Tie on your walking shoes and join fellow animal lovers for the 13th Annual PCS PetWalk at the Norfolk County Agricultural High School in Walpole. Enjoy a day of fun and don’t forget to bring the dog! This annual event is held to raise money for homeless animals cared for by the Purr-fect Cat Shelter. Ask friends, family and coworkers to sponsor you and collect donations to be turned in the day of the walk. Participants turning in sponsor money by 1pm will be eligible for a chance to win a $100 shopping spree at Especially for Pets! Participants meeting certain pledge levels will be eligible for prizes. The PetWalk is an approximate 3-mile wooded walk along the trails of the “Aggie” campus. A shorter paved route is also available for those who choose not to walk the wooded path or, collect donations and let the PCS Walk Team walk for you. Canine companions are welcome to join the fun and will receive a doggie bandanna and a goody bag from PetWalk Sponsor Especially for Pets (while supplies last). After your walk, head over to the field area for fun, music, refreshments and lots of great booths!

Fall in New England is a favorite time of year for many folks.  The cooler weather along with the colorful foliage make walking with your canine companion a real treat.

But, beware... The "creepy crawlies", in particular ticks, are still out there just lying in wait for you.  Although the temperature has dropped, the ticks are still around, and will be until the first frost.  What's worse is that the ticks that are out in the autumn are usually adult deer ticks and much more likely to be infected with Lyme disease than the younger ticks that are out in May and June.

Pet parents should be aware that the threat of ticks and Lyme disease is still present in the Fall.  If you use Frontline flea and tick prevention or a similar product, continue to use it.  If you use other methods to control these pests, continue to use those methods.  If you have never used flea and tick prevention products on your pet and would like to, or if you need more information, consult your pet's veterinarian for recommendations.  

Looking for a more natural solution?  Zoomin Groomin offers Defender Flea & Tick Natural Repellent Towelettes for dogs and cats.  Just ask your Zoomin Groomer about them.

Take precautions through the Fall, but don't let these little pests deter you and your furry buddy from enjoying a great walk along your favorite trail!
