Bernadette
Bernadette is a 3-year-old Domestic Short Hair. She's a sweet girl who likes having fun! Bernadette was brought to the shelter because her previous guardians were moving and decided to leave her behind. She's hoping to find her forever home this time around. Bernadette is an affectionate girl who enjoys being pampered with plenty of pets and full-body massages. She also likes being held and cuddled. Bernadette is very playful and enjoys playing with balls, wand toys, and other cat toys. She would love to find a new home with lots of comfortable spots for afternoon naps. Bernadette is already spayed. She will make a wonderful companion for her future adopter.

But don't forget Fall is a fabulous time for Washingtonian's to travel. So shake off those back to school blues.....go enjoy a long weekend in the mountains, a relaxing weekend at the beach, or a few days exploring in the country, you can enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are in good hands with their favorite Pet Care Professional from Becky's Pet Care.

September is Pet Smile Month ....
|
During September participating veterinary practices will provide FREE dental checks for pets. An alarming high percentage of our pets are in need of dental treatment. This means that they are walking around with infection and inflammation in their mouths. Not only is there infection in the mouth - but the infections can spread throughout the whole body. It is important to remember that most dental disease is treatable.
