2009 Written by swedishbee

We are excited to announce that the staff at University Animal Medical and Dental Clinic has joined with Petey to help you raise happy and healthy pets. Topics will range from nutrition and diet to fun facts.

The UAMDC is located at 4650 Highway 49 South in Harrisburg, NC – just 5 miles from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The staff is wonderful, just ask Petey’s pal Madison. He’s been going there for almost 12 years – since he was just days old! If you are interested in their services, just call (704) 455-5907.

Lisa Weaver, an employee at UAMDC, also has her own pet-sitting service. Learn more about her services at www.lwpetsitter.com.

*If you have a particular question or subject you would like covered, please email your question with contact information topeteyspromise@gmail.com. Remember to put Petey’s Vet Corner in the subject line.

Many Reasons to Celebrate

It is finally spring and we have several reasons to celebrate, other than the beautiful NC weather.

First, April 3rd the Kindergarten through Second graders at WR Odell Elementary in Concord, NC held a fundraiser/dance to benefit Petey’s Promise. It was followed by a school-wide fundraiser to help raise food, and let me tell you, if you could see our office you would know it was a total and complete success. So, thanks again to the Odell Elementary Dragons for all of their hard work!

Second, thanks to Sara Barkman’s hard work, we now have our In Memoriam section up and running. If you have suffered the loss of a special pet in your life, please log on and let us know about him/her. Or, you can always email us, and we will upload it for you.

Also, don’t forget you can always upload photos of your pets 24 hours a day on our Photo Gallery page.

Last, but definitely not least, NHRA Top Fuel driver Cory McClenathan sported our Petey’s Promise logo all the way to the semi-finals at Atlanta Dragway, April 19th.

As our official spokesperson, Cory will be appearing and signing autographs for us September 16th, 5-7pm, at the Chick-fil-a on Concord Mills Boulevard in Concord, NC prior to the NHRA Nationals at the zMax dragway. So mark your calendars now!

Feed The Easter Bunny – Lose Weight!

Okay, you don’t really need to literally feed the Easter Bunny, but how about taking time out this holiday to help feed starving bunnies, cats, dogs and other animals?

Just think, instead of buying one of the many $5.00 bags of candy many will purchase to fill Easter baskets, you could donate that money instead to an animal shelter or organization. That one $5.00 donation could feed one cat for 20-30 days, or one dog for 10-20 days!

If you still aren’t convinced, look at it this way – you are not only helping to feed a starving animal, but you are saving yourself from gaining weight by eating all that candy. This is the new up-and-coming diet trend invented by Petey’s Promise. It is called, “Lose Weight by Sponsoring an Animal”.

Seriously, if you do decide to take our advice and help out a shelter or organization in your area, please take a moment to drop us a line with your name and what organization you helped. We would love to hear your story!

Happy Easter!

Liz & Petey
