DDC/Play and Stay Fun!!

Here are a few pictures of some of our Play and Stay/Doggy Daycamp doggies!

Tired from so much playing!

Our Play and Stay continues to grow and all the dogs are having the time of their lives! They are eating well, sleeping better and have a lot less anxiety since they are worn out at the end of each day! For more information regarding daycamp and/or Play and Stay, please contact Best Friends Carmel at  (317) 848-7387. We hope to see your best friend in camp soon!

PSI Take Your Dog to Work Day!

Doggy Daycamp/Play and Stay are Here!

Best Friends Pet Care in Carmel is proud to announce that our Doggy Daycamp is officially open! Drop your pooch off in the morning and they will enjoy playing all day long with other dogs in our spacious camp room! Dogs must be at least 5 months of age, current on all required vaccinations with a clear fecal exam, well-socialized and not food/toy aggressive to qualify. All dogs are supervised by certified Doggy Daycamp counselors, and they are sure to be tuckered out at the end of a busy day at camp! Choose from a 1/2 day for $15 or a full day for $23, or choose one of several packages for money-saving options.

For those doggies boarding with us overnight, we now offer a Play and Stay option, which guarantees your best friend a minimum of 4 hours of playtime in camp per day, while resting in one of our spacious, climate-controlled suites at night. For one, all-inclusive price of just $39 per day, Play and Stay is the best option for your pooch to socialize with other dogs; dogs that are busy and active eat and sleep better, and have reduced anxiety.

PET OF THE WEEK~~~MacFarland O'Brien

MacFarland O'Brien

Yes, I am THE cutest Scottish Fold ever! Or at least the staff at Best Friends Pet Care in Carmel think so! This week was my first time here, but I quickly made Kitty City "my" room! All the people here say I'm one of their new favorites.  I love sitting in the window watching the birds, but most of all I love it when the staff come in and play with me! I adore having my face rubbed, and everyone says I have so much personality. I guess I make them laugh with my silly faces and the way I sit like a grumpy old grandpa sometimes. I'm not sure what they mean because I'm just being me, but anyway, I love it here! I hope I get to come and stay again very soon :-)

Tales for the Pet Lover's Heart

Beginning April 19, 2010, Purina and Kroger will feature tales from the 18 animal welfare organizations (AWOs) participating in the Tales for the Pet Lover’s Heart campaign on the http://www.talesforthepetloversheart.com/ website. Each participating AWO will receive a $3,000 donation from Purina and Kroger.

From April 19 through July 31, 2010, consumers will be able to learn more about the AWOs by reading their “tales” and to vote for the AWO they believe should receive the “Top Tale” award. Only one (1) vote per day per email address is permitted. Final voting results will be posted to the above website in early August. The five (5) AWOs receiving the most votes during this period (the “Finalists”) will then be asked to bring their pet tale to life via a video.

Videos prepared by the Finalists will be posted on the above website from September 6 through September 30, 2010. During this time consumers will be able to vote for their favorite Finalist video. Only one (1) vote per day per email address is permitted. Although consumers will be permitted to vote for their favorite Finalist video, the Finalist who receives the “Top Tale” award will be determined by Purina and Kroger representatives. The results will be posted on the above website in October. The Finalist determined to have submitted the “Top Tale” will receive an additional $50,000 donation and the remaining four Finalists will each receive an additional $11,500.

PET OF THE WEEK

REX ROBERTS

Hi! My name is Rex, but the staff at Best Friends Carmel call me "Squishies!" I am extremely soft and cuddly, and I absolutely love to roll around in Kitty City on the floor while people rub my belly and my ears. I love to be held and give "kitty kisses," and I will gladly ride around on your shoulder if you let me. I have been coming to Best Friends for a long time...they have such a nice place for me away from all the doggies, where I can sit in the window and watch the birdies. There are toys for me to play with, climbing perches and soft lambswool for me to lay on! I love it here!  

Play and Stay/Doggy Daycamp is HERE!
