Are you sure you’re the real Santa?
Toby, Lisa Tong’s pomeranian, has a nervous moment with Santa before getting comfortable for a pet portrait at A Touch Of Love Day Spa For Pets on Dec 5. The portrait sessions, as well as a number of other activities including pet psychics and silent auctions, ran for two days, raising money for the Smiling Blue Skies canine cancer fund, and the Springer Rescue of Eastern and Central Canada.
Spa owners Shane Carr and Carl Milson said they hope to bring attention to some of the lesser known, but important pet charities.

PETS REJOICE! NEW SPA TREATMENT LINE RELEASED BY STYLIST GURU Shane Carr
Oct 24, 2005
PETS REJOICE! NEW SPA TREATMENT LINE RELEASED BY STYLIST GURU Shane Carr – CEO A Touch of Love, Inc – The First Pet Stylist In The World To Create A Line Of Spaw Quality Treatments For Pets!
CEO of A Touch of Love, Inc. Shane Carr, a professional and award winning pet stylist has gathered together his 19 years of knowledge and expertise, and packed it into a line of spaw treatments for pets. Formally launched June 11th, 2005, he’s struck gold as the pet industry continues to experience an explosion of popularity. With his Canadian national headquarters located in the heart of Muskoka, Ontario (“Cottage country” for many city-dwellers), it only makes sense that all of the treatments he has devised feature a massive amount of natural ingredients.
“I’ve never seen such a high quality product in the pet industry before. This company is going to go far, the quality is just astounding! People everywhere are going to love spoiling their pets with these products.” says Pierre Bigonesse, a pet industry veteran of 30 years and owner of the famous Quebec, Canada Pet Centre – Twit Palace. “As soon as I saw this product, I knew I wanted it in my store, so I immediately arranged for a formal launch ceremony!”
Fran Dipietro, owner of Muskoka’s Spa for Pets notes, “We started using A Touch of Love’s products exclusively on all of the pets that came to visit because of its high quality and natural ingredients, and our customers can’t say enough about it! Everyone notices the difference in the shine and softness of their pet’s coat. We retail A Touch of Love’s products too, and the amount of repeat buyers and referrals we have is astonishing.”
Canada’s top distributor of pet products, Burgham Sales Ltd., has recently picked up A Touch of Love’s line and is now in the process of stocking up their numerous national pet store contacts. With this, pet-lovers from coast to coast will bear witness to A Touch of Love’s high-style products at their local pet shop, just in time for Christmas 2005. “There’s no end in sight to the demand for these products. I’ve never heard such amazing feedback from the retailers before!” says Steven Schlichtmann Executive of Marketing and Development for Burgham Sales Ltd.
A Touch of Love’s products contain natural spring water, from Wahta Springs, located in Wahta First Nation, Bala, Ontario, Canada. Most interestingly, after much communication between A Touch of Love, Inc. and Wahta Springs, a new product idea was born. A solid partnership between Shane Carr (President/CEO A Touch of Love, Inc.) and Sandra Franks (General Manager of Wahta Springs), has been created to produce an innovative new product: Canada’s first 100% Pure Natural Spring Water for Pets. This creation is formally being unveiled to the world on November 14th at the aforementioned Twit Palace Pet Center. Following this release another exciting product will be launched: Canada’s first 100% Pure Natural Spring Water for Pets, supplemented with vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Sandra Franks expresses, “We are really excited about our new “pet” project with A Touch of Love, Inc., and are proud to say that our spring water is an integral part of A Touch of Love’s ground-breaking pet product line. A Touch of Love, Inc. has certainly demonstrated to us that they are a dominant force on the leading edge of pet products.”
Perhaps the most enticing element of the product line though isn’t it’s more than adequate natural content (from aloe vera to tea tree oil), but the simple fact that it actually works – Pet parents are urged to test A Touch of Love’s products in their own daily hygiene routine, and although the PH balance has been specifically engineered for pets, it regularly outperforms their human-geared products. Judi Moore had this to say: “When they told me to use it on my own hair, I was quite surprised…but very curious as to how it would stand up against my favourite brand of shampoo. Even though it’s made for pets, my hair felt much cleaner when compared to my regular shampoo! [Laughs] Let’s just say that my poor puppy is going to have to get in line to use it, because “mommy” likes it too!”
A Touch of Love, Inc. currently produces 11 main products including: Conditioning Shampoo, Deodorizing Shampoo, Nourishing Leave-in Treatment, Moisturizing Shampoo Bar, Don’t Bug Me™ Spray (natural insect repellent), Don’t Bug Me ™ Moisturizing Bar, Paw Protector, and 4 ‘Pet Refresh’ Fragrances (Spring Rain, Lavender, Sandalwood and Baby Powder)
In addition to their main line, they are presently unveiling to the world their all new Spaw Accessories – Signature Collection line which includes: Spaw Robes, Spawcense,4 scents of Aromatherapy Candles (Puppy Love, Dogs Delight, Moonlight Howl, Midnight Prowl), 2 Spaw Music CD’s, and a variety of Spaw Sponges.
In addition, the soon to be released 100% pure natural spring water for pets, and 100% pure natural spring water for pets, with nutritional supplements.

August – 2007
Attention: Health, Lifestyle Editors / Producers.
With 10 heat alerts – affecting animals as well as humans – this summer alone, here’s a cool idea for a story. The Therapeutic Spaw Jacket.
For Immediate Release
Toronto, Ontario – A Touch Of Love® announces today the launch and release of its highly anticipated Therapeutic Spaw Jacket, a revolution in pet therapy.
This veterinarian-recognized-and-recommended product is now available for the general public to ameliorate companion pets’ ailments. In development as a tool of balance and wellbeing, the Therapeutic Spaw Jacket is widely recognized as a staple in post surgery treatment, offering effective post-op rehabilitation therapy for companion animals suffering from musculoskeletal or spinal injuries. The Therapeutic Spaw Jacket offers reduction of stress and tension (mental and physical) and sleep improvement in companion pets.
Pet suffered a trauma? Many animals suffer from long recovery periods after traumas, injuries, and surgery; the Therapeutic Spaw Jacket has been known to enhance the effect of any medication and shortens recovery time for your furry friend.
Protect against the influences of the climate in hot and cold temperatures using the thermal treatment. The Therapeutic Spaw Jacket can be used to soothe and relax your pet after a day at the beach or a day playing fetch with those cold snow balls. Using the Therapeutic Spaw Jacket immediately reduces overheating and dehydration, strengthening the immune system and increasing resistance to seasonal infections and allergies. The innovative design of the jacket utilizes the benefits of heat and cold therapy.
Specially formulated non-toxic gel packs are inserted in the jacket at the crucial target areas of the hips, shoulders and neck and spine. When heat is applied to the selected areas of the body, the blood flow to that area is increased, improving the flow of nutrients and oxygen to sore stiff muscles, helping to heal the damaged tissue. Consequently, there is a decrease in pain and stiffness and an increase in flexibility and an overall feeling of comfort.
A Touch of Love Therapeutic Spaw Jacket will also prove useful for warming up the muscles of athletic and hard working dogs, increasing flexibility and decreasing injuries.
Alternating between heat and cold therapy can promote the healing of damaged tissues and ease pain and discomfort for our precious pets! The rule of thumb for heat and cold therapy is 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off.
A Touch Of Love Inc.’s Therapeutic Spaw Jacket is now available directly from A Touch Of Love Inc. at www.atouchoflove.ca , and in selected Veterinary clinics.
