Caring for you and your pets
For most people, our pets are members of our family, providing companionship, love, and joy in our daily lives. As we get older, however, it can become challenging to care for ourselves and our furry friends. But with the help of a home care service, you can benefit from a helping hand and continue enjoying life with your treasured pets.
Pets provide us with emotional support, and they can have a positive impact on our mental health. For older people, pets can often become an important source of comfort and companionship, especially for those who live alone. Having to give up your pet because you feel you can no longer care for them will be a significant loss and cause emotional distress.
Home care services help you care for pets
We don’t believe you should be parted from your furry companions. Here are some of the ways our carers can help you with pet care:
- Food and water
If you have arthritis or mobility problems, it can become difficult to bend down to reach food and water dishes. Our carers will ensure your pets are fed and watered regularly, keeping them healthy and happy. - Pet grooming
Do you have a long-haired animal that needs a regular groom? Depending on the type of animal, our carers can help with brushing and bathing. They can also accompany you and your pet to appointments at grooming parlours. - Cleaning out litter trays
For older people with cats, scooping out litter trays can become difficult. Our carers can help you with this task, ensuring that litter is emptied, and trays are cleaned regularly. - Walking and exercise
Dogs need daily exercise, so if you are finding it challenging to take your dogs out for a walk, speak to our carers. We can help with dog walking in the short and long term, ensuring your pet gets the exercise they need to stay healthy. - Emergency vet care
If you are unable to drive, our carers can help you transport your pet to a vet quickly in the event of a pet emergency. In some cases, we can also help you administer medicine to your pet, such as crushing tablets in the food or giving them drops.
Our pets are a vital part of our lives. Whether you need help with pet care tasks, such as feeding, grooming, walking, and transportation to the vet, we can help. If you or a loved one are struggling to care for a pet, our home care service is the solution. We can help you maintain that special bond between you and your furry companion.
Promedica24 provides a flexible, hourly home care service in Blaby and Lutterworth, South Leicestershire. Our carers can help you or your loved ones’ care for their pets. Whether you need a 30-minute dog walk every lunchtime or a twice weekly 1-hour visit to clean out litter trays, we can help.
