February Is National Pet Dental Health Month and EOTL is celebrating your animal’s “pearly whites” with sales on dental products all month long!

Fido or Fluffy’s bad breath could be more than a smelly annoyance; it might signify a serious health risk with the potential to damage not only the animal’s teeth and gums but its internal organs as well.

To address the significance of oral health care for pets, several veterinary groups are sponsoring National Pet Dental Health Month in February. Sponsors include the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS), Academy of Veterinary Dentistry, American Veterinary Dental College, Academy of Veterinary Dental Technicians, Veterinary Oral Health Council and Hill’s Pet Nutrition Inc.

According to the AVDS, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age three, often indicated by bad breath, a change in eating or chewing habits, pawing at the face and mouth and depression.

Stop in during the month of February and take 10% off all dental products until Valentine’s Day.  Skip the brushing all together and take $2.00 off Petz Life Oral Care Spray for the entire month of February!

We carry a wide selection of products to choose from including: toothbrushes, toothpaste, gels, powders, sprays, treats and products that can be added to your pets water.  Many of these products are very easy to administer to your animal—no actual brushing required!  And, as always, they are all-natural.

Barney’s Blessings

Here at EOTL, we feel it’s important to reach out and support other local pet organizations.  We would like to share with you a new service for pets in Mukwonago—a pet food pantry. 

Please visit the Mukwonago Chief Living Lake Country for the full story and details.

In today’s difficult economy, many families are struggling to make ends meet and often turn to local food pantries for support.  But what happens when these families have household pets that need to be taken care of?  Tracy Harris of Mukwonago has founded Barney’s Blessings Pet Food Pantry so family pets will not be forgotten.

Although not a part of the Mukwonago Food Pantry, Harris is working alongside the pantry and has been given permission from pantry board members to use their parking lot to accept donations from 10 a.m. to noon Saturdays.

Thanks for supporting your local businesses and organizations!

Hello Friends,

This week we are talking about our animals’ joint health.

Does your dog or cat have stiffness and discomfort when getting up or down?  Has his or her energy level decreased and spirits seem low?

When an animal’s mobility is limited it can affect their personality and behavior.

End of the Leash carries over 30 different brands of products that help relieve:

• Hip & joint pain
• Arthritis
• Stiffness

These products will enhance your pet’s mobility and comfort and they come in many different forms: treats, gels, powders, liquids and oats.

Most contain glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin and herbs and are a gentle and safe way to help your dog have his day again!

Stop in soon to show us your moves—we’ll be happy to join in!

…And that’s a good thing!  

We are talking about adding Salmon & Cod Liver Oil to your pet’s diet. 

The benefits of fish oil are numerous in supporting optimal dog & cat health by:

• Being a rich source of omega fatty acids
• Creating healthy skin & a beautiful, lustrous sheen in coats
• Supporting a healthy immune system
• Controlling shedding
• Supporting strong bones
• Slowing the progression of inflammation and keeping joints healthy

There are two main classes of essential fatty acids required by both dogs and cats: omega-6 and omega-3.  Dogs and cats have the same need as humans for these essential fats.  Just like us, they cannot adequately produce them and must obtain them from diet or supplementation.  Omega-3’s, EPA and DHA are deficient in the typical pet diet and even though some pet foods may add them it is a challenge to ensure adequate amounts in even the highest quality pet foods.

The best part is they are easy to administer and dogs & cats love it!  The oils can be simply poured onto their food or they also come in a capsule form.

End of the Leash carries a wide variety of oils that are of the highest standards on the market.  The brands we carry guarantee freshness and purity from toxins and are from wild salmon.

Hopefully you’ll be smelling something fishy soon!

Happy Snow Day!

We’ve been dreaming of spring cleaning and have cleared out the holiday items to add space for some great new stuff…

EOTL has gone “green” with a new shipment of wallets, bags, purses and totes from the A Cheerful Pet line.  You’re familiar with the great wool dog toys they make so now check out these products for their humans!  The products from this line are designed in America and then handcrafted by artisans in Nepal.  Each piece is individually handmade with 100% all natural New Zealand wool.  Therefore, each product you receive will truly be a one-of-a-kind piece of art!  By purchasing these products, you are helping Nepali women provide for their families and giving them an enriched quality of life. Also, any product purchased from our PUMA collection provides food, shelter and education for the children of the PUMA orphanage in Nepal.

We have also added a large selection of rugs with dog or cat designs.  Not only will these rugs look great in your home and compliment your décor—they can be washed!  So don’t worry if Fido runs into the kitchen with muddy paws.

We all know that life with an animal is good, and we’ve added new Life Is Good clothing designs to prove it.  Pick up the new “Game On” design and wear it proudly to your next Packer Party or while you’re watching the winter Olympics!

As always, thank you for your support and let us know how we can help you and your pet!

Have a fun weekend!

Happy New Year!

The new year has begun and we are celebrating our 5th Anniversary thanks to you! 

This time of year brings reflection on a year gone by and all the blessings we’ve experienced. 

Three years in a row you’ve voted us the Best Pet Store through the WISN A-List.  We continue to research and bring you the best food, treats, supplements and pet supplies available and we appreciate your trust, support and input. 

Our grooming and SPA services have expanded and we are excited to offer full service grooming seven days a week!

2010 also brings another new and exciting offer—the debut of our DAILY SPECIALS!  Every day we will offer a different special so be sure to stop in often and check our menu board for great deals.

One of the most popular new year’s resolutions is the desire to lose weight.  Our pets can suffer with being overweight from the same complications we do.  The cold Wisconsin winters present the challenge of keeping ourselves and our pets active during this time of year to stay in shape.  Ask us about the benefits of feeding your dog and cat a grain free diet! 

We also carry many different toys to keep your furry friend’s body and mind active when playing outside isn’t an option.   The new Slimcat treat dispensing ball has been a big hit with our feline friends!  Try stuffing your dog’s Kong with some banana, mashed potatoes or freeze some applesauce or chicken soup inside for a low-fat treat.

Also a reminder to remember to check in with our Store Events calendar every week.  There’s lots of stuff going on later this month!

We look forward to seeing you and your furry family members in 2010.  We wish you a year filled with woofs, wags, purrs, treats & lots of kisses!

See you soon,

Your Friends at End of the Leash
