Other pets products at Global Pet Expo 2015



Hello Pet Journal readers! I just got back from a long hike up at Point Beach State Forest and I encourage you to do the same. May is a perfect month for exploring our woods, Ice Age trails, and scenic routes hidden all over Wisconsin. The weather is usually nice and sunny, warm but not hot so minimal bugs, all you need is a light sweater and you’re set. If you want to take your pets along, there are plenty of dog friendly trails, just know where you’re walking, what the rules are and be sure to pick up after your pet. As I wrote in my last article, Global Pet Expo 2015 was a huge success with hundreds of new and exciting pet products. Last month I showed you all the best dog products; this month, I’d like to show you all the best products for other pets.

Groom Genie: For pet owners with long haired pets, you know they need brushing to keep the knots and tangles out and keep their coat healthy. Dogs tend to be more patient, cats less so, and plenty of pets just hate the dreaded brush. For others, it’s almost impossible to get them to cooperate. The Groom Genie is a different kind of brush. Its unique tri-length bristle pattern and ergonomic shaped grip (no handle) disguise the brushing process as petting, and what pet doesn’t like to be pet? The bristles gently unravel knots and tangles while distributing natural oils, leaving coats shiny, soft, and healthy. Your pet won’t want it to end. $19.99

Kitty Connection Mouse Pounce: A simple electronic box toy for cats, in which a mouse toy pops in and out a hole on the top like the classic game of Whack-a-Mole. Toys like these simulate prey and bring out a cats wild instincts. There’s a corrugated scratcher surface on top and what’s most surprising is the price. Available soon! $12.99

BioBubble: An amazing new product that won multiple awards at the Global Pet Expo this year. Biobubble is the most versatile habitat. A modern, elegant habitat that comes in 4 models; Premium, Aquatic, Terra, and the WonderBubble. Each habitat is specially suited, and together can house almost anything; fish, hamsters, birds, reptiles, snakes, butterflies and even terrarium. All the models are incredibly versatile and are engineered for strength, durability and ease of use. Accessories and add- ons allow you to customize BioBubble, including cages, expanders, fans, lights, bungalows and the list goes on and on. I strongly urge anybody looking for a habitat to check out BioBubble: www.biobubblepets.com. Prices vary.

Cat of Thrones: The world’s first and only toilet seat for cats. For those trying to train their cats to use the toilet, Cat of Thrones gently eases your cat into using the toilet by resting on top and disguising it as a litterbox. As the cat grows accustomed to it, simply punch out the rings to widen the hole until he’s using the toilet on its own. Each ring features drainage holes for pouring water over the dissolving litter (included) for easy cleaning of waste. Best of all, Cat of Thrones does not interfere with the using of the toilet. Starter kit includes Cat of Thrones, dissolving litter, cleaner, treats and instructions. $29.95

SuperCat Catnip Crumples: Fantastic way to stimulate play for cats! Catnip Crumples are sheets that use the same technology as Scratch ‘N Sniff stickers, but instead are infused with small bubbles of catnip that burst when crumpled, scratched or rubbed. Nano-Burst technology constantly releases scent when bubbles are broken, lasting approximately six weeks. Simply tear off a sheet, crumple and toss to spice up your kitties day. Also available as a small sticker, stick to any surface for instant fun. 40 crumples/60 stickers per package. $4.99
