Fox 9 stopped out to Pampered Pooch Playground to talk about a new canine cancer study.
Fox 9 stopped out at Bubbly Paws Dog Wash to talk with Trycia and Keith about the 5th annual Woof ‘n Treat dog Halloween Party. Check out the 4 segments below. (For those of you who don’t know, we also own Bubbly Paws Dog Wash)
We have been warning all of our customers that that the Flea and Tick season is going to be a big one this year. We require all of our doggy daycare and hotel dogs to be on prevention from April-October, but this spring, it might not be a bad idea to start early. FOX 9 did a great story on how to protect your pooch!

Yesterday was a pretty cool day for Bubbly Paws because FOX 9 News stopped out to take a tour and talk about the block party that is going on Saturday from 1-5pm. Watch the video below and you can see Roxy the super star on it!
Dog owners in Edina need to be careful of coyotes in the area. We saw this on the FOX 9 news tonight, check out the video below. Random note.. I worked with the reporter when I first started in radio when I was in Des Moines.

I am not sure how many of you saw the FOX 9 special report tonight, but it was one that paints one Twin Cities doggy daycare in a bad light. Trycia and I were watching the story and I think my jaw was dropped the entire time it was on! I was shocked and could not believe what I saw and heard!! I don’t want you guys to assume that every daycare in the Twin Cities is operated like that one and there are many that are well run (like the PPP). If you want to watch the story, you can click here.
Over the past 2 months, we have teamed up with 2 of the other premier doggy daycares in the area to create the Twin Cities Dog Daycare Association, which helps to set standards of care, staffing and other ways of running the business. We hurried and launched this site today before the story aired to help educate dog owners on how to pick a quality dog daycare and what questions should be asked when you first visit.
As always, if you ever have any questions, comments or concerns please drop me an email (or better yet, call my cell phone 651-238-7673… How many daycare owners give out their personal cell phone number??).
Have a good night, and please feel free to contact me personally with any questions you might have.

Have a good night.

Brrr.. It is finally October, I just checked the weather and it should be a great weekend for our doggy halloween party! Today, when our employees got to the doggy daycare called me right away to say that one of the fence panels in our outside area had blown down. I instantally called our fence company, and within 1 hour they were out getting everything fixed. With almost 60 MPH winds (which are hurricane strength), I am glad that it was the only damage. Many of our customers came in talking about how they did not have power! So that was the big excitement at the PPP today!
Oh, I need to post a picture of one of the funniest costumes that we were working on today! Simon the bulldog will be a star on the FOX 9 news this Friday and we were perfecting his costume. I don’t want to ruin the surprise, so stay tuned for a picture soon.
Hope you have a good night!
