Spring is finally here, and Dr. Estelle & the staff at Blandon Family Veterinary Practice are excited to announce our participation in a very popular event for people of all ages & our canine companions alike!  On Saturday, April 26th, we would love if you would come & visit us at our table at Bark for Life of Western Berks!  Bark For Life is a non-competitive fundraising dog walk event that honors the care-giving qualities of our canine companions.  The event will be held from 9am until 12 noon, and is located on the grounds of Western Berks/Liberty Fire Company in Sinking Spring. The physical address is 836 Ruth Street, Sinking Spring, PA, 19608.  This exciting event will feature agility & Spring Township K9 Unit demonstrations, as well as lots of other fun music, activities & games for all who are attending!  There will also be lots of opportunities to give back to The American Cancer Society; the money raised through Bark for Life & other community Relay For Life events supports human cancer research!

If you plan on going to the event, there are some safety rules to follow.  Below are some rules from the Bark for Life website (http://www.relayforlife.org/barkwesternberkspa )

  • Dogs must be leashed at all times
  • Leashes are to be no longer than 6 feet (no retractable leashes allowed)
  • Dogs should be at least 6 months of age to attend
  • Dogs attending this event must be current on all shots
  • Owners are to “pick up” after their dogs (Supply Stations are available)

If you’d like to see a little more information about the Bark For Life event, please take a look at this video on Relay For Life’s Youtube Channel! We found this video very informational.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFUEoX122Gg

We hope that we will see you at this event! If you have any questions about anything you’ve read, please feel free to call us at 610-268-6208, or stop in to visit us!  We would be happy to speak with you and answer your questions to the best of our ability!

Hi there! My name is Lindsey Hart, and I’m very excited to be the smiling face that you’ll see when you visit the reception area at Blandon Family Veterinary Practice! I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful new family-oriented practice with Dr. Estelle, Steve, & the rest of the staff! One of my favorite places is Disney World, and Walt himself said it best. “The most important thing is family.” -- I hope to help your four-legged family members feel like a part of our family here at BFVP!
