Cachou & Company Pet Sitter ~ Basic Grooming & Spa Services
Animal Advocate & Pet Owner ~ Sudbury, ON

Lori Johnston, owner of Cachou & Company started her journey into a pet business after a lifetime of being mentored by her aunt who actively rescued & re-homed cats in Sudbury throughout the 70s and 80s, volunteering with local rescue Pet Save Sudbury and after working as a veterinary assistant in 2018 & 2019. After walking away from her most recent careers in retail & fast-food management in 2020

to become primary caregiver for both of her parents, Lori found herself looking for a new, sustainable future doing something that she could fully give her heart & soul to. With her lifelong love of pets, experience caring for them and volunteering in the community to help displaced, abandoned or injured rescue dogs & cats, Lori launched her pet boarding business with a dream of building a pet resort complete with fenced in play areas, a pond, trail system, training facility and grooming salon – a place where pet owners can access all of their pet care needs and feel completely at ease that their beloved pets would be cared for with the utmost love and attention. Lori launched Cachou & Company in December of 2020 in a temporary location while she secured & renovated an appropriately zoned rural property to build her dream. She hosts both cats & dogs, cage-free & kennel-free for both daycare and boarding in an open concept facility. Located just 45 minutes west of Sudbury in Espanola, ON, Lori welcomes pets to come play, enjoy the outdoors and be social with others. She ensures plenty of exercise, a calm, quiet, safe environment and all the love and attention your pet deserves.

🚨 ATTENTION! 🚨

Public Health Sudbury & Districts has issued a boil water advisory effective immediately for all residents of Sudbury, New Sudbury, Falconbridge, and parts of Garson.

We’d like to remind everyone that this advisory applies to our pets too! During a boil water advisory, it’s recommended to provide pets with bottled water or boiled water that has been cooled before offering it to them.

Drinking contaminated water may lead to gastrointestinal upset, including vomiting and diarrhea. If your pet is experiencing any symptoms that could be related to the water advisory, please contact our clinic. 🐾

For more information, please have a read on the following link discussing a bit more about water advisories with Dr. Scott Weese! https://www.wormsandgermsblog.com/2009/09/articles/animals/dogs/boil-water-advisories-what-to-do-with-dogs/

What To Feed Your Dog - Meat Matters: Nutritionally Beneficial Meat Meals

Meat plays an important role in our pet’s bodies but not all protein sources are created equal. Your pet parent’s may have questions regarding TLC’s premium protein sources when considering what food to feed.

Ingredients, including lamb and chicken meals, are listed first in TLC Dog Food. So what is a meat meal? What are their nutritional benefits? Below we explain what a meat meal is and why we’ve chosen these quality protein sources for our food.

INGREDIENT HIGHLIGHT: WHAT IS A MEAT MEAL?
When you remove the moisture from fresh meat, you leave behind a high-quality, nutritionally beneficial ingredient called a meat meal. The process of removing the moisture from the fresh meat does not diminish the nutritional value. The chicken, lamb, and salmon meals used in TLC Pet Food contain 90% digestible protein, low ash, and valuable amino acids.

Meat meals are essentially meat ingredients minus moisture. Fresh meats contain approximately 70% water.
Meat meals have 4-5 times the nutrients found in the same quantity of fresh meat.
Meat meals are highly digestible and include low ash and valuable amino acids.

WHY MEAT MEALS?

In addition to the benefits noted above, the same quantity of meat meal has 4-5 x the nutrients found in the same weight of fresh meat. This is due to the difference in moisture. Meat meal is left with approximately 5% moisture content compared to fresh meat, 70% water. Weight matters because ingredients are listed in order and by weight. Dog food listing only fresh meat in their food must offset the weight of the water removed in cooking. Once food using only fresh meat has been cooked, the quantity of the actual meat will be significantly less than what’s listed. Therefore, the nutritional benefits from the meat diminished. This means that your pet would actually be receiving much of its protein from lower quality, plant-based sources, like potatoes or tapioca, versus high-quality sources like lamb and salmon meal found in TLC Whole Life Dog Food.

Using meat meals allow for a greater quantity to be included. The lamb, chicken, and salmon meals found in TLC Pet Food are considered the best and most nutritionally beneficial dog food ingredients available. This is the reason we choose to include them, in combination with fresh meat, in our Whole Life Dog Food.

QUALITY OF TLC’S MEAT MEALS

None of the fresh meat or meals in TLC include byproducts. There is no animal waste, like feathers, heads, feet, or entrails, and all of TLC’s meat meals include only the animal listed. For example, salmon meal = 100% salmon.

“Is that your full-time job?”

“Oh, I bet it’s so fun to play with cats and dogs all day!”

👂Sound familiar?

While pet sitting has gained recognition over the years, there are still a few misconceptions out there.

But ask any professional pet sitter or dog walker, and they’ll tell you:

this work is NO JOKE.

In a season known for pranks and punchlines (St. Patrick’s Day AND April Fool’s), we want to pause and recognize something serious: the dedication, professionalism, and heart behind professional pet-care businesses like our own.

Pet sitting isn’t for the faint of heart, and pet sitting is absolutely a real career. 💜

Professional pet sitters and dog walkers are small-business owners and vital contributors to their communities and local economies.

They are:

✔ Licensed (where required)
✔ Insured and bonded
✔ Trained in pet care and pet first aid
✔ Committed to ongoing education and professional standards

They work year-round — early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays — so pet parents can have peace of mind and pets can receive quality in-home care.

And this profession? It’s about so much more than dog walks and cat cuddles.

👉Ask any pet sitter who’s missed holidays with family, extended visits to comfort a sick pet, or felt the heartbreak of a client’s pet passing.

👉Ask the pet parent whose dog walker noticed something wasn’t right and helped save their pet’s life.

👉Ask the family whose professional pet sitter graciously agreed to sit with them as their 15-year-old cat had to be euthanized.

Spend just one day with a professional pet sitter or dog walker, and you’ll see what we know to be true:

It’s a career…a lifestyle…a passion - MY PASSION ❤️

Here at Cachou & Company we are working hard to make the world a better place every single day for pets and the people who love them 💕
