ASK THE EXPERT

We asked the experts and invited them to Dioji last month! We had the American Red Cross come out to certify/re-certified ALL of the Dioji team in pet first aid and CPR Training.

The training course covered information on dogs and puppies of all sizes, how to keep them healthy, prepare for an emergency, how to recognize and respond to a medical emergency until veterinary care is available.

We spent a half day learning valuable information about symptoms and care for common ailments and emergencies. Tips were given to help maintain all dogs health and well-being which we hope to pass on as needed to all of our Dioji dog owners. A healthy dog is a happy dog!

DID YOU KNOW

Unlike humans, dogs can move their nostrils independently allowing them to know what direction a smell is coming from.

Barkimonial

Gracie Moorhead

This place is the best ever! It is suspected that everyone working there was a dog in a former life. They really care and understand us. On days when my bag of food and sunscreen (I have a special need which Dioji cares for) are placed on the table, I immediately go to the front window and watch for the transport. When it turns in my driveway, I am joyous and wiggle all over. I come home a happy girl whether I have been there for a play day or spent the night. Dioji gets extra treats!

The Dioji Family

John

Dog Associate

Hometown: Born and raised here in SB

Pets of my own: Proud papa of Wilbur

Something people may not know about you: I am an avid reader. I live to have a book with me wherever I go just in case I get a chance to sit down and go through a couple pages.

Favorite activity with the dogs: I love blowing bubbles for the dogs. Pretty fun how excited they get everytime those come out.

Favorite Dioji moment: Because of our location we will often get emergency vehicles going by with lights and sirens. It's a pretty awesome sight when a large happy pack of dogs all have their heads thrown back and are howling at the same time.
