WELCOME
North Coast Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Ohio
***ATTENTION!***
We want everyone to know that xylitol is now being labeled as
"Birch Sugar"
This is a sweetener used in food, most commonly in peanut
butter and candy.
It is VERY toxic to dogs.
Keep your pups safe.
*** January 19, 2025, at 2PM, at the Chestnut Shelter (link for address and driving directions). We will have an expert discussion about enhancing the kibble diet and other ideas to increase longevity in a dog's life. Bring your curiosity and questions to this meeting, as well as your input on how to keep our four-foots with us just a bit longer! And - yes, our furry companions are welcome!
Directions to the Shelter:
From I-271: take the Wilson Mills Exit (#36) in Highland Heights, Ohio. Head East on Wilson Mills Road. You will cross SOM Center Rd (Rt.91). Continue on Wilson Mills down the hill until you come to a stop sigh. Turn left (North) at the stop sign onto Chagrin River Rd (Rt.174). The Rivergrove/Chestnut Shelter will be approx. 2-1/2 miles on the left, past the entrance to the North Chagrin Metropark Reservation.
***February 16, 2025, 2PM: at the Wintergreen Shelter in Strongsville - Karen and Madalynne Von Boxel from Canine Showers will help us with the sometimes confusing art of grooming our hairy Berners.
***March 9, 2025 (mark your calendar)
Don't forget to stop by our STORE once in a while. If you haven't been there lately, you will be surprised by the variety of merchandise to be had - there is always someone's birthday !
