Dear Pet Lover,

Daily news articles are written about the billions of dollars
being spent on pet products and pet care. Simultaneously, we are reading news articles that focus on the dynamic and fast-paced growth and popularity of direct sales companies, and espcially the home party concept. Shure Pets is proud to offer passionate pet lovers a unique business opportunity with our
Pet Consultant Program that combines the best of these two booming industries and provides an opportunity to earn limitless income. Shure Pets was designed to function as a close-knit, loyal family concerned about providing happy and safe environments for our pets, while keeping them in top-dog health.

The 25 new products we're introducing this month uphold the mission upon which Shure Pets was built.

The 25 new products we're introducing this month uphold the mission upon which Shure Pets was built. Since our official

 

launch a few months ago, we have received a tremendous amount of positive feedback from our Pet Consultants, their customers and veterinarians about our products. They have also provided many recommendations for products their customers are interested in and we take their feedback seriously. The new products we are introducing this month are a reflection of their suggestions. In our ongoing effort to support our Pet Consultants and Shure Pets customers, this newsletter offers helpful hints, links, recent success stories, comments from our hard working, dedicated Pet Consultants, and of course, a few suggestions "shure" to help keep your pets happy and healthy! Enjoy The Pet Gazette, and feel free to forward it to your family, friends, customers and fellow pet lovers (and pets!).

~Sincerely, Andrew Shure, Shure Pets Founder

 
Shure Pets News
Shure Pets is proud to announce the addition of more than 25 new products to its unique and exciting product line. After
months of intense research and reviewing feedback from our
Pet Consultants and their customers, we have introduced products in the following categories: breed-specific items for
pet lovers to enjoy (hats, shirts, replica statues etc.), pet health record books, pet beds, pet memorials, pet biscuit kits, and more. These items are available now, by contacting your local Pet Consultant or Shure Pets. We are confident that our team
of nationwide Pet Consultants will discover that the new items compliment the existing products in the Shure Pets line. As always, Shure Pets prides itself on providing the ulti-mutt in
pet health care and happiness. Our products are created and approved by knowledgeable scientists and veterinary representatives.

Our Pet Consultants informed us that pet beds are an important item and we are pleased to now
offer several choices. For the travelling pet, we have added the SUV Pad. This bed keeps your
pooch comfy in the car and helps keep hair off the upholstrey. For canines who suffer from ailments and pain associated with joints, hips, arthritis and aging, the Therapeutic Bed with Headrest actually conforms to the body shape, weight and warmth of the dog. Also, our new cat-napper (shown above)
is the perfect place for your lounging kitty to sleep in the sun.

The Shure Pets website, www.shurepets.com, has been updated to showcase the newest items in
the Shure Pets line along with product descriptions and pricing information. Additionally, now you
can buy Shure Pets products online with your Pet Consultant's ID #. In development is a new
cat-alog that will include the latest additions to our product line.

Nicole LaFleur (Patterson, CA) is a part-time extended day care teacher, a wife, and mother of Anthony (13), Ashley (10), and Dakota (7). When she is not busy at work or with her family, she is taking care of her eight dogs (two Boxers and six Boston Terriers), three of which are show dogs.

Showing the Boston Terriers is a big part of Nicole's life. She is a member of The Boston Terrier
Club of America and the Sierra Gold Boston Terrier Club of Sacramento. Nicole also leads the
area's Boxer and Boston Terrier rescue organization; several of her dogs are rescues.

While living in Neuman, CA, Nicole worked for a Large and Small Animal Veterinarian Clinic. She
was hired as a kennel helper also doing hospital clean-up. She worked diligently and focused on gaining positions of more responsibility. Ultimately she worked for the clinic as an out-patient nurse.

Nicole's family provides a tremendous support system for all of her endeavors, including Shure Pets. "My mother instilled my love for animals," said Nicole. As a child, Nicole always had a lot of pets
and took in strays. When it comes to showing Boston Terriers, her daughter Ashley is already following in her mother's footsteps. Her youngest son, Dakota, is waiting patiently until he is old enough to start showing dogs too. After searching the Internet looking for a business opportunity selling pet products, Nicole found Shure Pets and immediately joined the team in early September. She has made a significant impact in the Shure Pets chat group. With support and encouragement from her husband David, she envisions making her passion for animals a full-time career with Shure Pets.

  Last month Shure Pets hosted another purr-fect Pet Party at
its Corporate Office in Chicago, IL. Several Chicago-based Pet Consultants joined pet lovers and Shure Pets customers and staff for a grr-eat party where everyone in attendance swapped pet stories and discussed their love for animals.

A number of pooches were in attendance, all ready to party, too. Shure Pets' own Caillou Shure played host to the other doggie guests, including a 21- year-old pooch, a German Shephard, and several mixed breeds. The Shure Pets team, along with Pet Consultant David Glossberg (Chicago, IL), led the Pet Party, demonstrated product usage (giving the
pooches a chance to try the Brilliance Toothpaste), answered all questions from the guests, and assisted with product sales.

In the picture above is party guest Carolyn happily showing off her well-dressed dog. Below is Pet Consultant Sheryl Harris (Chicago, IL) checking out a bottle of Shure Pets Medicated Shampoo. We look forward to partying with the animals again soon.

To learn how you can host your own Pet Party, contact us at parties@shurepets.com.

The New Puppy on the Block Kit is displyed in the picture below.
  "People are so crazy about their pets, and this is a great way to combine a passion with business. When I first began searching the Internet for a direct marketing company that sold pet products, I was surprised that I couldn't find
one. l believed the market was an untapped niche. Then, in the summer of 2003,
I found Shure Pets, and I was thrilled." - Kendra K., Pet Consultant, Gainseville, FL.

"The products are great and Shure Pets has put together a direct selling program that supports its
Pet Consultants and puts the earning potential in our hands." - David G., Pet Consultant, Chicago, IL.

"I like that there are no territories with Shure Pets, so I'm not restricted to selling or recruiting team members within a specific area." - Carmen R., Pet Consultant, Staten Island, NY.

"I was looking for a home-based business to add additional income, but didn't want just any
company. I wanted an opportunity that offered something different and unique. Shure Pets fits my requirements perfectly because it supports my love for pets. My dog was almost totally blind and didn't really know what was going on, and he needed a bath. I tried the vanilla scented shampoo.
At the beginning, he was fighting and struggling, but once the shampoo was lathered up, he calmed down and relaxed. My cat even stopped hissing and crying!" - Joanne S., Pet Consultant, Clinton Township, MI.

Hide the left-over Halloween candy. Dogs are extremely allergic to chocolate. Often owners think
their pet is unaffected, however the signs of sickness may not appear for several hours. If your
animal has ingested a fair amount of chocolate, take your pet to the animal hospital immediately whether the animal is showing signs of distress or not.

When litter box training your ferret, remember they are extremely neat animals. They do not like the litterbox to be too close to their food and water. Convinience is also an issue for the little critters. If
the cage has multiple tiers, it should have multiple litterboxes as well.

Contrary to popular belief, baby bunnies (kits) under a year old, should not be
fed fresh vegetables such as carrots. They may cause the bunny to become seriously ill. After age one, the bunny's stomach has matured enough to be
able to digest veggies (in small amounts only).


Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday season. For many of us, the season also brings overeating. This behavior is often reflected on our animals as well. 30-40% of dogs brought to the
vet are considered overweight. If you cannot feel your pet's ribs or can feel them only with heavy
pressure, talk to your vet about a weight-loss program.
