Pet First Aid for Kids & Teens
Kids under 5 years old will be much too young for formal first aid training. Most of them don’t understand the concept of infection or injury until closer to 5-years-old. At these ages, children know how to spot a “boo-boo” and want to put a cute Band-Aid on everything, but that may not serve them in terms of pet first aid and CPR.
Pet First Aid Training for Pet Parents
The first thing most professional pet care providers do is get certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. It is, of course, the responsible thing to do when caring for pets professionally. The reality is, however, that most pets that experience injuries, illnesses, or emergencies will be in the care of their owners when these events happen. For this reason, we highly encourage pet first aid training for pet parents.
Litter Box Dos and Don’ts
Pet product manufacturers are constantly releasing new and improved litter boxes that make the chore of scooping our cats’ “business” that much easier.

For this reason, we’d like to take this opportunity to share our litter box dos and don’ts.
Pet Sitting Software Benefits
At Hearts at Home, we utilize a high-tech scheduling and pet sitting software called Time To Pet. Time To Pet is an integral part of our business because it ensures that our business runs smoothly and the pets in our care are always accounted for.
Pet Poison Prevention
Our companion animals can be exposed to dangerous household toxins that could put their health and, worse, their lives, at risk. For this reason, we are passionate about educating pet parents on pet poison prevention.
Five Dog Products We Love
Our last post was about five dog products that we avoid and why we think you should avoid them too. In this blog, we’re sharing five dog products we love and why we encourage you to try them with your dogs. As dog walkers, we’re experts on what works and what doesn’t when walking a dog. Having tried various harnesses, collars, etc. I have come to realize that very few dog walking products on the market do what they say they’re going to do while simultaneously considering the dog’s comfort and safety.
