We want to highlight one of our PAWrtners, Hope for Life Rescue! 💚

Yesterday, some of our team members had the privilege of volunteering at their rescue, helping with their everyday tasks—something their incredible team does selflessly day in and day out. We were able to give SO much lovin’ to all the pets there, and honestly, what could be better than that?! 🐾

We have so much love for Hope for Life and the amazing work they do. Their team is full of kind-hearted hoomans who truly make a difference in the lives of so many animals. We can’t thank them enough for all the support they’ve shown Pawsnickety and everything they do for our community! 💙

Here’s a little about them:
Hope for Life Rescue is a non-profit, animal rescue in Virginia Beach, VA. Their mission is to rescue abandoned, abused, and neglected animals, focusing on those at high risk of euthanasia. With a 98% save rate, they’re saving lives every day and rescuing about 1,200 animals annually. They spend over $350,000 on veterinary care each year, ensuring the animals are in the best health possible.

As one of our PAWrtners, we’re proud to support their lifesaving work. Throughout the year, we help raise funds through events and promotions, and we also donate goodies to ensure they have everything they need to care for these sweet animals.

Keep up the amazing work, Hope for Life Rescue—we’re with you every step of the way! 🐶🐱

February is Pet Dental Month, and we’re shining a spotlight on the importance of dental care for your furry friends! 🦷

Did you know that regular dental exams can save you money in the long run? Prevention costs just 1/3 of what treating dental disease does!

Brushing, dental chews, treats, water additives, and gels are all great ways to support your pet’s teeth, and good dental care can actually help your pet live up to 20% longer! 🌟

At Pawsnickety Pets, we’re here to help you pick the best dental products for your pet, but always consult your vet for the best recommendations for their specific needs. 🐶🐱
