Mindful Dog Mom

🐾 CALLING ALL LAS VEGAS PET BUSINESSES 🗣️

If you own or operate a pet-friendly business in the Las Vegas Valley, I'd love to have you be part of Vegas Pet Pros and for you to apply to be listed in our growing local pet directory!

A little backstory: This directory originally started as Mindful Dog Mom, but I decided to rebrand it because I wanted to create something more inclusive of our entire pet community.

My original vision came from wanting to help pet parents make more informed & intentional choices about their pets' health and wellness. But as the idea grew, I realized that my reach was limited as sometimes people just need help finding a reliable pet sitter, a groomer they can trust, or a trainer who understands their dog after a less-than-great experience especially with a big booking platform like Rover, they just want to know there are other local options and connect with established professionals who are invested in this industry beyond a side hustle.

I want Vegas Pet Pros to make those connections easier, no matter what kind of pet care someone is looking for as they deserve an easier way to find the right people to help care for their pets. I also want to support the people behind the scenes who make our pet community so special!

Now here's where I need YOUR HELP!!! I'm still building things out, so I'm looking for:
🐶 Local pet businesses interested in creating a listing and being featured!
🐾 Feedback of the little bits of dog hair around the website that need cleaning up!
💡 Suggestions for features and resources you'd love to see in the future!

My goal is to build this alongside the community, not just for the community. 🥲

If you own a pet business, know someone who does, or simply want to see a better way to connect Las Vegas pet parents with local pet professionals, please share this post!

Thanks for helping me bring this little (okay, not so little) idea to life! ❤️

My first year without Lily, my second without Dixon, and my fifth without Luna…💔

It never gets easier learning to live without them, but tonight, I’m lighting a candle, leaving snackies out, and hoping my sweet girl visits me in my dreams 🕯️

Siempre en mi corazón 🐶🌼🐾

A year ago when I adopted Darla, I made a promise: titer before I vaccinate! 💉

As a ‘mindful dog mom’, I want to make informed decisions about my dogs’ health so you can imagine how excited I was to discover that Affordable Pet Labs offers local titer testing right here in Las Vegas! 🙌

Their local tech team came straight to us to draw Darla’s blood, spin the sample, and prepare it to be shipped to the lab for testing. Talk about convenient! 🩸

Now we wait for her results! I’m excited to see what they show so I can work with her veterinary team at PAWS Health Partners to determine whether any boosters are needed. ❤️

✨ A little reminder for fellow pet parents: Titer testing can help assess your dog’s antibody levels for certain diseases and support conversations with your veterinarian about vaccination needs. It’s one more tool to help us make thoughtful, individualized decisions for our pups. ✨

Huge thanks to Affordable Pet Labs for making this option more accessible to local pet parents! Have you ever done titer testing for your dog? I’d love to hear about your experience in the comments! 👇

💊 Pill time, but make it FUN! 😋

If your dog takes supplements or medication, you know getting them to take a pill can sometimes be a whole production. 😂

That’s why Stashios pill wraps are one of my favorite choices! ❤️

🐾 Better ingredients than traditional pill pockets
🌈 Fun flavors for even the pickiest pups
💊 Easy to wrap around a pill and serve

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a sample pack so my From Pug With Love 💘 Vegas Dog Rescue foster was able to pick the flavor she wanted just by smell 🐶

Would your pup go for a taste test? Tell me in the comments! 👇

🔊Turn up the volume and enjoy those satisfying little nom noms! 🦷

I care about more what’s in my dog’s treats, not just if they’ll enjoy the taste! 💚

That’s why I’m excited to share Herbsmith, Inc. Dog Breath Dental Chews! 🦴

What makes them different? 🌿

Dried seaweed: this as a key ingredient to help address the sticky buildup that can contribute to tartar 🪸

Parsley: Included to support gumline health 🌱

Spearmint: Helps support fresher breath 🍃

What goes into our dogs’ treats matters just as much as the benefits they provide. I want to know what I’m giving my dogs and why each ingredient is there. 🪥

Darla is clearly a fan. Just listen to those crunches! 😂

Please remember dental chews are just one piece of the puzzle. Regular toothbrushing and professional veterinary care are still essential for keeping those smiles healthy! 🐶🦷

Would your pup pass the ASMR test? 🎧
