It’s K-9 Veterans Day! It’s not commonly known that there are soldier dogs out there with our soldiers! Helping to protect and fight for us, they are able to sniff out anything and anyone out there in the field. We’re forever grateful to them and our soldiers for risking their lives everyday!! Much much love from BBSC!!!💜💜.
Merry Christmas from us at BB’s Specialty Care!! Cuddle you for babies tight!!!!!
Oh Hey!👋🏾🐾..... Did you know, depending your pets medical condition they may require feeding tubes at home? I know it’s a lil scary but once you get the gist of it, it’s not so bad. It helps a lot to know what risks to look out for and proper maintenance of the tube. There are 3 different types of tubes your pet can potentially go home with!! Contact us to get a consultation and tend to your pet. Our licensed technicians are trained to help with those!
