Gripperz No-Mess Bowl for Messy Dogs & Humans

You know that thing where you're rushing around the kitchen, short on time, and you accidentally punt the dog's water or food dish across the room, showering your kitchen floor with water or kibble? Yep. It pretty much happens without fail whenever we are late 😂

This age old problem that I'm pretty sure most dog-owning households have is why the people at Davro Design have created Gripperz, a dog bowl that is designed not to slip, slide, or become a moving projectile. A two-piece product consisting of a plastic base with a Tacky Tech pad (that enables it to adhere securely to most flat surfaces), and a stainless-steel liner, Gripperz retails for $19.99 and is BPA free. 

While the bowl has yet to hit the market (it's Kickstarter just launched), it's definitely a product to keep an eye on! If all goes to plan it should be shipping in November 2020.

Also yay to a NJ based business!

Pebby: Your Pet's Robotic Babysitter

"Smart" pet toys seem to be the current trend and the Pebby aims to take internet connected pet devices to a new level.

Currently in "Kickstarter" phase, the Pebby is a wireless/Bluetooth enabled system that is made up of a ball, collar, charging "kennel" and mobile app. Like other similar toys, pet owners are able to watch, interact, and capture their pets movements/activities while away from home through the ball. Built from durable, shatterproof polycarbonate, Pebby is designed to withstand rough play and the occasional dip in the water bowl. It looks like you'll also be able to easily change the look of your ball  with magnetic caps in a variety of colors/patterns.

The part of the Pebby system that excited us the most is the charging "kennel" which wirelessly charges your ball. Simply drive the ball into the kennel and it will self dock and begin charging!

The least exciting part of the system has to be the collar, which serves to provide movement/activity tracking. If you don't already have a pet activity device this is a nice integrated add, but not sure if it's going to challenge any of the existing leaders in the market.

Pebby is currently offering a limited edition early bird special ($135) that is 45% off the retail price, so make sure to head over to their Kickstarter page if you're interested in learning more!

Kickstarter: Schnuzzle

Kickstarter is one of our favorite things, and we can always rely on it to deliver products we didn't even know we needed to our inbox. Recently, we got pinged about a new project out of Australia called Schnuzzle. Instead of rewarding your pets with treats, pets playing with Schnuzzle get a burst of delicious dog-friendly scent. While we're on the fence about whether this is actually as satisfying as the folks at Schnuzzle suggest…. we like the concept and the way the Schnuzzle looks.



While the project is being driven out of Australia, there is free-shipping for all those backers based in the USA. We also are big fans of the fact that all parts are being made in Australia or the USA. Head over to Kickstarter and check it out!
