Neater Pet Brands Introduces New POP Floor Display and Launches Big & Giant Bowl at the Global Pet Expo in Orlando, FL - BOOTH 1957

MALVERN, PA, February 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) Neater Pet Brands is pleased to introduce its new Neater Feeder POP Floor Display as well as announce the launch of its newest product line the Big & Giant Bowl at the Global Pet Expo in Orlando, FL. Now retailers can merchandise the entire Neater Feeder line in a colorful, eye-catching floor display. The compact display is designed to quickly communicate the great benefits of the Neater Feeder to busy shoppers.
The new Big & Giant bowl line comes in two eco-friendly colors, Sand Stone & Hunter Green, which are made using rice hulls, a renewable resource. Both sizes have a huge capacity for food or water, with the Big Bowl holding up to 1.25 gallons (166 oz.) and the Giant Bowl holding up to 2.25 gallons (288 oz.)

This bowl line has a totally unique design that is both attractive and functional, as it fits nicely against walls or into corners, keeping it out of traffic areas. Both sizes are designed to fit multiple pets at the same time, making it a solid choice for any family with multiple pets or pet day care centers. The bowls are elevated creating a more comfortable feeding position for the pet and the design prevents bowl ring stains on floors. The high walls, sturdy non-tip base, and non-skid feet of the Big and Giant Bowls help reduce spills and keep it from sliding across the floor. The bowls are easy to wipe clean and are also dishwasher safe. These bowls are made in the USA and available at http://www.neaterfeeder.com.

"Being an owner of three 80 lb + dogs I saw a need for this high capacity, non-tip, non-skid bowl. I figured if I got tired of filling up the water bowl, others must too!" said Fernando Becattini, Jr., President of Neater Pet Brands. "The Giant Bowl allows all three of my big dogs to have access to water throughout the day while being attractive enough for my wife to put in our kitchen."

Duke - The Original Sloppy Dog
For Duke, the third time wasn't a charm. We're not exactly sure what Duke did back in 2006 on that two hour drive from Philadelphia to Baltimore to convince his new owner's that he was more than they had bargained for. Whatever he did, it was convincing. Duke was only two years old when his third attempt at finding a happy home failed (the couple from Baltimore returned him to the rescue shelter for German Wirehaired Pointers without ever getting him out of their car). Luckily for Duke and for us, we came along soon thereafter and Duke finally had a home.
It didn't take long to understand why his previous owners were less than impressed with Duke. He was a sweet and loveable dog, but he had a nose for finding trouble and absolutely no table manners at all. In fact, on more than one occasion we found Duke, all 95 pounds of him, standing on top of the dinner table eating the leftovers off the plates. We even caught him eating fried eggs out of the frying pan on the stovetop while they were still cooking! However, there was a silver lining in Duke's sloppy dining habits. The mess Duke and his sister Dakota made when eating and drinking would eventually inspire the creation of The Neater Feeder.
