Meet Jamoncillo (pronounced ha-mon-see-yo) the Pomeranian and his family! 'Jamoncillo' is kind of like saying 'tiny ham' in Spanish, how cute! It suits him well, but mostly it makes me crave a torta (Mexican sandwich). They're visiting from Texas, so as a souvenir Jamoncillo's parents bought him a cute Venicepets t-shirt. It also helps keep him warm in this chilly L.A weather we've been having.
Stop by next time you're in Venice!

RESTOCK - ECO-FRIENDLY NAP MATS
We've just restocked all colors and sizes of these super popular eco-friendly nap mats! They're made from recycled plastic bottles but don't let the word 'plastic' fool you - these are really soft to the touch, and most dogs who discover these in the shop take to them immediately. They're also machine washable and dryable. I've had one for two years and it still looks like new even after lots of washes!
Available in assorted colors by season, and sizes XS to XL. These are great to throw around your home wherever your pet likes to lay, and fit great inside any crate/kennel! They fold quite nicely, so they're very portable as well. Some customers buy them for their car, or to throw on the couch. Some colors are limited edition, so stop by and pick one up before the color you want is all gone!

NEW ARRIVAL - RETRACTABLE LEADS
We love these new retractable leads we just got in stock. They're like
a traditional lead and a standard retractable lead had a baby. You get the comfort and security of having the strap wrapped around your wrist, while the plastic pod gives your palm the feel and control of a retractable lead with the touch of a switch. Each lead extends up to 6 feet, and features reflective webbing for better night time visibility. Available in sizes small (for pets up to 20 lbs.) and medium (for pets up to 50 lbs.)

RESTOCK - SOFT HARNESSES
We've just restocked soft harnesses in all colors and sizes. Sky blue...
Pink, green....
Red, and black available. We also carry matching leads in each color! Sizes XS to XL available. If you've never tried this style of harness you should - they're soft, as their name suggests, the material is a light, breath-y mesh, and a harness is a great way to eliminate pressure from your pet's neck that a collar can cause. Did you know that as your dog ages, their airway becomes smaller and smaller? This is especially true for small dogs. If you're not sure, stop by the shop with your pet and try one!

RESTOCK - TOUGH CHEW TOYS
We've just restocked these super tough chewtoys for big chewers! They're perfect for dogs with super strong jaws such as pitbulls who tend to tear through anything in 2 seconds. They're made from 100% recyclable material, great for throwing and they float too. The manufacturer even offers customers a guarantee - if your dog chews through the toy, send it back to them with proof of purchase and they will either refund you or send you a new toy. The used up toy gets recycled, so even if your toy lasts a long time, when you're done with it send it back and feel good that it's one less thing inside a landfill. Made in the USA, available in two sizes. You should definitely try these if you've got a big chewer, you have nothing to lose!
For dogs who still love to chew but aren't as destructive with their toys, try one of these nice chewy bones. There's a hint of mint in them, which helps with stinky breath :) They're bouncy and float too. They're also made in the USA! 2% of the proceeds from each toy is donated to a canine service organization. Available in sizes XS to L.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!
Thanks to the support of all of our wonderful customers, we were able to raise $523.00 in donations, t-shirt purchases, and Mari's grooming tips for our fundraiser!
Although we were originally going to donate the funds to the Japanese Red Cross, Mari saw a great need for disaster relief for pets during her trip to Japan last month, so all of the funds were donated to the Japan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Once again thank you so much to all of our customers, we seriously couldn't have done this without your support. Thank you also to everyone who expressed concern for the family members of our staff, who are all doing fine in Japan.
We still have Venicepets t-shirts left and will continue to raise money for disaster relief through the sales of those tees.
Thank you,
Venicepets/Marina Dog Grooming staff
