Independence Day Safety Tips |
|
Let's celebrate the 4th safely with these tips:
- Keep your pets INSIDE, somewhere safe and secure during fireworks. Thunder-coats or CBD can ease anxiety.
-
Ensure your pets are wearing identification and their microchips are registered with the correct information (More pets are lost on this day than any other!)
-
Never give fireworks to unsupervised children and always use them in clear area away from houses/debris. Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby for emergencies.
- Keep sparklers, glow sticks, fireworks, charcoal and kabob skewers away from curious pets. They are toxic!
- Don't let pets get near your barbecue grill while it is hot.

Every year, the owners of Companion Pets Inc. make trips to visit our breeders in the midwest as well as attend conferences on animal care.
These trips give us the opportunity to meet new breeders, build relationships, inspect kennels and dogs, and learn more from the leaders in the industry that are innovating and improving standards in animal welfare and canine breeding.

We were delighted to see how much the Canine Care Certified program is taking off and are proud to see many breeders taking the extra steps and investments to reach this level of care!
Blue Ribbon Puppies, one of our long-time broker partners, has been a leader in bringing many of their breeders to this above and beyond standard with rigorous protocols and practices designed to address the behavioral and social needs of puppies and adult dogs in addition to their immediate/medical needs.
The CCC Program is based on standards developed and led by Dr. Candace Croney, Ph.D. at Purdue University. Consumers and pet owners can be assured that dogs and puppies raised by the program’s certified breeders are cared for under stringent standards. Read more about the Canine Care Certificate here.

We assume a lifetime responsibility for every puppy we send home. Our Homes for Life program is the result of this commitment and our dedication to preventing pet homelessness.
We understand that for unfortunate and unforeseen reasons sometimes customers who purchase our puppies can no longer care for them. For this reason, our customers agree that, they would relinquish the dog to us, not a shelter.
We do this to ensure that we may find them a new, loving home but first to provide them with the rehabilitation and care that they may need in addition to a neuter/spay as part of our commitment to responsible pet ownership.

- Bonded Siberian Husky Pair: Baily a 6 year old male (left) and Holly a 3 year old spayed female (right)
- Holly & Baily’s owner unfortunately passed away recently and the son who inherited these dogs cannot provide them with proper care due to his demanding job.
- Both dogs are very active, playful, friendly and do well with other dogs. They have had no behavioral issues and are crate-trained/potty-trained.
We will be receiving these puppies in the next week and will need help from our amazing dog community in potentially placing them together with the perfect family!

To ensure that all of our puppies find homes in a timely manner, we reduce their price as they age.
By no means are we lowering the cost of these puppies because they are in any way less valuable, but it’s our mission to find each of our puppies a permanent, loving home as quickly as possible.

Hank & Bentley the Golden Boys
We want to spotlight this beautiful Golden Retriever duo from Puppies 'N Love for being dedicated good boys and the definition of family dogs!
Answers from Dog Mom, Kelly:
How do your dogs make your lives better?
Hank and Bentley are involved in every aspect of our lives including vacations, adventures outside, and playing dress up with the kids (their favorite). They are like having two toddlers around all the time and we wouldn't have it any other way. Both have hearts of gold and we couldn’t love them more.
What are your favorite things about them?
Bentley takes his job very seriously as the older brother and the protector of the house yet he is so sweet and gentle with our family. Hank has a carefree goofball attitude that keeps us laughing everyday and he always has a toy in his mouth and is ready to play.

ARIZONA RANKS HIGH ON BBB'S LIST OF PUPPY SCAMS COMMITTED IN 2022 |

If you are looking for a puppy, be careful & remain vigilant!
Here is how to spot a puppy scam online from AKC:
-
No phone calls. The seller prefers to handle communication by email and not the phone. A reputable breeder will always communicate with you via phone or video chat (if not in person) before selling you a puppy. Fraudulent sellers are oftentimes outside of the U.S. and may be hiding their phone number by only communicating by email.
-
Copycat or stock photos. Photos of the dog or ad text can be found on multiple websites. Search for the text or reverse image search the photos on Google to find out if they were copied.
-
Sketchy payment. The seller asks for wiring of money or payment by gift cards. Be aware that if you choose a non-secure method of payment, it is highly unlikely that you will get your money back. Avoid paying a stranger using apps such as Venmo, as it is harder to get your money back if you don’t get what you paid for.
-
Price is too good to be true. Research the prices for the breed you are considering. Purebred dogs sold at deeply discounted prices are typically frauds. If the seller says they register their dogs with a specific organization, you can call the organization to confirm.
