Your cat just vomited again—should you be worried?

As a full-time pet sitter for over a decade and a former vet tech, I can’t count how many times I’ve heard cat parents say, “Oh, it’s normal—my cat throws up all the time.” But here’s the truth: regular vomiting is not normal.

Think about it—it's not normal for us to vomit frequently, and it’s not normal for your cat either.

I don’t know about you, but I am READY for summer! I’m excited to spend more time outside in nature with my dogs now that winter is over. We tend to go for more walks, hikes, trips to the lake, and we’re excited to get back to doing some camping this year!

Around this time every year, our team starts talking about the risks of the summer heat. We’re adjusting our plans on a daily basis around the weather, to make sure the dogs' in our care stay safe while we’re having fun together.

I wanted to take this opportunity to share some insights into things we watch out for when it comes to having fun with dogs in the warm weather, and how to help dogs cool down safely when we start to see signs of overheating.

As pet care professionals, we want to help you understand your dog’s natural instincts—especially when it comes to behaviors that might seem unpredictable. One key concept in dog behavior is the predatory sequence, which is hardwired into their instincts. Even though our pets are domesticated, these behaviors can still surface in different ways.

Every year after Easter, rabbit rescues and shelters see a surge in surrendered rabbits and other small mammals. Research shows that 80% of bunnies bought as Easter presents die or are abandoned within a year. Many are even inhumanely released into the wild, where domesticated rabbits struggle to survive.

The past five months have been a whirlwind—navigating uncharted territory, building community, fostering resilience, and leaning on flexibility, understanding, and teamwork. Through it all, we’ve been incredibly grateful for our wonderful pet parent community, whose support has meant the world to us.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we’ve been focusing on the essentials—prioritizing mental health, cutting expenses while we recover, and continuing to provide professional, reliable, and compassionate pet care. 

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated to our GoFundMe! Your generosity directly supported our team members, and they’ve shared how much those contributions helped them through the rebuilding process.
