We want to thank everyone who came out to our Customer Appreciation event this past Saturday and made it so successful! We hope you all had a great time and got some awesome goodies for your pets!

We were able to raise $900 total to split between the rescues who attended this year’s event because of YOU, which they will appreciate greatly!

We want you to know how much we truly appreciate each and every one of you that allows us to own a store that makes coming to work so fun! We see all of our customers and their pets as part of a great big family that we love to see walk in our doors.

Again, we can’t tell you how much we appreciate all of you for supporting our small business! It’s because of you that we get to do what we love every day and we are already looking forward to being able to show you our appreciation next year!

This week is going to be HOT! Let’s keep our furry friends safe!

Helpful tips:
-try to take walks in the morning or evening instead of midday
-if outside, make sure your pet has a shady spot to escape the sun
-limit playtime to avoid overheating
-always provide fresh, clean water
-for high risk breeds, a cooling mat or vest may be a good idea during extreme heat

Stop in today to grab a cooling vest or bandana and take a look at some cool treats to provide for your pet! We offer ice cream, chews that can be frozen, and even lickable treats that can be frozen into a kitty popsicle!

Stay safe & cool! ☀️🔥 ☀️🐶🐱🥵🧊
