Fundraising for The American Brittany Rescue

Every year Best Friends Pet Care puts up their Angel Tree...this is a great way to fundraise money, food, bedding, etc for local rescues. Throughout the months of November and December, pet lovers can stop by their local Best Friends and make a much needed donations.

This year we have adopted the American Brittany Rescue . They are a foster based rescue and are in need of loving homes for their list of available dogs. If you cannot adopt a Brittany, than maybe you can donate a financial gift to them.

Training for the Holiday Season

Best Friends Pet Care offers several training options for your new puppy. Many families consider bringing home a new puppy and while it's true that Christmas only comes once a year, puppies are here for a lifetime. A well behaved puppy becomes a well behaved dog and a true member of your family.

Great Dane




Jack Russel

Once you've done your homework on which breed is the right fit for your family and have picked out the cutest of the bunch and the excitement of having your new addition home is over, now comes time to train your puppy.

We offer a 6 week class setting training where you attend with your puppy and learn while he's learning. We also offer an in-house training program where you board your puppy and we do the training. We follow up with you after the specified period of time. Both programs are successful, it boils down to what works for you and your family!

Give us a call at 586-792-3000 to inquire which training program would work best for you and your new puppy!

And of course, all of the above applies to adult dogs too...it's never too late to train a dog! And yes an old dog CAN learn new tricks

Back to school is the perfect time for dog obedience!

When school starts and the kids are back on a schedule and working hard at their studies, it is the perfect time to get your dog on a schedule and work on their studies (obedience) too!

Obedience training will offer your dog mental stimulation while providing some one-on-one bonding time for you and your dog. This can go a long way in getting a dog adjusted to a new routine.

Best Friends offers several options in dog training: Puppy Manners and Basic Obedience are taught in a class setting. You and your dog will be instructed throughtout the 6-week program on sit, stay, heel, down, come, leave it and more. Your dog will also have the opportunity for becoming social (which is especially important if this is the issue that brings you to class). We also offer private classes and our board and train program.

Our training classes are starting at the end of September so give us a call to reserve your spot now. 586-792-3000
