THE FLEXPETZ DOGS

Where possible, FLEXPETZ dogs are rescues or in urgent need of rehoming. Sometimes we have little or no history on a dog, which means spending lots of time and money to bring them back to a healthy state, both in body and mind.

All FLEXPETZ dogs go through a full training program, so they understand standard commands and are a joy to spend time with, either outdoors or indoors.

Take one of latest dogs, JACKPOT. A Labrador Retriever rescued from a shelter by a hard-working local rescue group, JACKPOT come to FLEXPETZ as a really happy and smart dog. But at the full vet check, we discovered kidney problems possibly linked to an acute stomach infection that kept JACKPOT underweight. Vet bills for the first week? $2,000

Fortunately, our great veterinarians have got JACKPOT back to health and he is now a happy and healthy FLEXPETZ dog who just loves everyone! Our trainer tells us he is one of the smartest dogs he’s trained and is always making new friends.

Going forward, JACKPOT will be seen by a veterinarian every three months, which is the standard of routine care for all FLEXPETZ dogs.

FLEXPETZ dogs are fed KUMPI Dog Food, considered the best in the world. To find out more about KUMPI, please click on the KUMPI logo

JACKPOT is a lovable Lab Retriever we think is just under two years old. He was abandoned by his owner and when FLEXPETZ adopted him, we incurred $2,000 in veterinary fees in the first week to cure a kidney and stomach disease that caused him to be very underweight. He is now back to great health and is a happy, dog who loves everyone!

PIRATE is just the cutest ever! A rehomed Boston terrier whose owners simply could not keep her anymore, she’s got great character and will play and play for hours – and then happily go “couch potato” on you.

TANGO  is an amazing black Afghan who thinks he’s a lap dog. A rare sight nowadays, Afghans are friendly and big ‘ole cuddle-bugs. And just try and walk a block with Tango – you’ll be stopped a dozen times by people asking you about this great dog!

NIXON is a six pound Miniature Pinscher that was handed over to FLEXPETZ by his owner just hours from being dropped off at a shelter.  This little guy is FULL of energy and will fetch a tennis ball for hours and hours and hours!! We are very happy to have NIXON join us at FLEXPETZ and he is already a “little” hit with our members.

RUPERT  is TANGO’s brother, and like TANGO, he’s a big dog who thinks he’s a little dog! if you think you get stopped on the street walking one Afghan, imagine what it’s like when you walk two of them!

AS WITH ANY NEW CONCEPT, THERE ARE MANY MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT FLEXPETZ. Please read our Frequently Asked Questions page by clicking  If we have missed anything or you still have a question, please email us at

When the idea first showed up several years ago, many people were shocked. They saw that a dog “pet rental” was possible and they could not imagine why anyone would want this. It sounded awful to them and they reacted loudly as people often do when it comes to an emotional subject such as dogs or cats. However, for those who have owned pets for a while, it is obvious that renting could be a very good solution for a lot of people. Before we jump to any conclusions, though, it would be a good idea for us to take a closer look at this situation and find out what pet rentals are all about. You might just find that they offer some unexpected strong points worth considering.

What Exactly Are Pet Rentals and How Do They Work?

As the name implies, companies who offer this service are doing is renting out pets to customers that would like to spend some time with a pet. The people will typically pay by hour or per day in order to be able to have a dog, cat or other type of animal around to enjoy. There is nothing inherently sinister about this and it is not about renting a baby animal and then tossing it aside once someone is tired of it. Instead, this type of service is about placing animals where they will get the most love and affection. Many of the dogs that companies like this rent are therapy dogs and part of what they do is act as emotionally reassuring presences in places where people can benefit from being able to pet a dog. This is still a relatively new business concept and it is one that has seen no small amount of controversy since it first arrived.

Are Pet Rentals a Mean Thing to Do to the Animals Being Rented?

In short, the answer is no because what pets need more than anything else is proper care and affection. There are many homes in which this is not provided, or even can not be provided, today. While these individuals may love and cherish the pet they have, if they are unable to give it a quality of life they believe it deserves then that may mean that they are forced to give it away and this makes for one more pet that is in an animal shelter awaiting a home. With “pet rentals”, a person can have a pet around during the time when they can be there caring for it and enjoying its attention, too, but once they have to travel or do something else that requires them to go about life without their pet, they can return it to the place they rented it from where it will continue getting top quality care. In the best interest of the pet, this is a great idea and makes sure they get the best of everything. While their situation may change, most social animals will choose affection over territorial concerns when given the choice. After all, pets want to be where people are.

Why Do Don’t People Just Adopt a Pet Instead of Choosing to Rent One?

As you might imagine, a lot of people who rent a pet would far rather own one, but that is just not reality for many people today. Some people have busy families and the dog or cat would end up getting neglected. Other people have schedules that cause them to travel cross country and since they fly, they do not want to have to force a dog to fly in the cargo area. There are many reasons that pet rentals work for people and the good thing is, this is a solution that means a dog is always there for someone who would like to play with it. This also means people do not buy or adopt puppies that they later grow to despise because they could not possibly have spent enough time training them.

What is the Future of Pet Rentals in the United States?

In the US, this idea is still very controversial because people somehow believe that it is bad for the animals even though it is not. As far as the dog or cat is concerned, they live with the company yet get to go explore the world with a number of people which is great for them. Most likely, “pet rentals” will still be a while away in many locations as people grow use to the idea. This is how most new sectors of the economy start out.
