Flea & Tick Season is here, take care of your Pets

It's Tick Season, I have already found one on a pet, here is some good advice if you don't know how to remove them - http://www.ehow.com/how_2257_remove-ticks-pets.html.

Please make sure your pets are on a flea/tick preventive - I recommend and use Frontline personally but there is also Advantage and 2 oral ones named Capstart and a new one -Comfortis to use if you pets do become immune to the liquid applications.  The oral ones only treats for fleas, not ticks.  DO Not use Promeris it's not a good one.    Here is a link on how to Apply liquid Flea Treatments, do not use what you buy in the store, it won't last or do a good job at all and some pets have bad reactions to it.  

BTW, the SPCA raised over $164,000 for the new spay neuter clinic at the Dog Walk!!   Again I thank everyone who supported Cindy's Pet Services team and donated, we raised $2,770 ourselves, what a great success the event was.

Pet Sitting News 

I have a new full-time employee Holly, I have given her my 3 mid-day walks and she wants to get 3 more to have 6 daily, so if you live in the North Hills or Five Points Area and need your pups exercised while you are at work or have a new puppy, please contact me to get on her schedule.    I am doing more promotion and managing of the business and less dog walks and dog sitting, I am officially the cat sitter now.     Plus my tendinitis has been giving me lots of trouble in my arms so it's probably good I am not walking dogs much anymore my doc has been after me for a while to take it easy, he wants to do surgery but I don't want to....we will see!

**Memorial Day is fast approaching, we are taking reservations for pet sitting so please contact me today to get on your pet sitters schedule.

Have a great weekend everyone, looks like rain is coming at us again.......

Is it Summer Already??

You would think so with the weather today, WOW, it's 87 degrees here in Raleigh, NC.  I love how we skip right over Spring and go right into Summer here in NC, my favorite temperatures are between 55-75 degrees.  

The SPCA Dog Walk last Saturday went great, you can see the photos of the Downtown Raleigh Event at this link.     It was quite a crowd walking over 1,100 people and there were over 2,500 at the event, they surpassed their goal of $130,000 and raised over $160,000 - YAY!!   My great clients, family & friends raised $2,770 for this great cause.  We will be participating next year as well.

Did you know there is a Pet Only Airline now?   Check out Pet Airways it's a great idea, but wouldn't you want to travel with your dog, you really would send your dog off on a seperate flight, you think they would combine humans with their dogs, that sounds more reasonable to me.  

I wish they would have a cruise ship line where dogs can travel and stay with their owners, wouldn't that be awesome?    We want to take another cruise next February but we really hate leaving our girls behind we like to take them on trips with us, they are so much fun.    

We are going to the Carolina Beach from 6/6 - 6/13, I can't wait, it's such a fun place, we always stay at a condo at the dead-end AKA Freeman Park and we love to drive on the beach, walk the beach and just relax for a week.     

I have expanded my service area into Cameron Village and the NCSU area now, I have some great ladies working for me that are of course devoted animal lovers and I have been boosting up marketing to get more business.   Please spread the word about pet sitting and keeping your pets HAPPY at Home!!!    We have openings for lunch time dog walks for those that work long hours and your dog(s) need that exercise and potty break mid-day.    All 4 girls - Erin, Holly, Maggie & Whitney - offer Overnight stays in your home as well as Live-In Pet care

Have a great weekend and enjoy this beautiful weather.
