You know you’ll be shopping anyway
Odds are you’re going to do some type of holiday shopping this year, so you might as well help out homeless animals while you’re doing it.
The charity Bring Pets Home has partnered with more than 140 retailers – yes, more than 140! – to help you maximize your holiday cheer. How? Go to www.bringpetshome.org when you do your online shopping this holiday season. Find the retailer you want. When you click on that store through Bring Pets Home, a part of your sale will be given back to the organization, which benefits shelter pets nationwide. (The percent varies by retailer. For example, Walmart gives back 4 percent. iTunes gives 5 percent. Some places even give up to 10 percent.)
So, this Christmas considering combining three fantastic things: shopping, the holidays and helping animals.

Pets in the paper – THE RETURN!
I’m sure all of you have both noticed and cared that I’ve been gone for the past six weeks. (It’s OK. I know you haven’t.) But now that I’m back from maternity leave, so the daily feature Pets in the Paper. Wahoo!

Another health insurance option available
Another health insurance option for pets in Oklahoma is available.
Purina offers two easy-to-use, comprehensive plans designed to help pet owners provide a lifetime of care for dogs and cats. Purina estimates there are about 1.9 million cats and dogs in Oklahoma.
“People love their pets like a member of the family and we believe no pet owner should be forced to let their wallets dictate the appropriate care when their dog or cat has an unexpected accident or illness,” PurinaCare chief executive and veterinarian David Goodnight said in press release. “PurinaCare helps give pet owners peace of mind that their beloved dog or cat is protected and will have access to high-quality care in the event any unforeseen issues arise.”
