Subject: Happy Earth Day! Big Sale, Win Prizes!

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

Our favorite day is here again! This year for Earth Day, we will share some of our favorite eco friendly brands here and on our social media.

BUT first, we'd like to remind you about our yearly Prize Drawing and Store Wide SALE!


EARTH DAY SALE INFO: 
In honor of our favorite day of the year, we thought we’d offer you a Sale

On Saturday April 20th from 10-5, take 15% off of all regularly priced items that aren’t food! Better yet, if you bring us gently used pet supplies (or purchase something to donate while you’re here), you can increase your discount to 20%! We will be donating these items to local rescues.


Details About The Sale:

- This is not a Secret Sale - you need not be sneaky at the register to get your discount, just come on in and stock up! Everyone is welcome, of course!

- Why no food on sale? We try to keep our margins slim, and we’re proud of how hard we work to not mark up products more than we need to. The margins on food are always very slim, so there’s not a lot of room to mark them down. Some folks have deeper sales at their stores, but many people who price shop tell us that our regular prices beat many other stores they’ve been in. Some stores mark up all of the toys and treats quite a bit so that their food can be discounted a bit more, but we’d prefer to keep all of our margins as narrow as we can. 

- What counts as "food" for the sale? Complete diets that you’d put in a bowl for dinner are food. Even though treats and chews can be eaten, they’re still eligible for the sale!

- What sorts of items can you donate? For cats: small crates, litter, foods, metal or ceramic bowls, and clean beds are often most needed. For dogs: crates of any size are incredibly useful, as are clean beds and blankets, stainless bowls, toys (please make sure they are gently used and clean), treats, and leashes and harnesses of all sizes.

These sales are a great opportunity to stock up and save $$$ on items you know you'll use like joint supplements, fish oil, Plaque Off and chew bones, or pick up that new leash and collar set you've had your eyes on!

A bit about Crag Law Center:

Through a unique model of “legal aid for the environment,” Crag provides free and low-cost legal services to people who are working on the ground to protect our environment, climate and communities. Their strategy is to push back against the erosion of environmental protections on public lands, elevate the voices of Tribes and other traditionally underrepresented groups, and advance climate policy that will preserve the prosperity and safety of generations to come. They aim to make environmental laws work for everyone, support civic engagement, and hold decision-makers accountable for land management and environmental protections.

Green brands going above and beyond!

Greenline's bags are specially processed to biodegrade in landfill (i.e. oxygen-less, dark, & dry) conditions. They also make Poop Bag Holders out of old festival banners, come check them out!


Shameless Pets - Reducing waste is their priority!

Up Cycle at Home!


We are always trying to come up with more green practices we can incorporate into our lives as pet owners. We wanted to share an up-cycle idea for your dogs' Kong/Toppl/Pupsicle toys. You can use those food scraps you would otherwise throw away.

For example, try using scraps like broccoli or kale stems, carrot tops, browned apple slices, and egg shells. You can just throw them in a blender or food processor with some dog safe bone broth, raw goat milk, or unflavored and unsweetened yogurt. Pour the mix into your toys and freeze for longer mental enrichment time.

Make sure to avoid the following because they can be toxic: grapes/raisins, avocado peel, fruit pits, onions, potato skins, persimmons, chicken bones, and scallions. We highly recommend The BK Pets Facebook or Instagram page for more frozen treat ideas.


Enrichment toys on sale on April 20th!
