We Board Exotic Animals at Second Home; Ask for Details<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>
\nAt Second Home Pet Resort we love your pets. From dogs to cats, our business is about caring for your pets as if they are our own. It is shown in the design of our boarding facility, which was done with our own pets in mind.<\/p>\n

Small dogs, medium size dogs, and large dogs get to go outdoors and play with their canine friends or spend time in doggie daycare. And cats will enjoy stretching and playtime in one or two cat play atriums.<\/p>\n

We also know that some people have other types of companion animals, exotic animals. At Second Home we have boarded rabbits, birds, reptiles, chinchillas, turtles, pigs, and goats, too! We understand that pets are family, whether it\u2019s a dog or cat or a rabbit or pig, and we want to be their home away from home.<\/p>\n

If you have an exotic pet at home and need a place to stay for your animal, give us a call at (602) 997-6600. We require that you bring in all the necessary care items for your animal and their food. We can also discuss any special needs during their stay.
\nWe look forward to seeing you soon.<\/p>\n

The Importance of Keeping Your Dog\u2019s Nails Trimmed<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>
\nWhen you have a dog, it\u2019s important to keep up with their grooming, such as baths, brushing their coat, cleaning their ears, brushing their teeth. It is also important to keep your dog\u2019s nails trimmed.<\/p>\n

While many humans love a good manicure and pedicure, it\u2019s not always the case with dogs, according to the article, \u201cHow Often Should You Cut Your Dog\u2019s Nails?\u201d at Preventive Vet. There are many ways to calm your dog during a nail trim. It is also important to do trimmings regularly.<\/p>\n

\u201cCutting your dog\u2019s nails frequently will cause the quick to recede and allow the nails to be trimmed shorter,\u201d the article said. \u201cSo, if it\u2019s possible and practical to trim your dog\u2019s nails weekly or at least every other week, you\u2019ll likely see better results, have a much less stressed dog, and experience less stress yourself in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good idea to cut your dog\u2019s nails \u201cas often as it takes to prevent their nails from touching the ground when they\u2019re standing,\u201d the article said.<\/p>\n

According to the article, \u201cHow to Cut Your Dog\u2019s Nails Safely\u201d at petMD.com, you will need good dog nail clippers, treats on hand for \u201cpositive reinforcement,\u201d and styptic powder if you cut your dog\u2019s nails too short. It helps stop bleeding.<\/p>\n

Have treats ready and keep the following in mind when cutting your dog\u2019s nails, according to the petMD article:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tFind a quiet and comfortable place.
\n\u2022\tHold small dogs in your lap or have someone else hold a big dog.
\n\u2022\tPush down on the paw pad, which helps extend the nail forward, according to petMD.com.
\n\u2022\tWhen you cut, \u201cclip straight across the tip of the nail,\u201d the petMD.com article said.
\n\u2022\tUse treats throughout the process.<\/p>\n

If in doubt, see your dog groomer or speak with your vet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
