Paramount Lemon Sunscreen/Bug Spray (#141)
Let your pet play outside as much as they want this summer without worrying about sun or insects!  Our safe, pesticide-free spray repels pesky insects such as flies, mosquitoes, gnats, bees, hornets, wasps, fleas, and ticks.  It also protects your pet from harmful UV rays using a natural sunscreen with soybean oil and cottonseed.

Profile of Success

 Lisa S

Lisa S. (#2356) lives in Leesburg, Florida.  She is coming up on 9 years happily married to a wonderful hubby, Ronnie, and they have one amazing child, Kyle.  She homeschools her son and absolutely loves it.
 
Lisa says she chose Shure Pets for several reasons: "To name just a few; it involves animals (which I love), is reasonably priced, and most importantly, there is nothing else quite like it out there."
 
Previously Lisa was in the corporate world as Director of Radiology.  She stepped out of the career world to be a stay-at-home mom. Shure Pets has allowed her a great opportunity to turn a hobby into a lucrative business.  Lisa says, "I love animals, and I love working with people, so it really was an easy decision!"
 
Lisa has prior home-based business experience as well, but she notes that none have had such strong corporate support.  Lisa says that "the training and ongoing help from the corporate office really makes Shure Pets different. I find it much easier to book parties and find interested people to join my team than I ever did with any other direct sales company that I worked with."
 
When asked why she enjoys working with Shure Pets, Lisa states that she loves "the diversity Shure Pets offers as well. The possibilities are truly endless! I am currently working to reach the next level in the Shure Pets leader structure...wish me luck!" 

 

Thanks Lisa!  We look forward to continued success with you!

Purr-fect Pet Health Tips
Bobby in the bushes
Warm Weather Pet Health
Pools/Lakes: Children are not the only ones who can drown when left unattended in pools or lakes. Never leave your pet attended when they are swimming and always make sure they have an easy way out or the pool is enclosed and inaccessible.
Fishing Tackle: Colorful stinky fishing lures are very tempting to cats, dogs and birds and can prove to be very dangerous. Hooks are usually barbed and can not be backed out until the barb is removed. Never try to remove these hooks on your own. Seek veterinary help and sedation to prevent tissue trauma.
Pick up Trucks: Dogs love to feel the wind in their faces but uncovered truck beds are a very dangerous place for your pet. Sudden stops or turns can throw your pet from the truck and a major injury could occur from the fall or by being hit by an oncoming car. Additionally, there is a lot of debris and insects moving at high velocities that can cause eye injuries. It is best if your pet is secured inside your truck.
Bite Wounds: Spring and summer are the times when dog parks are full of dogs. Many of these dogs are harmless but when faced with certain conditions a dog can turn suddenly and bite.
  • Stay close to your pet.
  • Introduce your dog to other dogs and watch their responses.
  • If all is friendly, then it is safe to let them play.
  • If any type of agression is shown, take your dog to another part of the park and find a new playmate.
  • Do not try to break up a fight by getting in the middle.  Use leashes or water to separate the dogs.
  • If you or your dog receives a bite wound, seek medical help to prevent infection.

Windows: Whether you live in a private home or an apartment, you'll be tempted to open windows to let in the fresh air. Be sure to keep screens or protective bars on your windows to prevent your pets from escapes or falls. And bird owners should make sure their feathered friends are protected from drafts.
Spring Clean-ups: Keep all household cleaners and chemicals out of reach of your pets.
Lawn Care: Lawn chemicals can be very toxic if ingested. Try to keep your pet off new fertilized lawns for 24 hours. Always save the original bag for later reference if ingestion occurs. If your pet does ingest these chemicals, contact your veterinarian.
Cars: Never leave your pet unattended in your car. While it is never a good season to leave a pet in a car unattended, summer can be particularly deadly. Don't lull yourself into a false sense of security by leaving the window open. It never takes long for heat to rise and you're pet to suffer from heat stroke.
Heat Stroke: This is very serious and you should always seek medical care. It does not always take much on a warm day for a dog or cat to experience heat stroke. If your pet experiences a heat related issue cover them with a cool wet towel and transport to your veterinarian immediately.
