An open letter from Virgil Klunder 
Executive Director - Pocket Pets

Dear potential Sugar Bear “moms & dads”:,

    In the last few years, Sugar Bears have grown RAPIDLY in popularity largely due to regular appearances on Television Specials where they are often characterized as “the perfect pocket pet”.

    As with anything that becomes “popular”, it's not long before “quick-buck artists”, activists, and opportunists begin to flood-in; especially in today's internet age, where (quite frankly) ANYBODY can “look” like an expert – and NOBODY is required to prove that a word they say is actually TRUE. That being said, in the last few years there has been a massive increase in so-called Sugar Bear “expert” internet sites and message boards, to the point where there are now literally dozens of these sites out there who all claim they:

    With that in mind, before purchasing your new baby(ies) from ANYONE, we strongly suggest you read the five FREE Special Reports located on the front page of our website. They will give you a “no-nonsense”, FACTUAL idea of exactly what is required to raise and care for these adorable little darlings. In addition, the following link is an independent article (not written or solicited by anyone in our company) that objectively examines the damaging effects of Sugar Bear “expert” internet sites and message boards. Before deciding where to buy these wonderful additions to your new family - it is well-worth taking a couple minutes to read all this information. [" Sugar Bear Message Boards: Helpful or Harmful?"]

    In any event, the bottom-line here is to always do your homework – especially when considering bringing an animal into your home who will be a loving member of your family for the next 12-15 years...

    With that in mind, here are TWO important reasons why getting your new little buddy(ies) from Pocket Pets™ is the right thing to do:

• FACE-TO-FACE EXPERIENCE : At Pocket Pets™, we NEVER “ship” individual babies. Instead, we hand-deliver each baby to our new “moms & dads”; and personally meet each of them face-to-face. We do this not only because it is extremely expensive to “ship” a baby and all their supplies (usually around $150-$200) – but much MORE importantly because it is extremely stressful for young babies to be shipped alone (or with one or two companions). As such, they often don't even survive the trip.  
  
      The simple fact is, the team of highly-trained professionals here at Pocket Pets™ has over 15 years of experience raising literally TENS of THOUSANDS of these little darlings – and placing them in loving homes all across the country. As a USDA licensed and regulated company, our team works regularly with the most knowledgeable vets and research facilities in the world that specialize in Sugar Bears, and we are continually held to the strictest of quality and health standards. As such, each baby: 
  
  
  • is inspected by a licensed Veterinarian – who specializes in Sugar Bear care – before being delivered to its new home; and
  • comes with a WRITTEN health guarantee.


• OUR ONGOING COMMITMENT TO YOU “AFTER THE SALE”: One of the reasons why you will almost never see Sugar Bears in “pet shops” is simply because they breed so slowly that it's not really lucrative to breed them commercially (only 2-3 babies/year on average). At the present time, it is estimated that the Pocket Pets™ team is responsible for placing somewhere between 90-95% of all baby Sugar Bears sold in the U.S. each year into their new homes. 

    This is a tremendous responsibility which we take VERY seriously here at Pocket Pets™. As such, every time we place babies with a new family, our only concern is that they are going to a good home that is set up properly – and that each family has the BEST possible experience with their new additions.

    Because of our deep commitment to both our babies and their new families, the day you bring your little ones home is the just the BEGINNING of our journey together...

    Since we already know all the questions you are going to ask before you do – roughly every night for the first 30 days we will be sending you what we call “New Mom & Dad Emails” that are jam-packed with all kinds of useful tips & tricks we've learned over the last 15 years of raising these little darlings. In addition, the day you bring your new baby(ies) home, you will also gain immediate access to the“Family Circle”. This is the private, “members-only” section of our website where you will find the most up-to-date and comprehensive collection of FACTUAL information about raising and caring for Sugar Bears that has ever been publishedanywhere in the world. It is loaded with Special Reports and instructional Video Clips that will be a reliable, ONE-STOP source of knowledge and guidance for your entire family – and it's all part of your FREE Lifetime Membership.

    Finally, as one last demonstration of our commitment, you will also get ourpersonal cell phones and email addresses, so that you can contact us ANY time – day or night – if you ever have a question. This is just our little way of proving“we care”, and that when you get baby(ies) from Pocket Pets™, you really ARE more than just a “customer”. 

    In closing, we sincerely hope you've enjoyed all the introductory information we've provided to you here on our website. Like any animal, Sugar Bears are going to require time, love and attention in order to become good “pets”, and it doesn't happen overnight. We just want to do our best to cut through all the “hype” and make sure every potential new “mom & dad” like yourself has as much up-front FACTUAL information as possible. That way, you can then decide for yourself if this is the right pet for your family. 

    Every weekend, the pros here at Pocket Pets™ have the distinct honor and privilege of introducing these wonderful animals to people all across the country. As such, if we are in your area this weekend, (and you are reading this right now as a part of “doing your homework”), we strongly encourage you to come back and see us while we're still in town. We would love to answer any other questions you still have, and help welcome these fun, loving pets into your family. 

Sincerely,
 
  Virgil Klunder
