Shure July 2007 - Monthly Newsletter |

|
Good Morning America ran a segment titled "Work From Home / Direct Selling" that focused on leading party plan companies and included Shure Pets. The segment was hosted by Tory Johnson and discussed the growth of direct selling and that "one needs to pick something that meshes with their style." Tory referred to Shure Pets as offering "phenomenal stuff for pets and pet lovers." Please see the "in the news" section of our site for this segment as well as other media clips.
I am also pleased to announce that your 2008 cat-alog will available on August 13, 2007. This will be our biggest, best and most compressive cat-alog EVER!

Pet Consultant of the Month
Profile of Success
MaryAnn N. (#774 Rye Brook, NY) lives with her two dogs, Blaze (a two year old Basset Hound) and Siren (a three year old Husky mix). Siren was abandoned in the parking lot of the local firehouse when she was just eight weeks old. Siren is more shy and reserved while Blaze is the bold adventurous one. Unlike most Basset Hounds, Blaze has an endless amount of energy and loves to run, jump and play with other dogs. Blaze and Siren couldn't be more different physically, but they act just like sisters. Getting them both to sit still for a picture is nearly impossible.
MaryAnn states, "I found out about Shure Pets by accident. I was Googling direct marketing companies about two years ago and came across Shure Pets. As soon as I read about the company and the products, I was hooked. I signed up the first day I heard about Shure Pets. My original goal was to earn enough money to purchase pet rescue masks for our local fire department. Regular human oxygen masks won't fit a cat or dog. Within a month of becoming a Pet Consultant, I was able to buy the pet rescue masks which are now standard equipment on all fire trucks in my home town. I was having so much fun with Shure Pets, I decided to continue."
"Shure Pets has offered me the chance to meet some incredible people who share my love of pets. The other Pet Consultants are great and so helpful. I love talking to other pet owners about their pets. I have been fortunate to do some truly unique events like a pet benefit at a local bar where you could bring your dog, have a drink, buy some great pet products and raise money for the local animal shelter. My favorite part of Shure Pets is getting to meet other pet owners."
"Anyone who comes into my house, is sure to see all the great Shure Pets products we use. Some of my favorites are the letter holder, the wall clock and the purr-sonalized portrait. The portrait captured every detail of the dogs down to the tags on their collars. Having a Basset Hound, with long floppy ears that get into everything, we couldn't live without the ear cleaner and foaming cleanser. The dogs love the biscotti bars and lolli-pups. I always have extra lolli-pups in the house for when they have friends over. I can honestly say I have never ordered anything from Shure Pets and been disappointed with it."
"My advice to new Pet Consultants is to relax and have fun with it. When you use the products and love them yourself it is incredibly easy to talk about them and sell them. When you're relaxed and enjoying yourself your party guests will be too and that's what makes a successful party".

| Purr-fect Pet Health Tips
Toilet H20? H2- No
Normal, plain toilet water is usually not harmful. Most toilet bowl cleaning tablets (when used as directed) would not be expected to cause serious problems (as long as the pet does not directly consume the tablet). Typically, this would mildly upset a pet's stomach. However, if your pet has come into contact with more of the cleaner than would be normally present in the toilet bowl, please contact your local vet or the Animal Poison Control ASAP.
Poisonous Plants for Pets
Unfortunately, the number of cases involving ingestion of poisonous plants by pets increased by over 111% in 2006 to 9,300. Harmful plants include (but not limited to) Lilies, Azalea, Kalanchoe, Schefflera and Rhododendron. Please avoid having any of these plants available in your home if you share your domain with your companion animals.

Testimonials
"My [pets] Tango and Macarena just love the Tango Dog Toy (#514)!!! They are tiny breeds, so at first I thought it might be too big for them. It is light enough for them to drag it around and they really seem to enjoy it!!!!"
-Robin S. (#1896 Mechanicsburg, PA).
"My name is Dawn (#1935) and I am one of the "new pups on the block"...
Anyways, I'm very excited to start this new venture. I just got my [starter] kit
on Friday and love it. I took the day off work today to set up my website and get started on some things, since my weekend was already planned out...I myself have two dogs and two cats (Patches, Cobey, Gizmo, and Shadow). I've already been using them to test [the Shure Pets] products and treats. They love it. With all of this I guess I'll get to spoil them even more." -Dawn K. (#1935 West Sunbury, PA).
"We received our new Mutt Puppets (#241) and they are absolutely adorable! Tori has played with one for several days now and hasn't been able to get to, or tear out, the stuffing yet!!! And, that's always her objective with a new stuffed toy. That says volumes about the quality. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a really cute and solidly constructed new play toy for their medium or large furry companions!"
-Susan J. (#1126 Fairfax, VA).
"My Vet Tech who runs the cat adoption section of the Animal Hospital where I work loves the Aromutt Therapy Spritzers and uses them regularly on cats. I had donated a sample size and she was so thrilled with the product that she bought two full-size ones to keep at the Animal Hospital. She shampoos many cats and, as a finishing touch, brushes and sprays them all with the spritzers! Everyone loves how great the cats smell." -Sheryl S. (#757 Old Bethpage, NY).
