Hoarding Disorder And How It Could Harm Your Pet

Hello Pet Loving Collectors!!! We know you love your pets! We are not going to lecture you about this when we arrive. That being said, let's discuss hoarding disorder and how it harms your pets.


Does your pet have an adequate place to stretch out?
We have met a lot of dogs and cats that have always had a cramped space to live. Most of these pets suffer from joint problems. Make sure you have a nice flat spot on the floor for your pet, preferably in front of a window or sunlight for added pleasure.

Does your pet have access to spoiled food and water? By throwing out rancid pet food and cleaning out your pets water bowl often, you save yourself trips to the vet. We have noticed a lot of pets in hoarding homes suffer from skin infections, or are on antibiotics. Make sure that your pet always has fresh food and water.

The avalanche. Use your imagination. Your pet can and will get trapped and possibly killed in this event. Cats love to hide in the middle of possible avalanche areas. PLEASE try your best to not create these hazards. Unfortunately, we find deceased pets more often then you think.

Medication. Keep your meds away from your pets. This includes pot brownies (another story we hear quite a bit!) Your pets are your children. They are very curious. It is up to you to protect them.

Collector Care is not state mandated nor are we trying to take your pets away. We love animals just as much as you and understand that most of these animals know no other way, and are VERY happy. They grew up in CHAOS, and they are your best friends. We also understand that hoarding disorder can be overwhelming and we are on your side. By gaining insight on your disorder, and asking for help, you WILL overcome this!

Do you need help making this all happen? Hire a Professional Organizer! We are trained, licensed, bonded, insured and discreet. Let us help you and your furry loved ones create a safe space you love.

Buster The Organizing Woofie On Pet Care - Shed Happens!

Hello world! It's me Buster and once again I have hijacked my Mommy's social media accounts today.
Personally, I find her blogs quite boring. She is always interviewing humans about human stuff. YAWN.

Let's face it, people love animals. Let's talk pets.

It's coming on Summer, and I personally have been shedding this fine Winter coat throughout the house for months. Sometimes, I even lick it all up and cough it up into a little pile (awesome!).

As a pampered older chap, what I love best is to be brushed. Brush me softly, brush me thoroughly, and brush me outside. I bet your pets loved to be brushed as well! If they don't like brushes, run your hands through the fur and try and help them shed.

After brushing your pets, a warm bubble bath (my mommy uses the cheap brand of baby shampoo from the dollar store), a towel dry and a good brush once their fur is dry. This keeps us from getting fur all over your clothing and home. We also smell and look good! We love you and we didn't mean for you to go into work with that clump of hair on the back of your skirt ...

Humans, SHED HAPPENS! It's up to you to make sure we are well taken care of.
Until next time,
Buster
