Well, there’s no stopping the march of the calendar. The end of summer is approaching and we hope you and your furkids have had the opportunity to enjoy some quality time outdoors.
This month there is some news from Natura to pass along about some discontinued products and pricing changes, and a bit of info which may, or may not, have you yawning as you follow along.
You also have the opportunity to participate in this year’s Woofstock celebration if you own your own business or work for one that you’d like to share with the rest of the Smiley Dog family.
And once again, a sincere Thank You for your continued support and help with spreading the word to your friends. Referrals are essential to our operation, and we cannot do it without you. Each mention of what you enjoy about Smiley Dog to a friend or co-worker goes a long way. If you’d like a brochure or small handout to pass along, just say the word. We’ll be happy to oblige!
YOUR SPECIAL OFFER
This month we’re offering our first ever Treat Pairing promotion. We like this bonus so much, that’s it only seems right to improve upon the idea for you!
Purchase any of the Featured Treats this month and receive an extra bonus treat!
Anyone who purchases one of the Featured Treats this month gets a free Etta Says Deer Chew. But only eMuse subscribers get that free Deer Chew PLUS a free Texas Toothpick!
Choose a Featured treat, get two more treats as your subscriber bonus this month. But wait, there’s more!
We realize that Carna4 is not the right choice for everyone. For one thing, it has the “distinction” of being the most expensive dry formula we’ve carried to date. It is, however, a very exciting approach to kibble which you can sample at no charge. Along with your extra Treat Pairing, you will receive a small sample of this new food made with sprouted grains.
Be sure to mention that you want the eMuse bonus when you place your order!

Does Your Dog “Catch” Your Yawns
Is your dog quick to sidle up to you when you’re sad? Have you seen your dog slink away at times when voices get raised during an argument? Is this telepathy or empathy?
A recent study published at Plos.org appears to show that contagious yawning may be a sign of cross-species empathy. Contagious yawning, or yawning after being exposed to the sight or sound of another yawn, has previously been documented among some primate species and birds. Read more…
