Cats are having a ballAmerican company E.A.T.s (Edible Animal Treats) introduces its new, patent-pending catnip toy. With most catnip toys the catnip is encased in inedible fabric or plastic, which will frustrate any cat. The company has created a tasty, neat, 100 per cent edible toy-treat combination that cats really go crazy for. Creating “Pawbreakers! The Candy for Cats” required the development of a special formula that combines catnip with a human-food-grade mixture designed to best benefit the health and enjoyment of cats. The result is a 11/4-inch solid toy ball, an exceptionally enticing and fun product delighting cats and cat lovers.  www.pawbreakers.com
 
Safety for dogsEvery year many animals are killed or injured on the roads, with these tragedies reaching a peak during the darker autumn and winter months. The British company Sinclair Animal & Household Care will help to keep pets safe with its “Canac” range of flashing safety leads and collars, flashing K9 Lites and new safety collars. Made from high visibility fluorescent reflective material, these comfortable, practical and stylish supplementary collars will shine brightly under street lighting and in car headlights. Available in two sizes, the collars are fully adjustable and include a high quality buckle to ensure a secure fit. To help maximise sales through the key selling period, a new wall-mounted merchandising rack is also available.  www.sinclair-sahc.com
 
Koi food in pouchesThe British company Nishikoi has launched the super-premium “Nishikoi Niigata Professional” koi food in world-first gold laminate stand-up pouches, with a unique product window.

Unrivalled product freshness and longevity is achieved in every “Niigata Professional” pouch by the triple-laminate gold metallised film and the integral resealable zipper. Each pouch also features an integral handle, making it easy to carry off the shelf. Available in two sizes: 500 und 1 500 g.  www.nishikoi.com
 
Aroma and hygiene protectionThe Swiss company Kliba Petfood is now supplying its premium dog food “Iso-dog” in new, more appealing packaging. The company says that the quality improvement lies in the packaging material used: the new “Iso-dog” bags consist of a three-layer protective film with a metallised surface. The new packaging thus guarantees optimum aroma and hygiene protection for the food. The design incorporating a colour coding system has been retained to aid swift, easy customer orientation in the range. The pack sizes have also been changed: the food now comes in handy 4 kg bags, or a 15 kg bulk consumer pack. “Iso-dog Cereal-Mix” with a lighter specific weight is supplied in 3 and 10 kg packs. All 3 and 4 kg bags have a practical zip closure. www.provimi-kliba.ch

Watching  and feedingWith its new “Big Feeder” model the Danish company Garden Life presents an attractive feeding area for wild birds. Bird lovers can use the feeder to attract precisely the birds they want to see on the feeding table, because the height-adjustable roof means that only birds below the selected size have access to the food.  www.gardenlife.dk
 
Climate control for dogsThe German company Paulchen Heimtierbedarf is a new “Outlast” licensee and is premiering products with the “Outlast” climate control material for pets in the European market. These products, which include dog apparel, pet beds (cushion & sofas) and blankets, help to create comfortable days and nights for the animals. The products are equipped with the innovative “Outlast” phase change material (PCM) to balance temperature fluctuations, so it’s not too hot, not too cold, but the pet feels just right. The dog overheats less and feels comfortable all around. Whether the dog “uses” the patented “Outlast” material in Paulchen’s dog apparel to help buffer temperature changes caused by moving from outside to inside, or the “Outlast” pet bed, dynamic temperature buffering takes place; the dog overheats less, sleeps better and wakes up more refreshed.  www.paulchen.de
