Happy Easter!

April is National Pet First Aid Awareness Month and Nana will be teaching a free class at The Carolinas Animal Hospital, we are doing a segment on WBTV, we have a fantastic new dog food update, and of course its almost EASTER! 


Upcoming Classes & Events
Nana's has some really great events going on! We have recently teamed up with The Carolinas Animal Hospital to take part in their new Client Education Series. They have a brand new educational center and are offering three free classes CAHthis month! Nana's will be teaching a one hour hiking and walking class April 30th. The classes require an RSPV at least three days before the class, as seating is limited. Take advantage of this great opportunity to attend the free classes! The Carolinas Animal Hospital has put together an excellent program.

FRR

Flint River Ranch 
Just like humans, the food dogs and cats consume have a huge impact on their well-being. As the saying goes "garbage in, garbage out." The food your pets eat affects their mood and energy, bowels and digestion and coat and skin. As pet parents, we all want our furry family members to operate at their best potential. 

Flint River Ranch has taken a holistic, natural and organic take on pet food using human grade meats, healthy carbs, supplemental vitamins, minerals and herbs. Having been in business over 20 years, Flint River has NEVER had a recall on any food product. Unlike many of these common brands.

My border collie Sophie, who has pancreatic and food sensitivity issues has been eating this food for ten years and it completely agrees with her system. Many of the animals I take care of in my pet sitting business have switched over to Flint River and have loved it! Even the pickiest eaters cannot get enough of this food. Take a few moments to check it out and consider making the switch.

 
Easter
DID YOU KNOW?
While Easter Lilies are beautiful this time of year, they can cause severe issues for your feline friends. According to Animal Poison Control Center, "Cats that ingest as few as one or two leaves, or even a small amount of pollen while grooming their fur, can suffer severe kidney failure."
