National Pet Dental Health Month

National Pet Dental Health Month is upon us.  We just wrapped up celebrating Valentine’s Day, a day devoted to treats for all the loves in our lives, including our dogs and cats. So, I thought it would be only fitting to address a common misconception regarding dental health and pets. Many people think that dental health is not a priority for our pets. I’m here to tell you that is completely false. Dogs and cats are very susceptible to exhibiting signs of periodontal disease before they ever even make to the age of three. If not treated, periodontal disease can have serious long term effects. Proper dental care should be provided for your pets just as you would provide it for the human members of your family.

Know the Signs!

Knowing the signs of potential pet dental health is key! You should be very aware of what a healthy mouth should look like in your dog and cat.  This will make spotting possible issues so much easier. Also, keep an eye out for some of the same signs of trouble as you would your human counterparts. Bad breath, broken, loose or extra teeth, bleeding and swelling of the mouth, and drooling can all be signs of periodontal disease. Furthermore, any indication that your pet is experiencing pain of the mouth or jaw, as well as refusal to eat as usual should be taken seriously.  Any of the above signs can be a flashing red light that your pet’s mouth is not as healthy as it should be.

Hi everyone!

The Summer is coming to an end, school is starting back and now that we don’t have quite so many vacation/pet sitting visits each day, we’d love to be able to add a few more regular walking clients to our schedule each week.  Our mid-day (early afternoon) schedule is just about completely full (although we do still have some availability), but we have plenty of availability in the mornings, later in the afternoons and evenings.  

Whatever you need, whether it’s an early morning walk &/or breakfast, a late morning walk, a quick potty break during the day, or a longer visit in the afternoon, we can help out.  Most of our clients have a pretty regular schedule and schedule things several weeks in advance, but we try to be as flexible as possible.  

Now comes the good part!

To help fill up our schedule, we’re offering something we’ve never offered before…50% off of ALL of your walks for the first month you’re with us.  To take advantage of this you must be a new client, book at least 3 walks per week and pre-pay for four weeks of walks when you sign up.  (after the first month you won’t have to pre-pay, you’ll be billed at the end of each week)  Also, this special is for regularly scheduled (3 or more times a week) dog walks…not pet sitting, cat visits, etc.  Although, we’d LOVE to help you out with those too.  Give us a call, we have other specials for those type visits.
