Free Pet Nutrition Workshop at Petco this Saturday

PETCO stores nationwide will host a free pet nutrition workshop facilitated by specially trained in-store nutrition experts on Saturday, November 14 at 2 p.m.

During the 30-minute workshop, pet parents will learn about the nutritional needs of their dogs and cats, have a chance to discuss the benefits of good pet nutrition, receive an assessment of their individual pet’s nutrition needs and understand the difference between basic, premium and natural pet food categories.

Pet parents who attend the event will receive educational materials and free food samples from food suppliers Wellness, Halo, and Natural Balance.

What a great event and way to get free samples of dog food! I've bought natural balance before and my dog LOVED it. I wonder if this event would also include coupons...hmmmm.

Thanksgiving Hazards for your Dog

Pedigree's Newsletter had a great article about Thanksgiving Hazards for your pet. Below are some of the highlights. For the full article go here.

Never give your dog poultry bones—they can splinter easily and stick in the esophagus, stomach, or intestines.
Make sure your pet can't access food left on counters or tables. After you've cleaned the kitchen, take the garbage out and dispose of it in a secure place where no pets can get into it.
Watch the door as guests enter and leave. An open door is an invitation for a dog to flee a busy house for the world outside. So as guests arrive and leave, keep an eye on your dog—or, if he’s shy and upset by company, keep him in a quieter part of the house during noisy festivities.

Tailspin Halloween Event

Tailspin in Savannah is having another low cost clinic this Saturday(10/31). Shots will be 12.00 each and it starts at noon.
They will also be doing Microchipping(20.00), nail trims and basic grooming. On top of these great deals they are having a costume contest.

Wag-o-Ween

Last weekend I went to Wag-o-Ween with my puppy and some of her four legged friends. This wonderful event helped raise money for local shelters in the Savannah area. After paying your 5.00 you get a sticker and map of local businesses participating. Then you spend the rest of the afternoon walking around collecting treats for your pup. It was a wonderful event with lots of funny costumes.

Are you looking for new toys or perhaps a halloween costume for your pup or pet? Go here for a wide selection of items under 1.99. I've never shopped on this site before so use the standard inspection before ordering(read the fine print etc).


Target has a wide selection of rawhides and other dog items on clearance. I was able to pick up Dingo bones for $4.00 along with pig ears. Remember to check the expiration date on pet treats, they do have them.
