TODAY’S PET DESERVES A SPA DAY JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO. Consider these local businesses that offer luxury pet boarding or unique veterinary services.

PETLOVER CENTRAL Petlover Central on N. Federal Hwy in Boca Raton is a premier doggy daycare and boarding facility. They provide your dog with a safe and caring environment where they can play with friends — whether they stay for a day or overnight. Owners Tory and John have more than 30 years of experience between them in pet care.

Petlover Central boarding provides pooch suite options for dogs of all sizes and even has family lodgings for more than one pet.

TLC also provides clients with Happy Cat Packs for felines that must travel to see the vet. The packs include essentials to keep your fur baby calm.

Zylkene, for example, is a natural product that helps cats that feel anxious.

BOCA NORTH ANIMAL HOSPITAL & PET INN The Boca North Animal Hospital & Pet Inn, located on N. Dixie Highway in Boca Raton, is both an animal hospital and an urgent care center. Owned by Dr. Dwyatt Bull, this facility has been at its current location for more than 23 years.

They offer the essential vets services treating all conditions, along with specialty programs like cold laser therapy for pets with arthritis and dietary counseling. The cold laser therapy is a noninvasive way to stimulate circulation to sore joints. The Boca North Animal Hospital & Pet Inn also has an onsite pharmacy and radiology services.

As the name suggests, the Boca North Animal Hospital also provides boardings services at their onsite Pet Inn. The boarding facility features large, roomy dog runs, some as big as four feet by fourteen feet. They also have six large, supervised outdoor play areas.

While your pet is at the Boca North Animal Hospital & Pet Inn, you can have them fully groomed. Grooming includes a bath, nail trim, anal gland expression, and ear cleaning. They fluff and dry all pets after their bath.

worth of aid and supplies to the Caribbean. Since then, Bethenny's efforts have gone toward those affected by volcanic eruptions in Hawaii and Guatemala, earthquake survivors in Mexico, and yet even more hurricane victims in the Caribbean when Hurricane Dorian rampaged through the area in September of 2019.

WHY SHE DOES IT Although the driving force behind the creation of BStrong was to provide immediate assistance to those struggling through the aftermath of severe natural disasters, it was also born as the result of Bethenny's observation that some of those who quickly stepped forward to help in disaster situations were doing it for the wrong reasons. For instance, she noted that some celebrities seemed drawn to disaster assistance as a way to keep their names and faces in the global spotlight instead of focusing on helping the victims get through a time of such devastating loss.

It also quickly became clear to Bethenny that most of the money she was able to raise came from a combined accumulation of small amounts such as five or ten dollars rather than from grand gestures from celebrities, and this changed her entire outlook charity in general.

She decided that she would form a company where 100% of the donated funds went directly to the cause after hearing so many people complain about how they believed strongly in giving what they could but have become disheartened due to the prevalence of corruption in charitable organizations.

IS DISASTER RELIEF TOURISM FOR YOU? A strong desire to help those in need is recommended for anyone considering spending their next vacation at a disaster site. You should also keep in mind that because each disaster is different, survivors will have varying needs. Joining an organized disaster relief effort can provide you with direction and purpose — simply showing up to help may provide a boost to local economies, but it may be difficult to find tangible ways to offer assistance.

Those opting for disaster relief tourism should also be prepared to do without the kinds of amenities many people automatically expect from their vacations. Hotels and other lodging accommodations as well as restaurants, shops, and taxi services may be inadequately staffed or not even open due to the lives of employees and business owners being seriously impacted by the disaster. In some cases, basic services such as running

water and electricity may be intermittent or even completely unavailable as the result of infrastructure damage. And there may be BSTRONG members

some cases where the best thing you can do to help the survivors of a specific disaster is to send a check to the responsible relief charity of your choice and head out for a sunny beach in a different area. On the other hand, this could turn out to be among the most rewarding travel experiences of your life. To get the most out of it, do your research before buying tickets, and contact a reputable disaster relief organization such as BStrong for up-to-date information on how your efforts can best serve the region in question.Â

If you have a babysitter who likes to cook, you could set out the instructions and ingredients for them to have something fun to do with your kids—it beats ordering pizza again!

ingredients + Prep

Depending on what you order, you may need some of your own supplies. When you select your meals, think about what you will need to cook the food in and if any other kitchen utensils would be helpful.

Have them ready to go so you don’t have to make any last-minute trips to the store, defeating the purpose of getting your box delivered!

Look over the prep times and cook times to ensure you won’t be rushed, and have fun! If the meals are foods you would enjoy reheated, you could do all of your cooking the day you get the box to meal prep for your week, or you can just store the ingredients to the other meals in your fridge and cook them throughout the week.

cooking

If you’re a little less-experienced in the kitchen, meal kits are great for learning! Read the instructions carefully before you get started so you don’t feel frazzled while the heat is up high, and take your time. Gobble is great for beginners because all of the meals are prepped for you and can be cooked in 15 minutes with just one skillet. If you want to learn how to do more plant-based cooking for your health and the environment, Purple Carrot makes it easy to enjoy delicious meals and not even miss the meat.

If you are a more seasoned chef, feel free to take your own spin on the recipes and add some extra flavor or swap out ingredients to make it perfect for your palate. If you know what you want to make and have your own recipes already, Imperfect Foods is a nice choice because you select all of the individual ingredients yourself. You can help eliminate food waste, use organic, high-quality ingredients and save money all at the same time— without leaving your house.
