Part of our mission at Green Acres Kennel Shop and ForceFreePets.com is to keep informed about the latest science and knowledge about pets, their care, behavior, nutrition, and how to make their lives with us the best life possible. Don shares that information in his two blogs. Below, he has included links to new or previously published articles that are especially timely.

Every month, team members are asked to share when another team member goes above and beyond on our Team Member of the Month bulletin board. Those individual recognitions are tallied up, and the team member receiving the most recognitions and the team member giving the most recognitions are announced at our monthly meeting and rewarded with a gift card. Thank you!

Green Acres Kennel Shop and ForceFreePets are small businesses that rely on other small businesses to do things for us while we tend to our area of expertise, which is caring for your pets. In this space, I will feature our business partners so you might benefit from their knowledge and experience as we do.
Last December, a horrendous storm damaged the roof of the store and our home. Thank you to Heather Kinney at Brogue Insurance and Financial Services for facilitating our insurance claim and to Jimmy Lee and his crew from Lee Builders for the new roof. Jimmy and his crew did a fantastic job quickly and at a fair price.
I highly recommend Heather Kinney at Brogue Insurance and Financial Services if you need commercial or personal insurance.
