Presents 4 Pets Wrapped Up

Pet Sitters Give Back By CramTheVan“Cramming The Van”

As professional pet sitters and dog walkers, we visit happy animals in their homes all across our service area from Oak Park, IL to the middle of Downers Grove, IL all the way to Winfield, IL . However, it is important to also help the not so fortunate pets still looking for their forever homes.

It has been about a month since Floofins & Co. “Crammed the Van” in honor of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters, Presents 4 Pets Drive. This year the Floofins & Co. Pet Care Team parked a large Enterprise van in front of the Pet Supplies Plus in Wheaton and collected new and lightly loved items for PACT Humane Society. We were even accompanied by some adorable pooches that were up for adoption. [Read more…] about Presents 4 Pets Wrapped Up

Dog Birthday Celebrations

Dog BirthdaysIdeas For Celebrating Your Furry Family

Believe it or not, Prissy and Portia will be turning the big 6 this coming July! Be it an official dog birthday or a “gotchaday” (i.e. the day your pet was adopted) it is celebration worthy and there are many ways to par-tay.

There is no shame in inviting family and friends over to celebrate your dog’s special day. A great dog birthday party could range from a small family party to full out event with human and canine guests.

Prissy and Portia, unfortunately, are not huge fans of large stressful parties or having lots of canine guests in their home, so in the past we have resorted to the small family party format. Over the years we have found a few more great ways to celebrate Prissy and Portia Day. Here are a few ideas to help you with your plans: [Read more…] about Dog Birthday Celebrations

Choosing A Professional Pet Sitter

Seven Questions You Should Ask When Choosing A Professional Pet Sitter

Professional Pet Sitters Week is coming up on March 2-8, 2014 and Floofins & Co. will be celebrating with our pet sitters across our service areas of Elmhurst, La Grange, Wheaton, Woodridge and Oak Park. Well, maybe we will just have to meet our sitters in the middle, like Downers Grove. In honor of this event, we thought it might be useful to put together some questions to help those that aren’t really sure what to ask when trying to find a professional pet sitter. Hopefully these items will help you either validate your current pet sitter or dog walker, or help you think through the process if you are new to the world of in-home pet care.

There are always a few initial buzz words that pop up when it comes to choosing any service, including choosing a pet care professional. These words include “insured and bonded” and “ICs/employees”. [Read more…] about Choosing A Professional Pet Sitter

Behind the Acronyms of Dog Vaccines

Behind the Acronyms of Dog Vaccines

DHPP, DHLPP, DA2PP-L, DA2PP-C… What Exactly Is In That Dog Vaccine And What Will It Do For My Pet?

It’s a new year, which means at some point we will receive e-mails or reminder cards in the mail from the vet to schedule our pets’ annual wellness exams and vaccinations. After looking at my own pets’ list of vaccinations, I wanted to know exactly what was being injected into my dogs and why. The most common vaccinations are: rabies, bordetella, distemper, hepatitis/adenovirus, parvovirus, and parainfluenza. Many of these vaccines are identified only by acronyms on paper which can make it difficult to understand, even for our own professional Dog Walkers and Pet Sitters.
