This month at Metropawlis
The rumors are absolutely not true! Metropawlis is not moving to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills! Okay, there are no such rumors, and we're very happy bringing joy to the lives of Milwaukee pets and their human companions. But, we've had some exciting calls from Hollywood that we want to share with you. Plus, as we do each month, we'd like to provide some news about new items in store and some Very Important Pet savings. Finally, if you haven't caught YouTube's best pet videos, we have some links you'll enjoy! Hollywood comes to Metropawlis!
A few days later, staffers from My Name is Earl called to order a Kittywalk Pink Pet Stroller for an upcoming episode. We're not sure when (or even if) it will appear, but should Earl, Joy, Randy, or Darnell roll a pet stroller across your television screen, you'll know it came from Milwaukee! Finally, two of our pet strollers and some Three Amigos Dog Treats were featured in a special pet section in the national magazine "Cooking with Paula Deen." Paula, a pet lover herself, is known to many “foodies” from her TV show on the Food Network. Featured in the article were the Happy Trails PLUS Pet Stroller and the Kittywalk Original Pet Stroller! New Pet Products at MetropawlisEach and every month we bring exciting new products into the store so that you'll find each visit to be a new experience. Here is this month's batch of new items for cats and dogs:
New Three Amigos Bakery Products. Three Amigos has been busy creating new products for your pet to enjoy. Purchase one of our new Gift Baskets for a new puppy, for a birthday, to perk up a sick pup or just because! Each basket contains four peanut butter treats with yogurt and carob coatings. Football Apparel, Collars & Treats. Now that football season is upon us, your pet wants to show his or her team spirit! Outfit your dog in an officially-licensed Packer jersey (or Bears jersey for you Illinois folks). If apparel is not your dog's thing, add some team spirit with a Packer or Badger collar! And when halftime arrives, be prepared with fresh-baked Packer & Badger dog treats from Three Amigos Pet Bakery! Birthday Items for your Pooch: Celebrating your dog’s birthday with a home party is a great way to mark his or her special day! Metropawlis' birthday selections include hats, invitations, napkins, birthday-themed toys and apparel, and birthday bones – all ready for immediate purchase. Custom, personalized cakes and treat party platters are also available for purchase but require a 7- to 10-day notice. Stop in today to pick up a brochure. Natural Peacock Feathers for Kitties: Sometimes the classic toys are the best, and cats always love peacock feathers. These sturdy feathers are 35 to 40" long and are natural moulted feathers.
