Best Friends Pet Care helps clean up the oil spill!

I’m sure you have all heard of the massive oil spill in the gulf. Clean up efforts are underway, and we actually have an amazing opportunity to help! A non profit organization 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. After this big spill, hair is in high demand- and we can help!


So we here at Best Friends Pet Care are recycling our dogs hair to help in the gulf. If your dog is in need of a trim and you'd like to help the crisis in the gulf, please schedule a haircut or shedicure grooming appointment today.
