Why invite a pet sitter into your home? You have peace of mind, your pet’s well-being is enhanced, and your home is looked after too! Having provided pet sitting services for five years, I’ve noticed the difference when a pet gets to stay in their own home and keep to their regular routine. Anxiety is minimal, they have fun and enjoy great company while you are away, and your transition back home is smoother. Your pets are excited to see you but also at peace. Consider having an in-home pet sit for your next vacation.

Importance of Lower Body Health
Let’s shed some light on an area of the body that is often neglected. When did you last take a look at your lower legs or feet? If you have pain in your feet, swollen legs, dry skin, or fungal nails, then it’s time to start looking down more often. These are conditions that put you at a higher risk of falls, wounds, decreased mobility, and infection and can indicate bigger systemic problems. Your legs are the canary in the cave, so keep looking down to prevent a collapse! Contact Comfort Keepers with questions about your lower leg health.
First Aid Advice
Accidents happen. When they do, and they don’t cause you serious injury, it’s important to know what you should do to protect yourself from further injury and to heal properly. Here are some basic first-aid tips to help keep you safe and healthy. *Minor cuts and scrapes: make sure the area is clean and dress with gauze or a Band-Aid as needed. *Minor burns: run it under cool (not cold!) water. If a blister forms, don’t pop it! Dress with a loose gauze. *Sprains: Wrap with an ace bandage, elevate, and ice. In all of these situations, seek medical attention. Stay safe out there!
Seasonal Allergies?
It’s June! Your neighbours are cutting their grass, everything is blooming and you are struggling with seasonal allergies! Allergies can be miserable so here are some preventative measures: *Avoid outdoor activities early in the morning. *Don’t hang laundry out to dry. *Check the weather forecast for pollen counts before heading out. *When you come in from outdoors, take a shower and change your clothes. *Ask for help with lawn care and flower beds or wear a mask. If you have questions or think you may need medication for your allergy symptoms, please speak with your Pharmacist today!
Proper Denture Care
Remember to look after your dentures and inspect them regularly. All you need to do is use a cleaning solution for a minimum of 3 hours per day. If you are a smoker, coffee, or wine drinker, your dentures may need more than the basics. Double the number of tablets you use in your cleaning solution to try to get rid of persistent stains. Stronger cleaners like Renew, Nudent, and Novadent are available. Using a scratchy toothbrush and abrasive toothpaste makes future cleaning even harder. Many denture services are covered under the New Canadian Dental Care Plan. Contact us to schedule an appointment.

Whole Body Wellness
Super Patch technology uses a special pattern to help you go from feeling blah to HUZZAH! When your skin comes in contact with the Super Patch ridge pattern, it triggers a response in the brain’s neural networks that helps you tackle your daily problems, head-on. The brain and nervous system processes that stimulation and a waterfall of wellness responses happen, from more energy to enhanced balance and quality of life. The effect is immediate, so you focus less on overcoming life challenges and more on living a happier, healthier life. The patches are designed to be safe and easy-to-use, every single day.
Selling a House
“I need to sell for more than it’s worth because I need the money.” Everyone deserves to get top dollar on the sale of their home, but some seek more for various reasons. Moving to an expensive retirement home, moving to a pricier area, and having to pay off debt. But does your buyer care? Buyers pay what they feel the house is worth (often trying for less) and won’t pay more just to help out a seller. Even if they did, a bank appraisal would likely prevent a sale. Would you pay more because the seller needs it?
