How Well Do We Know Your Pets?

January 17, 2023 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

January 19th is Get To Know Your Customers Day. We feel pretty confident that we know your pets pretty well, but we always want to learn more.

Let’s talk about how we get to know the Floofins in your household. 

First, we alway do a meet and greet before taking on new clients. We get all of the information on your home, your pet’s schedule, the feeding preferences, etc. It’s important to us that we make your absence feel less stressful to your pet by keeping them in their routine.

We also spend regular time with them. If you are a midday walk client, we know the pace your pet likes to take and are able to notice when they speed up or slow down or even when something is askew. 

As a client, I have had my Floofins staff member note any small lumps or bumps and any odd behavior (like that time Ginger insisted she take her water buffalo horn on her walk). It’s helpful and informative.

But did you know that you can always contact us with additional information above and beyond what is in your profile? We always document information there for consistency between staff and the office. But, you can always reach out to us with feedback about our service and staff. We encourage communication. 

Finally, if you are satisfied with the service you receive, consider leaving a Google Review, Yelp Review, or a Facebook Review. Those words of praise and affirmation make a huge difference when potential clients are researching pet care companies. We note it and appreciate it.

So, tell us more about you, our customers. And if you want, let others know how you feel about us. We believe in hearing our customers, so always let us know how we’re doing.

I Hear It’s Your Birthday!

August 14, 2019 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

 

We love celebrations! Birthdays, gotcha-days, pool parties, holidays, you name it, we don’t mind celebrating it.

One of the best parts of our days, and probably yours as well, is seeing all of these great pictures of your pets from our visits. The kind of great pictures that make you wanna celebrate! So, that got us to thinking… why not celebrate our Floofins’ birthdays?

So, starting next month, we will randomly select one pet that we care for that has a birthday that month. If you haven’t done so, make sure to go out to your profile and update your pet’s information so they will appear in our birthday list. (While you are out there, be sure all of your other important information is up-to-date.)

And as a thank you for letting us feature your pet, we will be offering a small surprise to the month’s featured Floofin. So, stay tuned for more details. And in the meantime, take a look at some of our August birthday pets! Happy Birthday, Floofins!

National Pet Preparedness Month

June 12, 2019 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

June kicks off the official start to summer. And with summer weather comes the threat of weather-related emergencies that could impact you, your family, and your floofins. 

No one likes the idea of planning for an emergency situation, but various groups have quick and easy checklists, videos, and articles available to make creating your personal plan simple and complete. 

No one can forget the images from Hurricane Katrina when people had to either make a decision to leave a cherished pet behind or remain with them and potentially perish. Things have changed in that many more shelters will allow people to bring their pets in the event of a natural disaster and evacuation. But, that doesn’t mean that every shelter and every situation will accommodate you and your floofins.

In addition to making an emergency plan for your family, ready.gov recommends that you also include your pet in that plan. Other factors they recommend you consider for your pet when making plans for a natural or man-made disaster scenario include: emergency kits; evacuation plans; shelter information; and identification. 

Consider using the resources available at ready.gov/pet-toolkit or view their YouTube video to be ready for any emergencies that might occur. And be sure to have all of your information, including emergency contacts, up-to-date in your profile for your Floofins & Co. account.
