| What’s New? New Pet Sitting Options! Are you going away for vacation and are unsure about where your dog will stay? We are here to help! We offer pet sitting in your home if your dog would be more comfortable in his own space. If your dog would love one-on-one attention throughout the day or playtime with other dogs, we can shuttle him to daycare for the day! He will play in daycare with the other dogs, or can just hang out with us solo in our grooming room. This will provide your dog with attention, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day. Our pet care is priced at $55/day for one dog, whether we come to your home or have him here with us at Go Play! Great care at a great price for your pet! |

| What’s New? VACATION REMINDER: Everyone should have received their 2010 Go Play! calendar on the back of the winter 2010 memo. As a reminder, we will be CLOSED FOR VACATION from Thursday, June 24th THROUGH Monday, June 5th. We are offering NO DAYCARE during this time, but are offering daily dog walks Monday - Friday. If you are in need of walks during this time period, please contact us as soon as possible to check availability. THANK YOU! NATURA COMPANY SOLD TO PROCTOR & GAMBLE We would like to inform you that the Natura company (who makes California Natural, Evo, and Innova - just to name a few) has been sold to Proctor & Gamble. We are not sure what the future of this company is, as P & G doesn't have a great track record with promoting healthy and organic pet (or human) food and products. We will keep you informed of any ingredient and sourcing changes. We are undecided at this time if we will continue to support Natura products, but for the time being (at least until August) you can count on us stocking our usual supply of Natura food. Please contact us for more information, or for other food recommendations. |

NATURA COMPANY SOLD TO PROCTOR & GAMBLE We would like to inform you that the Natura company (who makes California Natural, Evo, and Innova - just to name a few) has been sold to Proctor & Gamble. We are not sure what the future of this company is, as P & G doesn't have a great track record with promoting healthy and organic pet (or human) food and products. We have posed many questions to the company about ingredient and sourcing changes and have not received any answers. Due to our strong feelings about this matter, and your customer feedback, we have decided to cease doing business with this company.
