That’s what Ed said! 🐾☀️

PROTECT YOUR DOG'S PAWS!

As temperatures climb and the sun beats down, don't forget to take care of your pets! It's obvious that you should never leave your pet (or children!) in a hot car, but many forget about the hot pavement. Even on just a warm day the sun can heat up concrete and asphalt to ridiculous levels which can easily burn and blister your dog's delicate paw pads.

It's best to walk your dog in the early morning or late evening when the ground is much cooler. This will prevent their paws from getting burned and greatly reduce the risk of heatstroke.

Make sure there is a constant supply of fresh drinking water and make sure animals have access to shade.

Hi! We hope everyone is having a fabulous week!!
National Foster a Pet Month is four days in and we have some beautiful kiddos looking for a foster family!
Our first gal is Chipper! Chipper is around a year and a half old and she is a sweet, happy little frenchie gal!
She is on a soft food diet as she appears to have some digestion issues but, she does well with softened kibble and/or some yummy wet food….
She is coming from a breeding situation so she will need to learn how to be a house gal but, she is very cute and very smart so, we think she will be a natural! She loves everyone, people and pets alike! She is currently outside of Anderson, SC. Is anyone willing/able to give this little doll a chance?! Please apply to foster at www.bostonrescueteam.com

06/04/2024

We have plenty of single ingredient treats and chews for even the pickiest pooch! Bring your pup by soon for a sniff!

People often ask what Peach is eating. The real question is what isn’t she eating?! She gets a very rotated diet. This can help with
food allergies and intolerance. By switching protein sources and formulas, it reduces the chance of allergy development, ensures that they're receiving a wide array of essential nutrients and increases their tolerance to dietary changes.

Recently Peach has been eating Acana kibble along with Stella & Chewys gently cooked. Gently cooked is a great way to add moisture to your dogs diet. Made with 100% Human grade whole foods and Juicy fish bone broth they will be licking the bowl clean!
