If you missed Metropawlis' re-opening weekend, you missed a great time.  Gallery Night in the Ward was hot, and we've got the pictures to prove it!  Check out the photos of our new store, including the delicious, fresh-baked Three Amigos pet treats you'll find at our new location at 317 North Broadway Street.  (And if you couldn't make it to the Gallery Weekend event, don't worry--future Gallery weekends are scheduled for July 28-29 and October 20-21.)

We hope the pictures pique your curiosity enough to plan a visit soon.  In fact, this Friday night would be a great time to stop by--check out the details below about the Red Lite Nite shopping event!

Events and more events--starting this Friday night!

Enjoy one of our scheduled events or plan your own--either way we think you and your pet will have a memorable experience at Metropawlis:

• Historic Third Ward Red Lite Nite this Friday: Our shop will participate in the Third Ward’s Red Lite Nite, an evening of late-night shopping in the Historic Third Ward. This event kicks off on Friday, May 5th with participating retailers remaining open for shopping until 9 pm or later on the first Friday of every month. Metropawlis will be among the dozens of boutiques and restaurants that will stay open late this Friday night, and we'll welcome you and your pets with refreshments.
• Birthday Parties: Our new store is a great venue to host your next doggie birthday party! We have two party options and four party themes available; each one includes Three Amigos Dog Bakery, special discounts, and a private shopping experience. Pick up at brochure the next time you’re at the store or give us a call and we’ll mail one to you.

• Catering Menu from Three Amigos Pet Bakery: Birthdays aren’t the only occasion to treat your pet to freshly-baked treats. We have a selection of dog treat party platters available for any occasion. Brochures are available at the store or give us a call and we’ll mail one out. Perfect for corporate events, “Barkmitvahs” Doggie Showers or any dog-friendly party!

Brand new store filled with exciting new pet items

While our store was on hiatus, we weren't resting!  Instead, we continued our search for fun, new products for your cat and dog.  Here are some of the great new items you'll find at Metropawlis:

• Wubba Dog Toys: The Water Wubba is great for water play, designed to be easy to see and to dry quickly.  Land-loving dogs will go for the original Wubba Wubba.  Both have long tails that make it easy to pick up without grabbing a slimy tennis ball. Great for playing tug, throwing, and fetching, the reinforced ballistic nylon will provide many long hours of enjoyment for your canine.
• Beds: Metropawlis has expanded its bed selection with great new fabrics and patterns including the "Furcedes," "Just the Guys" and "Candy Hearts" beds!  These have been making waves in the boutiques in California, and we're happy to offer these exclusive pet beds here in Milwaukee.
• Kitty’s Purrfect Playhouse: The all-in-one center for scratching, napping, eating, or playing.  Cats will enjoy the durable woven sisal roof, refillable cat grass, and spring-action mailbox and birdhouse.  Solid wood construction that is easy to assemble with no screws or tools.
• New Gift Items: Looking for the perfect gift for the pet lover in your life? We have great new treat jars, frames and dishes in stock. Perfect for any décor.   
• New Spa Items: Make sure your pet is pampered with our new selection of spa products. Metropawlis is pleased to offer spa selections from Happy Tails Spa Line including shampoos, coat fresheners and the new “Fur Breeze” aromatic sprays. We also have cute bathrobes and towels available, as well.

We appreciate you signing up for our VIP (Very Important Pet) list and staying on our list!  Every month, we share special VIP-only savings, and here is this month's:  Save $15 on any in-stock carrier (and we've got plenty in stock!) 

This special cannot be combined with any other coupons or offers and is available only to Metropawlis VIPs.  Please remind us that you're a VIP before checking out.  This offer expires at the end of May, so now is the perfect time to pick up a new carrier for the summer!

We're proud to share that Metropawlis is gaining a national reputation as a stylish and hip pet boutique.   This month's Pet Product News International features an article about "Canine Confections" that includes comments from Metropawlis owner Geri Ray. She praised our Milwaukee customers for being "supportive of local businesses" and "encouraging us to experiment with new ideas."

We hope you'll soon come see the new ideas offered by Metropawlis and Three Amigos Pet Bakery!
