Weathering the Weather

Value Drugs carries Peel 'N Stick Body Warmers, available at the register. They hit the spot(s)! Pondfield Rd.

Provisions for Pets carries "Walk Safe" ice melt. It is safe for your pets, your lawn, shrubs and vegetation, and your walkway. Be careful of the many other ice melts that claim they are safer than salt. Many are made with magnesium sulfate, which can be toxic to your pets if ingested (paw licking). Magnesium toxicity results when the body absorbs more magnesium than it can excrete. Symptoms include fall in blood pressure, confusion, abnormal cardiac rhythm, and deterioration of kidney function. 110 Kraft Ave.

Think Spring!

Especially if you're lucky enough to be heading someplace warm, Breezeway is a must for their newly arrived selection of beach totes, sun hats, and overnight bags (which are under 22" for overhead compartments)! 80 Kraft Ave.
