Dear Pet Parents,
Friday, March 27, 2020, I received the news that Montgomery County has shuttered all "unnecessary" businesses due to an abundance of caution and concern about the spread of COVID19. Fortunately, the CDC has deemed that delivery and pet food are NECESSARY, so PetProductDelivery.com is positioned to be in this for the long haul. I called Montgomery County when I got home to confirm. It is a good time to be in the delivery business! I will be adding even more products to our online store to serve you and your fur-family soon! Also, I have added a SEARCH function to the footer of each page to make ordering your favorite products easier then ever.
After that news, however, I was not sure how I should handle the other services that my business offers: in-home grooming and pet sitting. So, I consulted Harris County and Montgomery County message boards, websites and YouTube videos to try and understand what, as a business person and citizen, I am expected to do. I also called several big box stores that offer grooming and smaller local grooming businesses in both Harris and Montgomery Counties to find out how they were handling grooming and pet sitting services given the mandates in both counties. After a lot of reflection, I decided that the Montgomery County mandate is clear that, although caring for pets is allowed, going into someone else's home, unless it is for home repair, is not allowed. So, after much reflection, I have decided to honor the mandate in the county that I am located in. This was a very difficult decision for me personally, because I love and am very committed to my clients. And, it was also a very difficult decision financially, as those services provide approximately two thirds of the gross income that I use to support my family. Regardless, until April 12, 2020 or until the shelter-in-place moratorium is lifted, I will not be entering my client's homes to provide services. Only delivery and shipping services will remain in place.
In the meantime, I am asking that all clients, please, support our delivery services while the grooming and pet sitting are on hold. The next few weeks could either make or break PetProductDelivery.com, but I am confident that good folks like you all will rally around us. PetProductDelivery.com is the one truly LOCAL pet supply channel in the area that has always offered delivery and shipping. we are here for you. Please, let us know how best to serve your pet supply needs.
Since both Harris County and Montgomery County do not consider pet grooming necessary or essential, I will soon be offering LIVE online Learn2Groom lessons. Look for more updates on what I hope will be a fun alternative to in-home grooming.
If you have groom appointments, consider them cancelled until April 12th or until further notice. I will contact all of our groom and pet sitting clients as soon as the moratorium on in-home "nonessential" services is lifted to reschedule. My sincerest apologies for this unexpected inconvenience.
Thank you for supporting PetProductDelivery.com!!! Wishing you and your two-legged and four-legged family members the best during this unusual and difficult time. Please, do not hesitate to call, text or e-mail if you have concerns or questions or if I can do anything @ all that does not involve entering your home. My heart is with you all.
