Dog of the Week


My name is Henry and I'm having a blast playing with all my buddies in the play yard at Best Friends!  I'd love to make even more friends too.  Remember when you're boarding here for the first time, your first night is free!

Best Friends Donates Fur for the Oil Spill!

A non profit organizaqtion called Matter of Trust is collecting donations of clean hair and fur of all kinds to clean up the oil in the ocean.  Hair is hydrophobic which means it repels water, it is also great for absorbing oil (greasy hair means that hair collects oil).  So Matter of Trust has volunteers making devices called hair mats and hair booms out of recycled hair and nylons - which are then placed in the water to soak up the oil.


Schedule your dog for a grooming today.  Best Friends Pet Care will be donating all hair clippings to Matter of Trust to assist in the Oil Spill clean up.  Give us a call at 919-596-0235 and start saving the world!

Here is a video that was posted on youtube.com explaining what Matter of Trust is doing and how it works!!
