Dog people love being with their dogs and getting together with other dog lovers, don't we? That's why we here at Godfrey's enjoy planning fun events for you and your dog. We love the positive energy flow, the stories, the lessons learned, laughs, the puppy kisses, hugs, and the antics of our four-legged customers. We have a real commitment to the ultimate health and wellness of dogs, so you'll see events focused on learning more about just that. And dogs, please remember to keep your humans on a leash when visiting us. We want everyone to be safe here at Godfrey's! VISIT THIS PAGE AGAIN SOON. WE ARE BUSY PLANNING MORE EDUCATIONAL AND FUN EVENTS!
Sat., Feb. 13, 2010:"Valentine's Day Whine & Dine Brunch for Canines" 10am-4pm NEW Enjoying good food has always been a part of celebrating Valentine's Day with the one(s) we love. Some of us plan intimate dinners at home, some like to celebrate at their favorite restaurant, and for others a pizza and a glass of wine shared at home with our special valentine does the trick. And when you think about those you hold most near and dear to your heart, we know that you want to remember your furry loved one(s) on this special occasion. In fact, their unconditional love for us is unwavering. What better occasion to celebrate that bond than on Valentine's Day!
We thought that this would be a perfect occasion to introduce our customers, both furry and human, to some new and exciting ways to freshen up meal time for their dogs, and that's what our Brunch is all about! In this way, you'll be able to see, touch, and smell these healthy, human-grade canine foods to feel comfortable with new ways of feeding your dog. Feeding them better whole human-grade foods doesn't have to be scary. Ease into it. Add good stuff as a 'topper' to their normal food. We bet you'll find out how satisfying it is to feed your dog excellent foods that energize the body and nourish the soul.
Here's what we'll be serving for our complimentary "Whine & Dine Brunch Canine Brunch": Food and Treats:od and Treats:

If you are concerned about your dog's vomiting, gas, or other digestive problems, a veterinary exam will help rule out problems that require medical therapy. But if your dog suffers from common symptoms of impaired digestion — grass-eating and vomiting, chronic stomach upset, bad breath or “clear-the-room” gas, the solution may be Dog-Wa . It’s a safe and effective liquid dog supplement you mix with water or food. Dog-Wa’s fresh herbs soothe your dog’s stomach, aid digestion, reduce dog gas, and promote fresh breath.

Questions are welcome, too! Therapeutic massage is a relatively new service to be offered for dogs. It is one of many modalities now being offered to improve animal health and facilitate rehabilitation. Lorraine Storms of Therapetz maintains certifications in Feline, Canine, and Equine Massage from Integrated Touch Therapy, Inc.® located in Circleville, Ohio. She trained exclusively with Patricia Whalen-Shaw, a licensed massage therapist in Ohio, both nationally certified by the NCBTMB and sports-massage certified.
Lorraine joined us a few weeks ago to introduce her services in canine massage. She offered free mini-massages for all dogs who came shopping and just about every dog took her up on her offer! Interest was high so we decided to host Lorraine here on Nov. 8 and Dec. 6 so that she could offer private massage appointments in a quiet atmosphere. How do dogs benefit from massage therapy?
The benefits of massage therapy for people, as well as pets, are many. There are dozens of different types of massage, but for most of them the benefits include the following:
• relief from pain, stress and anxiety • relaxes tight muscles & improves joint mobility • helps alleviate tension headaches, muscular back pain and repetitive motion injuries • compliments physical therapy & chiropractic care • improves blood & lymph circulation • lowers blood pressure • flushes toxins from the body • promotes healing of tissues by increasing circulation • enhances muscle tone and increases range of motion
********** HELP LOCAL PETS IN NEED ********** Godfrey's is a collection point for the Animal Rescue League of Berks County. Please see their web site for items they are currently in need of. Godfrey's is also a drop-off collection point for the CART (County Animal Response Team) program for the Humane Society of Berks County. We want to help the lives of dogs in tough situations feel better. Animals in this program come into the shelter because they are victims of catastrophes (fires, floods, etc.), sudden illness or death of owners, and also because of domestic violence cases where the dog must be removed from the home immediately. Dogs in these situations need food and basic supplies. For this program, we are equipped to accept donations of the following: unopened food and treats, peanut butter, water and food bowls, sanitizable pet toys (Kong, nylabone, etc.), dog shampoo, and gently used but clean (or new, of course!) toys, beds, collars and leashes. PLEASE NOTE: Please do not bring donations of cat litter.
