Business FAQ'S
(Frequently Asked Questions)
  • I am a distributor of another Direct Selling Company. Is it a conflict of interest if I continue to sell for them and also am a Shure Pets Consultant?
    That is acceptable. You may work for any other company (direct selling or not) and still distribute the Shure Pets product line as long as any business you conduct for any other company does not interfere with any of your Shure Pets business and vice versa.

    The company began in October of 2002. We have spent months conducting intense and meticulous research on both the direct sales and the pet industry to arrive at where we are today. This research will always continue as Shure Pets refuses to rest on its past success. Founder Andrew Shure has always been intrigued by the power and nature of the Direct Sales Industry and building a strong team of sales consultants. Furthermore, Andrew has a overwhelming passion for pets. Noting the dynamic growth of both the Direct Sales and Pet Industries, he realized the potential of combining them to form a premier, leading direct selling company. Additionally, giving pet lovers the opportunity to run their own businesses (especially in today's economy) excited Andrew, and thus Shure Pets was created.
