Pet Traveling Tips

Dear [contact-firstname],

Some of our VIP list members are reporting difficulty receiving our monthly e-mail newsletter. To ensure you can continue receiving this message, please add us to your contact list or safe list. Thanks!

Summer's almost here, and it may be time to hit the road along with your pet. Traveling with your pet can be rewarding and fun, but special care should be taken to ensure your pet arrives safely and happily.

Before you pack, be prepared. For example, do you know that it is recommended pets not be sedated for air travel? That's because sedatives can create balance, respiratory, and cardiovascular problems at increased altitude pressures. The following sites will help you prepare for a safe and happy trip for both two- and four-legged travelers:

May savings for VIPs

May 30th is National "Hug Your Cat Day" and to celebrate, every cat product at Metropawlis will be 10% off the weekend of May 28th through May 30th. That's 10% off every cat bowl, glitter ball, kitty treat, feather toy, and litter box in the store! This special is only from 5/28 through 5/30 and only for VIPs , so please let us know that you're a Metropawlis VIP at the time you check out.

Metropawlis will be adopting a new summer schedule beginning in early June. We'll be open seven days a week! Our new schedule will be:

  • Monday through Saturday: 11 am to 7 pm

Yappy Hour Coming in June!

On Saturday, June 5th we're sponsoring our first-ever "Yappy Hour." Advance tickets can be purchased at Metropawlis starting May 12 for $15. Tickets purchased the day of the event will be $20.

Metropawlis, ROMP (Residents for Off-Leash Milwaukee Parks), and Companion Natural Pet Food are planning the event at Bucketworks, an art space near downtown. The "Yappy Hour" will run from 6 pm to 9 pm and will feature fun for dogs and humans alike including music, entertainment, refreshments, and activities!

New pet pix online

We try to keep our site fresh with new pix each and every month. Some of this month's pet pictures were taken during our Pet Owner's Day celebration. Please visit the Pet Pix section of our Web site to enjoy dozens of delightful shots of cats, dogs, and more.
