PET FRIENDLY VALENTINE'S DAY

TIPS AND PRECAUTIONS TO KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE ON VALENTINE'S DAY.

As Valentines Day approaches it is fun to recognize your sweetheart with special candies, flowers, and treats. Our furry friends are also special someones but giving them what we like to receive can be bad for them.

If you want to give your furry friend a special Valentine's Day treat, please make sure it’s pet friendly. We encourage extra hugs, belly rubs, and walks - weather permitting.

If you would like to give a special food treat or “cookie” we would recommend a tasty treat from Tuckers Doggie Delights in New Lenox or a local area pet store.
