Help The Oil Spill In The Gulf

Best Friends Pet Care is finding an interesting way to help clean up the oil spill in the gulf.  We are collecting hair from the dogs being groomed with us.  You might be wondering what the tow things have to do with each other.  Well, hair is very efficient at collecting oil out of the air, off surfaces like your skin and out of the water, even petroleum oil. Products called Hair Mats and Hair Booms are made from hair and fur clippings to help contain oil spills.

There is plenty of information about the concept here:

So, help the environment by scheduling a grooming with one of our excellent groomers today!!!

Hope for a Home Adopt-A-Thon Was a Success!

Thank you everyone who attended and participated at the Hope for a Home Adopt-a-thon this past weekend.  It was a huge success and over 10 dogs from the Associated Humane Society in Newark found new homes!  We are so happy for them and wish them good luck in their new home!  Below are some pictures taken at the event.

April Camper Of The Month

Say hello to Bailey!!!

Congradulations to Bailey for being chosen as the Camper of the Month for April 2010!!!

Bailey is a very vocal little lady that enjoys rough housing with her friends.  She is the flash of brown that you frequently see zipping around the Doggy Day Camp room.  Bailey is 4 years old and has been coming to day camp for almost that entire time.  She is "old school" and likes to show the new dogs the ropes. 

Happy April Bailey!  Thank you for being the Camper of the Month!!!!
