During the entire month of February, Jensen's is demonstrating that they do, indeed, love serice dogs by asking customers if they would like to donate $1 or $5 to Guide Dogs of the Desert. Those who donate will be able to put their name on a paw print which will be displayed in the store. All Jensen's in the Coachella Valley will be participating, and Ambassador Dogs will be at each Jensen's on Monday, February 1st to help kick off the promotion. If you visit a Jensen's in February - please tell them how much you appreciate their efforts on behalf of Guide Dogs of the Desert - We look forward to seeing you there!

Trina's Tip of the Month

4-star
The month of February is a great excuse to purchase some chocolate. We all love our share of some extra treats around Valentines Day. Please remember that chocolate is toxic to our pets. Dogs have been known to sneak where they have never sneaked before. They will quickly grab a mouthful if available on a counter or low table. Depending on your dogs size and weight and the amount they consume will determine the amount of veterinarian attention they will need to receive. If your dog happens to ingest chocolate you should contact your veterinarian for advice.

If you have children or grandchildren in the home, please watch that your pet does not ingest school projects or decorations that have been so carefully created. The glues, sequins and other decorations can be harmful if swallowed or lodged in your pet's mouth.
