After nine amazing years, Cat For Dogs is coming to an end. 🐾❤️
It’s been an incredible journey—so many wonderful dogs, so many kind owners, and so many moments I’ll never forget.
This fall, we’re moving back to France… and a new chapter begins. 🇫🇷

see more....

For the past nine years, I’ve had the privilege of training and boarding hundreds of amazing dogs and meeting so many kind, caring owners. It’s been hard work, but every moment was worth it. Your trust, your smiles, and the little chats at pick-up and drop-off brought so much joy to my days.

This fall, we’ll be moving back to France. I’ve missed my family, my friends, my mountains, and skiing… but leaving here is bittersweet. I will miss the wonderful friends I’ve made and this country that has given me so much over the past 25 years.

I’ll keep this page open to share the new adventures of Dali, Ginger, Tango, Ziggy, and Chagall as they discover their new life in the Alps.

From the bottom of my heart—thank you. Thank you for your trust, your friendship, and for letting me be a part of your dogs’ lives.
Take care, y’all. ❤️🐾

Et comme on dit chez moi… ce n’est qu’un au revoir. 🇫🇷

Preventing unwanted litters is a goal we all share—but it's time to rethink the surgical approach. Hysterectomies and vasectomies, which preserve hormonal balance, can safely be performed as early as 8 weeks of age, making dogs sterile without disrupting their natural hormones.

In this study, researchers looked at whether the age at which dogs were spayed or neutered, meaning how long they were exposed to their natural s*x hormones, affected how healthy they were in old age. They studied a group of long-lived pet dogs to learn what helps dogs live longer, healthier lives. Dogs with the fewest age-related health problems were considered the most “robust.”

The results showed that both male and female dogs who kept their hormones longer (i.e., were spayed or neutered later) were 3 to 10 times more likely to be healthy in old age compared to those altered earlier. Once hormone exposure and age were taken into account, there was no difference in old-age health between males and females.

This study highlights how important s*x hormones may be for staying healthy later in life and shows that early-life decisions—like when to spay or neuter—can have long-term effects on health.
