PSA:
It's Fall and you know that means, lots of leaves and lots of ticks!
Have you or your critters been bitten by a tick?

Did you know that you can get ticks tested for FREE at the Pennsylvania Tick Research lab. PA Tick Research Lab
https://www.ticklab.org/

The Pennsylvania Tick Research Lab can analyze your tick, testing for tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

You just have to order your test online and send the tick off for analysis. You will receive the results via e-mail or text within 3 business days. You can also upgrade to pay for additional services.

I have used this service several times and it's very useful to determine whether you need to make an appointment with your vet to get antibiotics for your critters.
Take a look at the infographic below courtesy of PA Tick Research Lab to see how to best prevent ticks in your yard.
Have a happy & safe Fall from Sophie’s Friends’ Petsitting 🐾🍂

I'm a bit late in posting this, but I completed my Fear Free Certification course back in April. 🐾
This is the Pet Sitter version of the Fear Free Certification that your veterinarian may have completed (such as my favorite Veterinarian, Patton Veterinary Hospital)

As a Fear Free Certified Professional I am committed to preventing and alleviating fear, anxiety and stress in pets whilst their human parents are away.

What does this mean, you may ask?

To become certified, pet sitters are required to complete a comprehensive educational course and exam, and they also have to take continuing education to remain certified.

Fear Free’s pet sitter certification program equips pet sitters with a scientifically sound knowledge base in animal body language, dog walking, behavior and training basics, enrichment, home life, travel, administering medications, and more, so that they can offer top-level Fear Free care to pets and provide owners with basic support and advice.

As a pet parent you have taken the first step in minimizing fear, anxiety & stress by choosing a pet professional to look after your fur kids in your home. By choosing a Fear Free Certified Pet Sitter, you are taking your care to the next level by engaging a pet care professional who is trained in methods and techniques to help alleviate fear, anxiety and stress to make your pets time apart from your more enjoyable.
