Shopping Local For Pet Health and Community Wellness This Winter
Recalls on treats and pet food from China, money going to far-away lands instead of supporting your neighbors here locally, big-box purchases instead of small-batch delights – there are so many reasons to support local businesses here in Vancouver, Portland and surrounding towns.
If you’ve been in to our clinic at all in the last few years, you’ve seen treats by Battle Ground Barkery at our counter. These natural treats are made by high school students with disabilities at BGHS… Continue reading
