New Pet Products at Metropawlis

Check out the new pet items we have in store:

EnduroPlay Toys: We love these new toys! They're made in the U.S. and minimize the impact to the environment by being recyclable. The EnduroPlay Flying Disk and Ball are created using a blend of foam and rubber.  The soft material allows your dog’s teeth to sink into the toy without ripping it apart. The action of chewing these toys will even help to keep your dog’s teeth clean and sparkling, and its anti-microbial feature helps eliminate odor-causing oral bacteria.

Zogoflex™:  These toys come in two options – the Huck or Hurley! The Huck is made from extremely durable, one-of-a-kind material, Zogoflex.  With its hefty weight and grooved shape this incredible ball will bounce in all directions, giving your dog added exercise and a good mental workout, to boot.   The Hurley is a stick with attitude! Designed to give your dog all the fun of a ball and a bone in one durable toy, this versatile toy is bound to give your favorite chomper hours of enjoyment.

Big Mama Scratch O’ Rama: It’s back! A scratching solution for you and your cat! Your cat's scratching dreams come true. Scratch on, little floor muffins! Large 14" x 17" Sisal scratching mat, infused with catnip, has a very cool and unique look.

Vote For Your Favorite

We'd never be so crass as to ask for your vote, but here are two opportunities to vote for your favorite local businesses (including pet store):

A List:  As small business owners, we believe in the power of locally-owned retailers and appreciate the impact they have on their communities. We hope you’ll take this opportunity to vote for your favorite LOCAL retailers and show them your support. Vote for the “A List” at wisn.com through September 30.

Shepherd Express "Best of":  It's time for to vote for the "Best of 2007" at the Shepherd-Express.com.  This year's ballot features over 100 categories, including pet store, pet grooming, pet sitter, dog park, and neighborhood dog parade. 

Getting through the Marquette Interchange & Parking

Marquette InterchangeGetting to the Third Ward may seem difficult because of the Marquette Interchange Project, but it isn't!  Driving to Metropawlis from the north, south, or west is still very easy.  Click the icon at the right to receive up-to-date driving directions!

And parking nearby is plentiful!  Here's a tip:  Many folks stick to Water and Broadway Streets when seeking parking, but there's a lot more parking to be found just a block or two to the east, on Milwaukee and Jefferson Streets.  There are also three lots and structures within a couple blocks:

  • Milwaukee Public Market Lot: The entrance to the parking lot behind the MPM is off of Water Street, between St. Paul and Clybourn. You can park free for the first hour six days a week, and parking is free in this lot all day on Sundays.
  • Parking Garages: The Third Ward has two large parking garages available for visitors. These can be found on the northeast corner of Milwaukee & Chicago Streets (212 N. Milwaukee St.) and the southeast corner of Water & Chicago Streets (225 E. Chicago St.
