Global Pet Expo 2015 Dog Products!



Hello Pet Journal readers, I hope your Spring is off to a great start. As some of you may know, the 2015 Global Pet Expo was held March 4th - 6th, the pet industries largest annual trade show. Featuring some 1,051 exhibiting companies, 3,113 booths and more than 3,000 new product launches. Obviously with those numbers, I can't possibly show you all the newest products. So for this month, I'd like to show you some of the top dog products, winners and favorites. Enjoy!

Cycle Dog Collars: These collars will last for years! Hand crafted by a small company in Oregon from bicycle inner tubes, these collars are durable, comfortable and will NOT fray like conventional nylon collars. The rubber tube also makes it quick drying and doesn't absorb oils or odors. Overlayed colors, patterns, and reflective material for any dog. Also be sure to check out their whole line of recycled bicycle tube products. Around $25.00

Pod Trackers: The World's smallest and lightest real-time GPS Pet tracker. Pod is a sleek tracking device (about the size of a wine cork) which attaches to your pets collar and lets you instantly locate your animal from your phone as well as track their activity and fitness levels. Best of all - no contracts or monthly fees. $185.00

iFetch: The automatic ball launcher for dogs addicted to fetch. It's simple, just plug in, set to desired distance (10, 20 or 30 feet) drop in a ball and your dog's ready to go. Dogs learn quick how to play with the iFetch by themselves, and training tips are included for the dogs who have more of a challenge. Uses 1.5" balls (3 included) and optional batteries for non plug in use. $115.00

Foobler: A dogs natural instinct is to hunt and forage for food. It keeps their brain and body active and engaged. The Foobler is an automatic puzzle feeder with 6 timer activated pods that deliver a full days worth of kibble or treats. There are many puzzle and time release feeders available but Foobler is unique as it bridges the gap between the two. Just fill the 6 pods with up to 2 cups of kibble, set the intervals (15, 30, 60, 90 minutes a bell will ring alerting your pet) and it's ready to enable controlled feeding thorought the day while stimulating your dog mentally and physically. Made out of high density polyethylene to withstand the harshest treatment from your dog. Easy to clean and available in multiple colors. Bluetooth version is also available allowing more options and customization. $39.99

Next month I will be featuring the favorite products for cats and other pets. Thanks for reading!
