SMU

Here is a really special fitness event: you can do a 5k walk, with your dog! It’s called the 5k Dog Jog, and it sounds like a heck of a lot of fun. It’s being held on Sunday, February 14th, 2010, from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM.  Even if you don’t have a doggie, it will be a blast to see all the cute dogs that will be participating in this terrific event. Care (Cayman Animal Rescue Enthusiasts) and St. Matthew’s University Vet School is hosting this event. The event is a fundraising event to help raise funds for spay and neuter services provided by Care and to help increase obesity awareness for pet owners!

Entry fee $15

Start and Finish at the parking lot across from the old Gecko’s Beach Bar (next to the Courtyard Marriott on 7 mile beach) and immediately adjacent to the St. Matthew’s Residence Suites on Raleigh Quay Road.

Bring your dog (on a leash please) and your running shoes and walk or run this event to help raise money for this great cause!

Training

Attention Cayman pet owners: the best place in the Cayman Islands for your treasured family pet is Cayman Pet Paradise. In business for over 30 years, Cayman Pet Paradise provides fantastic boarding services for dogs, cats and family pets as well as exercise, training and grooming on three acres of grounds. They even offer “doggy day care” for those of us who work long hours and want to treat our pampered pooches to some TLC while we’re at the office!

For more challenging pets, Cayman Pet Paradise works closely with expert trainer Kenneth Morgan, who provides training on secure grounds for pets with a wide variety of behavioral problems. Dogs with milder issues have great success with Trainer/Groomer Alison Jackson, who also conducts training sessions at Cayman Pet Paradise. Sessions can be arranged while pets are being boarded, or day sessions can be scheduled depending on the needs of the pet. I can personally attest to Alison’s skills when it comes to helping socialize skittish or shy pets. She has helped our Toy Fox Terrier overcome social anxieties. Beano was rescued from a puppy mill, and Alison’s training sessions have helped him immensely.

Cayman has no “dog parks”, so it’s great to know that for condo dwellers with dogs, you can arrange to exercise your pets in a large, fenced-in area for only $5.00 for 30 minutes. It’s a well maintained area set up for agility training, with water and a dog house. There is even a comfy bench in the shade for owners.

We have worked with Cayman Pet Paradise for years and can’t say enough wonderful things about them; they are like family! When we pull up to the ranch, our dogs jump out of the car, tails wagging, looking for Alison, Manager Teresa Strad or any of the other friendly folks that work at Cayman Pet Paradise. It’s a relief to know that our pets are in good hands when we travel.

Do call well in advance for public holidays. Cayman Pet Paradise one hot ticket, especially for Easter, Christmas/New Years, and all the Cayman Islands Holidays.
