As clients settle into their new homes, it is a priority to make the whole family feel comfortable and settled as quickly as possible. For many Naples homeowners, this includes the family dog.
And when relocating to a new area, it is essential to know of reputable pet service providers right away - for those “just in case” moments when your favorite furry friend seems under the weather, or when he needs grooming after a dive into the pool, or when you are looking for a few pet supplies.
Naples offers a full array of pet services and specialty shops, ranging from dog parks to exclusive custom accessories.
Let’s start with veterinary care. Concierge Veterinary Care of Naples offers reliable and friendly veterinary care. If your pet has special needs and is unable to travel to the office, Concierge Veterinary Care offers mobile veterinary service and will bring services to your door, or transport your pet to their office. A second excellent option is Golden Gate Animal Clinic,, where you will find great care for your cat or dog, as well as specialty care for birds and reptiles. In the event of an veterinary emergency, call the Emergency Pet Hospital of Collier County where veterinarians are on staff overnight.
Time for grooming? Options abound in Naples, but I personally recommend Helene’s Shear Haven for routine grooming or special pampering. Located on Bayshore just a few blocks east of downtown, Helene’s does a great job!
If it’s a pet sitter you need, or dog walking for times that your furry friend is along for an especially long day, call Paws @ Home Pet Sitting. Darlene will schedule a time to meet your pets and work to accommodate your schedule for exercise, feedings, or overnight stays. Darlene is reliable and her love for animals shines through from the moment you meet her.
Give your dog a good workout at one of the free fenced dog parks in the Naples area. In Collier County, your dog will enjoy playmates at the Naples Dog Park off Central Avenue (close to downtown), Rover Run at Veteran’s Park in North Naples, or Canine Cove on Marco Island.
Of course, Naples offers easy access to the major pet stores, with both Petco and Pet Supplies Plus nearby. If you’re interested in boutique-style shopping for your pet, you’ll enjoy browsing at Pucci and Catana or Fergie’s Closet on Fifth. For pet gifts and numerous natural pet food options, take a look at For Footed Friends at the corner of Livingston and Pine Ridge.
If you are new to Naples, you will soon learn that we are a pet friendly community, offering a full range of services and shopping to help the entire family settle in comfortably!
