Shure Pets, our signature At-Home Pet Parties and our unique product line were recently featured in the December issue of Entrepreneur Magazine. The article, entitled Home Party Sales, discusses Shure Pets as "Hot for 2007". To view other Shure Pets articles and appearances in the news, please click on the "Shure Pets In The News" link below

Shure Pet's National Pet Party Across America 2.0 campaign had a grr-eat response and we are happy to report that we had a significant increase in activity and Pet Parties over the November 17- 19 weekend. As a result, Shure Pets will give back to those in need during the howl-iday season by donating a check to the ASPCA: The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (http://www.aspca.org) for each Pet Party order submitted as a result of this successful promotion ($2.50 for each Pet Party order submitted).

Shure Pets University (SPU): Our Shure Pets University training program meets monthly at the Corporate Office in Chicago, Illinois. This seminar serves as a platform to discuss Shure Pets and trends in the Direct Selling and Pet Industries, as well as offering tips to help you grow, develop and maintain your business. All Pet Consultants are invited and encouraged to attend SPU. If you cannot make a Shure Pets University session but are in the Chicago area and would like to meet "The Pound", please call or email info@shurepets.com to schedule an appointment.

SPUs are held on the first Tuesday of the month. Start 2007 on the right paw by attending a Shure Pets University Training Program held on:

• Tuesday, January 9 (please note date change due to the New Year howl-iday).
• Tuesday, February 6.

Conference Calls: All Tuesdays (outside of the first Tuesday of the Month which is reserved for SPU) conference calls occur for Pet Consultants to participate in and share ideas with each other and the Shure Pets Pound.

• The 2nd Tuesday of the Month's Conference Call is for all new Pet Consultants
• The 3rd Tuesday is open for all Pet Consultants and

Autumn H. (#1333 Anchorage, AK) is the proud owner of Paris (a 15 month old black Great Dane who weighs around 130 lbs. and stands over six feet tall), two geriatric lovebirds named Peaches and Kiwi (19 years old) and a five foot ball python named Creepy (six years old - "named because she is pretty creepy looking"!) Additionally, she has a 30 gallon salt water tank filled with various salt fish. Autumn states, "I found out about Shure Pets while searching the Internet for pet products. I have been a Pet Consultant for a few months. I think Shure Pets is a great way to get to know other pet lovers and to work at your own pace. I hope to become more active with my business when I graduate from college in the spring."

"I have met many wonderful people along the way of my Shure Pets business. I have also enjoyed pampering my spoiled Great Dane with all the fantastic products! I have obtained success by getting involved with the pet community and attending many pet events. I also take my dog wherever I go and she draws a lot of attention which I use to my benefit. I also tried all of the products when I received the [New Puppy on the Block Starter] kit which made it easier to talk about the products. My favorite products are the Emu Oil Shampoo (#132) and Emu Oil Spray (#133). It has helped keep Paris' black coat shiny and flake free!"

"I just wanted to let you guys know that the Life Bowl (#622) is awesome! My oldest Lab eats so fast and I had been using a rectangular baking pan for her food bowl. It helped a tad, so I thought I would try the Life Bowl. She is now the last one to finish her food. Great product!? -Carla F. (#1502 Cordova, TN).

?I placed an order Tuesday morning and spoke with David. I told him that some of the items were going to be used as prizes for my kennel club?s dog show, and I had to have them turned in by November 13th. I told him that some of the other items were going to be on display at my booth at the show, and I needed those before Thanksgiving weekend. Would you believe the items to be used as prizes arrived today? I was very impressed! Now I can breathe a sigh of relief that my prizes are here.? - Wanda H. (#863 Montgomery, AL).

?Thank you so much for your help, you?re great! It has been a pleasure working with you and your staff. I?m not use to this kind of service from a network marketing company - what a breath of fresh air!? -Audrey A. (#1437 Ortonville, MI).

?I must say I love the Shure Pets products sent in the New Puppy on the Block Kit! They all smell so totally PAWSOME!! I plan on ordering more samples in the next couple of days so I can give hem to people to try on their furry companions.? -Deb B. (#1488 Saint Francis, MN).

?I am having so much fun with this stuff even though I just started. I put together my show layout, and I have games to play, and I just think it is so much fun! I love my animals, and I know that if people care about their animals as much as I do, they are willing to spend money on them.? -Vicki N. (#1566 Walnutport, PA).

?I just wanted to thank you all so much for my bonus gift certificate! It was such a nice surprise when I received the e-mail. Thanks again for your great products and service also. I love it when the new Cat-alogs come out and I get to see the new products - the selection just keeps getting better. My animal chiropractor is recommending the Portable Pet Stairs (#521) to her clients. I also recently discussed the Horse Healer Cream (#138) with my vet as one of my horses cut her nose and he was in favor of using it after reading the ingredients.? -Janet H. (#139 Macomb, IL).

The December Featured Products of the Month are: Life Bowl, Fleece Hat and Note Pads.

Life Bowl (#622) - can help save your pet's life by slowing down the pace in which the companion animal eats and drinks. Life Bowl includes a handle in the middle to minimize gulping and excessive air intake. Grrr-eat for aggressive eaters, reducing the risk of bloat (affecting over 35 dog breeds) and vomiting. Raised handle eases human back strain and keeps hands clean. Life bowl is blue and is available in Small and Large sizes. Small recommended for dogs with small snouts and large recommended for dogs with larger snouts (not overall body size).

Fleece Hat (#909) is beautifully de-tailed, great fitting and keeps you warm and looking adorable. Image of your breed is carefully embroidered on a warm light weight, soft polartec fleece.

Note Pads (#768) let you capture your thoughts or compose a letter with your breed of choice (in various poses) guarding the left hand corner. Two pads of 50 sheets each for a total of 100 sheets. Over 125 breeds available.

Why should I brush my canine's teeth? Dogs, just like human beings, can have teeth problems and they can get cavities. Their teeth should be cleaned at least twice a week. Feeding your dog dry dog food and giving him plenty of hard bones to chew is one way to help keep his teeth healthier. Two common problems dogs with poor dental hygiene have, are loose and abscess teeth. Studies show that up to 98% of dogs with bad breath suffer from periodontal disease, a result of plaque build up. If it is left untreated, it can lead to a bacteria infection, which can enter the bloodstream and spread to your dog's kidney, liver, heart and even their brain. Chances are if your dog has very bad breath, there is a problem with his teeth. Make "Shure" your pet has happy teeth!

Is milk acceptable for my cat to drink? Kittens drink their mother's milk while they are nursing. It is full of the fat and protein that they need to rapidly grow and survive. Cats and kittens can drink cow's milk occasionally, but they do not need to drink it. A cat can easily live its whole life without ever having cow's milk (in fact, most feral or wild cats never have cow's milk). Like humans, many cats and kittens are lactose intolerant. They cannot digest cow's milk properly and they get diarrhea or gastric upset when they drink it.

How do I remove tangles from my horse's mane and/or tail? Dirt is the primary cause of tangles in your horse's mane and tail. To make removing tangles easier, thoroughly wash the mane and tail with a shampoo, followed by a conditioner. Using a metal comb or hair brush, start at the bottom of the hair and slowly work up to gently comb out the tangles and mats.
