This is Re*****on! His human says:

"Re*****on (AKA Remi) is a rescue I got back in February of this year. He spent his life in a crate, but you wouldnโ€™t know because heโ€™s the sweetest boy. He lives and breathes to play all day. Heโ€™s the happiest little guy when he is playing with his Kong toys. Something unique about Remi is that he makes up his own games when playing. For example, he will bounce his ball into a shoe and take it out and do it all over again. Heโ€™s very creative with the games he makes up."

Remi sounds like a blast to watch!

Some people think that black cats are bad luck. We think black cats are the coolest. ๐Ÿ˜Ž If you've ever met Clifton Park store resident and free roaming cat Luda, you know what we mean by cool. He's so cool that everyone wants to pet him, but in typical cat fashion, he is very particular about who gets to touch his luxurious fur.

His favorite hobbies include:

Luring people to pet him and then biting them
Staring out the side door at traffic, longing for more wet food
Making product recommendations by sitting on the product
Sneaking in to the upstairs office where he isn't allowed.

Who else has a black cat? Put up 2 ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ for your black cat!

Look at these precious buddies!!

"Maddie is a 15 year old mutt who has taught her little brother Timber who is almost 2 everything he knows. Best chicken flock tenders who love chasing hawks away! They love chewing on rocks (despite being told no many times!), burying their treats for later and sharing sticks and stealing kindling/firewood."

What a sweet pair they are ๐Ÿ˜

Who doesn't want to see tiny birds flocking to their yard for a sweet treat? Just don't get too excited and overlook some ingredients labeled "harmless" by some, but in actuality can be deadly for others.

Hummingbirds are naturally attracted to the color red. Hummingbirds have learned over time that the color red indicates a rich source of nectar. Visiting a red flower can prove to be even more efficient than other colors because bees can't tell the difference between a red flower and the green leaves, and will often miss the mark and leave the red flowers untouched.

However, red does not belong in man-made nectar. Stick with the traditional 4 parts water to 1 part pure sugar to keep your hummingbirds humming well into their old age.

T'is the season for a new leash and collar! Why not start the summer with a fresh new print for your dog and cat? Let them show off their personal style while displaying important information on their ID tags in case of a separation. We welcome well-behaved and vaccinated pups and cats in the store for you to get the best-fitting new neck accessory on the market.

This is Ballister! He has heterochromia, which is when a dog (or person!) has 2 different colored eyes. This can be genetic or caused by a trauma. The most common breeds to have heterochromia are Huskies, Border Collies, and Australian Shepherds.

Ballister's human has this to say " He might be nervous, he might be a troublemaker, but you know what else Ballister is? Stinking cute, and clever too! No matter the season, no matter the weather, he's ready to go hike trails, make friends, and learn new tricks!"

Did you know that we have cats for adoption at our Clifton Park location?

Well, we do. Not because we are a rescue. We aren't. But, we had the space and there are always more cats than there are homes for them, it seems. So the Benson's Cares Cat Room became a necessity. And if you know how selective we are with what we feed our pets, you'' understand our adoption policy is pretty thorough.

If you have room in your home and your heart for a (nother?) cat, stop by and grab an adoption application today!

Here fishy, fishy ๐Ÿ 

Freshwater livebearers are some of the easiest fish to keep (and even breed) when you have the right set up. Live bearers are fish that give birth to live tiny fish (as opposed to egg layers). Some examples of fresh water live bearers are guppies, mollies, and platies. We have lots of live hearers to choose form at all of our fish-having locations (Queensbury, Wilton, Clifton Park, Johnstown, Pittsfield, Colonie, and Benson's Fish Room).

Come check them out and learn how to set up a tank of your very own!

This is our Colonie location. Of our 8 stores, there are only 3 that are stand alone buildings. Colonie, Clifton Park, and Wilton. 4 of the other stores are all in plazas (Queensbury, Saratoga Springs, Johnstown, and Pittsfield) and our monster big store Rotterdam has kind of a sidecar business next to it.

Regardless of what kind of building we are in, we always bring the same customer service, nutritional knowledge, and love of pets to each and every customer who chooses to shop with us.

Today is THE day! ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•

Perfect Pets Rescue is having their first dog adoption event with Benson's! Come meet these adorable pups from 11 AM - 1 PM today (Sunday) May 26.

Coco is 10 months old and 30 pounds. He is a neutered male who has been vaccinated, tested heartworm negative, microchipped, and is a pretty laid back little dude. He is crate trained, mostly potty trained (aren't we all?). Coco loves a chew toy and a snuggle, but also enjoys some solo time as well.

Rosa is 4 months old and 15 pounds. She has been spayed, tested heartworm negative, microchipped, and vaccinated. We will know more about this sweet little girl soon!

"Rudy is a rescue and is 9 years old! He was only 44lbs and starved when I got him! He has grown into a beautiful happy boy and is such a love bug! "

Can you imagine this big boy so skinny? Thank goodness he is happy, healthy and loved.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
