Who Loves Labs?

Today, we have Labs on the brain. Did you know they are the most popular dog in America? Who could resist these sweet fellas? At West Hartford Pet Sitters, we have many labs in our pet care "family." Labs are wonderful companions and always seem to have a smile on their faces. Labrador Retrievers are known for their friendly, playful and loving personalities.

While part of the "sporting" group, labs require exercise to remain healthy and happy. Without adequate walks, runs or playtime, Labs will be destructive or depressed and may become overweight. If you are unable to exercise your dog during the day, West Hartford Pet Sitters offers midday walks as well as vacation service when you are not at home. We’d be happy to exercise and keep your pup both mentally and physically engaged. Labs are good-natured and gentle enough to be around children. Labs are excellent swimmers, so they are fun dog to bring to the beach (if allowed). Our lab, Jasper, did not like the water. However, he was quite the sporting dog and loved to go running in the woods and was an excellent hiking partner. Like most labs, he was bright and energetic.

If you are looking for a new four-legged family member, we at West Hartford Pet Sitters welcome a call to help you choose a breed that is a good fit for your lifestyle. We also advocate rescue dogs, as they are forever loyal.
