Exciting News, Wheat Ridge Friends!!

We’re thrilled to kick off a new-and-improved campaign! Localworks and City of Wheat Ridge Government invites you to show some love to our local businesses along the Wadsworth Corridor. As construction continues, your support means the world to these businesses!

Every purchase you make is a direct investment in our community’s resilience. Plus, each purchase enters you for a chance to win amazing cash prizes! 🎉 We’ve simplified our challenge based on your feedback to make it easier and more rewarding for you to participate.

Ready to dive in? Here’s how:

How to Win:
1. Shop at any business along the Wadsworth Corridor and adjoining intersections within Wheat Ridge city limits.
2. Save your receipt from your purchase.
3. Email a photo or scan of your receipt to [email protected].

Every receipt you submit earns you an entry into our raffle to win one of ten $1,000 cash prizes! Want to boost your chances? The more you spend, the more entries you get:
- Under $25: 1 entry
- $25-$150: 2 entries
- $150 and up: 3 entries

How You're Supporting Local Businesses: Each receipt submitted also gives the business a chance to win cash prizes!
Here’s how it works:
- Each receipt counts as an entry for that business in our competition.
- Franchise businesses require three receipts for one entry.
- The top 5 businesses with the most receipts will win cash prizes:

1st Place: $5,000 2nd Place: $2,000 3rd Place: $1,500 4th Place: $1,000 5th Place: $500

For the first time ever we are offering free daycare to new customers. We don’t normally do this because we spend a lot of time getting to know new dogs and making them comfortable. They don’t just get tossed into a room of dogs to “see how they do.” We decided to give this a try and it’s a great way to get your daycare prep day in before boarding with us or doing a board and train. This is a limited time offer so book before June 5th! Visit our website and click the book today button to create a customer account and start scheduling!

Looking for a new best friend? Consider Browning or Wi******er. While either of them would do better in a home without other dogs - they are totally fine in public doing outdoorsy things. They saw multiple other dogs today and they did fantastic. A big thanks to Andrew for taking them on a hike today and they had a blast! If only one or both of them could find a forever home to take them on hikes more often. Contact us at Zen Doggy Den for more information about either of these sweet dogs that need a home urgently.

Study on when is the right age to spay/neuter your dog. Fascinating results!

Spaying female and castrating male dogs, hereinafter referred to as neutering, is a US convention for the first year in the dog's life. Research on 35 breeds of dogs revealed that early neutering increases risks of joint disorders, such as hip dysplasia (HD), elbow dysplasia (ED), or cranial cruciat...

Looking for a really sturdy kennel for your dog? Ruffland kennels are perfect for vehicle travel or in your home. Truthfully, dogs should be riding in a kennel in the car when possible in the unfortunate event of an accident. Ruff Land kennels feature race car-inspired Ruff-Flex™ Energy Dissipation Technology, a series of design elements that dramatically improve the odds of your dog surviving an accident.

They are also the kennel I recommend for puppies due to the ease of cleaning, as well as escape artist type dogs. The plastic is very thick so while it is not indestructible, it is the more economical option for crating during behavior modification. The enclosed design can feel very comforting to the den nature of dogs so it is often a much better choice over open metal wire crates (which are the easiest to escape!)

We are officially a Ruffland Kennel dealer! Check out their website and let us know if you are interested in ordering one of these fantastic kennels. We plan to make an order sometime in the next few weeks so reach out and let us know what size and style you would like. They are also releasing a new Lilac color April 1st.

We always recommend people stay away from purina, science diet, royal canin etc. These are not good companies and they don’t care about the quality of their ingredients.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/QGTEEwtsG8reSch9/?mibextid=WC7FNe

1/10/24 update: more brands https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=965255491625961&id=100044245578564

If you believe ANY BRAND of pet food is causing or has caused illness or death:
Stop the food immediately.
Report it to the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/report-problem/how-report-pet-food-complaint
Contact your veterinarian. Request a copy of your pet's medical records. Report your concerns to the pet food company and ask your vet to do the same.
PLEASE COMPLETE THIS SURVEY https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/S8SMQGD

*Update as of 1/4/24 - 213 dogs and cats (155 dogs, and 58 cats) sick eating Purina, 57 of which have died.

Since 12/5/23 in the 'Saving Pets One Pet @ A Time' group on Facebook there have been 48 dogs and 3 cats sick eating Purina, 10 of which have died. It seems to be from all different types of Purina, with Purina Pro Plan being the most common. If you or someone you know is feeding this food, I would stop immediately! Do NOT wait until your pet gets sick or Purina issues a recall.

Join the Facebook group 'Saving Pets One Pet @ A Time' for additional information and resources.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/DuncanStrong/?mibextid=CTbP7E

info from Savings Pets One Pet @ a Time:

"Stop the food immediately. Post in the group above what your pets current diet is and medical conditions and we will help you find a more nutritious and safer diet.

Save the pet food. Do NOT release it to Purina in any circumstances.

Contact your vet and request a copy of your pets medical records. Ask the vet to report your concerns to Purina.

Report it to the FDA (https://truthaboutpetfood.com/report-a-suspect-risk-pet.../)

Report it to Purina (https://www.purina.com/contact-us)

Do NOT agree to send them the food. If you feel compelled to do so, only send a small portion. Keep the rest of the food in the freezer.

Do NOT send the medical records to Purina.

Document your conversation with Purina.

Purina may eventually say they will pay your vet bills and reimburse you for your pet food. If you agree to this they will ask you to sign a form which will prohibit you from taking legal action. Eventually, if there is a class action lawsuit you will be unable to join if you do this or if you want to file your own lawsuit.

Consider getting your pet food tested:(https://truthaboutpetfood.com/help-to-check-your-pet-food/) This would be helpful if you want to pursue legal action.

Purina has already been notified by numerous pet owners and they have not done anything to alert unsuspecting pet parents. Initially, there were offering to reimburse the pet owners for their pet food. Currently, they are offering pet parents $10 in coupons (which is what Hills offered me for my dead dog) and having a third party contact the pet parents.

Eventually, we may see Purina pet food become “unavailable” on the store shelves. This is called a silent recall. The pet food manufacturer doesn’t want to admit there is a problem with the product, so they start pulling the products off the shelves quietly. (Hills did this for 60 days before the recall)."
