On Tuesday, June 14, Shure Pets was featured in a segment by Jeanne Moos on CNN and on CNN.com. Pet Consultant Jen I. (#0236 Winsted, CT) was shown leading a fun, colorful at- home Pet Party. The piece allowed for an inside look into one of our signature "Pet Parties" and the fun, relaxed ambiance associated with these get togethers. CNN opened the piece with the following, "Remember the old Tupperware parties? Tupperware has given away to Pupperware." Grr-eat job Jen! Please see the link below to view the transcript of the CNN piece.

Additionally, Shure Pets was featured in a number of media outlets in June including: Memphis Lifestyle Web Magazine, The Greater Baton Rouge Business Report, Pet Product News, and Minneapolis Star Tribune.

April N. (#0415 Raleigh, NC) looks after two English Bulldogs, Hamlet and Cosmo. Cosmo is a proud model in the new Summer 2005 Shure Pets Cat- a-log (the Bulldog in the flower pot on the inside front page). April has been a Pet Consultant since March, 2005 as has already experienced successful growth. April states, "I originally heard about Shure Pets on an online message board about fundraising. What interested me in the company is that Shure Pets gives individuals the opportunity to raise money for many charitable organizations, whether it is an animal rescue group or a school fundraiser. That, doubled with the fact that our products are organic and/or natural, helps to introduce people to better products out there for their pet's health and the environment."

"I try to reach out to non-profit animal and environmental groups because Shure Pets has great products, and most people have pets where I live. My full time job is in advertising and marketing so my experience has helped me reach out to the local marketplace to interest new Pet Consultants. It is a great opportunity for students, stay at home moms or anyone really! I also talk about our Foaming Cleanser (#111, #122 and #123) because it is so unique and it gets people interested right away. Plus, Shure Pets parties are much more fun than just another make-up party or cooking gadget party! I look forward to Shure Pets' continued growth, and helping with the growth in the NC area."

And we look forward to helping with the growth of your Shure Pets business April!

"Shure Pets has a great bunch of Consultants and is a great company! I enjoy working with my recruits so much. They are a great bunch of friends. Rob M. (#0194 Shickshinny, PA).

"I just tried the Aromutt Therapy Shampoo (#104) and Paramount Cream Rinse Conditioner (#109) on my Jack Russell, Indy, and he is softer than I've ever felt and smells wonderful!! I'm really glad to LOVE what I sell! It makes all the difference. Thanks!" Leslie M. (#0512 Medford, OR).

"I just received the Shure Pets Horse Shampoo (#130) and Dressing (#131). I, of course, have two horses of my own and show them both competitively. I used the products yesterday as we am getting ready for the competition this weekend. I have to tell you all these are absolutely fabulous products and worked beyond my expectations. Everyone at the barn was so impressed with how they looked - they were all ready to steal the products from me. I have shown horses for 35 years and used probably every product out there at one time or another, but this shampoo rinsed so well...the skin was left in a soft and silky condition without being slippery. The mane and tail still have great texture. Great product" Janet K. (#0527 Golden, CO).

"After I used the Oatmeal Shampoo (#116) and Oatmeal Spray Conditioner (#117), [my pets] were brushed and finished with some scented Shure Pets Spritzers. Chisel got "Stud Spritz" (#120), very nice and smells a little like a man's cologne. Lokie got "Merry Cherry" (#108), my favorite. Molly got "Baby Paw-der" (#119), very nice. They are all nice and shiny and smell great. 6 Paws Up from my crew to Shure Pets." Patti S. (#0472 Plaistow, NH).

Stinky Puppy?: Is your dog constantly getting sprayed by skunks? Part of the problem may be that skunks are drawn to your home by smells and odors. Do not keep food sources such as trash cans or pet food outside your home, as skunks will be intrigued and gravitate towards them. If your dog still happens to get sprayed, Paramount Skunk Solution (#127) can help make "shure" your pet smell fresh and clean again!

Ditch the Dig: Finding holes in your garden and in your lawn? Your dog may be digging for a variety of reasons, including: cooling off, burying bones, escaping confinement, or a lack of stimulation. If the digging behavior is not desired, you can provide your canine with various toys, including the Hurley (#504), Huck (#513)or the Tuginator (#519).

Tangle Free is the Way to be: It is vital to regularly brush and comb your pet's coat. Brushing helps remove dead hair that has been shed, which can easily tangle and form mats within the rest of the coat. If your pet's hair has become tangled and messy from playing outside or lack of brushing, try Shure Pet's Tangle and Mat Combat (#115).
