Planet Dog's New On the Go Collection
Robert Doyle READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Portland, Maine - Planet Dog's new On the Go Collection makes it easy for dog lovers to take their canine companions along with them no matter where their adventures take them.
The On the Go line offers a portable Feedbag, Food and Water Bowl and Snack Sack. This extraordinarily light, collapsible, rollable, stuffable and very packable waterproof collection was designed with easy transport and storage in mind.
The On the Go Feedbag is modeled after a paddling dry bag and keeps up to 30 cups of kibble fresh and handy. The feather-light On the Go Food and Water Bowl gives dogs a means to feed and quench their thirst no matter where they are. It pops open for easy access, sits flat for stability and is available in two sizes (small holds 1.5 quarts and large 2.25 quarts). It fits easily into backpacks, beach bags and glove compartments.
The On the Go Snack Sack, a dog trainer's best friend, was inspired by the nifty chalk bags carried by rock climbers. It features a drawstring closure and can be easily clipped or velcroed to the waist, making it perfect for positive training anywhere outside the home.
The linings of the durable poly-canvas bags, bowls and sacks are made from PU, an eco-friendlier material than PVC. The On the Go Feedbag, Food and Water Bowl and Snack Sack are offered in four attractive and colorful striped patterns: Seaside Blue, Sunset Pink, Harvest Orange and Forest Green. The suggested retail prices range from $10.95 - $16.95.
Planet Dog's Shammy is another great tool for canine adventures on the go. It is made from 100% recycled wood chips and is perfect for post-bath, post-swim or post-walk in the rain. This super-duper, fast-drying eco-friendly towel absorbs over 10 times its weight, and line-dries in a hurry to be ready for the next outing.
Planet Dog's products are socially responsible, too. Planet Dog is proud to donate 2% of every product purchase to the Planet Dog Foundation (PDF) to support canine service programs nationwide. PDF provides cash grants to organizations throughout the country that train, place and support dogs helping people in need.
Since January 2006, PDF has given away over $750,000 in cash grants and in-kind product donations to exemplary non-profit organizations. To see the 2% in action, please visit www.planetdogfoundation.org.
