Small Businesses Make Thriving Communities

There’s something special about a place rooted in your local community. We celebrate them as a society. Heck, we even have a holiday in March called Mom and Pop Business Owners Day.

As one of those small businesses, we share many of the qualities that we love about other locally owned shops and service providers. As we approach our April anniversary, we want to take a moment to celebrate being a local small business and thank the communities that support us every day.

Some of the reasons we support small businesses include:

  • Local Economy: By patronizing local, we give the area economy a boost; increase tax revenue that supports infrastructure; and provide employment opportunities for local residents.
  • Neighbors: Small businesses are not just economic engines, they are your neighbors. Neighbors have a vested interest in the places they work.
  • Knowledge: Small business owners know the area and have valuable on-the-ground feedback and recommendations.
  • Giving Back: Part of our investment includes donating our time, our labor, and our finances in the people and places that also support us.

When you have the opportunity to support companies like ours, the impact is tenfold. As one of your neighbors, we want you to know that we care. We are part of your community. We are committed to making the greatest impact on our Floofins neighborhoods and friends.

Keep an eye out for opportunities to celebrate our anniversary next month. And watch for our new website design launching in the near future. Thanks for making us part of your life and allowing us to serve you for 14 years.

We reward our clients when they refer other community members to us. So take advantage of our referral program. Your positive recommendations help us continue our mission of excellence in pet care.
