Pet Day is created, organized and staffed by students in the Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University. This is their way of giving back to the community and continuing a legacy of public service at the college.
So come on down to Magruder Hall on the Oregon State campus on the first Saturday in May, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Pet Day is free and open to the public. A few activities like the Fun Run and Dog Wash have small fees (cash only). Free parking is available at the west end of Reser Stadium.
Pets are welcome to attend Pet Day. However, pets need to be attended, leashed or contained with the owner at all times.

From the Whole Dog Journal:
Recreational marijuana has become legalized in 21 states and medical marijuana can be prescribed in 37 states. As marijuana becomes more widely available, people are looking for ways to partake of this drug without having to smoke it. This has created a market for marijuana "edibles,” also known as cannabis edibles.
Cannabis edibles are products that contain the psychoactive component of marijuana called delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). A variety of products are available as cannabis edibles, including gummies and other candies, mints, chocolates and chocolate bars, beverages, potato chips, and baked goods such as brownies and cookies. Unfortunately, many of these sweet or savory options are also attractive to our dogs. While we may have more self-control regarding how many edibles we consume at one time, dogs are more likely to ingest an entire package of any edibles they can reach because they taste delicious.

The U.S Food and Drug Administration has issued two Warning Letters in recent weeks. These are not recalls.
The FDA sent a Warning Letter to Primal Pet Foods, Inc. of Fairfield, California, due to serious safety violations which led to the food being adulterated.
The company produces multiple dog food and dog treat products.
For details, please visit this link:
FDA Issues Warning Letter to Primal Pet FoodsA Warning Letter has also been issued to Arrow Reliance Inc. of Tukwila, Washington, after Salmonella was found in unopened samples of Natural Selections Antibiotic & Grain-Free Chicken Recipe for Cats and Natural Selections Antibiotic & Grain-Free Turkey Recipe for Cats.
Arrow Reliance has also been warned about the use of peroxyacetic acid (PAA) in its pet food formulas. The FDA deems PAA to be an “unapproved/unsafe animal food additive”, however, Arrow Reliance says it uses the additive as a pathogen mitigation method to reduce the risk of E. coli and Salmonella in its raw pet food formulations.

Six
years ago in April, Mary Lou Finigan, greyhound advocate, adoption
placement volunteer, newsletter editor, and remarkable human and friend,
passed away. Mary Lou placed many of the greyhounds of our WVGL
readers, and some are still with their families today! Let's meet at
Alton Baker Park and stop by Mary Lou's Bench for a little remembrance
time before we begin our walk. We will gather at the Plaza area between
the rock garden and the restrooms, on the west side of the park.
