New Concept in Pet Pampering and Cleanliness
New Luxury and Cleanliness Pet Product Wins Awards and is Recognized by International Industry Leaders – and gives Pet Owners Peace of Mind.
Portland, OR (PRWEB) August 4, 2006
What was once an idea from a small business owner, has now taken the pet industry by storm. Not just a leader in pet luxury and cleanliness, but a pioneer, DryFur of KC Pet Products has already won international awards and received international recognition from industry giants such as the Nestle’ S. A. Purina PetCare Company.
Lisa Kelly, creator of Dryfur and owner of Kitty Condo’s, an upscale boarding facility for felines with international clients – saw a problem, solved it, and turned an idea into gold.
“I saw clients coming in from as far as Switzerland, and their cats were in crates and dirty, sometimes ill, and quite unhappy. I knew that there had to be a better way for the pet to travel. This turned into something else then. Every time an animal is transported, or even for extra comfort for those who want to pamper their pets; there is a better way,” Kelly Said.
She explained that the initial product, designed for both canines and felines, was wonderful, with it’s cushion and moisture whisking properties, but that with improvements, it has become an entirely new concept.
“There is a cushion that is also insulating; helping to keep the pet at a comfortable temperature which is so important. Also the engineering has been enhanced to help resist the product from bunching up, and best of all, even if the pet doesn’t soil, it is quite comfortable for the pet who travels,” she added.
Kelly also went on to explain that the Dryfur pad is popular with pet owners who want to pamper their pet, while the pet is in a crate for an extended time or simply, to pamper their pet with a more luxurious “pee pad”.
This creative love for bringing luxury and health to pets has won Kelly’s company esteemed awards. The editors of Cat Fancy presented KC Pet Products, LLC with the Editors Choice Award for Innovation and Creativity. And Pet Product News, company that has seen products come and go for almost 60 years, has awarded Kelly with the Outstanding Pet Product Award for 2005/2006. In September, Purina will recognize DryFur on their web site. Pretty big feats for something that was an idea in 2003, and introduced to small test markets in late 2004.
Oh and if the awards, improvements and recognition isn’t enough; the price tag will wow you. The product packs are less than $20, with a few under $15, come in a variety of sizes and colors – and there is even special “First Class” Animal Travel Pack with a sticker that says “Live Animal” so transporters can be extra careful with your furry family member.
