TulsaPets Magazine March 2023

4 TulsaPets • March /April 2023 I t’s our March pet-friendly issue, so be sure to check out all of our pet-friendly advertisers, and put a visit to a pet-friendly restaurant patio on your to-do list. With spring right around the bend, Heide Brandes tells us about several get-away spots that allow pets, some right in our own backyard. And by the way, if you venture to OKC be sure to visit Bar K, Oklahoma’s newest, biggest indoor-outdoor dog park/restaurant/bar scene. It’s truly incredible! Mary Green also gives us some good tips about getting our dogs accustomed to visiting pet-friendly locations/businesses. Her “petiquette” tips are sure to help keep our dogs on their best behavior! Rowena Mills also has a delightful story about the importance of pets in our lives and our businesses. Don’t miss this one! We have a new feature that we hope you will enjoy: “Vet Spotlight.” Each issue we’ll highlight a different vet with an unusual twist to their practice. We start with Dan Danner and his litany of exotic pet patients. The Mid-Continent Kennel Club’s All Breed Dog Show is April 29- 30 at the Sagenet Building at Expo Square, and add Rock and Rescue 2023 to your calendar, coming up Saturday, May 6, with a new venue at Central Park Hall. From rats to facial recognition doggy doors, a dog walkers’ club, and more, today’s a good day to chill with TulsaPets Magazine! We’re already working on some good reads for May/June. See you then!
