So yes, keep sending the baby ducks and sleepy sloths. You’re not wasting time, you’re nurturing your social garden, one fluffy meme at a time.

Having cats doesn’t mean you can’t have flowers—you just have to be mindful of which ones! 💐 These flowers are all safe, should your cat choose to sneak a nibble.

Please be careful!

Heat stroke is real! Keep the pups cool!

FRIENDLY REMINDER: As many gear up for the impending heat wave, it's important to watch where you (and your pets) are walking. As air temperatures surge into the 90s, both concrete and asphalt temperatures will catapult to dangerous levels. That can burn your pups paws if you're not careful.

We are not encouraging you to buy & feed to cats, post is meant for someone wanting to buy flowers for a person. Links provided for more information.

Lastly, if you ever suspect your pet has eaten a plant, even a non-toxic one, keep a close eye on them. While these plants are safe, ingesting any plant material can potentially cause mild tummy troubles.

Let me introduce you to little Miss Molly! She’s a sweet little girl that I’ve had the pleasure of kitty-sitting. My clients saved her as a baby after she was found outside at 12 weeks old with no mom. They have tried everything to make her part of their family, but unfortunately, her little kitten self just wants to love and play…..and their senior kitties just aren’t having it. She is so sweet and gentle and is now looking for a family who can give her love.
