The Holidays Are Here – Be Sure To Book Early

The Holidays Are Here – Be Sure To Book Your Petsitting Needs Early

PAWSitive Petsitting Services advises pet owners to only use the services of professional pet sitters this holiday season and to book early.

Shopping, parties, baking, family gatherings, ski trips and travel—the holiday season can be a hectic time, but for pet owners who plan to travel, there is one item on the checklist that can be particularly stressful if they wait until the last minute: finding someone to watch their pets while they are away.

Pet Sitters International (PSI), the world’s largest educational association for professional pet sitters, advises pet owners to secure holiday pet care now and to only use the services of professional pet sitters.

According to a membership survey conducted by PSI last holiday season, more than 60 percent of its members are completely booked for holiday pet-sitting visits two to three weeks prior to the holiday—and nearly 13 percent are usually fully booked at least two months in advance.

“Knowing that a beloved pet can enjoy the stress-free environment of its own home during the holiday season can provide great peace of mind for pet owners,” said Patti J. Moran, PSI founder and president.

If you are in need of our services for Christmas or the New Years be sure to give us a call as soon as possible so we can ensure that we are available to accomodate you and your requests.

Thank you.

LIVER & BACON DOG TREATS

LIVER & BACON DOG TREATS

These biscuits are so easy to make. Liver and bacon are flavors dogs love, and will make these your dog’s favorites.
Ingredients
½ lb. chicken or beef liver, raw
6 slices bacon, cooked
2½ c. oat flour*
1½ c. brown rice flour
1 large egg
½ cup water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. In a food processor, puree the liver. Pour the puree into a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Break the bacon into pieces and put them in the food processor and grind to fine pieces. (Take the time to wash your food processor’s bowl at this point. You don’t want the liver and bacon to dry in the bowl; it’ll be a real pain to clean out later)
  4. Combine all ingredients except the water in the mixing bowl.
  5. Mix the ingredients, adding the water a little at a time just until a dough forms.
  6. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to ¼-inch thickness.
  7. With a cookie cutter or knife, cut the dough into shapes.
  8. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the cookies on the sheet. They won’t expand much, so you can place them fairly close together.
  9. Bake 22-27 minutes or until golden brown. For crisper cookies, turn off the oven and leave the cookies to cool in the oven for 6 to 8 hours.
  10. Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

*Oat flour is available at Whole Foods and most natural grocery stores. You can also make your own oat flour with a food processor or blender. It only takes a couple of minutes and costs a fraction of what stores charge. Just put two cups of organic rolled oats in your blender or food processor and blend until the oats reach the consistency of flour.

How To Make CRUNCHY CATNIP TUNA TREATS

CRUNCHY CATNIP TUNA TREATS

Ingredients
1 (5 ounce) can water packed tuna, no salt added, drained
1 cup oat flour*
1 large egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 heaping tablespoon dried catnip

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment and blend until mixture forms a smooth dough. It should be pliable but not too sticky.
  3. Roll small pieces of dough into 1/2 teaspoon balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with baking parchment paper. Use a skewer to press an X-shape into each cookie ball and slightly flatten them.
  4. Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until they are dried on top and lightly browned. Cool completely and store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

MAKE HALLOWEEN SAFE, NOT SCARY, FOR PETS

dog-with-pumpkin.jpg

Halloween is right around the corner and is a fun time for humans, but not always for our pets. Follow these tips to ensure your pet is happy and healthy this Halloween.

 

Candy is for the kids. Chocolate can be very dangerous for dogs and cats. Give your pooch their own Halloween treat in the form of their favorite doggy snack.  Also, be sure that tasty choking hazards like used candy sticks and wrappers are kept out of reach.

 

Watch out for decorations. Make sure all decorations, wires, and cords are out of reach from your pets.

 

Be careful with costumes. If you want to dress up your pet, the costume shouldn’t constrict movement, hearing, or breathing. If your furry friend looks uncomfortable or stressed, take it off. Also, check for any small, dangling, or easily chewed-off pieces they could choke on.

 

Keep Fido at home while you trick-or-treat. It’s possible your dog could get spooked by a ghost or goblin and a dog bite or fight could occur.

 

Check ID’s. Always make sure your pet has the proper identification, whether it’s tags and/or a microchip. If for any reason your pet escapes or becomes lost, this will increase the likelihood of a safe return.
