Please do not buy. Throw them away if your dog gets one as a gift. Giving rawhide to a dog is never a good idea.

Many of these so called treats end up with the dog "enjoying" some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas. The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulfide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.

Now comes the pretty festive colors and the glue to form cute shapes. On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.

If that wasn't bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Someone passed this onto us and we thought it was a great idea to share.
With the 4th of July right around the corner we tend to get several calls about dogs getting out, and owners frantically trying to find them. We ask that you make sure your dogs have their collars on, updated contact information on their licenses, or do something similar to the picture below !

We love our community fur babies and want to make sure they are safe! 🐾💕

A great opportunity!

Has your pet had kittens or puppies recently? Did you adopt a kitten or puppy recently? Are there suddenly lots of kittens or puppies showing up around your house or neighborhood? Have you heard the phrase, "It is easier to fix a few than a whole slew."?

The unnecessary litters will only continue to get worse. They will continue showing up. They will continue to overpopulate our area and our shelters if we do not take action before they are old enough to reproduce. It is much easier to rehome the litters if they are already spayed/neutered.

On April 29th, we are hosting a KITTEN/PUPPY PALOOZA! This will be similar to our Catapalooza event where we spay/neuter 100 cats, but will be completely focused on kittens and puppies. We will schedule 25 female kittens, 25 female puppies, and a total of 50 male kittens and puppies. The minimum age and weight requirement for surgery is 2 months and 2 pounds. At the time of surgery, the kitten or puppy should not be over the age of 6 months and puppies should not exceed 35 pounds.

Non-refundable deposit expectations will remain the same. $20 per female cats, $30 per male dogs, $40 per female dogs. That deposit comes off of your surgery invoice total. Male kittens do not require an appointment, nor a deposit. If you prefer to schedule them, we absolutely can! If you do not want to schedule them, they can come on any day that we are open for surgery from 9:30-10:30. To schedule, call 706-671-1104, option 4. In your voicemail, please mention that you are wanting to schedule for the kitten and puppy palooza. Our events usually fill up within days of our posts, so please do not hesitate to call and schedule! If financial assistance is needed, please reach out to your local rescues before contacting us to schedule!

This is so sad! Catsnip is the only group that comes to Bartow offering low-cost spaying and neutering for cats. For them to suffer this loss is devastating. They do so much good.

Pictured here is a WEEK’s supply of dog and cat food that will be handed out at the Red Door Food Pantry - just under 450 pounds. LAW volunteers bag the food in gallon size bags for distribution. With food prices soaring the food pantry is seeing an increase in people needing food for themselves and their animals.
