We completed the 2nd Halloween Costume Contest for Canine and Felines on 10/27/07 and it was a great deal of fun and very successful in raising some much needed funds. All proceeds go to the John Todd Jr. Good Samaritan Memorial Fund which is a pet memorial fund that is used to help families who encounter a pet health-care problem yet lack access to sufficient funds to cover the medical costs. An account has been established which is being funded predominately by donations provided by LCAH , its employees and clients. Additional outreach efforts like the Halloween costume contest are being held to help grow this account. Other efforts will include the introduction of a memorial garden and a Wall of Fame memoralizing exceptional pets. The Halloween pet costume contest serves as our main fund raiser.
We continue our educational and learning programs by celebrating again that the month of February 2008 is Pet Dental Health Care Month. Dental care is a very important part of our practice for the obvious reason that 85% of all dogs and cats that are 3 years of age or older have gingivitis, which is the first stage of dental disease that leads to periodontal disease, tooth loss and even systemic disease such as heart, liver and/or kidney infections. To encourage clients to take advantage of this opportunity, we will be providing 15% discounts on all dental services and products for the month of February upon client request. Contact our front office team to set up your appointments today.
We also are participating with AKC and Pfizer's National Canine Weight Check Month being held in February and March 2008. This is a pet obesity awareness campaign that allows for free pet weight checks and body condition assessments, and participating clients will also receive a nice gift and an opportunity to win a pet portrait by a nationally recognized portrait artists. Please contact us for more information.
The 2nd annual Easter Bunny Benefit for the Humane Society Mountain Shelter was a huge success. It was held on 3/24/07 and $1200 was raised for the animal shelter that serve Towns and Union County. It was great fun for the whole family (4 legged furry members too) and it was for a great and worthy cause. We will have a 3rd annual benefit for the humane society in 2008, however it will be held in conjunction with July the 4th.
