Dog lovers and their dogs love getting together with other dog lovers, don't we?

That's why we here at Godfrey's enjoy planning fun events for you and your dog!

  

We love the positive energy flow, the stories, the lessons learned, laughs, the puppy kisses, hugs, and the antics of our four-legged customers.

We have a real commitment to the ultimate health and wellness of dogs, so you'll see events focused on learning more about just that. And dogs, please remember to keep your humans on a leash when visiting us. We want everyone to be safe here at Godfrey's!

 Wishing all of you some fun weeks preparing for the holidays.

 

 And as you go about your holiday planning and shopping, please "share" Godfrey's with your friends! We really appreciate your "word of mouth" in letting others know about us and who we are and what we do at Godfrey's!

"FOOD is MEDICINE for ANIMALS,TOO!

Informal Presentation and Q&A

by Billy Hoekman

Wednesday, April 24, 4pm-6pm

Billy Hoekman, vice president of nutrition and communication for Green Juju, will speak from 4 to 6 p.m., April 24, at Godfrey’s-Welcome to Dogdom. Attendees will receive a free pint of Green Juju goat’s milk and a swag bag of goodies.

 

Involved in formulation, product development, working with farmers, science education, sales and marketing, he participates in expert panels and speaks nationally and internationally at universities, conferences and public libraries. Hoekman has served on the board of directors for multiple organizations, attends Association of American Feed Control Officials meetings and has published numerous articles.

 

Barb Emmett, owner of Godfrey’s, says that Hoeckman will address the questions, “Does what your dog eats make a difference in their overall health and wellness? What do we know today about nutritional needs for dogs? If fresh foods are important as veterinarian researcher Dr. Anna Hielm Bjorkman, from the University of Helsinki, has reported, then what kinds of fresh foods should we add? Why should we care? So many commercial food choices out there: kibble, gently cooked, canned, dehydrated, freeze-dried, raw!

How do Green Juju foods make this easier?”

 

Admission is free.

For reservations (required) call Godfrey's at 610-777-5755.

INFORMATION FROM GLENN: “Since time slots do not allow time for de-matting dogs, it is very important that dogs are free of mats. It would not be fair nor in your dogs best interest for me to wash them with mats. It would only make things worse and I will not do that to any of my 4 legged friends. Also, I prefer to blow dry your dog totally dry. This helps to make them look and feel their best. It also keeps them from getting mats. Blowing a large dog like can take over 1 hour and the bath is 20 minutes.”

 

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CALL GLENN AT 540-319-0052. THE BEST DAYS TO CALL HIM ARE FRIDAY, SATURDAY OR SUNDAY.

 

COST:   $40, PAYMENT VIA CHECK OR CASH.

Keystone Pet Enhanced Therapy Services (KPETS), a 501C-3 organization originating in Lancaster, PA. Their mission: "Promoting the Healing and Rehabilitation Benefits of the Animal/Human Bond." Sounds pretty powerful to me!

We held the first KPETS classes for Berks County here in April and May 2012. Charlie and Lake, Barb Emmett's two golden retrievers, had gone through the KPETS program and were registered KPETS therapy dogs, who have since crossed over Rainbow Bridge. Ask her or Pat, her husband, about the organiztion and the program if you are interested.

     Charlie and Lake, ready for a KPETS visit!

First Step: KPETS ORIENTATION session

Second Step:  Attend KPETS Group Evaluation session This session is to assess your dog for future therapy visits. Basic obedience is needed. Socialization, response to loud noises, interaction with strangers, rough petting, reactions to other dogs, etc. will all be assessed. Prerequisite: attendance at a KETS Orientation session.

Third  Step: Two separate on-site evaluations

On-site evaluations are scheduled directly with each evaluator for convenience.

This will give you some “on-the-job” training as well as allow the KPETS evaluator see how your dog handles actual real life situations.

Their volunteer opportunities for you and your dog include:

Visiting Opportunities
Long term care facilities
Reading to Dogs Programs
Rehab – with physical, occupational, speech, cognitive therapies, etc.
Special needs children
