Happy National Volunteer Week! The BMG Bunch made a paw-sitive impact at the Pet Resource Center of Kansas City! From purrfecting pet food prep to assembling cones of shame and spreading smiles and tail wags, we value all pet perspectives equally. We look forward to being a sponsor for PRCKC's annual fundraiser again this year! #BMGPetPerspective
Love my job and love the work One Tail at a Time does to support Chicago pets and pet parents. So glad Figo Pet Insurance could support them by donating 43K pounds of pet food to One Tail's Pet Mutual Aid Center, which provides resources to pet parents in need. The behind-the-scenes work it took to make this donation happen was one of the more interesting exercises in problem-solving I've encountered in my career so far, and involved tackling questions like: - "How does one move 43K pounds of food from one place to another?" (Answer: A big truck!) - "Can you fit a semi-truck in a standard Chicago alley?" (Answer: No! So then, we'll need several slightly smaller trucks...) - "How quickly can One Tail assemble volunteers to move this much pet food?" (Answer: Extremely quickly!) - "What do you do when Costco doesn't accept your corporate card because (duh) Costco warehouses don't take AmEx?" (Answer: Get creative!) All made totally worth it (and honestly a ton of fun) by collaborating with great partners and team members. Shout out to our friends at Costco Wholesale for helping to make this donation possible.
Last month, we partnered with One Tail at a Time and Costco Wholesale to organize a pet food drive. Our goal was straightforward yet ambitious: gather as many pet food donations as possible and match each one, pound for pound. Thanks to the generosity of our community and the support of our partners, we managed to collect and deliver over 43,000 pounds of pet food to OTAT! A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved – your contributions, big and small, made a world of difference. We're excited for future opportunities to make a positive difference for pets and pet parents in our communities 💙

🏆 And Hank takes the lead - fueled by support! 🏁 For a while, Rio held the top spot, but thanks to your incredible donations, Hank has surged ahead. 🐾 Will he be the first Advanced Training dog to reach and exceed their fundraising goal of $2,500? Your contributions are not just numbers; they directly contribute to our guide dog training program, ensuring these remarkable dogs receive the extensive care they need — from training and specialized equipment to veterinary care and nutrition — to become dependable guides for our clients. Our target is to raise a minimum of $2,500 for each dog in training.

While you can't list your pet as a dependent, the IRS allows certain pet-related deductions. These include: -Business animals -Service animals -Performance animals -Foster pets -Donations to pet-based charities You may be able to deduct the costs of acquiring, training, and caring for these animals as business or medical expenses, helping to offset the financial burden of owning a working pet. #PetTaxes #IRS #TaxDeductions #PetOwners #ServiceAnimals #FosterPets #BusinessAnimals #PerformanceAnimals #PetCharity #TaxTips
