Portland, ME - �Planet Dog's holiday collection offers canine companions on shopping lists holiday-themed soft and squeaky toys and durable Orbee-Tuff� toys for dogs of all sizes and ages as well as a new, Classic Canine Stocking.� The socially responsible pet industry leader is proud to offer shoppers high-quality, unique and meaningful gifts this holiday season.

Planet Dog is proud to donate 2% of every purchase to the Planet Dog Foundation (PDF) to support canine service programs nationwide.� Since January 2006, PDF has given away more than $750,000 in cash grants and in-kind product donations to help more dogs help more people in need.� In addition, PDF receives 100% of the profits from its best-selling Orbee-Tuff� Glow for Good Ball.� http://www.planetdogfoundation.org

For the soft and squeaky toy lover, Planet Dog is introducing the perfect companion to its popular Gingerbread Buddy - the Squeaky Snowman Buddy.� Soft and plush and standing 9" tall, these toys are just right for medium to large dogs who love to have a buddy around at all times.� They are made with super-soft fleece and a double-bellow squeaker for a cozy snuggle under the tree or a very satisfying, squeaky chew.

Dogs will also be barking for Planet Dog's new Slobber-Wick� Wishbone this holiday season.� Dog caretakers will love how easy-to clean it is thanks to a material that will wick away even the messiest holiday drool.� It features red and green colors and "I wish" is embroidered on the top right "bone".� It is also gusseted for extra durability and "chompability".

Planet Dog's new Classic Canine Stocking features traditional holiday tartan colors.� This soft fleece stuffable stocking is 100% lined and includes a soft white Berber fleece cuff making it easy to personalize.

Planet Dog EATS are 100% natural dog treats that aid in tartar control and offer super nutrients in every bite for optimal health and wellness.� Chicken & Pumpkin Pot Pie and PB and J (with real Maine blueberries) are new flavors that feature powerful antioxidants and other healthy ingredients to naturally support digestion and can help lower the risk of diseases.�

The treat line is a perfect companion for Planet Dog's award-winning Orbee-Tuff toys.� Made in the USA without wheat, corn and soy ingredients, they are designed to fit the Treat-Spot� in all of the Orbee-Tuff toys and provide hours of interactive play and wholesome goodness.�

The hugely popular and seasonal favorite Orbee-Tuff Bulb (6" tall) is back and will be offered in classic red and green holiday colors as well as the whimsical Lil' Bulb in a smaller size (4.25" tall) for the small chew-frenzied, drool-happy dogs.� Each features the Treat Spot for stuffing Planet Dog EATS or other healthy treats, spreads and Christmas "cookies" that may show up in a dog's stocking.�

The Orbee-Tuff Snowball is a 2 ?" winter-white ball that won't melt like your run-of-the-mill snowball or contain yellow snow.� It rates 5 out of 5 chompers on Planet Dog's Chew-O-Meter scale.� And, as the seasons turn, it can be frozen to bring back the true feeling of winter and provide a refreshing summer treat.�

Not only does Orbee-Tuff Mint (4" diameter) feature the retro red and white swirls of the real candy treat, this "sweet" toy is infused with natural mint oil.� Like all Orbee-Tuff products, it is made in the U.S.A. and is non-toxic, recyclable, durable, bouncy and buoyant.

All of Planet Dog's products make great gifts for any occasion for dogs and dog lovers and all are covered by the company's 100% satisfaction guarantee.� Consumers can buy them online at http://www.planetdog.com , by calling Planet Dog toll-free at 800-381-1516 or at retailers nationwide.� Retailers can also call to purchase them or place an order online at http://www.planetdogretailer.com .�
