7 comments It was the news no one wants to hear. My friend Sarah came over with tears rolling down her cheeks and told me “Stella has cancer”. As I pulled her in and held her, I could feel my chest tighten, my stomach was suddenly upset, and my vision blurred a bit as I tried to hold in my tears. I wanted to be strong for her, but all I could think about was poor Stelly and the long road she had in front of her.

3 comments  Jimmy Van Patten, of Natural Balance speaks, as Charlie Piscitello, SVP, Chief People Officer at PETCO listens Last Saturday, a group of us from PETCO, the PETCO Foundation and Natural Balance Pet Foods attended the 3rd Annual Guide Dogs Heroes Brunch in Palm Springs, CA. The annual Heroes Brunch is hosted by Guide Dogs of the Desert to acknowledge the work of its volunteers, puppy raisers, supporters and donors from the past year.

As part of National Guide Dog Month last May, PETCO and Natural Balance raised over $600,000 Continue reading » Leave a comment On Dec. 12 we had our second installment of Photos With Santa at all PETCO stores.

A number of months ago, I harvested the grapes in my vegetable garden. In the process a number of them fell on the ground. I didn’t think too much of that and left them to become raisins and then mulch. In the process of puttering in the garden, little Pocket (my 10 pound pit bull foster) was wandering around behind me gobbling up random stuff on the ground as puppies will do. I noticed that she was munching on the little shriveled grapes and, knowing that grapes can be bad for dogs, stopped her and made a mental note to keep an eye on whether she seemed to get sick from them. |

Did you know there is an organization that exists specifically to influence laws and regulations about pets?
