Dog House Drive

The local Petco is collecting clean, intact used and new dog houses and other supplies on Saturday, November 17 at their store on 825 Brevard Road in Asheville.  The drive is in memory of Peggy Irwin who founded ChainFree Asheville, a local group that aims to provide fencing and dog houses to needy families. 

I will have more information about the drive on the Event Calendar of www.rescuepetsrule.com.  I wanted to highlight it here because some of you may be reading this blog from other parts of the country.  Not all pets are indoor only.  With winter on the way, wouldn’t it be a great idea to have a similar drive in your area?  Food for thought….

Petco Stainless Steel Bowl Recall

I was browsing several pet supply websites on Saturday. I noticed a small notice about a recall of stainless steel bowls sold at Petco and wanted to alert you.

It seems the bowls could potentially contain radioactive material. The link below details which bowls are involved in the recall and tells you to return them to the store for a refund:

If you recently purchased a stainless steel bowl at Petco, you should definitely take a look at the link.
