Five Things You May Not Know About Mary

March 31, 2021 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Floofins & Co.

Sure, you know that the Floofins staff you interact with LOVE your pet, but have you ever wondered… Is there more to this super-duper, pet-loving person?

To that, we say, YES!

Your Floofins are like family and we want to give you a more rounded picture of our great staff members. So, we dug a little deeper into their psyches to get you the kind of information only Floofins & Co. can provide.

The staff member we are highlighting this month is Mary. She is a Pet Care Specialist and covers the Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Villa Park, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale, and Elmhurst (for vacation care) areas.

If you could ask your pet one question, what would it be? “ I have 3 dogs and I always ask them, “Can’t you all go outside at the same time just once? Basically, I’m a doorman a lot!”

What is the funniest thing you’ve seen a stranger do? “Someone was jumping on a trampoline and when they jumped up, their shorts fell down.” 

What is your pet peeve? “Being late.” 

What is the best advice you’ve received? “Be polite.”

What would be your spirit animal? “Bear.”

Do You Need Pet Insurance?

Pet Insurance. What Are The Benefits?

While pet insurance is talked about more than ever these days, the idea only came into being as recently as the 1980’s. Now, 30 years later there are over 10 pet insurance groups currently offering policies for pets across our service area from Oak Park to Carol Stream and from La Grange to Bolingbrook. So, what has caused the surge in popularity and do you need a policy for your pet?

Advancements in technology, medicine, and treatment options in the veterinary field have expanded which equates to higher out-of-pocket expenses, making pet insurance more popular. As professional pet sitters, we know pet parents will do anything possible to make sure that their furry family members are happy and healthy. However, hard decisions regarding our pets health become even more difficult when money stands in the way.  Some pets require a few more trips to the vet each year than others. Whether they suffer from allergies, chronic ear infections, or the unexpected accident, pet insurance can help to alleviate the difficult decisions between the care of your pet and finances.
