Heartworm Awareness Month Arrives

April 7, 2021 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Pet parents take all kinds of action to make sure that their pets are well cared for. From comfy beds, to interactive toys, training, and annual trips to the vet, we do most anything to keep our fuzz ball healthy and happy.

Something we may not always think about is heartworm disease. In all likelihood, you probably have your pet on a combination product that covers prevention for fleas, ticks, heart and other parasitic worms. Or do you?

Now is a great time to double check your preventive medication regimen. And while you’re scanning the medicine cabinet, here are a few things to bear in mind. [Read more…] about Heartworm Awareness Month Arrives

Walk Your Dog Month Is Here

January 20, 2021 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

January is Walk Your Dog Month. And what better time to get a routine in place that will bring both health and wellness to you and your furry friend?

There are a lot of really good reasons to get out of the house in January. If you’ve made a resolution to be healthier, movement and exercise (no matter the weather conditions), will be paramount. And once you have established a routine, it becomes easier to keep going as the weather improves. 

Here are some benefits to consider: [Read more…] about Walk Your Dog Month Is Here

Floofins & Co. Forges Forward Into 2021

January 4, 2021 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Most everyone will have heaved a collective sigh by the time this reaches you. Sending 2020 packing feels like a huge accomplishment, particularly for small businesses like Floofins & Co. 

We didn’t have the year we had originally planned. All of the events and celebrations (NAPPS Business of the Year and our 10-year anniversary) we had in the works had to be tabled. There wasn’t a way to celebrate as planned because of  shutdowns and folks generally being home all the time.

New Services, New Adventures

November 23, 2020 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

Everyone is looking for ways to manage life as we are currently experiencing it. Floofins & Co. has options to make things a bit more exciting.

In our expanded lineup, we have added adventure and education for you and your floofins. Let’s talk about adventure first.

Adventure Walks

We are all craving connection. That includes your floofin. Now, you can set up an adventure walk. What does that mean? It means that Floofins & Co. will come to your home, grab your floofin, take them to the site of the adventure, walk them, and then return your tired floofin to your home. It’s 45 minutes of exercise with some friendly floofins companions.

Maybe your floofin isn’t excited about sharing the limelight and just needs the adventure without the pack. Does that mean they can’t participate? Nope. We have a solo adventure walk for just your floofin or just the floofins in your household. So everyone has an opportunity to get out and connect with nature and their floofins pet care specialist.

Thank You, Pet Sitters!

March 4, 2020 by Jennifer Houghton Leave a Comment

We are in the middle of Professional Pet Sitters Week! Now seems like a good time to offer a thank you to the hard working professionals that care for our pets.

For all the times that you go out of your way to make sure our pets are safe and fed, thank you!

For every time you wipe down muddy, snowy, or rain-drenched paws, thank you!

For every time you noticed something that didn’t seem quite right about our pet and informed us of the concern, thank you!

For every holiday you spent with our pets so that we could travel to visit our loved ones, thank you!

For all the time and training you invest so that you are able to handle any situation that arises, thank you!

And for all of the love that you give our pet for the duration of their time with us, thank you!
