Pooch Patrol Scoop: June 2023

Our client newsletter with updates, small biz & rescue shout outs, and current jams

Hi pawmoms & pawdads,

As you go through life, one things you'll start to understand is how much slowing down can help with everything from your personal to business life.

Do you have a goal or task that feels overwhelming? Break it into smaller pieces and chip away at them every day. Put in the hard work and take breaks. Before you know it, you'll reach that goal.

Can't get everything done today? Tomorrow is another day so take your time.

Here's what I currently have available for daycare, full day & overnights:

Current Year Availability 📆

June: 16, 19, 20, 22-28, 30
July: 11, 12, 25-31

September: 23-28

General Updates 🐶

Pooch Chill Dosing Tips

I've added a new pet wellness dosing tips page to our Pooch Chill website. It's handy for pets who are very intelligent and know when you're giving them meds or a picky eaters. You can use a variety of food types: dog biscuits, peanut butter, kibble with extra goodies, air dried treats, and yogurt pupsicles to control the exact dosage your dog receives.

Deactivating Old Accounts

If you haven't booked services with us since last year, your account will be deactivated within the next two weeks. We're still accepting new clients and I'd like to ensure only active clients are using the portal. Reply to this email if that's you and will be using our services sometime in 2023.
