Rescued Puppies Reunite in Branford!

Last Christmas police apprehended a man walking around aimlessley holding a cooler in Branford.  He was undoubtedly looking for a place to leave it.  And thank goodness the police stopped him.  Inside the cooler were 8 puppies!  The new born pups and their Mom were taken to New Haven Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine on Christmas Day where they were cared for.  Once the puppies were old enough, they were all adopted.  And just last weekend all of the happy puppies came together for a family reunion in the middle of Branford Towne Green.  What a great ending!!!  Take a look at the lucky pups in the pic below courtesy of the Branford Eagle.

Best Friends is Collecting Hair for Gulf Coast Oil Spill

Renovations Week 4

Soon to be our Indoor/Outdoor Luxury Suites!!

Get Your Dog Groomed at Best Friends and Help Save the Environment!

As you know, there has been a major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  Now there is a way you can help the clean up efforts.  A non-profit organization called Matter of Trust is collecting donations of clean hair and fur (human and animal) to clean up the oil in the ocean. Hair is hydrophobic which means it repels water and it's also great for absorbing oil (greasy hair means that hair collects oil). So, Matter of Trust has volunteers making devices called hair mats and hair booms which are made out of recycled hair and nylons.  When these are placed in the oil filled water, the oil is absorbed.

Best Friends Pet Care will be donating all hair clippings to Matter of Trust to assist in the Oil Spill clean up. Give us a call at 203-393-3126 to schedule an appointment for your dog or cat today!

Below is a video which was posted on YouTube.  It explains what Matter of Trust is doing and how everything works.

Friendly Dog Monthly Meetup Group

Our Meetup Group this past Saturday was a success and lots of people were able to come out, with their dogs, and play outside in the great weather!  Check out some of our pictures from this past weekend.  Our next Meetup Group will be on Saturday, June 12th from 11am-1pm.  Not a member yet?  Sign up today! It's FREE and it's a great way to socialize your dog and meet other local dog owners in the area.

Renovations Week 2
