Pet Appreciation Day - 30SEP06

Please join us for another fun-filled, and hopefully rain free day. The events will include:

ALL DAY– Representatives from food companies will be on hand to answer questions about pet nutrition. Green Acres’ Groomers and Trainers will be available for questions as well. Nail Trims will only be $4 and all proceeds will be donated to the Bangor Humane Society Shed & Emily Fund.

Educational Events

9AM & 3PM—Recall Clinic—Learn how to teach your dog to come reliably with help from the Green Acres’ training staff. Practice in the training field with professional assistance.

9AM-11AM—Understanding Pet Nutrition—This seminar will focus on nutrition as the foundation of good health. We’ll expose the many myths about pet nutrition and discuss the often contradictory information on what types of food are best for the average dog and cat. We will also use the Green Acres Kennel Shop food comparison database to look at several types of foods including their advantages, disadvantages, risks and what they really cost.

10AM & 4PM—Walking Politely Clinic—Let our training staff teach you how to keep your dog from pulling on leash and to walk nicely by your side, without using a choke or prong collar. Handouts and opportunities to practice will be available.

To guarantee your place in any of the above sessions, please register ahead of time by sending in a $5 registration fee to reserve your spot. All registration fees will be donated to the Bangor Humane Society Shed and Emily Fund. Walk-ins will be allowed as space permits.
