Pet Sitting.

Interesting service that many pet parents are looking for.

But what are they REALLY looking for? I ask this question to a lot of new callers on the phone. The response is usually “someone who will love my pet the way I do”  or “someone I can really trust to properly care for my pets and rely on.”

Well some would say that the Facebook timeline profiles are bringing the past back to haunt us. I say I LOVE THE PAST becasue now… Facebook is helping Bella’s House & Pet Sitting in Scottsdale AZ prove it even MORE about our consistent dedication to our clients, our community, and our company culture. We have been consistent, reliable, loving, and caring for the ten years we have been in business.

Now, with a simple click to the right side of our facebook page you can see what we were talking about as far back as 2009!  One of our first blog posts asked: Tax deductions for pet expenses? Afterall, we get them for children! What do you think???http://www.petpeoplesplace.com/resources/news/general/lawmakers-consider-tax-deductions-for-pet-care-expenses.htm

Pretty neat, huh?

Prove it? Ok… take a look at our new Timeline profile!

Hey everyone!

It was TACO TUESDAY today up at West Addison. If you know me, you will know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE their tacos. They are so juicy and amazing! So my friend Eddie, Director over at Foothills Animal Rescue (FAR) and I had lunch and got some Taco’s today.We talked a lot about the rescue and pet sitting in Scottsdale.

Since West Addison is the place for Mutt N Mingle I thought it would be great to shoot a quick video to say hello to you. Did you know that FAR will accept all your household items you don’t want and sell them in their resale boutique? Awesome, huh? AND if you know anyone looking for some great items on a budget, FAR is the place to send them! In fact, Eddie was just telling me that they just received a whole estate worth of “stuff” from someone who passed away. Where are my bargain shoppers out there?

Anyways… here we are!

A few nights ago, we played Bella late night! I was up late and on Facebook, so I asked what questions you had for me. One of them came from Michelle who asked the following, Is Tuna Bad For My Dog?

Late night with Bella on Facebook

If I am not the expert who has studied in the subject, I never like to speculate. So, I went to on of our trusty resources who has ALWAYS been there for Rocco and our Scottsdale pet sitting clients when ever we have have a question. Dr. Casey is the veterinarian at McDowell Mountain Animal Hospital  graciously responded to this question for us. Here is what she said:

Hey Bella

I am happy to help.  Tuna is not at all bad for dogs (or cats).  I don’t like it as a primary food source (it shouldn’t be ALL that the pet is eating) but can be given as a treat.  Like all deep sea fish, we have to watch for too much mercury- the canned light tuna is lower in mercury than the albacore.  The fresh stuff is also fine, just mega-expensive!  So as a treat, tuna is fine!  The only thing to watch for is an allergy- for some crazy reason my own dog reacts to fish (which is not a common allergy at all

I hope that this helps!
