I’ve written about the Bil-Jac brand of dog food in the past. It’s a solid, family owned company that offers quality dog food products and lots of good advice for dog owners through newsletters and social media. They have launched a “Take Your Dog To Work” contest running now through May 30 where dog lovers across the country have the opportunity to win dog treats and food coupons by sharing a photo of their dog at work. It is a celebration of “National Take Your Dog To Work Day” on June 21 with a very special campaign celebrating the spirit of the American office dog.

Helping pets and people in the aftermath of Oklahoma tornadoes...

Once again, I sat glued to the news on television and on the internet, hardly believing my eyes.  The total destruction of Moore, Oklahoma by a super tornado was something out of the Twilight Zone.  How can the same town get hit twice, with even more destruction the second time?  We turn now to helping those people and pets in the aftermath.  Social media once again plays a big part.

Today is a day to celebrate that bird lover in you.  May 4 is International Migratory Bird Day, and we’ve checked in with Naples Zoo, one of our favorite animal habitats, for some information on how we can help birds at home.

Start your Earth Day 2013 celebration at the zoo…

I have always been a big fan of zoos.  Where else can you see so many amazing creatures up close and personal?  There’s a party going on at the Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens on Saturday, April 6, 2013 in celebration of Earth Day. Maybe some of you that live in the area might want to attend.

Consider adopting a Guinea Pig of your very own

The first National Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig Month was celebrated in March of 2002.  It was designated by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) as a way to raise awareness about guinea pigs waiting in shelters for their new forever homes.  It is also a month to help people learn more about their proper care.

New Jersey Assembly Bill 3825 withdrawn

On March 4, Alley Cat Allies, the national advocacy organization for cats, put out an alert that the New Jersey Assembly Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee was considering a bill that would put cats’ lives (and all shelter animals for that matter) at risk.

Now low-income families with pets have special assistance...

There is a new program that made national headlines recently called Pet Food Stamps.  Designed to help low-income families and those already on food stamp assistance, the program helps people feed their pets who otherwise may no longer be able to afford to keep their pet at home.  What a great idea.  With shelters already overflowing, more pets may be able to stay with their owners.
