Dogs love being turkeys and eating pumpkin, too. Don’t let Thanksgiving end without making these Pumpkin Sweet Potato Bites.

Headed out of town? We have your pet care needs covered! If you haven’t already requested care, please do so soon! We’ll fill up (both our visit schedule and bellies) for the holidays.

November’s P.O.T.M. is…

Cupcake

Type: Pit bull
Age: 7 years

fun fact:
Cupcake is a sweet little snugglebug! She loves to give kisses, and is just as happy taking a leisurely stroll around the block as she is napping on her bed. When Cupcake is really happy, you can tell by her little grunts! Her favorite things include Greenies, playing tug-of-war, and her kitty friend, Loretta.

Happy Halloween!

Arrrrrrr! Did someone say pirate cats?

The leaves are rustling and the air is getting crisp. That can only mean that Halloween is upon us—our favorite (we said favorite, not only) time of year to dress up our furry family members.

Hotdogs, cowboys, and superheroes are all great. Personally, we can’t get enough of this pirate cat:

If you really want to know how to do it up, these dachshunds know a thing or two about costume success:

We hope you’re planning the perfect Halloween get-up for your pets and we hope you’ll share lots of pictures!

Wags and early boos,

October’s P.O.T.M. is…

Marlie

Type: Frenchie
Age: 5 months

fun fact:
Ms. Marlie is a newer addition to the OUG! fam, but she’s already making friends as easy as can be! She’s a super curious little munchkin, and she loves exploring anything that might be a new toy—like these keys 🙂

Woof, Pet Parents!

Happy Responsible Dog Parent Day! Today’s your day – you get it all to yourself (yea, that’s not actually going to happen.) But, all the pups we’ve been visiting have been sharing just how grateful they are to have loving, responsible, and awesome Pet Parents in their lives and we couldn’t agree more.

Being a responsible pet parent is serious, no doubt. Since you’ve got that all under control, we’d recommend you spend the day celebrating being awesome. How, you ask? By taking your fur-kid to do something fun, of course. Pups aren’t being selfish about it, they just wouldn’t want you celebrating the big day alone.

• Head to the beach – the official final days of summer might be over, but the sunshine remains.
• Play at the Dog Park – your pup can brag to all their friends about how much better you are than all other Pet Parents.
• Take a nap – you deserve it – they insist.
• Grab a bite or a cold beverage – outside, where pups are welcome (they asked we mention that very important detail. Apparently there are places they can’t go?)

Thanks for being you and for always wanting what’s best for your pup and all things furry!

September’s P.O.T.M. is…

Willie

Type: Maine Coon
Age: 15 years

fun fact:
Mr. Willie is new to us, but he’s already a staff favorite! He spends most of his time hanging out on the patio, enjoying the summer sunsets and BBQ smells from his favorite hiding place: this cozy plant 🙂

Greetings, Pet Parents!

As our lives get busier, vacations get planned, backyard barbecues are booked, and time seems to be moving all too quickly, be sure and block out some time outdoors with your pup! Outdoor play is just darn good for the soul. A few activities that will have your pup’s tail-a-waggin’ (and you smiling) are:

1. Sprinkler time
2. A stroll along the beach
3. A canine play date
4. Teach your pup to skateboard…and please send us a vid.
5. Go for a hike

Peace, Love, and Belly Rubs,

– Your BFFs at Out-U-Go!

May’s P.O.T.M. is…
Coco

Type: German Shepherd
Age: 11 years

Happy Spring, Pet Parents!

This time of year, we all look forward to longer days with more sunshine, lots of time spent outdoors, and beautiful flowers popping up all over the place. Spring is here and it’s wonderful! It’s also a very popular time for humans to welcome new furry family members into their families.

If you have a new fur-babe in your life or know of a colleague, friend, or family member that does, we’d sure appreciate you spreading some Out-U-Go! love through our ReFURral program! For every new Pet Parent that joins the OUG! family referred by you, we’ll provide a $50 credit to you and a $50 credit to the person(s) you referred as our way of saying thanks!

Wags and Happy Sunshine,

– Your BFFs at Out-U-Go!

April’s P.O.T.M. is…

Ernie

Type: Very Adorable Pup
Age: 1 year

fun fact:

Meet Ernie! Ernie is super cute and very loved by his Out-U-Go! BFFs. He’s often mistaken for the main character, Max, from the recent hit movie, “Secret Life of Pets”. As you can see, he loves cheesin’ for the camera!

Happy Spring, Pet Parents!

Itttttt’s travel time, friends! In this month’s edition of “pawwwty” advice, we’re talking less “suns out, guns out” kind of parties and more family (at least furry) friendly vacation spots. We don’t actually have much insight or knowledge on the former.

If you haven’t already planned a spring break trip to ditch any remaining signs of winter, our friends at Dogtime have some pretty pawesome places to consider—all of which include bringing Fido.

1. For Beach Bums – Key West, FL
2. For Hiking Junkies – Lake Placid, NY
3. For the Glamorous Type – Los Angeles, CA
4. For the History Buff – Alexandria, VA
5. For the Nature Lover – Seattle, WA

For those of you planning a less fur-tastic or pet friendly trip, please be sure and reach out to Schedule Visits for your furry family. As always, we’re here to help and love providing a little stay-cation for all our canine and feline friends!

Woofs and Wags,

– Your BFFs at Out-U-Go!

March’s P.O.T.M. is…

Etta James
Type: Pooch
Age: 2 months

fun fact:
Etta James is a cute little pooch that we have the pleasure to visit with in Chicago! She loves cuddling with her new OUG! BFFs and her chew toys… who doesn’t love chew toys?
