let's go to the park!

the old adage reads "a tired dog is a good dog."

nothing tires 'em out more than a trip to the dog park where socializing, running, sniffing and horseplay are not only allowed but encouraged. consider it a "recess" for your dog; remember how pumped you were to get outside and play?

we sell dog park permits because we believe in the power of play. pick one up and enjoy being a kid again.

reduced-fee microchips at DCHS april 21-27

next week is national pet ID week, a time to recognize the importance of tagging and microchipping your pets in order to keep them out of  shelters.

dane county humane society is offering reduced-fee microchipping from april 21 through the 27th. cost is only $15 and the procedure takes no more than a couple of minutes and walk-ins are accepted.

worried it might hurt your kitty? fret not. microchips are the size of a grain of rice and are inserted transdermally with a needle. kitty won't feel a thing.

new fromm formulas!

ladycats and gentledogs, prepare your pallets.  fromm just came out with some brand-new flavors of grain-free dry food... and we've got 'em!

cats can get a taste of the wild side with two new flavors:  gamebird, featuring a mix of duck, turkey, chicken and quail, and salmon tunachovy, with a tasty blend of salmon, tuna and anchovies.

dogs get one new flavor but it's got chops, literally.  pork and peas is a grain-free, chicken-free formula good for dogs with protein-sensitivities and allergies.  

we've always been happy to stock a high-quality, wisconsin-made food and now you get more to choose from.  shop local, eat local.  see you in the food aisle.

stella and chewys supports friends of ferals

want to buy good food and support local rescue at the same time? well, you can!

during the month of april the good folks at stella and chewy's will be donating a portion of all stella and chewy sales to our friends at dane country friends of ferals.

so your kitty's freeze-dried dinner can help another kitty get snipped and clipped.  yum - the fresh taste of no kill.
