How to Keep Your Pet Safe During COVID-19 in Longmont

As people around the nation adopt social distancing and quarantine measures, you may be wondering how to keep your pet safe in this time of uncertainty. With some precautions, you can prepare your family and pets for a safe time ahead.

Your Pet Can’t Get COVID-19

Many pet owners have become concerned about the possibility of their cats and dogs catching coronavirus. The CDC has reported no viable evidence to support this - at this moment, it is not considered possible for companion animals to catch COVID-19 from sick humans. The CDC does suggest that you should quarantine yourself from your pet, just as you would from people, if you happen to become sick.

Stock up on Essentials

If you are practicing social distancing, or a larger quarantine is being enforced in your area, it is important to ensure you have enough supplies for your pet for at least 2 weeks. This includes medicines, food and treats. Do not overbuy or hoard pet supplies; just ensure you have enough for your pet to comfortably survive for 2-3 weeks.

Exercise is Important

You can still practice social distancing while taking your dog for a walk! Remember that exercise is important for your pup, and take him for a walk at least once a day. If quarantine measures are a bit stricter in your area, take your dog for a walk around the backyard or start an exciting game of tug-o-war inside your apartment.

At Home Entertainment

While you’re trying to work remotely or catch up on your favorite Netflix show, your dog or cat may want some of your attention. There are plenty of ways to have fun indoors: bring out all the toys, play hide and seek, send your pet on a treat finding treasure hunt!

Extra Love

Our companion animals are great at picking up on our emotions, and that’s why they always help us feel better when we are down. If you or family members are experiencing fear or anxiety, your pet may mimic these emotions. Check in with your furry friend and make sure to dole out plenty of extra love.

From the entire team at Glass Pet Doors in Longmont, we wish you, your family and your companion animals safe and healthy times ahead!

What Our Customers Say

  • Dana Troy
    Got a pet door for my vinyl sliding glass door, it's a game-changer. Pricier than an insert, but way more convenient and totally worth it. Took my dog a couple weeks to get fully comfortable with it (she's a scaredy cat and hadn't used a dog door before), but now she's freely going in and out on her own without letting the hot/cold air or bugs into the house. I opted for the Endura flap, partly because of the lifetime warrantee, and I can see why, it's clearly built to last. Joe did the install, he was friendly, professional, and super helpful. Overall awesome experience, if I'm ever in the market for another pet door I'm definitely going with them again!
  • Kristy Lee
    We had a great experience! The communication was great and the installation was super fast! We are very happy with our new pet door and highly recommend to anyone who needs glass services!
  • Morgen Vanesselstine
    Joe is seriously the best! He was so incredibly friendly. He covered everything he was doing with each step. He also literally left everything better than he found it. Usually with contractors in the past I have to spend some time cleaning up after they leave. Joe cleaned up everything. Also, was really great with the doggos. Thanks again for everything, Joe!
  • Laura Dunnigan
    Excellent. It’s such a relief not to clean up after my 3 dogs. Professional and perfect. I highly recommend this one!!!
  • Jamie Hedlun
    I would like to give this company five out of five stars because their communication is excellent, they worked with our schedule, the price was fair, and the quality is impeccable. We had no issues from start to finish, and we would definitely work with them again!
  • Joel Lewis
    I just received a pet door at my house. I am gone long hours and needed my dog to have a way to go outside. This door solved all the problems, plus I am able to open my sliding glass door all the way. The door took about 5-6 week to specially make and my installer Joe was in contact with me the whole time. When he installed the door he gave me the very best in service and the sliding glass door is amazing. The doors are not cheap but well worth the money and comes with 10 year warranty on the glass and lifetime on the dog door. I would recommend Best in glass pet doors to anyone!
  • Alexandra Hawk
    Absolutely awesome people to work with. Trevor and Brad are both really on top of it. They were punctual, easy to work with, and professional. I was actually really amazed at how fast the installation was. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
