Check Out Better Buddies Month Of Love!

We already introduced you all to the  Better Buddies company before on Helping Paws NJ, but this month we have another reason to love the company even more.

Teaming up with the Best Friends Animal Society, Better Buddies has dedicated the month to donating beds to the homeless animals.  Creating the  “Month of Love”, Better Buddies plans this February to donate all sales made through their site to the purchase beds for these animals at The Best Friends Animal Society.

The Best Friends Animal Society serves as the nation’s largest no-kill animal sanctuary. The shelter opened their second and only west coast animal rescue center in Mission Hills, C.A.

It may be the last day of February, but you still can make a difference. For more information, please check out the link.

Bakery To Watch: Ralph’s Bakery!

By Courtney Leiva

We’ve already featured internet pet celebrity Ralph the Poodle on Helping Paws NJ, but this week, learn about Ralph’s latest business venture Ralph’s Bakery!

What Is Ralph’s Bakery? 

Ralph’s Bakery is Ralph’s very own treat line that contains gourmet dog treats!

When Did The Bakery Start? 

Ralph’s Bakery is going to be opening in January 2012

What Kind of Goodies and Treats can We Expect From Ralph’s?

In the beginning we are going to be coming out with just the signature treat, which every single dog that has had it has given it rave reviews! We will have designer inspired treats, and so much more in the coming months!

What has the response been like to Ralph’s bakery so far?

The response has been really good so far! We have been sending out samples, and everyone loves them so far!

What are Ralph’s Bakery’s plans for 2012?

Our plans for 2012 are to expand out line, and to start our designer inspired treats, along with getting the word out!

How did you come up with the little red box design?

We came up with the design of using a box, because we had made a treat that really gets tails waggin’, so we thought we needed to package them in a very unique and different way!

What kind of ingredients do Ralph’s bakery use? 

The ingredients that we use are all human grade, and we do not use corn, soy or preservatives in our treats!

The website where people can buy is here! The treats should be going up soon! If you have any other questions or if you need any more info let us know! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
