These days I can’t come home with any kind of bag that Max, my nearly 12 year old Pit Bull, doesn’t just assume is for him. And last week was no exception – after attending the Pet News Now spring pet product showcase in NYC, I had to hide the swag bag from him! But it didn’t take long for him to realize that there was a lot of pet stuff in that bag – or his eyes, “mine, mine, mine!” And of course his whole head was in the bag pulling out pet items – I am sure my fellow pet industry peeps can relate.
I wonder what goes through the minds of our pets who are so lucky to have moms in the pet industry – dog forbid we just go grocery shopping! BOL!
Ok back to the Pet News Now show – with a lot of brand new pet products to the market place at the show, there are still a lot to test and try out and let you all know what we think about them. But for now here is a sampling of some of the products.
Here’s one that I can’t wait to try, Tick-SR is a product that safely helps you remove a tick that is already latched onto to your dog. With just a few non-toxic ingredients (Denatured Alcohol, Purified Witch Hazel, Salicylic Acid, and Benzalkonium Chloride), Tick-SR helps you pull the tick off as those ingredients dissolve the ‘glue’ if you will that helps the tick hang on to your dogs. And you can easily get the whole tick off – which is important. Check out there website and see for yourself.
Another product that I actually already tried and was very impressed with the results was from CritterZone. A compact, filterless air purifier that has a tag line of ‘How could something so small handle a problem that is so BIG?’ It’s true, I thought the same thing! Now if I could just get one for my car – wonder if they can make an adapter for it?
So once you have used the air purifier – you may think your pup needs a bath too right? Yes, that is what Max needs, but don’t tell him as he is not a big fan of bath time. But lucky for him we got a great full size sample of WAHL‘s Oatmeal shampoo. (Thanks to WAHL for the awesome bags too!) Can’t wait to try it on him.
And what better way to reward Max after his bath, well with a Life is Grruff scrumptious dog treat! Max just LOVES Kim Loper who makes these treats, (ok truth be told – he loves the treats more, sorry Kim!), and he can’t get enough of the barkscotti – but look at her decorated treats that were at the event. Max is drooling!
Ok if you are jealous, or drooling too over the Life is Grruff treats too, you can get your very own doggie themed Pet Toast. Seriously, I am not kidding…
Currently available in 13 different breeds, made by Pangea Brands – now you can get that dog person who has everything in their breed, something they probably don’t have!
