Dog Days of Summer - Ice Cream Social at Canine Creature Comforts
What is more refreshing on a sultry summer afternoon than an ice cream
sundae made to order with your favorite flavor of real ice cream and fruity
toppings? Well, if you asked this little guy and the other local pooches that
attended last Saturday's event, they'd all say, paws down, it was great!
Not only were they able to mingle with other fellow four-leggers, but they
were able to bring their humans to this worthwhile, charity affair.
Canine Creature Comforts, owned and operated by Amy Parsons, hosted a
Doggie Ice Cream Social, in conjunction with Bruster's Real Ice Cream, to
benefit the Alliance for Philadelphia's Animals. The event was held in
Canine Creature Comforts' air conditioned facility at 81 Lancaster Ave.
(intersection of Route 30 and 401) in Malvern, PA. Bruster's Real Ice
Cream, located at 102 Lancaster Avenue (next to McDonald's) in Malvern,
supplied the specially made "doggie" ice cream sundaes (made with frozen
ice milk) and they also provided
traditional ice cream favorites
for the dog owners. In addition,
there were activities and games
for the canines, including bobbing for hot dogs, making paw
prints, raffles for pampered pooches, and more. It was a charity
event and a portion of all proceeds from the raffle items, ice
cream sundaes and merchandise sales went to benefit the
Alliance for Philadelphia's Animals. The Alliance is a coalition of
animal welfare and animal rescue groups who are working to
control and care for the population of Philadelphia's animals
through pet adoption programs and spay-neuter initiatives. This
gathering was designed to bring a community of dog lovers and
owners together to benefit a worthy cause - Philadelphia's
homeless animals.
Canine Creature Comforts opened this past May and is a 15,000
square foot indoor facility..yes you heard right - 15,000 square
feet that rivals any big-name pet care facility on the Main Line.
They provide doggie daycare, training, grooming and a boutique
that would make Gucci green with envy, offering a full line of K-9
products ranging from Glamour Dog tote bags, Aromatherapy Spritzers to Sleigh Beds for your favorite
pooch! Whoever said, "...it's a dog's life..." wasn't just whistling Dixie. Canine Creature Comforts is doggie
heaven right here in Malvern. What was most noticeable and commendable at this event, was the fastidious
cleanliness of the hosts and their entourage; if per chance any of the guests (of the K-9 persuasion) had a
slight accident, and who wouldn't with all that excitement going on, the staff was right there to make things
clean and sanitary.
This reporter has to add that any pet lover having a
K-9 family member should definitely check out this
fully functional, well stocked and appointed facility at
their earliest convenience. Fido will thank you for it!
(As of this posting, Canine Creature Comforts is still going strong - kudos to Amy!)
