Come visit Abel Pet Supply, located in the lobby.

Here’s what’s new…

A few people have asked for plain beef cheek rolls so they’ve been added to the line up as well as beef basted beef cheek rolls. We’ve also added beef snouts which have been tested by Echo and Brooklyn. They give four paws up!

Don’t miss out on the limited edition Mongo Snow Leopard from Fluff & Tuff! He’s an XL Fluff and ready for his toughest customers! We’ve also restocked the line up and have added a few new ones as well.

Finally, Saint Rocco’s are restocked and the sprinkles make wonderful training treats, especially for the small dogs! Suzette uses them in pet classes to scatter treats for dogs reacting to stimuli in the room.

Our hours are updated on both Google and the website: https://www.abelpetsupply.com/pages/hours
