Get Your Paws on the Hottest New Pet Products
-With 450 new product launches, APPA's 46th Annual Pet Products Trade Show provides the first opportunity to see what the pet products industry has to offer-
Pee Post Pheromone-Treated Yard Stick by The Bramton Company offers owners a training tool for housebreaking their pets. The pheromone scent built into the plastic stake encourages dogs to use a specific area of the yard while discouraging puppies and dogs from urinating indoors.
For active dog owners, Happy Dog Toys introduces the Ball Park. This toy contains a specially made tennis ball with no harmful glues or toxins and a holder to eliminate handling messy tennis balls while playing with your dog.
Make sure your pet is seen with CMI's Pet Globe Strobe. This safety device attaches to your dog's collar and strobes red, white and blue light visible up to a half mile away. Wipe paws clean before your dog tracks dirt, mud and water into your home and car with The Spotless Paw Dog Paw Cleaning Glove by BrightSpot Solutions. Made with microfiber, the six-fingered glove attracts dirt like a magnet without soap or water.
