Will Work for Treats

Today marks the 12^th annual Take Your Dog To Work Day (TYDTWDay), created to celebrate the great companions dogs make and to encourage their adoption from humane societies, animal shelters and breed rescue clubs.  The annual event asks pet lovers to celebrate the humane-canine bond and promote pet adoption by encouraging their employers to support TYDTWDay by allowing employees’ four-legged family members to join them at work.  Send us a photo of your pup at work and we may posted it in our next blog post, bentleyBarks@gmail.com.

Furry Travelers Take to the Friendly Skies

Thousands of pets take to the friendly skies each year. While smaller pups can fly in the cabin, larger pooches can fly comfortably in the pressurized cargo of the aircraft. Before your furry traveler takes to the sky, here are some important tips:

• Update your pet’s microchip contact information, including temporary contact information where you can be reached during your vacation.

• Purchase an IATA compliant pet carrier crate in which Fido can comfortable stand, lie down and turn around.

• Make sure your pet’s collar tag will not be caught in the carrier doors. Fido’s tag should include name, phone number and microchip number. As an extra precaution, attach a second tag with the destination address and contact information.

• Attach a photo of Fido to the outside of the create. Also include name, contact information of your destination. Carry a photo of your pet with you.

• Within 10 days of travel, obtain a health certificate from your vet, including an update on vaccinations.

• Bring a copy of your pet’s medical records.

• Travel with a pooch’s first aid kit.

• Bring any medications, including some for anxiety, diarrheal and motion sickness.

• Take along fresh water. For longer flights, attach a small pouch of dry food to the outside of the carrier.

• Select direct flights to minimize exposure to extreme temperatures or stress of siting in the cargo hold.

• Always remain on the same flight as your pet. Let the airline personnel know that you are traveling with your pooch.

• Make sure to review the airline’s guidelines for additional travel requirements. Another great resource is www.pettravel.com/airline_rules.cfm.

Fido's Food Cart

Who doesn’t love a good food cart for a quick bite?  We believe Fido deserves the same yummy experience…and the awesome folks at Bocce’s Baker couldn’t agree more.  The all-natural, organic dog biscuit company is bringing The Biscuit Bike to the streets of NYC.  Fido can select from yummy healthy treats featuring flavors like Beef Bourguinon, PBnJ, Grandma’s Apple Pie.  There will also be plenty of refreshments to keep him/her hydrated while socializing at dog-runs all over the city, including Central Park, Washington Square Park, Union Square and Battery Park.  If you are in NYC you can track down the fido friendly food cart through twitter.  We are so jealous of our NYC pooches.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Here are a few helpful tips to make your pup’s St. Patrick’s Day a happy one…


• Alcohol is toxic for pets so no matter how much they might beg for your green colored beer, don’t give in. Your pup can join the festivities with beer that is safe for dogs, like Dog Beer or Bowser Beer.


• Keep your pup from getting pinched by dressing them up in a cute Irish costume or tshirt. If thinking of dying your pup green for the day, make sure to use non-toxic, all-natural vegetable dye.


• All the parades, bars and parties can be very overwhelming and even hazardous to your pup. Keep your afternoon walks to quieter streets and away from crowded areas of the city. If you are hosting a party, keep you pup in a room away from the action so they can relax and remain safe.
