Your Special Offer
This month brings Halloween events to the area, and for some reason, pumpkins always come to mind towards the end of the month. Which reminded us of the value of pumpkin in your pantry for unexpected pet GI issues.
A spoonful of pumpkin (real pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling) can work wonders for both a bout of diarhhea or constipation in pets. The challenge is having it on hand when needed.
Now you do! Your special offer this month (while supplies last) is a Free Can of Nummy Tum Tum Organic Pumpkin for dogs.
Just ask for your free eMuse can o’ pumpkin when you place your order this month. We have a limited supply, so don’t dally in your request!
What’s your Cause?
Do you have a favorite local rescue group or service organization? Do you volunteer or have a story you’d like to share with us? Your response will count as a “vote” for that group, as we build a list to involve with Woofstock.
You can vote in any way you’d choose. It can be as simple as an email response with the name of your favorite, a comment on our website, or a response our Facebook page.
Each response will count as a vote, and the groups with the highest number of “votes” will receive a portion of sales at Woofstock 2010. Your vote can be as quick & easy as sending an email, or simply comment on our website or Facebook page. You’re also welcome to share a story with us if you’d like.
We’re fortunate to have so many local organizations doing extraordinary work in our region. In the past, we’ve partnered or donated to many and want to continue that tradition. Large or small, we’re open to helping all!

New Products
Talking Pet Thermometer
We’re currently evaluating a Thermopet, the talking pet thermometer. This is a no-touch pet thermometer which we found at the Trade Show last month.
We’ve always felt it important to have a thermometer available as a diagnostic tool. Until now, we’re been using a Pet Ear thermometer. This is a wonderful tool, and has come down in price from where they were originally. Problem is that often your pet’s ears can be very sensitive, and it can be difficult or uncomfortable to get a true reading
Enter the ThermoPet. Since this nifty unit is a non-contact device, it will return an accurate reading when held close to, rather than on or placed inside, your pet. It will speak and display the result in one second from your choice of places on your pet- abdomen, outside of the ear, upper gum or under the base of the tail.
How does it work? Similar to human temporal thermometers, the ThermoPet measures the infrared energy from your dog.
There is a small learning curve prior to using the device to assure accurate reading. It is calibrated for a dog’s body temperature, so will be more accurate than a human digital thermometer. It speaks the reading as well as displaying the number and storing it in memory. It has a mode for surface and room temperature readings, as well as the default Body setting.
If you’re interested in learning more about The ThermoPet, we’ll have our demo unit at Woofstock this year. Let us know if you’d like a demonstration or an opportunity to test it with your dog!
