Care for dogs:

Don't kennel your loved one! We offer a 30 minute visit in the early
morning, afternoon and evening. Knowing
that your pet is comfortable in its own
home & receiving attention is mentally
healthy. |

Benefits of Dog Walks:
Daily visits help maintain a housebreaking
schedule. Proper house breaking requires
a consistent schedule of bathroom breaks
for your puppy. Crate trained puppies need
to get out every 3 - 4 hours for proper training
and socialization.
Adult Dogs: Adult dogs need regular exercise
to ensure good physical and mental health.
Loving owners who work long hours can depend
on the Precious Pets walkers to walk their
dogs during the week when their time is the
most limited. Crated dogs are in particular
need of a mid-day break. Over-crating and
under exercising can result in a hyperactive,
under-socialized dog. |
