Pet Pals 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways! Day 2

Pet Pals LLC • Dec 02, 2020

Pet Pals - doing what we can do to give pets the best lives possible!

Dogs have far more sensitive hearing than humans and can detect much quieter sounds. Their sense of hearing is about four times as sensitive as ours, so what we hear at 20 feet, a dog can hear at about 80 feet. They also hear a lot of things we don’t because they can hear higher-frequency sounds. From available data, scientists suggest that dogs hear in frequencies as high as 67,000 cycles per second (also called hertz), while humans hear frequencies up to 64,000 cycles per second. This means there are some sounds that are inaudible to us but quite available to our dogs. For example, they can hear the high-pitched chirping of mice running around inside the walls or in the woodpile.

There's no shame in feeling just a little guilty when you have to leave your pets behind, whether it be for a quick errand, night on the town or for vacation. Knowing you have the best and highly trained pet care provider from Pet Pals helps also! (The adorable drooping face and sad eyes don't make it any easier.) When you leave you may turn on music to keep your furry friend company. Some pets prefer it, some don't as it may hinder their ability to hear outside noises thus creating anxiety. Each animal is different in their preference, here at Pet Pals we believe the right way is what your animal prefers and keeps them the most comfortable.

Should you be the lucky WINNER of this Amazon Echo Dot and your pet prefers the music left on you can say to your dot, " Hey Alexa, play calming music for pets."

3 Ways to Happy Cats!

By Pet Pals LLC • 17 Feb, 2021

Cats are making a name for themselves. These hot-shot superstars in funny cat videos, memes, reels, and TikTok videos. So why not give them a special month of glory where we can celebrate their stubbornness, independence, and selective self-sustainable being. February is for the cats, and more specifically it's for their health, it is called National Cat Health Month." Pet Pals encourages every cat parent to spend the month with extra focus on their cat's physical and emotional well-being, and research signs of unhealthy behavior or illness. Pet Pals has compiled 3 tips to help ensure your furry cat friend stays in tip-top shape. 1. Litter boxes should be in a well-lit, quiet, and ventilated room of the house that's easily accessible to your kitty. It should not be in a dark, noisy place because he may choose not to use it. You should also clean it once a day. It's a good way to notice changes that may be a sign of health issues. 2. Even though cats spend approximately five hours a day grooming themselves, they still need our help to stay happy and healthy. Depending on the length of your kitty's hair, you'll want to make brushing part of your weekly or daily routine. 3. Yes. Feline pet parents also need to get their kitties used to nail trims and teeth cleanings. Slowly get them used to have their paws and nails touched. Do the same with their teeth and gums. An excellent way to start with dental health is by having them taste kitty toothpaste. Extend ‘agape’ love to your kitty friend. As Albert Schweitzer once said, “There are two means of refuge from the misery of life – music and cats.” Pet Pals - Pet care, dog walking, and dog mentor experts in the Sioux Empire committed to making people and pets' lives easier, healthier, and happier. Your Pet Will Thank You! Happy National Cat Health Month! Brag about you cat in the comments, pictures and/or video encouraged!
