Holiday Boarding

The winter holidays are best spent celebrating with friends and family. For many of us, that will mean traveling during the holiday season to see the ones we love. While it is nice to be able to take our pets with us when we travel, often times, especially around the holidays, this simply isn’t a realistic option. When this is the case, call All American Pet Resorts in Fort Myers FL. That way you can ensure that your pet will be safe, well cared for, and have a wonderful time playing with other dogs while you’re away. It’s the best way to keep your winter holidays as stress-free as possible, knowing that your dog is in good hands while you’re enjoying the holidays. And don’t forget those visiting friends and relatives that love visiting Florida during the winter for a break from those frigid Northern winters. Our daycare program allows you to accompany your friends to the beach while we exercise your pet. Don’t wait, make your pet care arrangements now.

Take Precautions around the Holidays

With Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon, it’s important to remember that many of our holiday treats are toxic to our furry friends. Chocolate is one of the most problematic treats for our dogs, especially during this time of year when it is readily available in many households. Chocolate is extremely toxic to your dog and requires emergency intervention when consumed in large doses. Additionally, holiday plants, such as poinsettias, are poisonous to both dogs and cats.

The best way to keep your pets safe during the holidays is to keep food and plants away from them to the best of your ability. Keep candy, cookies and plants at a high enough height in cabinets where they will not be accessible to your pets. If you do have any questions about specific items that your pet may have gotten into, it is best to contact poison control or local veterinary office right away.

Celebrate Our Veterans and Military Dogs!

Military working dogs, like our military service men and women are deployed worldwide. Military dogs are individually trained to help keep military bases safe, sniff out explosives, detect land mines and are also used as messengers.

These service dogs also help here at home with our veterans: they have been trained to retrieve medication, to help calm anxiety attacks in those that suffer with PTSD and to provide our veterans with the emotional support needed, when returning home from war.

Thank you, to all our past and present men and women who have served or are serving and protecting our country today, and to the dogs that help them. Happy Veterans Day!

Halloween Safety Tips

Here are a few friendly reminders for our beloved pets on Halloween night.

Constant doorbell ringing can be frightening or plain stressful to your pet, so consider putting them away in a room for the trick or treating hours. Don't forget water, food and a chew toy to keep them busy - and check on them consistently throughout the night!

With lots of kids of all ages out and about in the neighborhood, sometimes a fence or gate gets left open. Check the yard after trick or treating hours is over for open gates or debris.

Candy is very toxic to our pets so be careful of what you have in the home and what might have spilled on the sidewalk.

Lastly, for our cat owners, it is better to keep your kitty cat indoors for Halloween night.

Have a spooktacular and safe Halloween!

Saint Francis of Assisi

Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals and the environment. Many shelters, vets, churches, and pet supply stores hold blessing ceremonies on October 4th in honor of Saint Francis.

Take a few minutes this upcoming October 4th, and wish your pet great health, lots of comfort, and endless love!

Hard Working Dogs of the Past, Present and Future

With the long Labor Day weekend approaching, we wanted to give a shout out to our 4-legged friends. Dogs have been working alongside men and women for thousands of years. As the world has modernized some of these dog jobs are still around, like herding animals or those pulling carts full of vegetables, hiking gear and medications in various areas of the world.

Today we have watch dogs, guard dogs, and dogs helping our Armed Forces. We have dogs that help with search and rescue and tracking a missing person. Dogs are working in airports, fire stations, police departments and hospitals.

Last but certainly not least: our beloved service dogs. These dogs help lead the blind, assist the hearing impaired and even alert diabetics when their insulin is low. 

Have a safe and wonderful Labor Day weekend.
