NEW STUFF! Just in time for Father's Day (June 20th) we have the perfect gift for those dog loving Dads! Dog Dad t-shirts and baseball hats. And then while you are at it check out the other new t-shirts including the already very popular "Life is Short, Play with your Dog". A super-sized Himalayan Dog Chew is now available (although for a limited time). The chews have been available in a medium (2.5 oz) and large (3.5 oz) and now we have the xlarge (7.5 oz)! These chews are one of our best selling items - most people report awe and disbelief at how long one will last (and are thrilled that they are made from ingredients that their dog can digest, versus other chew products that are on the market that are not as safe.) Click here to see the other new items that have been added to our site. There are many new things in the store that haven't made it to the site yet, so please always check with us if you are wondering if we carry something (or have a suggestion!). And if you often think "oh I wish they carried a mini moose toy for my beloved smallish dog".....we do! And like the large moose toy, it's adorable! ******************** Time to Vote! It's time again to vote for your favorite Madison Businesses! The Isthmus is conducting their 2010 Madison's Favorites Poll - and we'd love it if you'd take the time to vote for us (assuming you think we're "top dog" in the pet supply store category!!). We are honored to have been awarded 3rd place in last year's poll. The voting ends at 5:00 pm on June 21st - and for votes to be valid the ballots must have at least 20 categories filled in. Thanks - it would sure make us smile if you voted for us! ******************** Madison Store News For those of you that have not heard, Natura (Innova, EVO & California Natural) has been sold to Proctor & Gamble. As a result we will no longer carry these foods. The news of the sale was a shock and huge disappointment in a food and manufacturer that we trusted. We have no doubt that at some point the sourcing and/or formulas will change, but beyond that we can not support a company (P&G) that is one of the worst offenders of animal testing. Please let us know if you have any questions about our decisions or need help in finding a new food. We are here to help keep your dog friend(s) happy and healthy! Store Events: Through June 30th Photo Contest Voting Last month we put out a call for people to submit their favorite dog or cat photos. We received 50 entries and they are now in our display windows to be voted on. Each customer/visitor gets to vote once. Top 3 winners will receive prizes. 1st place winner receives a 60 minute photo shoot with Grey Oaks Pet-ography (www.greyoakspets.com) - a $100 value! It won't be easy to pick your favorite - there are some really amazing photos. Saturday June 19th 1:00-3:00 Stella & Chewy's in-store demo This Wisconsin maker of healthy raw frozen and freeze dried food for cats & dogs will be here to talk about their foods and their yummy freeze dried treats.
