Bone-Appetit!

Are you giving your dogs the right kind of bones? 
Bones can be a great natural source of calcium and phosphorus for canines. Both calcium and phosphorus are essential minerals for blood coagulation, muscles growth, nervous system function and bone and dental health. Chewing also can prevent boredom/destructive behavior. The key to maximizing the health benefits from bones is knowing which ones to avoid. Some bones can be too hard and cause broken teeth or enamel damage, some may splinter and cause internal traumas and some may cause nausea. Fetch has put together a short list of the good and the bad below as recommended by Pet-Meds and PetMD.com. If you have specific questions about what is OK to feed your dog, consult a licensed veterinarian.

The Good:
-Rawhide
-Raw Bones (excluding pork)
-Alternative Bone Treats (Dental Chews etc.)

The Bad:
-Cooked Bones (break and splinter easily)
-Pork Bones

Other suggestions to make sure that your pet is safe when chewing on bones are below:
-Limit chewing time to prevent them from breaking their teeth or swallowing pieces of bone.
-Start bone treats when they are puppies so they understand that it is a treat that is not meant to be swallowed.
-Make sure you are watching them while they chew so you can prevent hazardous behavior.
-Size matters; get the right sized bone for your dog. a good general rule of thumb is they should be larger than the length of their nose.
-Throw the bone away when it gets small enough to swallow/be eaten whole.

Fetch me a beer can!

Fetch has elected to not serve any bottled beers; now, before you freak out we have very valid reasons behind our bold decision. 

For starters, glass is already prohibited in the dog park. We want to make sure that the park (and patio) is free of broken glass so that everyone's pets have a safe place to play. Not only are cans a safer option for the park, cans have been scientifically classified to be superior to bottles.

Cans do a better job of negating oxygen and light exchange, two things that can ruin the taste and shelf life of your beer. Canned beer is also chilled faster and easier to transport. It costs more, and produces more pollution, to ship the same number of heavy glass bottles (weighing about 6 ounces each when their empty) than it does to transport a lighter weight packaging like the aluminum can (weighing less than an ounce each). 

Recycling aluminum is also easier and consumes less energy than glass. Did you know that an average aluminum can contains about 40% recycled material but a bottle only contains roughly 20%? 

Many craft breweries are using cans because they are cheaper to transport, cheaper to buy and don't require a separate machine to print paper labels. Think about how many amazing beers you've missed out on because they only distribute in cans!

We will publish a list of beers we will be serving closer to opening. Cans will be offered individually or in a bucket. Draft beers will be served in shatter proof pints and pitchers.

As always stay tuned for more updates!
