February 20 is Love Your Pet Day

Following close on the heels of Valentine’s Day, February 20 is national “Love Your Pet Day.” And what better way to love your pet than by seeing that it is well groomed and cared for by professionals.

Tim Vogel of Bright-Eyed Pets (BE Pets), a curbside grooming service in the North Palm Beach Area, says, “We’ve seen a tremendous response to our mobile salons. People appreciate the fact that their pets are cared for in such a personal way, just steps away from their front door.”

Clients loved his curbside conveniences so much, in fact, that Vogel began to think about ways to provide additional home-oriented services to further meet the needs of his busy customers. After receiving constant requests for pet-sitting referrals, he recognized the need for dependable in-home pet care and he created BE Pets’ Home Pet Care division.

“For many owners, having to kennel their pets is by far the most anxiety-producing aspect of leaving home. In-home pet sitting can significantly lessen the anxiety of both the pet and the owner when separation becomes necessary,” says Vogel. In fact, he notes that the Humane Society states that “a pet sitter may be preferable if your pet is timid or elderly and needs the comfort of familiar surroundings during your absence.”

In-home care offers countless advantages. No transportation of pets to an unfamiliar location is required, and non-routine crating is never an issue. Most importantly, contact with other, unfamiliar animals is limited, so exposure to the threat of illness or aggressive behavior is virtually eliminated.

“Our clients have already come to rely on us for professional and convenient grooming care, and we’re excited that we can now become their trusted choice in pet-sitting services as well. After all, my wife and I are pet owners ourselves, and we wouldn’t consider leaving our dog with anyone but the most dependable caregiver out there,” adds Vogel.
