Professional Dog Care For Your Fur Kid

By Lyn Jones

For plenty of us, a "welcome home" from a pet is just another sign of why we work hard and lead busy lives. In fact , over 57% of American homes have pets. That is more U.S. homes with pets than with children. And if you're one of the average dog owners that can't always take their pets with them on pleasure or work trips, you'll be facing the need to find quality pet care while you are away.

Dog ownwers today are taking better care of their pets than ever before. Just about 45% of pet owners carry around pictures of their pets. 1/2 of all pet owners report that they consider their pets to be family members. Pets are a part of the family, and we expect them to be equally cared for. And caring animal owners love the added security and attention pets receive from pro care.

Many dog owners work extended hours, get stuck in the office frequently, or endure long commutes on a regular basis. Pro pet care is an alternative option to leaving your pet home alone for extended periods. This is an ideal option for puppies being housetrained and new pets just learning the routine.

Did you know that 76% of animal owners use some form of pet care while traveling. Many pet care pros have developed web sites that may answer the most common and crucial questions animal owners can ask - including Are they insured? Do they have references? Have they got employees? Are overnights available? What are their rates? Are there any discounts available? And how long have you been in operation?

So if you are one of the married animal owners who greet their pet first when you come home from work, or are one who has sung or danced with your pet, consider contacting your local pet sitter or home-based dog boarding and day care to line up an "initial consultation" (often free). You'll be happy you did the next time you find yourself stuck late at work knowing your dog is not waiting patiently by the door with crossed legs!
