Happy 12th Birthday, Floofins & Co.!

April 1, 2022 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Today marks our 12th anniversary and we are so glad to still be in business despite the impact of the global pandemic. We want to thank each of our clients for their continued support and our staff for their loyalty and determination. 

As we kick off our 12th year in business, there are many things that we have planned that we are excited to share with you. Let’s get right to it!

What’s Ahead

First, our dog training program is up and running. If you have a pandemic pet or one that has forgotten what it is like to be around other humans, now is the time to lock in some training. Pop over to the website to check out the various options. Let our trainers concentrate on the specifics you want to work on. All classes are individual and are designed to meet your particular needs.

Second, we will be launching our Floofins Couture line soon. Stay tuned for details. After we do a test run with our staff, we will provide you all the details on how you can rock your Floofins attire. You’ve asked and one of the benefits of the pandemic was some time to develop this line of products. Information coming soon!

Finally, we know that many small pet care companies did not survive the shutdown. While we are always happy to bring new clients into our family, the influx between demand and available staff forced us to establish our first ever waitlist. We hope to add those patient future floofins family members to the fold soon. Thanks to our clients for helping us locate some additional staff!

We can’t emphasize how much we appreciate our clients. Thanks for sticking with us and we hope that 2022 – our 12th year in business – is the start to some great moments ahead. Happy Birthday, Floofins & Co.!

Bringing a Baby Home, Floofins-Style

September 18, 2019 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

When you bring home your first baby, people have lots of advice. When you bring a baby to a home with Floofins in it, you get even more advice. Fortunately, we have an experienced individual to go to for how to bring a baby home, Floofins-style: owner Kristin Skelton.
We interviewed Kristin before she began maternity leave for her second child. The following are the excerpted responses to our questions.
Since this is child number two, is your approach to preparing your Floofins the same or are there differences? My approach is pretty much the same because if worked well and is continuing to work well with my son.  I was in training with Family Paws, a group of trainers and other pet care professionals that help families prepare and deal with some of the challenges that can occur when bringing home baby. I found out I was pregnant then so I had a plethora of tools and support at my finger tips as we got ready for the arrival of our first.
