🎉🐕 As we gear up for New Year's Eve celebrations, let's remember our furry friends! Fireworks can be stressful for dogs, so here are some tips to help them stay calm and safe! Provide a comfortable, quiet area where your dog can retreat, and consider using calming aids like a weighted blanket, pheromone diffusers, soothing music or CBD Treats! Remember, a little preparation can go a long way in ensuring your dog's comfort and safety during fireworks displays. 🐾💕 #DogAnxiety #FireworksSafety #WellnessWednesday
🕒🐶 Wellness Wednesday: Establishing a routine can greatly benefit your dog's mental health. Regular schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime provide a sense of security and predictability.

🌨️🐾 Wellness Wednesday: Winter Care for Pets! Around here it hasn't happened yet, but when the temperature really starts to drops, it's important to give extra attention to our furry friends' needs. 🧣🐕 Remember that short-haired, elderly, or young pets may need extra warmth. A cozy sweater or a warm bed can make a big difference. And always wipe their paws after outdoor walks to remove ice, salt, and chemicals. Let's keep our pets comfortable and safe this winter! ❄️💕 #WellnessWednesday #WinterPetCare #StayWarm"

🍭 Indulging in Sweet Treats – A No-Go for Pups! Did you know that many sweet foods, like chocolates and candies, can be harmful to our canine companions? Dogs lack certain enzymes needed to metabolize certain ingredients found in sweets, such as theobromine in chocolate, which can be toxic to them. At The Ark Pet Hotel, we prioritize your pet's safety and well-being, so it's important to keep those tempting treats out of paw's reach. Opt for dog-friendly alternatives and let's ensure their stay is as sweet as can be, without the risks! 🐾🚫 #WellnessWednesday #SweetSafetyForPups

Did you know that dogs are much smarter than we give them credit for? 🧠🐾 Studies have shown that our furry friends can understand hundreds of words and gestures, and they can even do basic math! Not to mention, certain breeds are known for their intelligence and problem-solving skills, such as Border Collies and Poodles. It's amazing to think about the cognitive abilities of our furry friends, and how they continue to surprise and delight us with their intelligence and loyalty. 🐶💕 #dogintelligence #funfact #petlovers
Did you know that when dogs play, they use their tails to communicate with each other? A wagging tail can indicate excitement, while a tucked tail can mean fear or submission. It's amazing how these furry friends have their own language to express themselves! 🐾🐶 #dogbehavior #animalcommunication #funfact
Did you know that dental care is just as important for our furry friends as it is for us? 🦷 🐾 Regular brushing and dental check-ups can help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath in our dogs. Not to mention, poor dental health can lead to more serious health issues down the line. So let's make sure we're taking care of our pups' pearly whites by brushing their teeth regularly and scheduling regular dental check-ups with their veterinarian. A healthy mouth means a happy and healthy dog! 🐶💕 #dentalcarefordogs #pethealth #dogcare

Want your business to be the top-listed Pet Store/pet Service?
The Ark was founded by an ordinary couple of dog parents in search of a pet sitter or boarding facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Unfortunately, in 2005 there were no good options. While there were veterinarians and kennels none gave them the safe, fun, and loving feeling they wanted for their beloved fur baby. They were not alone, and they knew it, so in 2006 they opened the very first Ark Pet Spa & Hotel in Chattanooga’s North Shore. They wanted something better and knew they could create it with a strong crew around them. The Ark would be different than the competition; The Ark would provide hospitality to pets of all kinds. Like The Ark’s name and logo imply, it would be an all inclusive pet hotel and spa. Not only would The Ark provide a loving, safe, and fun environment for dogs, but it would also provide those things to all pets from cats and birds, to hamsters and even pet lizards. While the majority of the expected business was dogs they were prepared and from the start created dedicated square footage to board animals of all kinds.
They also knew that simply building an Ark would not do, they needed a strong crew to keep the business afloat. The goal was always to find honest, pet lovers to crew The Ark, but not everyone knew how to properly care for pets in a safe and fun manner, that is why they sought guidance from experts in the field. The knowledge gained from the experts trickled down to every member of the crew. To this day crew training is a key to The Ark’s success. Without a strong, loving, and well-trained crew The Ark would surely fail. They wanted to make sure that every day and every year The Ark would move forward and improve it’s staff, facilities, and systems.
