The Great Escape Barkery
Pet Sitting Specializing in Canine Health Your dog's wellness is what I love to do!! Exercise, nutrition and medical massage designed to detox and align the body creates wholeness for your dog and more happy times with you. Caring for your dog with these types of prevention means less dollars spent at the veterinarian treating disease, less medication and many more years that your dog spends in health and wholeness with you.
Exercise addresses your dog's mental and physical needs. Walking or running creates togetherness, or to a dog, the sense of a pack moving together that keeps the body fit. Exercise keeps them from being bored and becoming destructive. Tearing things up, chewing, excessive barking and getting out of the yard consistently can be signs of a bored dog with too much energy. Food matched to your dog's activity level and free from harmful preservatives, texturizers, colors, etc keeps the body functioning well through the years. Medical massage like Lymph Drainage Therapy, Swedish Massage, Stretching and Spinal Cord work make the different physical stages of a dog's life easier and healthier.
Incorporating all this into pet sitting is what your dog can enjoy while you are away.
You will receive:
1. Jennifer Schramm, a person that cares about your pet and is professionally insured.
2. Daily notes written for each visit for you to read.
3. A wellness review that goes over the food that you are feeding and any changes that need to be made to create better health, recommendations for exercise and any supplements that will optimize your dog’s health.
4. Wellness services that I recommend for your pet while you are away include the medical massages and walks. This allows your pet the adequate support to detox their system of toxins, jumpstart weight loss and loosen tight and unbalanced muscles that cause pain and discomfort. This also burns up excess energy and addresses the dog's anxiety while the family is away, lessening the chance for destructive behaviors.
5. Temporary pet tag to put on each of your pets collars which displays The Great Escape Barkery phone number as contact information while you are away. This is an extra saftey measure for your pet.
