The snow went and now it's back....

2011-01-10T17:47:00.000-05:00

Looks like we are in for another round of snow. They are predicting 3-5 inches on Tuesday. That is on top of inch of snow we already had...

This Winter has been impressive with the amount of snow that has actually lasted on the ground, the last bout was roughly 4 weeks before we saw the green grass.

Make sure you keep you water bowls free of ice, so your beloved pets have something to drink (especially if they are mostly an outdoor pet).

If you are tired of scooping poop in the snow, give us a call we would be happy to help.

Regards,
James

The heat wave continues

2010-07-24T11:26:00.000-04:00

While scooping, I am personally experiencing the heat wave first hand every day in the yards. This is just a friendly reminder to make sure to take the proper precautions with your pets. They can become dehydrated rather quickly....

Here are some additional pointers for Hot Weather and your pets.

Spring cleanup has arrived!

2010-03-11T21:21:00.007-05:00

FINALLY the snow has melted! Lynne and I (yes, I have been in the yards lending a helping hand as well) are busy cleaning up pet waste. If you have not had a chance to pickup where you dog has left off (all winter), give us a call! We would be happy to take that "load" off your yard. Look for our ad in the JB Dollar Saver.

Remember, on average a dog will poop 21 times a week. If you take the number of weeks you have not cleaned your yard multiplied by 21, that gives you how many piles of dog poop are waiting for you and your family in your yard. A quick example, 6 weeks of not picking up, equals 126 piles of dog poop to be picked up! Pet Butler Dayton is use to the mess and will gladly pickup the dog waste. We offer a variety of service frequencies, from the one time pickup to twice a week. We also offer once a week and every other week service. Rates are as low as $10 per week.

Not to get really gross, but I wanted to show you a before and after shot of what we doo.

After

Lynne did a wonderful job cleaning up this yard! She can "doo" yours as well.

If you have any questions give us a call at 1-800-Pet-Butler (800-738-2885). We even offer a convenient online signup process.

New Pooper Scooper Ordinance - Riverside, OH

2010-02-22T22:56:00.005-05:00

Just a quick reminder/update on local pooper scooper ordinances in the Greater Dayton area. According to the Dayton Daily News the City of Riverside is considering a pooper scooper ordinance. Violating the new ordinance could lead up to a $150 fine. Riverside will be joining other cities in the Miami Valley that already have a pooper scooper ordinance. Cities that already have a scoop the poop ordinance are Beavercreek, Englewood, Fairborn, Kettering, Miamisburg and Troy. Huber Heights has an ordinance that a dog owner could see a $500 fine if they are not cleaning up after their dog in a city park.

Happy scooping,

The latest Pet Butler Dayton Video - "Until then..."

2010-02-19T22:02:00.006-05:00

It took us almost a year to post another Pet Butler Dayton video. I have been thinking about the concept for about that long and finally had everything I needed to create the video. Take a look at Until Then...
This is our latest pet waste removal video.

Enjoy,

The fleas have been plentiful!

2009-08-20T19:55:00.003-04:00

Fleas have been plentiful this summer. Lynne can vouch for this statement, she has been bit a number of times in the yards this year. We have had a few folks ask us how to get rid of them. Although we are no experts, we have found vacuuming frequently goes a long way in hendering the flea life cycle..

We found this article helpful from OSU: http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2081.html
Wikipedia has all the basic information on fleas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flea

It may take time to eliminate all the fleas from your, don't give up. With patience and persistance you can take back your home.

James

May is here!

2009-05-01T10:16:00.002-04:00

While Lynne has gotten drenched in the yards this week (she scoops in all typs of weather year round), I wanted to remind everyone of a couple events happening this month. On May 9th is Furry Skurry registration starts at 8:30, this year the event is being held at the Miami Valley South Health Center. May 16th is the Doggy Wedding from 12:00-4:00 at Club K-9.

James

The warm weather is here!

2009-04-19T11:24:00.000-04:00

Lynne is thrilled to see the weather break. She is scooping without a coat on which is a welcome change. Now she is busy dodging the rain drops while pooper scooping the yards. The sunny spring days she loves!

Had a great time at Doggie Dive

2008-09-13T13:10:00.000-04:00

As we mentioned before, we were the official pet waste removal service for Doggie Dive 2008. We just wanted to say "Thank you" to everyone who participated; we had a wonderful time. The City of West Carrollton Parks and Recreation did a wonderful job in organizing the events. Great job, Alicia! As usual, we took pictures at Doggie Dive 2008.

We always enjoy meeting people and this event proved to be successful in getting the Pet Butler name in the community along with what we actually do (which is pick up pet waste). A lot of pet owners do not realize our service exists and we have a great time educating them on our pet waste removal service. One of amazing things they learn is that pet waste removal is not a luxury service, we only charge $10 for one dog, once a week. Each additional dog is only $2.5 per service more, so two dogs for once a week service is only $12.50. That is not bad, if you are willing to give up a couple $5 coffees a week, you can afford our service. One of the great things about Pet Butler is that you can sign up online, this process is completely automated and you don't have to talk to anyone to get signed up for our Pet Waste Removal Service.

We stopped by the PawsAGoGo booth, they have a great product and service. Marianne Bailey is a great person and really believes in providing the best possible customer service and the best all natural healthy pet food. Plus, they deliver!

We hope to see you at an event.

Best regards,
James

Doggie Dash N' Splash 2008

2008-08-26T17:09:00.000-04:00

We had a Splash at the Dash!!!! Thanks to everyone who visited our booth at the 3rd Annual Doggie Dash 'N Splash this past weekend in Greene County. We enjoyed meeting everyone and sharing information about our pet waste removal franchise.

There was fun to be had by everyone with games, contests, shows & agility demonstrations. The obvious attraction is the big pool for the dogs to swim in all day long. The dogs (including our Blue Bear) had a blast playing in the water and cooling off on a hot summer day. I enjoyed having the oppertunity to be one of the judges for the Best Kisser Contest (41 kisses in 15 seconds). Take a look at our photos of Doggie Dash N' Splash 2008!

New K9Waste.com (pet waste removal) site is live!

2008-08-09T10:52:00.000-04:00

After many months of part time development we have finally launched the www.k9waste.com - a pet waste removal site. The original site has served us well, but I felt it was time to modernize the site. Besides updating the look and feel of the site, we have added a blog and a better photo album. There is a link to sign up online, this online sign up is not just a form that sends info to us and we get back to you requesting your credit card and letting you know the service date. No, this online signup truly signs you up via a secured linked to the Pet Butler website. You can sign up anytime you want and when you are finished you will know the cost and the date of the first service! This system automatically updates the pet waste removal technicians route list and the franchisee is notified of a new client signup. It is a wonderful system, so when you decided to sign up. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

If you have suggestions on ways to improve the site, feel free to let us know.

One of the goals of the new site is to communicate more and create a more information rich site for our clients.

Lynne and/or I will post blogs and pictures of events and clients on a weekly basis. If you have suggested topics let us know.

Best regards,
James

Welcome to our new blog

2008-07-24T22:47:00.000-04:00

We want to welcome everyone to our new blog. Lynne and I are new to the blogging world and we know we have a lot to learn. We are working on integrating this blog into www.k9waste.com which is in the process of being redesigned. We are in the process of finishing up the design of the site (still learning CSS, Blogger, Picasa, etc). But we hope to officially launch the new website within a month.

Best Regards,
James
