Dog-Days-Summer-2016

Arvidson Pools & Spas hosts their 2nd Annual Dog Days of Summer promotion throughout the month of August as a way of raising funds for several local animal rescue/shelter organizations.

Each location is partnering with a local shelter:

Care for a Cause

“Many of our customers and employees are animal lovers,” said Retail Division Manager, Nadine Nuzzo. “Our St. Charles retail manager owns many rescue pets, and it’s a cause that is dear to our hearts.

Last year we began the Dog Days of Summer promotion and hosted our first pet adoptions at each of our hot tub stores.  It was a huge success and we decided to expand on this idea and hopefully raise even more money,” she said.

Pet Adoption Events

Pet adoption events are held Saturday, August 13, and Saturday, August 27, from 12-3 pm at our hot tub stores in Crystal Lake, Palatine, and St. Charles.  We hope individuals and families who are interested in adopting a dog or cat will come out and meet some adorable options.

Bring your dogs with you and try out the Aqua Comb pet washing tool in our Dog Washing station.  Free pet treats are provided!

Hot Tub Special

In addition to pet adoptions, the company is donating $50 for every hot tub sold during the month of August to our shelter/rescue partners.  If you are an animal lover and are also ready to improve your life with the healthy benefits of warm water therapy, this is the month to buy!

20% Off Pet Items

Save 20% on all pet treats and supplies, including dishes, mats, collars and more!

Raffle Basket

Each hot tub store has a Raffle Basket on display. The are filled with dog supplies, treats, and services with an approximate value of $200.  Tickets are $1 for 1 ticket, $5 for 6 tickets, and $10 for 15 tickets.  Proceeds from raffle ticket sales will be donated to the shelters, and the winner will be drawn on Thursday, September 1.

Arvidson Donation and Coupon

Another way Arvidson Pools & Spas is raising funds for the shelters is through a coupon. We are posting it on social media and sending it through email.

Arvidson will donate 10% of all purchases made using this coupon to the shelters.*

“We expect that the combination of these offers will result in a significant contribution to our local animal shelters/rescues.  Come out and help us make a difference for all of our four-legged friends this month,” Nuzzo said.

*Hot tubs, saunas, pools, and service work are excluded from this offer.

 

Enjoy Life to the Fullest is Top 2016 Resolution

According to Money magazine’s annual survey, “enjoy life to the fullest” is the most popular New Year’s resolution, with nearly half (45.7%) of survey respondents planning to set this as one of their 2016 goals.

Following right behind was:

  • Live a healthier lifestyle (41.4%)
  • Lose weight (39.6%)
  • Spend more time with family and friends (33.2%)

Arvidson hot tub owners are on the right track!

Not only does soaking in warm water increase circulation, relax muscles, and improve respiratory function, it’s also a surefire way to reconnect with loved ones (no electronics allowed or needed).  Congrats, hot tub nation, you’re one step ahead of the rest!

Hey, pool owners, want to extend your water immersion throughout the year?  Is your top 2016 resolution similar to those above?

We’re here for you when you decide to get a hot tub!
