  Pet Tech First Aid Training


Hello,

Last month was the month to make new year's resolutions. And because many of those resolutions involved getting and staying healthy, this month's newsletter is dedicated keeping our pets healthy and happy. We all want what's best for our pets and the info we have for you this month should help in that endeavor.

The featured article was inspired by an email I received from a man who had contacted a pet sitter about caring for his pets. When the pet sitter refused to visit them only once per day, the man didn't understand. This story explains why so many pet sitters require at least two visits per day for dogs when their people are away.

Since February is Pet Dental Health Month, we have some information that may help you keep your cat or dog healthy and happy.

And for those of you interested in pet first aid, you won't want to miss our announcement about an upcoming Pet Tech Instructor class!

How many pet sitting visits per day?

I got an email a while back from a gentleman who was upset that a pet sitter he interviewed refused to visit his pets (a dog and 2 cats) only once per day. The pet sitter turned the job down rather than care for the pets in a manner she felt was not adequate.

All of the man's pets (I'll call him Joe) live indoors and he only wanted someone come to his home once a day, to let the dog out and make sure all of the pets had food and water. He was going to be gone for seven days.
