Pet Care

Are you considering a doggy daycare for your pup? Read on for some factors to consider when choosing a doggy daycare.

Vaccines have been incredibly efficient at preventing disease, but like all medical procedures, there can be occasional adverse reactions or unwanted side effects. Therefore, some animal guardians may prefer to use titre testing to check their dog’s immune status to specific disease, before deciding whether to administer a ‘booster’ vaccination.

We all know that our canine companions need to get enough exercise – taking them out for a decent walk twice a day is a sound plan to keep their bodies healthy and fit. But what about their minds? Giving your dog activities to keep their brain engaged is equally important to keeping your dog in a healthy, happy, and well-balanced state!

Doggy daycare is not always appropriate for young puppies. Waiting until at least 16 weeks of age before puppies go to daycare will help to protect a dog’s long-term health, behaviour, and well-being.

Grooming is important to dog welfare and many dog owners seek out grooming services. Before choosing a business there are some factors owners should consider to make sure their pet will be safe and comfortable.
