Pick Up Day
Your furbaby missed you!
Give as much attention to your pet as possible. He/she missed you! Pets have a tendency to overeat and drink when excited. This will cause an upset stomach.
Helpful tips when returning home:
- Give a bowl of ice instead of water. (This will slow water intake)
- Do not feed him/her right when you get home. (Let them settle down first. Then feed a normal amount of food. Do not overfeed.
- Stay away from rich treats until the next day when his/her regular routine is back in place.
- Erickson’s Kennels recommends the use of Nyla Bones for chewing treats. Hint-rub some flavor on it to get them started. We use hot dogs or peanut butter-they LOVE IT!
