The Power of Mid-Day Potty Breaks: A Game-Changer for Your Pet’s Well-Being

As dedicated (and working) pet parents, we all want the best for our furry family members. While many of us struggle with long workdays away from home, there’s a simple solution that can significantly improve your pet’s quality of life: mid-day potty breaks. At The Pet Parlor, we’ve seen firsthand how these mid-day visits can make a world of difference for both pets and their owners.

Why Your Pet Needs a Mid-Day Break

Imagine holding it in for 8-10 hours straight – sounds uncomfortable, right? That’s exactly what many pets face when their owners work full-time. While adult dogs can technically hold their bladder for this long, it doesn’t mean they should. Regular bathroom breaks are essential for your pet’s physical and emotional well-being.

Physical Health Benefits

• Reduced risk of urinary tract infections, bladder stones or worse, kidney disease
• Prevention of accidents and associated stress
• Maintained healthy bladder muscles
• Better digestion and regular bowel movements
• Increased physical activity through short walks

Mental and Emotional Benefits

• Relief from anxiety and stress
• Meaningful social interactions
• Mental stimulation from different sights and smells
• Break from monotony during long days alone
• Positive association with mid-day routines

Benefits for Pet Parents

The advantages extend beyond your pet’s well-being. Here’s how mid-day potty breaks make your life easier:

Peace of Mind

You’ll receive updates with pictures after your dogs mid-day fun!  You can relax, and come home to a happy, comfortable pet instead of worrying about potential accidents or distress.  This is priceless to the concerned dog owner who worries about their dog during their work day. You can finally focus on your work knowing your furry friend is well-cared for.

A Clean Home

Regular bathroom breaks significantly reduce the likelihood of indoor accidents, keeping your home clean and fresh. This is especially important for puppies, senior dogs, or pets with medical conditions.

Quality Evening Time

When you return home, instead of rushing to take care of an urgent potty situation, you can spend quality time with your pet. They’ll be more relaxed and ready to enjoy your company rather than being anxious or uncomfortable.

What to Expect from Our Mid-Day Potty Break Service

Our professional pet sitters don’t just let your pet out – we provide a comprehensive care experience:

1. Arrival and Greeting:  We arrive at your house within our scheduled time frame and greet your pet with warmth and enthusiasm. Our sitters are trained to recognize and respond to your pet’s unique personality and needs.
2. The Potty Break:   We take your pet to their designated potty area, giving them ample time to do their business. For dogs, this often includes a brief walk around the yard or neighborhood, depending on your preferences.
3. Fresh Water, a treat (if appropriate) and Quick Check Before leaving:  We ensure your pet has fresh water and do a quick wellness check. We’ll note any unusual behavior or concerns and communicate them to you.
4. Optional Pamper Visits:  We offer extra time to our pet parents who want a little more pamper-time spent with their pets – these can range from 15 minutes of extra cuddles, up to an hour of playtime: you decide!
5. Secure Departure We make sure your pet is comfortable and your home is secure before departing, giving you complete peace of mind.

To maximize the benefits of this service, we recommend:
