Did you know? Today is National Cuddle Up Day! It sure is a good day for it, brrrr! (Hey, at least we don't have 10 inches of snow and ice, right?) Anyway, in honor of the day, we'd like to introduce you to one of our newest BAH family cuddlers, little Tilly! She is TOTES adorbs, and although she's just a tiny little thing, she apparently is already taking charge over the household! Tilly is an 11 week old Maltese and Yorkshire Terrier mix and we're all falling in love with her already. Please feel free to post a pic of your favorite cuddler in the comments, or tag us in your Instagram post!

Good morning friends! Just a heads-up about holiday pet food orders, because our Hill’s Pet Nutrition and Royal Canin deliveries will be a little bit different for the next two weeks. We will have to place our Hill's order next week no later than 2 p.m. on Tuesday 12/24 for delivery on Thursday 12/26 or Friday 12/27. We will *not* receive a delivery from Hill's at all during New Year's week. Please keep this in mind if your pet requires a special diet, and contact us before the end of the day on Monday 12/23 if at all possible. For Royal Canin, our ordering schedule is a little more flexible, but the company will be closed on 12/24-12/25, and on New Year's Day as well; orders are sent via USPS or UPS, so deliveries may be slowed up by the holidays. Please let us know if you have any questions!
