We Know You Trust DOTR; Here’s Why a Consultation Still Matters
At Dogs On The Run, we carefully vet every professional, but even the best match needs a proper introduction. That’s why we recommend in-person consultations: to ensure your pet feels comfortable, expectations are clear, and your care provider is set up for success. It’s not just about logistics, it’s about building trust from the very first visit.

Why a DOTR Care Team Is the Secret to Exceptional Pet Care
At Dogs On The Run, we hold the secret to long-term, stress-free pet care: it begins with one exceptional professional and grows into something even better. Many families fall in love with their first DOTR experience, only to feel disappointed when that same professional isn’t available for their next trip. But here’s the truth: that’s not a problem; it’s a turning point. It’s the moment to open your heart to a Care Team. A trusted, small hand-selected network of professionals who work together to ensure your pet is never left without the care they deserve. This is the DOTR difference and it’s designed for real life.

What Is a Reverse Sneeze — And Should You Be Worried?
If you’ve ever heard your dog make a sudden snorting or honking sound that seems alarming but ends quickly, you’ve likely witnessed a reverse sneeze. Unlike a regular sneeze that pushes air out, reverse sneezing is a rapid inhalation that can sound intense—but it's usually harmless. It often happens due to throat irritation, allergies, excitement, or even pulling on a leash. Most episodes last less than a minute and don’t require treatment. However, if reverse sneezing becomes frequent or is accompanied by other symptoms, it's worth checking in with a veterinarian.
