Meet Kita The Lighthouse Animal Shelter Pet Of The Week

Each week we will spotlight a new animal from the Lighthouse Animal Shelter in New Bedford. This is made possible by NEW LEAF of Fall River. You can visit them at: https://www.newleafcanna.com

Kita is a spunky, energetic girl with a pure zest for life. She is up for any adventure. If you’re looking for a hiking partner, Kita is ready! Her favorite activities outdoors are chasing after toys, playing with her canine pals, and showing affection toward the humans!

Kita is a confident, outgoing girl who has never met a stranger. She is excited to be meet anyone new and may greet you with a big hug (or several hugs). Being an excitable, young pup, she’ll need to work on her manners.

Although Kita is quite the pogo stick when out in the yard with a dog friend, if you spend one-on-one time with her, she is receptive to manners training. She is ready to make her humans happy!

She is around 1 year old and is about 35-40 lb. now but she is underweight so she will weigh more.

Wolf & Bear, Co. offers 100% all-natural dog treats to greater New Bedford and Beyond

Anyone who owns, or has owned a dog knows that picking the right treats for their best friend can be challenging because of allergens, expense, and a dog’s preferences. Refusing to eat something because he or she is finicky is only part of it. A good pet owner only wants the best for their furry friends.

Then there are allergies. Over time those cheap, lesser quality treats do more harm than you can possibly imagine.

Trial and error is simply part of a method that all pet owners have to use until they find brands that are just right.

One local South Coast business saw the need for healthy, allergy-free, superior treats that are still affordable. Impossible? Sole owners and operators of Wolf & Bear Co, Benny and Tracy Gonzalez don’t think so. They wanted to unite dogs and dog owners alike by creating the most biologically appropriate, tasty, affordable, and nutritional treats for everyone’s four-legged family members.

A large part of what the Gonzalez’s want to do is educate the caring dog owner and make them aware of the benefits of feeding their dogs nutritional treats. Face it, most dogs – like goats – will eat anything you put in front of them. Not just food made for canines, but heck, a couch pillow or even a shoe will do. So, it’s important that you, the owner, choose the right the right treat. Wolf & Bear Co have put a lot of elbow work and research into perfecting the treats they offer; treats that are suitable for every sized dog.


Wolf & Bear, Co. photo.

Wolf & Bear Co. offers all-natural, single-ingredient protein treats. The products do not contain any fillers or preservatives. They are biologically appropriate and every product of contains high nutritional value. “We have many owners that have come to us because their dog has certain nutritional needs and we have been able to accommodate them all. From allergies to certain dietary restrictions, we have something for all dogs.” said co-owner Tracy Gonzalez.

All Wolf & Bear Co. meats are 100% USDA-approved and are sourced here on the South Coast. Even their pig ears (chews) are all-natural. No chemical process or glaze is ever added. Their products are all grain-free and very low in fat content. In fact, their treats are “human grade,” which means you could eat them if you wanted. The idea is, that Tracy and Benny wouldn’t feed anything to a dog that wouldn’t at least be healthy for human consumption. You would think that all of this means an expensive product, but you’d be wrong. There is no price hike or gouging and Wolf & Bear Co.’s prices are not only fair, but affordable enough that you can offer the treats to your pets daily.

Benny and Tracy are, of course, dog owners themselves and when perfecting their treats they used feedback from their own dogs and even grandpuppies. “It’s an amazing feeling to know we can provide biologically appropriate and also nutritional treats to so many,” stated Benny. “Giving dogs the absolute best ensures that they live a long healthy life. It starts from the everyday food you feed them to the treats you use for training and rewarding.”

The love that Benny and Tracy have for dogs extends far beyond offering our pals nutritional, delicious treats, to being part of events in the community they live in. On Sunday, April 23rd from 12-6 pm they will be at MassCollective11 located at The New Bedford Voc Tech field house. Following that will be on to The Taunton Pride Festival at Hopewell Park in Taunton, Ma. Saturday, June 10th from 12-5pm. and the Whaling City Festival July 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th Thursday 3-9 pm Fri-Sun 12-9 pm. You can also catch them Foxboro Jaycee’s Spring Vendor and Craft Fair at the Foxboro Common on Saturday, May 20, 2023 from 9am-3pm.

Reviews:

“Wolf & BearCo are the only treats I’ll ever give to my dogs! I love knowing exactly what they are eating, and these single-ingredient, natural treats are exactly that. They are the perfect training treats as well as being a great and easy way to add nutrients to your dog’s diet. They are extremely affordable and have a long shelf life. Smelts and turkey jerky are a staple in our household! We cannot recommend these enough, they are the best dog treats ever!”Leann L.

I’ve tried several of the varieties that they carry, and each is a huge hit! Perfect if you want to give your dog the very best. Your fur babies will love you and those healthy Wolf & Bear treats!”-Inez P.
