WHAT IS FLEXPETZ?

FLEXPETZ is a unique concept for dog lovers who are unable to own a full-time doggy pal, but miss spending time with a canine friend.

According to San Diego Based FlexPetx.....

"THE FLEXPETZ BASICS

• 
  FLEXPETZ is a shared dog ownership concept that provides our members with access to a variety of FLEXPETZ dogs.

• All FLEXPETZ dogs complete obedience training and some FLEXPETZ dogs are also certified as therapy dogs.

• Through the FLEXPETZ shared dog ownership concept, members can spend from just a few hours to a number of days with each of our dogs.

Nowadays, we can rent almost anything ..... from Vacation Home, "humans", cars, boats, books, computers .... and now Pets.... although its dogs for now .... what's next?

These are some of the comments taken from various forums and articles .....

"
Melissa Bain, a veterinarian with the Companion Animal Behavior Program at the University of California, Davis, said she had concerns but no hard-and-fast objections to a service like FlexPetz.

• 
  “It depends on the people and it depends on the animal,” Bain said. “Some dogs may be fine and some may become stressed because they are moving from home to home.”
• "Californians can now rent a pooch. There's an upfront fee, as well as weekly fees that cover vet bills and food. Perfect for folks that travel a lot, and only have a week at a time to make a commitment..."
• "I can't imagine ever doing this, personally. I've loved and felt responsible for every pet I've ever had. If I was "borrowing" or "sharing" one, I'd worry constantly that its other humans weren't doing a good job taking care of it. And the poor animal, not being able to have the stability of one human."

.... so what do you think ..... ?
