March is Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig Month! š¹ā¤ļø
Have you ever considered adopting a guinea pig? These adorable little companions are waiting at local shelters for loving homes! While I havenāt personally owned one, Iāve had the joy of caring for themāand they have some specific needs to stay happy and healthy.
Guinea pigs thrive in spacious enclosures, love munching on fresh veggies, hay, and pellets, and, of course, need clean water daily. Many enjoy having a companion, but to prevent overpopulation, itās important to house males and females separately or discuss neutering options with your vet.
If youāre ready to welcome a guinea pig into your home, check out your local shelterāyou might just meet your new best friend!

Boarding vs. Pet Sitting: Which Is Right for Your Pet?
Not sure whether to board your pet or hire a pet sitter? Understanding the difference can help you make the best choice for your furry friend!
ā Pet Sitting ā Your pet stays in the comfort of their own home while a professional pet sitter visits to provide care.
ā Boarding ā Your pet stays at a facility outside your home, such as an in-home boarding setup, kennel, or vetās office.
Before choosing a caregiver, ask yourself:
āļø Are they insured and bonded?
āļø Do they have the necessary permits and licenses?
āļø Do they hold relevant credentials?
āļø Do they invest in continuing education?
āļø Is this their full-time business or a side gig?
āļø Do they require an an initial consultation/a chance to meet before starting services?
ā ļø Risks of Illegal Boarding Facilities:
ā Poor sanitation and overcrowding
ā Lack of proper insurance and licensing
ā Higher risk of illness and injury
ā Unvaccinated pets on-site
ā Limited or denied facility tours-donāt you want to see where your pet(s) will be staying/meet your pet care provider?
Pet parents, always do your research! Choosing a reputable, insured provider helps keep your pets safe, happy, and healthy.

Keeping Pets Happy, Comfortable and Fear Free! š¾
At Kat and Dogs Ohio, I understand that some pets may feel nervous or stressed in new situations or around unfamiliar people. Thatās why Iāve taken my commitment to pet care even further by earning my Fear Free Certification!
