UPDATE!! - Midnight found his way home last night!

Mom is thrilled to have him back. He is a bit tired and has lost some weight, but other than that, he seems just fine. If only he could talk, I bet he has some crazy stories to tell of all the adventures he's been on this past week.

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who helped us spread the word! Your support has meant so much to both Mom and our team. 🥰

Autumn is right around the corner and you want to take your furbaby out to enjoy the changing seasons! 🍂🍁 Here is a list of some fun activities for you and your pet to enjoy this Fall!

🐾Photoshoot! 📸 Find a dog-friendly park or hiking area and take advantage of the changing foliage. Bring props, accessories, and plenty of treats to get the best pics and have a great day of memories
🐾Hiking! 🏞 Speaking of hiking, get your pup out there! Let them run around in the leaves and sniff all of the wonderful fall smells. They need the exercise and will love spending time outdoors with you!
🐾Bring them apple picking! 🍎 Most pups love apples and most places love having furry friends around, make sure you check in beforehand and have plenty of food and water!
🐾Game Day! 🏈 Sure, they may not understand football but they understand the excitement! Make them a part of game day traditions with pet-friendly snacks and a jersey so they can help you represent your team!
🐾Plan a family costume! 🥸 Get your pet in the spirit by including them in your costume ideas! Get creative and see what interesting costumes your pets can wear. Maybe even host a pet costume contest, the sky is the limit!

(Friendly remember to always obey the laws and rules of the area you're in and supervise your pet at all times! No one knows your baby better than you, do not do activities your pet does not enjoy)

June is National Pet Preparedness Month!🐕🐈🐠 Hurricanes⛈, flooding🌊, tornados🌪, and fires🔥 can happen at any point and it's our job as pet owners to keep our fur families safe and comfortable during these difficult, and often, unforeseen events. Here are a few tips to help you and your pet be better prepared for any natural disaster
🐾Have 3-10 days worth of food and plenty of water. don't forget bowls or some kind of receptacle to put the food/water in
🐾Pack any medications your pet is on and a first-aid kit to help with injuries that might occur
🐾Don't forget to pack any sanitary supplies (poopbags, litterbox, cleaners, etc) to clean up after your pets
🐾Have a leash and collar for your pet and if you can, a pet carrier can be a huge help with transport and keeping your pet contained during times like these

Summer is coming and we can't be any more excited 😎 Going away this Memorial Day Weekend? Traveling over the summer break? Here are a few tips for traveling with your pets:🐶🐱
🐾 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝘁 If your pet gets nervous traveling by car or plane or generally gets anxious in new environments, it might be better to leave them at home and/or in the care of a trusted loved one. I know we want to bring them along and share everything we can with them but, sometimes it is in their best interest to be happy and safe in a place they are most comfortable. 🏡
🐾𝗘𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 From where you will be staying to the rest stops on the way to the activities being planned, make sure the places you go are okay with having pets around (or that your furbaby has a safe, clean place to stay while you're out and about)🐕
🐾 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 That being said, a trip with your pet needs to be well planned. Make sure you have all supplies your pet will need as well as extra, unexpected events can always occur! 🗓
🐾𝗜𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲 Try to book direct flights when possible and always check in with your airline well in advance! Most places require up-to-date vaccinations/paperwork and some countries even require a visa or passport for traveling pets. Also, make sure the crate is big enough for your pet to be comfortable and also identifiable so it won't get lost in all the commotion✈️
