Archer could not be more excited about our sale!
We are excited to announce that Mimi, local business owner and designer of Give A Dog A Home, is having a special deal on bait bags just for our new blog readers! If you buy a dog treat pouch from her Etsy shop, she will imprint the new Pet Pals logo on it for free (an $8 value)! A variety of colors and fabric types are available (outdoor fabric in pacific blue is shown in these pictures), and you can also choose the ink color. But white really pops, doesn't it?
This sturdy bag is handmade with a fancy French hinge for easy access to treats, plus plenty of space for everything you need on a doggie outing: a tennis ball, your wallet, keys, and potty bags. The bag is machine washable, and the owner stands by her products. Please see her listing for more details and like her shop on Facebook.
This is a great gift for any dog lover, animal trainer, or veterinary professional. This bag would also make a thoughtful graduation gift for an aspiring veterinarian or veterinary technician.
I can't wait to use mine at work instead of keeping treats in my pockets. This way, I won't forget about dog treats in my pockets when my scrubs go through the wash and my pockets won't be full of crumbs from Charlee Bears.
We are also working with GADAH to eventually obtain jackets for all our adoptable dogs. If you are interested in donating a jacket for one or more of our dogs, please make a donation and write For Dog Adoption Jacket in the comments. Jacket prices start at $22, but any amount is appreciated. Thank you!
Stay tuned for more special deals like this one! We are serious about expanding this year and plan to have lots of special promotions and even giveaways especially for you, our loyal blog readers!
As many of you know, Pet Pals has been around since 1998. In all this time, we have used the same logo, designed by someone very close to the founders of the organization. Now, 17 years later, we realized that the time for change has come, but we didn't want to completely forsake a logo that had served us well for almost two decades. We searched and searched, but could not find anything that really struck a chord with us. Until we found Olga Invanova on Shutterstock. We immediately fell in love with her style and asked if she could come up with a logo that would satisfy both our need to modernize our look as well as our desire to stay true to our origins. A short time after our request, she sent us the picture on the right. Check out our then and now!
We love it! She donated the design to us with her permission to use it as we pleased!
Here is our original logo:
Here is the new logo!
A big thank you to Olga for designing our new logo - we are officially big fans of hers! We just love her style and sensibility. To see more of her work, see her Shutterstock portfolio. Olga sent us this picture of her furry family wishing us good luck from all of them. Aren't they adorable? Thank you, Olga!
Another big thank you to Anthony Nielsen, who added the text to make the logo complete. It looks fabulous!
