We celebrate our 5th year anniversary this week! What started as a dream to bring better, cleaner products to the dogs and cats of the valley, has grown so much in the last 5 years. This is all due to you, my customers and friends. A small business in today's world of online mega stores is no small feat, but they can't compete with the love, care and concern we have for your furry friend. Each product hand selected and something we feel confident giving our own pets. For our 5th anniversary, we are compiling stories of pets that we have helped through the years. We would love to hear from you. Please post here or send an email to [email protected] of ways The Well Balanced Paw or our staff have helped you. We will share these stories over the next few months as we celebrate you and your pets! Lastly please join us this Saturday for our anniversary celebration, the sidewalk sale is going to be fantastic, so many deals!!!! Plus free cake for you and FREE bark-aritas for the pups!🐶🐱🎂🍰🍸🍹Thanks for supporting a small business!!

Tip for Tuesday: Did you know your pets should not react to poison ivy like humans do (with rashes and blisters), BUT they can get the oils on their coats and transfer it to us. So be on the look out for spring's terrifying leaves of three. It's all over the area.
