Back-to-School Separation Anxiety

When kids go back to school, pets can develop anxiety from the sudden change in routine. Gradually adjust schedules, and consider daycare a few days a week for social dogs.

Mushroom & Plant Toxicity

Fall brings wild mushrooms and dying plants that can be toxic to pets. Keep dogs from eating unknown mushrooms on walks, and be aware that autumn crocus is highly poisonous.

Holiday Hazards Are Coming

Halloween candy (especially chocolate and xylitol-sweetened gum), decorations, and stressed trick-or-treaters can be dangerous. Secure candy, keep pets inside during trick-or-treating, and update ID tags.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about finding pet care

How do I find a good dog groomer near me?+
Start by searching your city or zip code on Afinderly. Look for groomers with high ratings from multiple reviewers, especially ones that mention your dog's breed. Check that the groomer offers the specific service you need (full groom, bath, nail trim, etc.), read recent reviews to make sure quality is consistent, and verify their hours and location. Groomers with a "Verified" badge have confirmed their business details.
What should I look for in a pet boarding facility?+
A great boarding facility should have excellent cleanliness ratings, attentive staff, and clear communication about your pet's stay. Read reviews that mention overnight care specifically. Look for facilities that share photos or updates during your pet's stay, offer playtime or exercise, and have emergency vet protocols in place. Facilities that require vaccination records are generally more safety-conscious. Always schedule a tour before your first boarding stay.
How much does dog grooming typically cost?+
Dog grooming prices vary by breed size, coat type, and services. A basic bath and brush for a small dog might start around $30-$50, while a full grooming package for a large breed can range from $75 to $150+. Doodles and other breeds with thick or curly coats often cost more due to extra detangling time. Use Afinderly to compare prices across groomers in your area — many businesses list their pricing right on their profile.
Is dog daycare worth it?+
Dog daycare is ideal for social dogs that need exercise and stimulation while you're at work. It helps prevent destructive behavior from boredom, provides supervised socialization, and gives your dog a routine. Look for daycares with small playgroups, attentive staff-to-dog ratios, and separate areas for small and large dogs. Most daycares offer trial days so you can see if your dog enjoys the environment before committing.
How do I prepare my dog for their first grooming appointment?+
Make sure your dog is up to date on vaccinations (most groomers require proof). Give your dog a chance to use the bathroom before arriving. Let your groomer know about any health issues, skin sensitivities, or behavioral quirks. If it's a puppy's first groom, mention that so the groomer can take extra time to create a positive experience. Avoid bathing your dog right before the appointment since the groomer will handle that.
What is the difference between pet sitting and boarding?+
Pet boarding means your pet stays at a dedicated facility with other animals, staff supervision, and structured routines. Pet sitting means a caregiver comes to your home (or hosts your pet at theirs) for a more personalized, one-on-one experience. Boarding is typically better for social dogs and offers round-the-clock care, while pet sitting is ideal for anxious pets who do better in familiar surroundings. Compare both options on Afinderly to find what suits your pet.
