We know it sounds silly but we aren’t talking about filing systems! Much as our own lives, our pets have portions of their lives that require organizing. A little leg work now means fewer headaches later! Read on …
Have you scheduled your pet’s next veterinary visit? At the start of each new year, we schedule our pet’s visits and necessary vaccinations. Mark it on your calendar right away then flip to December and put a reminder at the end of the month to schedule after the new year. You’re guaranteed to stay on track!
Does your pet take regular medications? To save some cash, explore discounted medications at a variety of websites. Some of our faves: Wysong, Allivet, Drs. Foster and Smith, and 1-800-PetMeds. A few even offer email reminders for refills; take advantage of this service! It will ensure your pet is never without his meds!
You can’t help but giggle when you meet this trio of poodles! As semi-recent transplants from Virginia, Hugo, Ralph, and Mimsy needed some coaxing to find their Jersey swagger. With daily walks and some pampering from Planet Poodle, these pups now rule their neighborhood!
Their excitement for a daily walk is obvious: happy barks and lots of dancing into their harnesses and leashes before heading out the door! Then there’s the onion grass to smell and people stopping to squeal with delight at their level of cuteness … what an adventure!
Hugo can be shy; he’s more a follower than a leader and is smitten with his mom! Ralph thinks of himself as leader of the pack; he loves playing ball and enjoys a long back scratch! Mimsy enjoys the outdoors but prefers to snuggle into your arm (and a really soft fleece!) while out! These little dogs have BIG personalities – and they’re adorable to boot!
Hi! I’m Kallie. I am a 6 month old gal who is looking for a family who can treat me like the Southern Belle that I am! Transplanted from Virginia; I came to the Monmouth County SPCA in search of a family to call my own. Since arriving in New Jersey, I have been learning to come out of my shell. I can be shy at first but once I get to know you I will be at your side all of the time.
I love other dogs and I hope to find a home where I can have some canine siblings. I’ll be a great little sister too!!! I really love to play and can often be found rolling around in the grass. [continue reading…]
Hi there! My name is Chloe. I am a front-declawed, 10-year-old, lovely lady. I’m a super sweet girl who came to the Monmouth County SPCA because my previous owner decided he did not want me anymore.
After I arrived at the shelter, the nice medical staff discovered that I am diabetic. It’s actually really easy and cheap to treat, so if you are looking for a “special needs” kitty cat, I would be a great one to adopt!!!! [continue reading…]

There are many types of arthritis; the most common ones are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Both differ in symptoms and causes.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the joints are painful, swollen and stiff. The immune system is not balanced and starts to attack its own joints. Because the immune system is not balanced many other symptoms that are not related to joints are present such as fever, fatigue, recurring infections, cold and allergies. [continue reading…]
Lots of dogs (and people, too!) have “likes” and dislikes.” Not Mac. He has “likes” and “LOVES!”
Because Mac gets to see a River Run dog walker each weekday, we’ve been lucky to get to know him so well! Mac likes playing ball, napping in the sun, and eating treats from his KONG bone. Mac likes grass, but we won’t let him eat it! He knows we aren’t party-poopers; we’re just making sure he doesn’t get sick and miss a trip to his new favorite place: the DOG PARK! [continue reading…]
A long walk isn’t only good for your dog’s figure … it’s also good for his mind! Besides the physical benefits of muscle toning and expending his pent up energy for the day, a walk allows your pet to get his mind working by exploring his surroundings; socializing with you, other people and animals; and practicing any training or commands he’s mastering. A tired dog is a happy dog and happy is good! Let a River Run dog walker help you and your dog get to a happy place! Call us to set up an initial consultation today!
