Pet
Care

Affectionate
Pet Care: While
we lived in the Northern VA area, APC took my dog for afternoon walks
for a few years while I was at work. I couldn't have been happier
with the service they provided, the care they give Teddy, and the
compassion they showed when he passed away. Visit them at: http://www.affectionatepetcare.com/

Pups
Play & Stay: After
moving to the Wilmington, NC, area, I needed to find a facility to
take my young dog so that he could become accustomed to new people,
new surroundings, and other dogs. After a tour of the facility at
Pups Play & Stay, I knew he would be in good hands. The staff
has been wonderful in aiding with his socialization and has done an
outstanding job in helping him to acclimate to his new home and new
friends. He comes home from day care exhausted, but most importantly,
he comes home happy! In addition to day care services, they provide
boarding at an extremely reasonable rate and full grooming services
by appointment. Visit their website at: http://www.pupsplaystay.com/
