They've been working on this for over 2 years???!!! PG&E really needs to get their act together!

A San Francisco animal rescue group says dogs have sentenced to death because of a PG&E power issue at its new shelter in the Mission.

Idiot politicians getting the government involved in areas where they don't need to be and things that they know nothing about!! If you use h**p-based CBD products for your pets, you'll want to read this before it's too late!

Dear Pet Parent, Local Pet Store Owner, Veterinary Healer, & State Legislator!

For over eight years, we have worked tirelessly to provide you and your pets with safe, effective, and minimally processed full-spectrum CBD from h**p. We have led the way through innovation of new pet supplements and stay on the forefront of research, even investing significant capital into our own real-world pet CBD use studies. Unfortunately, California Assembly Bill 2223 does not take any of this into consideration and will prevent the sale of products like Earth Buddy or any companies making naturally derived CBD from h**p for pets and people.

This bill is NOT based on ANY medical validity, but simply lumps full spectrum CBD products in with the vastly different “gas station CBD” or synthetic cannabis products. CA Bill 2223’s goal is to protect the public from synthetic or unsafe cannabis products, but sadly, it will also prevent naturally derived CBD from h**p for pets and people who have relied heavily on these safer options.

For the past 10 years we have witnessed countless pets and people resort to these natural forms of medicinal h**p in cases where traditional methods were no longer an option. Pets, people, and children suffering from drug-resistant conditions and running out of hope have successfully used full-spectrum CBD products with virtually no side effects in comparison to synthetic cannabis or CBD isolates. Our politicians have an opportunity to step up and protect those in need of these safer options by differentiating the synthetic cannabis products versus the naturally derived CBD products.

The other damaging result of preventing safe access to full-spectrum CBD products would be that pet parents and patients will be forced to purchase dispensary products at upwards of five times the cost. More importantly, most of these dispensary products with higher THC will NOT be pet safe! Another result will be that only CBD isolates will be available for purchase, which have been proven to be less effective and carry stronger side effects than full-spectrum CBD products.

Here are some major reasons why companies, like Earth Buddy Pet, making full-spectrum CBD products with less than 0.3 percent THC, need to be protected from AB 2223 banning or limiting access.

• Transparency: Since 2015, we have worked with state regulators across the country to ensure that our products are regularly 3rd-party lab tested and labeled correctly. We have instituted QR-codes on all of our products that pet owners are able to scan and view our lab results by batch. Our COAs (certificates of analysis) are regularly updated and go above and beyond what any state regulations requires of us.

• Family Owned and Operated: Many of the companies selling full-spectrum CBD pet products, like Earth Buddy, are small businesses that grow and manufacture their own products. Banning or limiting the sale in CA will have a significant impact on small businesses.

• Costs and Safety: For most pet owners and human patients relying on full-spectrum CBD products, forcing them to buy CBD at dispensaries is simply not an option. The cost and taxes associated with dispensary products is not a substitute (even with compassionate pricing) and contain significantly lower concentrations for those relying on higher doses at around 800mg-1600mg per day. FDA-approved products and CBD isolates often contain more side effects than naturally derived full-spectrum CBD and are proven not as effective in the treatment of patients with refractory medical conditions. Additionally, extraction methods that small companies like Earth Buddy Pet will be required to use involve toxic chemicals to remove THC and are simply not an option for most of our customers/patients. From the perspective of efficacy, these “broad spectrum” or CBD isolate products have historically shown to be less effective in clinical research studies.

Crickets are here

08/05/2024

I found a new supplier for feeder insects, so we should be getting our first batch of crickets on Tuesday afternoon sometime.
We will have 25ct and 50ct pre-packs in SM-MD or MD-LG. If you want you can call and leave your phone number and we can notify you when they arrive.
I don't have pricing yet because I haven't seen what the overnight shipping cost is to get them here.

The cat is probably a better interview than most of the humans they talk to.

This has also affected Rover's Choice, so we are unable to restock our supply until this situation is resolved in some way. I am keeping in contact with Paul and will let our customers know once product is being produced again. If he has to find a source outside of the area, it will probably affect the pricing though.

The closure of Redwood Meat Co. leaves local meat producers without a processing facility.

Just a reminder that we will be closing at 5pm on Friday 26th and we will be closed Saturday 27th for the auto expo events.
Have a fun and safe weekend!!

Just a reminder that we are closed on Saturday because there is no parking allowed on Main Street due to the parade.

Found this article and thought it was a good idea to post. Read labels and know what you're reading so that you can make the healthiest choices for your furry companions. Grain free foods should have a higher meat to carb ratio, so be sure to look at the total number of meat sources vs. carb sources and where they are located on the ingredient list. We are always happy to discuss diets with you and to explain what is in the foods that we carry. If you have confusion, stop on in.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what politics and social issues have to do with business in the first place. Why did they even fall into the DEI nonsense to begin with?

Having had a tiny dog who had adverse reactions to vaccinations (and any other medications), I know first hand how difficult this situation can be for pet parents AND the clinic staff. Titer testing should be discussed with your vet if you have concerns so that it doesn't become a confrontational situation at some point. Calmly expressed concerns are always taken seriously by your vet staff.

Delve into the hidden risks and lesser-known facts about dog vaccinations, and discover how to protect your pet from potential adverse effects.

We don't carry this particular product, but I know that it is readily available locally, so FYI....

A batch of hedgehog food has been recalled after testing found a sample was contaminated with salmonella.
