Planet Dog Offers a Very Merry Gift Kit for Dogs

August 3, 2005- According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association (APPMA), gift giving to pets continues to rise as more and more dog lovers celebrate special occasions with their animal companions. In 2004, 55% of them purchased Christmas gifts for their dogs at an average expense of $17. To meet the growing demand this holiday season Planet Dog is offering the Holiday Wag Bag.

Planet Dog's Holiday Wag Bag features a tail wagging assortment of Planet Dog's best sellers in holiday colors packed in a reusable white mesh. For dogs, it includes the Holly Jolly Ringo, a medium Orbee-Tuff Bone in a new silver ("tinsel") color and a small red Squeaky Buddy. For humans, there's a WAG Euro Sticker to show canine allegiance year �round.

The Holly Jolly Ringo is a hollow and whimsically shaped dog toy that is sized like a tennis ball and features red and white (candy cane) colors. Both the Holly Jolly Ringo and the Orbee-Tuff Bone are mint-scented, perfect for holiday dog breath, and made from Orbee-Tuff, Planet Dog's award-winning compound. Planet Dog's Orbee-Tuff toys are extremely durable and chewy, crazy bouncy and super buoyant. Dog lovers appreciate the fact that this award-winning compound is non-toxic, FDA approved and recyclable.

The Holiday Wag Bag will be available for $24.95 at retailers in the U.S. and Canada including Planet Dog's Company Store in Portland, Maine. Customers can also obtain it by ordering online at www.planetdog.com or by calling (toll-free) 800-381-1516.

Planet Dog is proud to help spread cheer and goodwill to animals in need by donating a percentage of their annual profits to Planet Dog Philanthropy (PDP), their non-profit grantmaking organization, in support of animal welfare, education and environmental initiatives.
