Corinna S. (#1696) resides in Lynn, Massachusetts. She has two female German Shepherds, Ivana and Greta. She also has a male puppy she is fostering for German Shepherd Rescue League of New England. Other pets in the household include a cat, blue tongued skink, bearded dragon, chinchilla, a family of sugar gliders, two hedgehogs and a boyfriend!
Corinna says that she "stumbled upon Shure Pets when I was searching for a bone shaped piñata online. Yes, I was planning a huge Birthday Party for my seven year old German Shepherd Ivana. As I learned more about Shure Pets I could not wait to join!"
Corinna owns a Photo Studio in Lynnfield, MA specializing in children and pet portraits. She also works part time at a busy kennel. According to Corinna, she is "always meeting new pet lovers, and it is great to be able to recommend Shure Pets products to them. From great smelling shampoos to the indestructible Huck and Hurley toys. I can recommend Shure Pets with confidence as I have seen nothing but the finest quality products and apparel from them."
Corinna says "I am certain every consultant would agree that the staff at 'The Pound' is always very helpful, friendly, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to continue to grow with the Shure Pets team."
Thanks Corinna! We look forward to continued success with you!

Dear Pet Lover,
Happy New Year!
In 2007 we achieved a number of major milestones, including welcoming the 1,700th Pet Consultant to the business.
For 2008, our goals and ambitions are greater than ever. We recently introduced a number of new programs to help you reach your objectives: 1) refreshed the contents of The New Puppy on The Block Kit to reflect our better selling items; 2) modified our "Grr-eat Start" Program enabling those that want to build their business to be rewarded for their efforts; 3) introduced our "Business Builders" program that is designed to assist those that are interested in building a business; and 4) announced the dates of our annual meeting, the Jam-fur-ee. The Jam-fur-ee will be held in Chicago July 18-20 2008, and all active Pet Consultants are encouraged to attend. This year's event promises to be our "best" ever.
The pet industry continues to grow at a rapid rate, and all indications are that in 2008 new industry sales records will be achieved. The demographics play in our favor. Did you know that nearly 71% of US households have pets? As the trend suggests, we treat our pets as part of the family, and the opportunities to develop a business selling pet products have never been better. I encourage you to explore the opportunity of being a Shure Pets Consultant.
Also, as we start the year, I encourage you to set objectives and goals--set realistic thresholds and you will achieve them.
Be positive and those around you will be interested and WILL WANT to support you and participate in your endeavor.
Surround yourself with people that support your dreams and goals. Focus on the opportunities and reach for your goals.
I look forward to working with each of you this year.
Regards,
Andrew Shure

Purr-fect Pet Health Tips
Cold Weather Tips:
Housing: Be sure to provide proper shelter for your pets. If yours is an indoor pet, his bed or crate should be kept in a warm, draft-free area, preferably elevated slightly off the floor. If your pet is kept outdoors, provide a warm insulated pet house or shelter. The house should be elevated enough so that moisture cannot accumulate inside. If possible, provide a "door" (perhaps of canvas) to keep out the winter winds. If your pet is in a pen, you might block the wind and water with bales of straw and stretch canvas over the top of the pen. If the wind chill or other weather conditions become severe, bring your pet inside.
Frostbite: Remove ice and snow from your pet's paws and coat at once. Frostbitten skin may turn reddish, white or gray, and it may be scaly or sloughing. If you suspect frostbite, take your pet to a warm place immediately. Thaw out frostbitten areas slowly by applying warm, moist towels that are changed frequently. Continue until the affected areas become flushed. Contact your veterinarian as soon as possible; he/she will probably want to evaluate the seriousness of the condition.
Snow Removal Salt: Some substances produced to melt ice and snow have low to moderate toxicity, depending on the ingredients and amount ingested. Read the labels and take necessary precautions. Keep these products stored in tight containers out of your pet's and children's reach and be sure to remove salt from your pet's paws immediately
Antifreeze: Even a very small amount of antifreeze can be fatal. Precautions are necessary with all antifreeze products on the market. Read labels and warnings carefully. Thoroughly clean up spills at once. Keep containers closed tightly and store them where pets cannot get to them.
Food: Staying warm requires extra calories, so feed your pet accordingly when the temperature drops. Talk to your veterinarian for advice on feeding your pet.
Water: Always have fresh, clean water available for your pet. If your pet is kept outdoors, be sure to check his water frequently since it may freeze.

"Barks of Approval"
Testimonials
"I have a coworker/customer who swears by Bitter Critter when her dog starts nervously chewing a back leg. Now all she has to do is get the bottle out and threaten him with it and he stops! Talk about the power of suggestion!"- Cathy K. (#1389, Muncie, IN)
"I became interested in Shure Pets after reading an article in the 'Washington Post' about a Pet Party. My family and I have been dog enthusiasts forever...I can't think of a better product than Shure Pets that I would rather represent."
-Lynda M. (#2288, Lexington Park, MD)
