I want to apologize for letting our New Page get so out of date.  I knew I
hadn't updated it in a while when I saw the announcement of Apollo 11's
July 16th, 1969 moon landing was still here!  Just kidding.

Anyway, Tina and I have been very appreciative of all our great
customers helping us bring in new customers by telling their friends
about us.  Without doing any real advertising, our number of customers
has grown amazingly.
 So, while talking the other day, Tina and I came
up with the idea of a referral incentive of a free night's boarding for one
dog with every new customer's paid boarding visit.  That means, if you
send 100 new customers to us, and all 100 new customers board their
pet(s) with us, you will have 100 free nights of boarding for one dog.  
Now, this is dependant on the person you refer to us telling us that they
were sent by you.
     


Do you wonder how Beechwood Trails began?  We have been asked
numerous times, so I thought I would give you a short explanation.  
Trust me, I could talk for a day or two on how it all happened, but,
amazingly, I kept it short.  
How It Began

   
Pet nutrition is SO important.  Not only what's good nutrition, but
identifying what's bad.  What should be stayed far and clear of is as
important as what you should, after paying attention to the ingredient
list, feed your pets.  PLEASE pay attention to that ingredient list!!!  That
is your only way of knowing what goes in your pet's stomach.  Pay NO
attention to what commercials on TV, radio or in print, say.  Pay NO
attention to what your neighbor feeds their pet, what your vet says to
feed your pet, or what I say to feed your pet.  ONLY pay attention to
what that ingredient list says.  Now, if, after understanding what goes
into your pet's food by reading that ingredient list, you decide that Brand
A is what you should feed your pet, and then you hear on the news that
they lied, it's being recalled, and really you've been feeding your pet saw
dust and corn chips, then you've got a legal beef with that pet food
company.  But if that rare instance happens, you still made your choice
on good, clear and rational knowledge.  To keep that from happening,
you need to listen to folks who make it their business to give good ,
precise information.  Enter the
Whole Dog Journal.  These folks rate pet
foods, letting you know what's good, what's not so good and what's bad.  
If your pet's dry food ingredient list begins with corn or any other grain,
you are feeding your pet a grain based diet.  If your pet's canned food
ingredient list begins with water, you are feeding your pet mainly water.  
Neither of these scenarios are good.  Dogs and cats are carnivores.  The
number one thing on the ingredient list should be meat!  Throw in some
good, healthy and beneficial whole grains (
corn shouldn't be seen) and
some vegetables, and the pet probably won't mind you sneaking them in.
Just don't tell them it's in there, cause dogs want meat!  We're not just
trying to sell Canidae and Nature's Select Pet Foods; it's one of several
high quality foods on the market.  But PLEASE feed your pet one of
them, after you've determined that what you do feed is junk food.  How
can a pet owner know which ones are good?  Subscribe to the

Important News!                                                  

Friends, we are so very fortunate to have Carroll County Humane
Society's West Georgia Spay Neuter Clinic just a few miles away in Villa
Rica!  Offering low cost spay neuter is a great way to battle runaway pet
overpopulation.  Not only is this for folks who, because of the cost of
doing so,  would avoid spaying and neutering their pets, but it's a
wonderful place for all of us to save a buck.  

We need West Georgia Spay Neuter Clinic to stay in business, so please
take full advantage of their terrific prices!  Please call them and schedule
having your pet spayed and neutered.  Too, if you know someone who
can't/won't have their pets "fixed", and they are constantly having litters
they need to find homes for, give them a much needed gift of a "fixing".  
You'll not only help your neighbor, but you will do wonders for your
neighborhood.  Call 678-840-8072 or go to
www.westgeorgiaspayneuter.com
You wouldn't believe how many people have come in to take a tour of
the Lodge, and tell us about having used West Georgia Spay Neuter, and
are SO complementary!  We knew this was a great idea, and we're so
glad Carroll County has done such a bang-up job, and made something
we can all be proud of and use.
