Dog Gone Good Time at Global Pet Expo
February 22, 2013 | Posted by Jillian Admin
Greetings from the Global Pet Expo here in sunny Orlando!
Day 2 of the show is just wrapping up and we are having a blast! We are meeting so many new pet pals (Booth 3171) and we absolutely adore talking to all of the independent retailers. We are humbled at the amazing feedback we have been receiving about our Buddy’s Line Fashion Bowls & Accessories!
Our Buddy’s Line Dog Bowls and Accessories are also featured in the “New Product Showcase,” alongside many other amazing pet products! We even caught a glimpse of “America’s Veterinarian,” Dr. Marty Becker, DVM, admiring our bowls!
Occasionally we get to take a break from the booth to browse the show. Look at who we happened to run into! Yes, that’s Cesar Millan and two of his pack members, Junior and Alfie.
We also try to satisfy our “puppy fix” by visiting the oh-so-cute puppies at the Purina booth.
Do you have a pet retail store? We would love to talk to you about how we can help you expand your offering and give your customers dog bowls they will truly want to bark about!

3 Reasons Stainless Steel Dog Bowls Are Healthier For Your Pet
February 12, 2013 | Posted by Jillian Admin
As a dog parent, we know you care deeply for your favorite four-legged pals. You invest in your dogs’ health by choosing high quality dog food, you see your veterinarian on a regular basis, and you make sure Fido gets lots of exercise and play time. You help to protect your loyal companion at all costs from diseases and illnesses. But what about your dogs’ food and water bowls, something they use every day? Could their bowls be making them sick?
Veterinarians recommend that dogs eat and drink from stainless steel bowls for maximum safety and health impact.
Checkout these 3 reasons why stainless steel dog bowls are healthier for your pet.
- Stainless Steel Dog Bowls are Non-Porous: Bacteria cannot live as easily on a non-porous material such as stainless steel. By comparison, plastic bowls which are easily scratched tend to trap bacteria in them and then the bacteria is ingested by your dog. Yuck.
- Stainless Dog Steel Bowls Use Less Chemicals: During the manufacturing process, stainless steel bowls are exposed to far fewer chemicals than their plastic counterparts. Over time and with exposure to hot and cool temperatures, the chemicals and toxins can be omitted from your dogs’ plastic bowl into the food and water they are consuming.
- Stainless Steel Dog Bowls Are Easier to Sanitize: Have a case of Giarada running through your pack? You need to sanitize your dogs’ bowls in the dishwasher at very high temperatures. Stainless steel can be sanitized much more thoroughly than plastic. You don’t see operating rooms with plastic tools and utensils do you?
Stainless steel dog bowls are definitely the healthy choice for your pet.
Fortunately, no longer do you have to sacrifice look and design for the healthy benefits of stainless steel. Buddy’s line of pet bowls have been designed for the integrated pet family. Here you can find healthy and stylish, stainless steel dog bowls, along with other pet accessories that blend in with your home décor.

Puppy Bowl and Super Bowl Wrap-Up
February 4, 2013 | Posted by Jillian Admin
Puppy Bowl or Super Bowl? Which was your favorite this year?
Personally, we can’t resist adorable puppies frolicking about and showing off their athleticism and cuteness. As pet lovers, the Puppy Bowl is the highlight of our Super Bowl experience.
This year’s game was filled with not only puppies, but also included a Kitty Halftime Show, a live Tweeting bird named Meep, Hedgehog Cheerleaders, and Hamster Blimp Pilots.
There was one puppy who’s athleticism and stellar moves earner her the MVP award.
According to USA Today, “This year’s Puppy Bowl Bissell “Most Valuable Puppy” prize went to the most courageous pooch on the field: Marta, a Schnauzer/Beagle mix, from the adoption organization AHeinz57 Pet Rescue & Transport. She out-hustled and out-muscled dogs twice her size to take the MVP title.”
Our favorite Super Bowl commercial was undoubtedly Anheuser-Busch’s Budweiser, The Clydesdales: Brotherhood ad. The heartwarming ad featured a baby Clydesdale that is looking to bond with its trainer.
Fans are able to vote on the name of the baby horse (via Facebook or Twitter), only adding to the cute factor of this ad.
What was your favorite highlight of either the Puppy Bowl or the Super Bowl? Leave your response in the comment section below!
