Backpacks to take the weight off your dog!

Lauren — Fri, 25 May 2012 15:06:28 +0000

Our dogs love to help us out in so many ways like companionship, comfort, exercise and more. When they don’t feel like they have a job, some dogs will get bored and restless. This leads to behavioral problems like running off, acting out for attention, and basically making jobs for themselves that owners may not be so thrilled about. Our newly designed backpacks are the perfect way to give active working dogs a “job”, thus calming them down. The Quick Release Backpacks are perfect for this with their roomy saddlebag compartments, which contain mesh pockets, elastic water bottle holders, and durable zippers. Our removable pack can be taken off in seconds to take weight off the dog while at rest and allow easy access to contents. These packs come in four bright new colors, which will improve visibility and attract attention both on the trail and on your shelves.

Durable & Unique Toys for Small Dogs

Small dogs may have a big bark, but they still have small mouths. We realized our pint-sized pets were being underserved in the market and we set out to right this wrong! Why take risks when we already know what sells? We designed smaller versions of our best-selling dog toys for smaller breeds and took out all of the guesswork! Stock and sell these new Minis to your small dog owners with confidence! How often does a true add-on sale come your way? These small toys take up less shelf space. You can probably fit them in your current peg-space or shelf-space without cannibalizing existing sales from our regular-sized bestsellers. For truly incremental sales, place these new minis near the register or other small, but neglected space in your store. Check out all Mini toys at kyjen.com

Dog Lifejackets – Dual handles promote safety in the sun!

Lauren — Wed, 23 May 2012 22:54:55 +0000

When the warm weather comes out, so do we, and more importantly, so do our dogs. Whether lounging poolside or headed out on the boat, there is a worry about our pets’ safety near the water. Some dogs put themselves in the water, and sometimes they find their way into the water by accident from the dock or over the side of a boat. Many dogs can be scooped up out of the water easily, particularly if they are wearing a life jacket. When dogs are bigger, however, it gets difficult to lift them out, especially in an emergency situation. Worry not, we’ve got you covered with the high quality, durability, and improved safety features of our new life jackets!

Our new life jackets now offer the convenient top-grab handles that will allow easy rescue by hand or by boat hook. The unique, multi-handle design is constructed to add strength and durability for pulling dogs out of the water. The patent pending handles are one-piece of sewn strap that wrap around the belly and up around the back of the dog. This adds strength to the handles ensuring a quick and secure rescue from the water. All this, along with sporting high-visibility colors, multiple reflective strips, quick release buckles, and outstanding flotation make this the ideal life jacket to set sales afloat. Outward Hound still maintains the outstanding price point that will be sure to attract consumers again and again.

New Chew Toy, Unlike Any Other

Introducing a revolutionary boredom buster

Combine a dog’s natural drive to chew with a problem-solving challenge and you have the most revolutionary boredom buster of all time – Seamsters! We’ve designed a rubber toy in which dogs are actually interested! Long, thin strips of rawhide are threaded through deep, reinforced slotted holes in the rubber shells. The dried and hardened rawhide becomes a tough seam that challenges a dog to “destroy” it.

Constructive chewing is IN, destructive chewing is OUT

Dogs of all ages need to chew. If not given the proper outlet, destructive chewing can result. Seamsters provide a longer-lasting, challenging outlet for a dog’s natural chewing drive. Both wild and domestic dogs spend hours chewing to keep their jaws strong and their teeth clean.

Non-toxic, natural rubber and knot-free rawhide

Made of vanilla-scented, natural, non-toxic rubber and stitched with thin, knot-free strips of rawhide, these puzzles will provide hours of distraction. The rawhide strips are digestion-friendly – no need to worry about rawhide knots or large awkward-shaped pieces that might choke a dog. The entire package is irradiated for an extra dose of safety. Consumers wet the rawhide for just a few minutes. After rethreading the toy, they let it dry and harden – then the fun begins again!
We offer several shapes and sizes, some even have the added bonus of a hollow treat chamber for twice the reward.

It’s easy… Fill. Stitch. Destroy. Repeat!

Restitchable, repeatable fun
Seamsters stand up to the toughest chewers
Bonus – they clean teeth and strengthen gums
