This is the perfect time to ask questions of us, see how your pets interact with us, and show us around your house and your routine with your animals so we can provide the same level of care while away. We also have standardized forms to collect contact and house information, Pet Feeding & Care Instructions, Veterinary Release Forms, Policy & Procedures and A Liability Waiver. It doesn't matter whether your pet has fins, hoofs, legs, claws, paws or none at all, we can care for them all!

Allow your pets to build a bond with us to ease their anxiety and stress from basic everyday care or even longer-term care while you’re away.

Today FurBabies & Friends had the opportunity to visit Career Day at Lowell School in Phoenix with Apollo, Simba, and Jazzy 🐾
Instead of only talking about dog grooming and training careers, we focused on something just as important, helping children learn how to safely and respectfully interact with dogs.
Students learned:
🐶 How dogs communicate through body language
🐶 Why consent matters when meeting dogs
🐶 How to safely offer treats using a flat “pizza hand”
🐶 Why we should always ask before petting a dog
🐶 Basic positive reinforcement training and fun dog tricks
The students were engaged, thoughtful, and asked some fantastic questions throughout the day. Apollo, Simba, and Jazzy did an amazing job demonstrating calm behavior, safe greetings, lure walking, beginner obedience skills, and fun tricks. Most importantly, they helped create positive experiences for students by taking treats gently, remaining patient and calm, and helping more nervous children build confidence around dogs.
Dog bite prevention and humane education start with conversations like these. Teaching children how to understand dogs helps create safer, more respectful relationships between people and animals in our community.
A huge thank you to for inviting to participate in Career Day today. We loved being part of it ❤️🐾

New Puppy Socialization Sessions. Coming this summer!! Most people think socialization = letting puppies “just play.”
That’s where things go wrong.
Unstructured play can lead to:
• Over-arousal
• Poor social skills
• Reactivity later on
Socialization should be guided, intentional, and safe.
That’s exactly what this is.
🐶 Adolescent Puppy Social & Skills Hour
✔ Trainer-supervised play
✔ Small, controlled group sizes
✔ Focus on appropriate interactions + confidence building
📍 Arrowhead Ranch
💲 $20 per puppy
👀 Parents stay and watch
Spots will be limited to keep it safe and productive.

Mayday for Mutts: The Dogs Who Deserve Everything ❤️🐾. Today is Mayday for Mutts, celebrated on the first Sunday in May, a day dedicated to recognizing and advocating for mixed-breed dogs everywhere.
But this is more than a “cute dog” post.
Mutts are:
• The overlooked shelter dogs
• The misunderstood mixes
• The ones who love just as deeply, if not more
And here’s the truth most people don’t talk about…
Many mixed-breed dogs:
✔ Tend to have fewer inherited health issues
✔ Often live longer
✔ Bring unique personalities you won’t find anywhere else
Yet they’re still the most likely to be passed over in shelters.
At FurBabies & Friends, mutts aren’t second choice.
They are the standard.
🐾 My own dogs? Rescues.
🐾 My clients? Many rescues.
🐾 The transformations I see every day? Life-changing.
👉 If you’ve ever loved a mutt, you already know…
They don’t just become part of your life.
They become your whole world.
💬 Drop a photo of your mutt below

Would You Know What To Do If It Was Your Pet? Seconds Matter. Your dog is choking.
Your cat collapses.
Your pet gets into something toxic.
Panic is natural. Being prepared is powerful.
April is National Pet First Aid Awareness Month, a reminder that emergencies happen fast, and knowing basic first aid could make all the difference while you get to a veterinarian. Organizations like the American Red Cross use April to encourage pet owners to learn life-saving skills, build emergency kits, and create a plan before disaster strikes.
Our pets trust us every day. They trust us when they’re scared, hurting, or unable to help themselves. This month is your reminder to be ready for them the same way they’re always there for you.
✔ Learn basic pet first aid
✔ Save your vet and emergency clinic numbers
✔ Build a pet emergency kit
✔ Know signs of choking, overheating, injury, and poisoning
✔ Have a transport plan in case of emergency
Because when your pet needs help, Google is too slow. Preparation is faster.
Serving pet parents across Glendale, Peoria, Phoenix, Surprise, and the West Valley, we believe responsible ownership means being ready for the unexpected.
