Red Nose Day – we did it and THANK YOU!

    

This is an update to our RED NOSE DAY news and a BIG THANK YOU to all our lovely customers and friends who donated on the day. We have raised £263.72 so far for Comic Relief and we still have more coming in as pledges are fulfilled and people donate online at https://www.justgiving.com/NotJustPets

The customers at Frome helped keep Steph silent all day (a miracle!) and the staff at Bath helped keep our staff ‘spinning’ in the hamster ‘wheel’ and eating doggie treats.

Both shops sold lovely Red Nose Day cakes and dressed up Funny for Money. A HUGE thank you to all who supported this day and for helping to make a difference via Comic Relief.  Here’s what your cash can do :o)

You can follow us here on Facebook or @NotJustPets on Twitter; email us at bathpets@aol.com or telephone us on 01225 461461

Keep up the good work for Comic Relief everyone and THANKS again! 🙂

Not Just Pets does Red Nose Day !

Yes, it’s that funny time of year again! Well, it’s every two years, but you know what I mean? It’s Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day on Friday 15th March and all the Not Just Pets teams are doing something funny for money on that day.

Please help sponsor or support us – at Bath we are eating doggy treats (!), running in a giant hamster wheel (treadmill), and you can design a dog bowl (pick up a plate and pay £1 to enter) or win a bag of dog food – just buy a lucky ticket!

In Frome Steph is being sponsored to be quiet ALL DAY. Will she do it?? –  it will be a miracle if so – and she needs your help; the more she raises, the longer she stays silent – and the staff will thank you for that! 🙂

At both shops we have Red Nose cakes for sale and fancy dress. At Larkhall Lee will be dressed up and will also be selling cakes and taking donations.

We have Red Nose Windows in Bath and Larkhall – and the hamster ‘wheel’ will be in the Bath window all day. Please support us – pop in, donate, make a difference. Thank you!!

Happy New Year to all our Customers from Not Just Pets!

Happy New Year everyone! We hope your Christmas was merry and bright. Ours was busy and we are just settling in to this new year and rearranging our stock to bring some exciting new products into store.

First up is the Leuchtie LED collar – perfect for these long, dark winter nights walking with your dog. They are completely waterproof, extremely easy to put on your dog (just slide over the head) and they come with a TWO YEAR guarantee. They come in a rainbow range of colours and in sizes from mini upwards.

     

 

We are also stocking all the new Hungry HectorLily’s Kitchen and the new Billy + Margot  venison treats and some new treats from Harry’s Gourmet – including “chocolates” which look as good as Thorntons and are completely safe for dogs.

The Billy + Margot venison treats are made using 100% venison and they are air-dried slowly to retain all the nutrients. The range includes: Treats, Chew sticks, Marrow bones and Liver bites. Lily’s Kitchen also have a new range of venison treats and we will be stocking those from our next order.

We have also started making some little YouTube videos for you – some for fun, some as useful hints and tips and some telling you about new products. Check out our YouTube stream here and why not subscribe so you keep up to date with all that is going on at Not Just Pets!

We also now have a bespoke service for hand made hammocks, igloos and cubes for small animals, dog and cat beds, dog and cat collars and figure-of-eight harnesses called Creature Comforts. We have a range of swatches and can have these items made to size – just ask and we will get back to you with a quotation asap.  Here is a sample of some of the wonderful items in the range:

       

Plus don’t forget we now stock the fabulous PAWZ boots, Lupine leads and collars, Tuffy toys and Zogoflex toys.

We are stockists of the new Nature’s Way hypoallergenic, pocket-friendly dog food too – and we deliver FREE to the local area or for an online spend of over £35.

If you are an O2 customer, you can take advantage of the O2 Priority Moments scheme – we have signed up and all O2 customers can get special offers by downloading the vouchers from the O2 Priority website. At the moment, it is £5 off any spend over £35 so more New Year savings for you!
